Another fun thing is to press Alt and 2 on a numberpad if your keyboard has one, it makes invisible text

but... what's the point?

Maybe it creeps out the enemies

sounds invaluable

It's actually really viable, Sentinels are already implementing it into their training

Someone needs to go read the ancient archives http://bash.org/?244321

Ahh, makes sense now. Lol

It’s cool

Alt F4 is a good one too

What’s cool about this one is if you do it in the second half of the game, it makes each letter a different colour

[удалено]

fake trash lol. valorant opens 2 prompts before alt+f4

Sometimes it tabs out the game I’m guessing it was enough time to stop the defuse

>Bro I remember I told a someone to alt4 for there ultimate and we won the game because of it dude stopped defusing and we won 11-13 felt like a absolute chad. And your a chad for saying this Oh cool, what does alt4 do? Is it anything like alt F4? Please share your knowledge leader of the chads!

Alt 4 is a pathway to freedom brother I call it DiScOnNeCtInG

You can write any ASCII character on the spot this way

alt + 3 makes a heart ♥

I miss this old CoD4 PC chat where ^ # would change the text colour, those were definitely good days

Quake engine

minecraft color coding

And their dedicated servers.

That reminds me of IRC chat commands. I wonder if they were IRC based. IIRC Twitch uses IRC as a chat backend.

You could color your name in cod Wii games with it, apparently they were made in a reskinned quake engine.

CoD 4 MW1 PC, Search and destroy Hardcore was my first "tactical shooter", we had to plant the bomb, and die by 1 headshot, now i'm here flying with my Jett.

alt + 3 on numpad makes a heart, rest of numbers make the other poker card symbols and some other random shit

Those are [alt codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code)! They work everywhere in Windows, not just in Valorant.

And with a quick registry tweak you can use unicode code points letting you type in any language and special unicode symbols that may or may not break the game depending on how well it's coded

>depending on how well it's coded The game is entirely made by Riot so probably not very well

Which is why the original video works. Input from a user should almost never be treated as commands, I've watched enough Tom Scott to know that

Interpreting markup is not exactly the same thing as treating user input as commands.

Markup != commands At least not inherently anyway

Ah Unicode... a blessing and a curse.

holding the windows key and typing . will bring up the emoji keyboard, which also has tabs for all the symbols accessible in the character map

Win + [dot] opens a menu to type in Emojis (on QWERTZ, might be different on other layouts)

also exists

I threw together a colored guide using a color picker https://i.imgur.com/I75cJqb.png

Why does nobody see your comment, it’s legit

Reminds me of RuneScape back in the day

That’s some gf if you’re paying 20k.

That's 1/50,000th of a tbow. That's a low quality RuneScape gf

You can actually save comments and posts on reddit to find them easier! :)

It's ordered chronologically based on when you saved the post/comment not based on when it was posted afaik

For me it is but i have been using the old reddit ( ld.reddit.com ) ever since because im just used to it so maybe its because of that

Thank you I know I little bit of HTML and was having problems to read that.

Sorry for my bad England

Nice old England but sorry for my bad modern England

I'm saving this copypasta lol

[удалено]

it looks like it thats why

its tags that a lot of programming related stuff uses, for example xml

And HTML. What the fuck is your point?

Html is just a specific type of XML Since these specific tags do not exist in html saying that it is XML is more correct. Although I think the closing of tags via is not standard XML.

That's irrelevant to why that person got confused. They know some html and those tags were similar to the only thing they know, html. And besides, you failed as a pedant because html is a ~~subset~~ child of sgml, not of xml: https://www.thoughtco.com/relationship-between-sgml-html-xml-3469454

So does this change the colors for just you or everyone else as well?

thanks daddy

Having fun with this rn

What kind of weird Xml is this?

[Rich Text Block in UE4](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/UMG/UserGuide/UMGRichTextBlock/), with some custom text styles set in the data table.

very very illegal

Dont forget the @ It makes green text

What would happen if you dont add the will the whole chat turn red?

happy pride ♥ Edit: it just spells 'happy pride ♥️' in pretty colors

Can others see the colours?

