[ArcEmu]/[Lua] NPC Chat message edit

Hello dear MMOwned users.

I have a litte question connected (probally) to Lua. Look at this picture:

I would like to change the message "Hey there, SirRFI (playername). How can I help you?", but wonder how to? I can see there is table called npc_text that has similar things.
But I want to change the "welcome message" that I just quoted and do some others in sub-menus like "Help" or "About" and put there some informations. Anyone know how to do this? I have seen some NPCs long time ago on fun servers like that and they had even coloured text. I tried search tool but found nothing...
So, anyone can explain how to do text like on the screenshot for first-page (npc chat window) and sub-menus? With colors.
Thanks in advice.

EDIT: Lol, forgot to write rest of the thread name. Sorry a bit >.>

when you use the function CreateGossipMenu, you send a npc_text entry to the player. That npc_text entry holds the "Hello there...". You will have to change that number to a npc_text entry you have made.

I believe that's the default text for an NPC without an entry in the npc_text table.
Go into that table and make a new column with your NPC's id and what you want it to say

Also, I believe this may help you with your color problem.
I'm not sure if it works on with Gossip Menus, but this is the only way I can think.
Pulled this right from arcemu, so take the value between the quotation marks for the color you want.

#define MSG_COLOR_LIGHTRED       "|cffff6060"
#define MSG_COLOR_LIGHTBLUE      "|cff00ccff"
#define MSG_COLOR_BLUE           "|cff0000ff"
#define MSG_COLOR_GREEN	         "|cff00ff00"
#define MSG_COLOR_RED            "|cffff0000"
#define MSG_COLOR_GOLD           "|cffffcc00"
#define MSG_COLOR_GREY           "|cff888888"
#define MSG_COLOR_WHITE          "|cffffffff"
#define MSG_COLOR_SUBWHITE       "|cffbbbbbb"
#define MSG_COLOR_MAGENTA        "|cffff00ff"
#define MSG_COLOR_YELLOW         "|cffffff00"
#define MSG_COLOR_CYAN           "|cff00ffff"

You will have to change that number to a npc_text entry you have made.

This way I will have new message, but same in each sub-menu aswell. I would like to do other message in main menu and for an example in help sub-menu. Is there way to do it like this?

I believe that's the default text for an NPC without an entry in the npc_text table.

Yes, it is standart one with id 1 on the table. (My NPC doesn't has his own text there)
About colors - one thing: isn't it C++ ? Well, for now my NPC is in LUA and I'm not sure if defining colors this way going to work

Anyway, thanks for both of you for help.

Colours isn't C++, it's about adding a bit of text before the message and |r after.. And it appear in the right colour. Example

pUnit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "|cffff6060I'm in Light Red!|r", 1, 0)
