Fancy tool tips...or not o.O

I'm making some items and I want a special arrangement of the tool tips.

Exaple:


Rusty Old Boots
5 Armor
Equip: Your movement speed is slowed 30%

"If only you could remove the rust..."


I want to arrange the tooltip like this. I have a colouring program (Chaos Spectrum) and it has some extra commands
( |R |N ) but I can't figure out what they do.

Can someone tell me how to make this?
 
You will need to do something like...

Code:
|c(YOURCOLOR)Rusty Old Boots|r|n
|c(ANOTHERCOLOR)5 Armor|r|n
|c(ANOTHERCOLOR)Equip: Your movement speed is slowed by 30%|r

That will display as...

Rusty Old Boots
5 Armour
Equip...
 
Rusty Old Boots
5 Armor
Equip: Your movement speed is slowed 30%

"If only you could remove the rust..."

Assuming you don't want colours in the tooltip, then all you do is:

Rusty Old Boots|n5 Armor|nEquip: Your movement speed is slowed 30%|n"If only you could remove the rust..."

|n = makes a new line.
 
You could either read a tutorial or simply download a W3 Item Creator. Here is the site for the Item Creator:
This doesn't create the item for the map but gives the definition for the item with the Colors already and arranged properly.
Here's your picture:

Easy to use.
 
Did for ZiggyMcjoney, his idea is simple. Yours is very good too but I want to follow WoW's tooltip example cuz it's simpler. I +rep you when you link me the site from which I can DL the program :p

A simple way to color text in Warcraft is this :
|cAARRGGBByourtext|r

|c marks the beginning of the code
AA is transparency, which is not used in text (better leave it 'ff' for me)
RRGGBB is Red Green Blue value, using hexadecimal code.
Then put your text there.
|r marks the end of the code

|n is line break

Code:
LOL1 LOL2 LOL3 LOL4|nLOL5 LOL6
Will turn out to be :

Code:
LOL1 LOL2 LOL3 LOL4
LOL5 LOL6

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
