That's amazing, thank you for the addition! That'll save precious space on the sign :)

@@easyboarder you're welcome :) thanks for making the video, i didn't know about the text size, gonna have some fun with that!

@@easyboarder works too, saving even more space.

@@FrostekFerenczy you lose out on over 99.99% of colors with 3 digits lol... #XXX has 4,095 possible colors..., #XXXXXX has 16,777,215

@@ZephrymWOW >4k colors is plenty for me. Especially considering the character limit per sign.

Did you know you can dodge falling trees by using the dodge roll????

I love it because I always have had my monitor set darker, and its super hard to read signs in Valheim, usually I'd just mouse over and eventually just learn from placement memory, but I reorganize a lot. So signs that actually glow are gonna save me

That's amazing, good to know. Every character saved is a good thing, thnx for testing!

Happy I could help :D

It's good to see the codes visible! But the signs won't glow any more, which needs more lights to light'em up... The more lights we add, the laggier the place becomes. Hope people care about this to say more in the official discord suggestions channel. 〒▽〒

@@elisabethdracul8397 In my experience it's the physics calculations on each building block that makes up for the most lag, though having to add an item (lights) wouldn't help against lag, you're right. Some signs would glow too much, especially in day time but others are barely visible after the update (like red). They should adjust glow levels on a per color basis. Good shout! If people want to help, definitely post on the official Valheim discord and their bug report platform: valheimbugs.featureupvote.com/

The emojis are where it's at. Although it converts them into line versions.

The update broke my floating text sign labels (added by inputting spaces after the labels) on my portals do these still work?

@@elisabethdracul8397 I've been using the codes since I saw this a few days ago it must be they added something and broke your saved ones? Because mine glow, at least my xxx do

I see what you're getting at. Luckily HTML is not fully implemented, so to speak. The signs just support Unity's Rich Text Formatting. So no full HTML, even though this formatting is part of the HTML specification. For example; anything with quotation marks wouldn't work. Have a look at the link in the description for codes that are allowed :)

That's awesome! Trying codes is the fun part I think. I've discovered even more recently. Have fun with it! :)

This was also my first thought. I'm not that familiar with HTML injections. I just know that anything containing quotation marks will not work. Feel free to test though, I'm sure the experiences of a white hat hacker (someone who uses hacking skills to benefit the good) would be of great value to the dev team! :)

Right? I felt like a wizard among my friends who didn't know

I just really need to see that for some reason! Good luck!

Thanks! My first good build was a long house but as I continued playing, I decided to add more modern astetics. I built a fighting pit from a graydwarf spawner but it just didn't feel right until I added a bar and grill for the patrons.

For that reason, I ended up using white a lot. Red is visible during daytime but only if you put a light directly on it. A torch next to it will do.

I think : Is the best one day and night. BTW thank for the tip. @@easyboarder

That....would be awesome!

After I made the video, devs changed how signs look and removed the glowing effect. Make sure signs are well lit so you can still see the colors.

@@easyboarder Thanks for the response

I'm very happy that my video helped you out ^^ have fun out there!

Through further research I found that they took the sign glowing effect off of text sign now in a patch :( well wish they would go back to this because it looks great.

I 100% agree! They indeed patched out the glowing effect, sadly. It was a very welcome feature imo especially for the red text. Devs keep messing with the signs in most recent updates. Just after I posted the video they made the code stay visible, but removed that feature in the next patch. For best visibility, always have a light pointed at the sign :)

You're right. The devs have made some changes and lightblue doesn't seem to work anymore. All hex codes (link in description) should still work though :)

Effectively, yes! :) Or: "______" since they're closer together.

After I made this video the devs pushed an update that includes signs. Sadly, they got rid of the glow :( you're not doing anything wrong, the devs simply changed how signs look. It's debatable if this is a good choice. On one hand, charcoal signs also don't glow irl, but on the other hand, some colors are way harder to see now.

