Color Names
I tested this out by doing these actions:
1. i created a new unit
2. unit base was peasant
3. i named it peasant
4.when it was done loading and and all of the options showed up, i went to the bottom and changed" text - name Peasant " to "text - name |cFF009988Peasant|r"
(It was a RANDOM color code, but its a cool tealish color
)
I tested the map and the peasants name was:
Peasant
I went into my world editor , clicked on scenario, map description and looked at the bottom left, mine said map version:8
If yours is below that, that may be why.
EDIT:
You can use shadow frenches pro name spoofer to get the codes.
You can also download Chaos Spectrum V1.1 in the tools section.
It comes with Chaos spectrum (AMAZING COLOR CODE GENERATOR)
and also a little color code generator (about as big as your sig parrothead) that can easily be run.
