Sig Making 101


Firstly you must realize that it works on [hex] script. I’m no computer programmer so I may not use the right terms but it’ll work, I taught myself. The following are examples of how to do various things

[\center]center[\/center]
[\b]bold[\/b]

characters to use to make the big letters can be found in Microsoft word under symbols or copy paste from here
─│┌ ┐└ ┘├ ┤┬ ┴ ┼ ═║╒╓╔ ╕╖╗╘╙╚ ╛╜╝╞╟╠ ╡╢╣╤ ╥ ╦ ╧ ╨ ╩ ╪ ╫ ╬
these characters can be combined to make letters.
So to make an “S” you would use the following characters
╓─┐
╙─╖
└─╜
now you will run into letters that require spaces. To do this and keep alignment correct you cannot use just regular spaces. You have to use ┼ to make the spaces. Now that brings me to the next part: color coding.
To make colors you must use [\hex] codes again. To make colors work properly you must use [\hex=xxxxxx][\/hex]. Now the “x” are just the way to colors mix. To find the coding you can go here color chart
Ok so here we go pick out the color you want to use. Lets say red which is color code “CC0000”

Then figure out what you want to write out.
Lets say you want to write out “HOBO”
To start drafting it you will use characters to make the letters and ┼ to make spaces.
It will look like this

╖┼╓╓─╖╓┐┼╓─╖
╟─╢║┼║╟┴╖║┼║
╜┼╙╙─╜╙─╜╙─╜

now you will notice that it is readable but there are the space characters present that make it look less desirable. Also you might remember that you chose to use red as your color but really you can change it per line or as often as you want (within the character count which is 1500. I recommend starting simple and building up.)

First you will start with [\hex=cc0000]╖ for the first part of the top of H. but now you need that space ┼. piece white, you must first end the first color by [\/hex]. Then start the next color code for white which is [\hex=ffffff].

So now we have [\hex=cc0000]╖[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼.

This will continue all the way across which gives you code that looks like this
[\hex=cc0000]╖[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc0000]╓╓─╖╓┐[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc0000]╓─╖

that is the first line coded all the way through.

So this is what the whole thing looks like coded for color red
[\hex=cc0000]╖[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc0000]╓╓─╖╓┐[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc0000]╓─╖
╟─╢║[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc0000]║╟┴╖║[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc00000]║
╜[\/hex][\hex=ffffff]┼[\/hex][\hex=cc00000]╙╙─╜╙─╜╙─╜[\/hex]

and it comes out looking like this

╖┼╓╓─╖╓┐┼╓─╖
╟─╢║┼║╟┴╖║┼║
╜┼╙╙─╜╙─╜╙─╜

now you might want to center and bold your sig up. This I mentioned earlier. Start your coding with [\center][\b] and end it with [\/center][\/b]

this will result in your finished product to look like this
╖┼╓╓─╖╓┐┼╓─╖
╟─╢║┼║╟┴╖║┼║
╜┼╙╙─╜╙─╜╙─╜.


that’s all folks mail with questions
