Discord Colored Text Generator

Inspired by rebane2001's app

This is a command-line tool that you can use to create colorful discord messages using discord's built-in ANSI support. Unlike rebane's, this tool is generally intended for larger sets of text with repeating use of colors.

Setting up:

Creating a keywords JSON:

Use keywords_template.json as a template and create a separate file to determine a set of words you want to be colored. Naming should be in the format keywords_{name}.json, where name (without the brackets) is the name you call at runtime.

Keywords should be entered into the empty lists of the template, surrounded by quotes and comma-separated (regular JSON format). Capitilization does not matter. Do not use words in the form ____s and ____ed, the tool will handle these for you.

Using the app

build.py takes two positional arguments and an optional nitro argument. To run, you must have a file with your input text in it. Your output will show up on your terminal and in the folder where build.py is located.

Positional Arguments:

• keywords - the name of your keyword file (keywords_{name}.json)
• input - the name of your input file (any format, include the .txt)

Optional Arguments:

• --help - bring up the help menu
• --nitro - doesn't split your message, so you can send it all as one large message.

Example:

The following is using the patch notes for AOE4 from December 2023. The example folder contains the files for this.

python build.py aoe inputaoe.txt

returns the following:

and looks like this on discord:
