v16
[UTChat16.UTChatSvrAdds]
ServerAddsSymbol="-"
ServerAddsColor=(R=255,G=255,B=0,A=0)
The ServerAddsSymbol= is the first 1, 2 or 3 symbol characters you need to add infront of your serveradds.
For instance all lines need to be something like -=< This is the line >=-
Now you would have ServerAddsSymbol="-="
This is so the code can recognize a ServerAdds message & Change the Color of the ServerAdds to your Custom Color.
