Continuum gets the content for its F1 help menu from commands.hlp. As usual, an arena can override it to customize the help menu.

Format

The commands.hlp file is just a plaintext file with special control characters, '#' and '%'. The # character creates a new page, like so:

# This is the title for the new page


The '%' character changes the color of the text. Changing the color prints all text that color until another color is specified. These are the possible colors:

  •  %W = White
  •  %B = Blue (public chat)
  •  %Y = Yellow (team chat)
  •  %G = Green (private messaging)
  •  %b = Brown (red, chat channels)
  •  %P = Purple
  •  %p = Pink

The '%' character also has a special use: dynamic key specifiers. For example, "%KB_BULLET" will print whatever key fires bullets and "%KEsc" will print whatever key brings up the game menu. The best place to look for these key specifiers is the default commands.hlp file that comes with Continuum.