You're absolutely right. After I made the video the devs pushed an update containing a couple of fixes, including the code always being visible. This is a good thing, because visible or not, the code itself would always count towards the character limit. At least now you can see all the characters :)

I have tried the portals and also the map markers. But sadly that doesn't work. Curiously, text on the map markers WILL turn colored while typing, but end up white if you hit enter.

@easyboarder Deep sadness. Should be able to run same script

Sadly, the devs removed the glowing effect. The best way to see a colored sign is to have a light color or always shine a light/torch on it.

I personally haven't tried code like this on map markers. It didn't occur to me that this might be a possibility! I myself am not aware of supported code that makes the font in-game lower case. I always thought that the font simply didn't have a lower case variant. Would you mind sharing your knowledge? Because if that works, I have some redecorating to do. And of course, more testing!

@@easyboarder I do not know either. I can write a name of a portal with small caps and it stays like that but with the in-game tags on the map didn't have any success. Seeing your discoveries I was wondering if it is a way to write with small caps.on the map. I think you are right, the font used in the game does not have small caps. My first language is not english, so please excuse me if I was misunderstood. Cheers!

That's good practice! It's also always fun to browse the character map in Windows by typing "character" when you open the Start menu (assuming your system language is English) and use those on signs.

Sadly, you can not change the font. Any code that requires quotation marks ( " ) doesn't work I've noticed.

Good question, I didn't test that. Though I'd guess the devs would've limited this to just style tags since it could be a security risk otherwise. Feel free to test and let us know! :D

That's an interesting question! I haven't tested this, though I doubt it would work. You'd lose 19 characters for the start and end tag alone. Feel free to try this and let us know :D

Sadly, there's no glow anymore. Right after I published this video, the devs posted a patch so the colors don't glow anymore. There are some colors that still seem to glow a little bit, like white. Unless there's a mod for it, the glow is gone for now sadly.

I've seen confirmation that it should work on Xbox. What does it look like when you try?

I've read in these comments that it should work on Xbox, though I don't have one myself so I can't test it. Would you mind pasting the code you're using here? Maybe we can figure out what's wrong :)

It's this: > So if you could see the whole thing, it would look like.... My text here

The dev's have said that the Xbox version is basically the same game, so if I were a betting man I'd say yes. As long as you have a keyboard connected. Inputting emotes could be difficult on a console though.

@@easyboarder when I get the chance to try it out I'll let you know

@@atacstringer8573 Thank you!

Yes it does

Sadly, the devs did some more work on the signs and removed the glow.

You're right. Since the following patch (after the video came out) devs have removed/severely reduced the glowing effect. In certain lighting conditions, like when you look at light colors with a dverger circlet (head lamp), they can still appear to glow a little.

What did you put on the sign? Maybe I can help :)

I just do exactly like you did but the texts didnt glow up. They just change the color. @@easyboarder

It's not valid HTML in the current standard, you're right. I believe this was called inline CSS back in the day (don't quote me on that). This type of markup is now a part of Unity's Rich Text Formatting. But hey, it works!

It actually does. If there's anything you're having trouble with I'd love to help out or send you a code example. For instance, this code will make the word "text" appear white: text. Alternatively you could use: text

@EasyBoarder light blue worked pink didn't. red also works, but red isn't too bright. light blue for me was the brightest but I was trying with pink and pink wouldn't work. So I guess I gotto do the other method for other colours.

If you want to use color names, there's only a few that work. Words that work are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow. If you want something in between, you could use hex codes: www.baskent.edu.tr/~tkaracay/etudio/agora/nnn/html_colors.htm

I've found the best editor is the one you know. I've tried a couple of them, but ended up feeling most at home with Filmora. A recommendation couldn't hurt though. What's your recommendation?

Is it host sensitive cause I tried it in his world and it didn't work

@@CrimsonRaven099 it works good how I put it at top just like this wood

@@CrimsonRaven099 it just don’t light up no more

I don't disagree with this. I assume the devs just went with what unity supports by default. It's a bonus, but you're right, it could've been better. I absolutely love the game but some things are inconsistent. The shape of build pieces is another example of inconsistency.