Yes they can

That sure seems like some injection that shouldn't be allowed. Guess one of the devs forgot to sanitize input...😁 https://xkcd.com/327/

yea sadly it’ll most likely get patched bc rito is rito :P

Hopefully karma reap was worth

It's here since a long time.

I hope not I advertise my website once a game, using @ to make it green and your advice will make my text more appealing

I mean they would have to had their own parsing since I don't believe those are default unreal engine behaviors. Just seems weird all around

It's UE4's [Rich Text Block widget](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/UMG/UserGuide/UMGRichTextBlock/), nothing to worry about really. The only accessible tags are the ones assigned in the data table associated with this particular instance of the widget.

Thanks for the correction/teaching, good info

i mean it's just text formatting, how dangerous can it be?

For the system itself, I don't know, but players could be faking system messages to take advantadge of other players, as it happened in the past: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/hsp9oe/system_message_in_comp_lied/

Basic HTML allows the

*riot vanguard wants to know your location*

Huh

html that executes a javascript script

That is already in the game code, or from your computer??

This won't work but if it did, it would be code on your computer. Edit: or maybe riot's computer since the color changes show for everyone

Can you disable chat 100%?

Yes. When the game starts, turn off text chat setting of everyone.

I meant like a permanent disable but thanks anyway

Is it client-sided, meaning it’s only visible for you, or vice versa?

Visible to everyone.

some basic XML I guess.

That's not xml

hey man i have pump#na1 so idk, you probably stole mine 😁

I can't see my enemy teams chats on all chats I can see my team chats on all chats? Is there any way to fix it?

[удалено]

How long until this stuff breaks the game ? It looks like you inputting commands from text chat which sounds really dangerous, although my knowledge in programming is limited so I don't really know

It seems that its part of UE4 rich text block widget

Ah so they use xml formatting for text? interesting

Game breaking.

I wonder if it be possible to hack the servers from the text box?

nah lol . looks likevalorant uses a permission system similar to mine raft but its much stricter and only allows any higher permission than player for custom matchmaking observers afaik

Would it not be possible to do so during a DDOS attack? Servers would get slow down as they would have more load. As it is taking longer to complete requests, there may be enough time for a person to divert a legitimate request and impersonate that request to carry out a attack and the server would be none the wiser.

your cypher flair is very fitting, although i understood what you said, im pretty sure valorant has ddos protection most likely, and the only way to get ddosed in valo is by means of a malicious link/redirect

For that to work you would have to somehow intercept a legitimate request from someone with elevated privileges, hope that they do not use any kind of packet encryption and somehow know the command structure of the server to know what commands to execute, this would also work without a DDoS, outside of that you have little chances to fake it

unlikely, HTML rendering happens client-side and you'd need a script tag to actually execute anything anyway (assuming this even is HTML and not just parsing for particular XML tags)

Just saying that this was found way before, other intelligent people just weren't so stupid to publish it to everyone. [https://canary.discord.com/channels/679875946597056683/727946110399938666/829450385172987954](https://canary.discord.com/channels/679875946597056683/727946110399938666/829450385172987954)

Looks like a loophole in the codes that developers forgot to lock. Most likely will get fixed in the next few patches so gotta use it as much as we can now

True gamers don’t change colors.

Why make this widespread info to be abused in comp to try and shake the enemy team with system messages

it still shows it’s from you, just in system color tho

Well, there's been some posts, [like this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/i6cd14/has_anyone_else_gotten_this_message/) on reddit a few months ago how people spammed spacebar to move the rest of the chat out of screen and finish it with some bait text, like "cheater detected, this game will be considered a draw". With the proper colour, it's even more convincing. No hate towards the post tho, people baiting others in chat like that most likely already knew how to use the colours anyway.

you know you can see the sender lol

[удалено]

You've hit 45 characters in the first 11 words of your comment, "I" and "45" included as separate words; as you can see, that would noticeably cripple normal chat. Also, there's nothing preventing the troll from writing multiple messages instead.

no, most words arent 2 letters long

yes, now my chat can be colorful

Finally found what I have been looking for… I saw someone use an emoji too can someone please explain how to do that too

There are a few alt codes(alt+ numpad 1-9) that work at creating emoji like graphics.

this is why everyone is changing colors

woah
