Hi,
this idea is pretty simple and is probably easy too implement.
basically, I'm tired of going into team games where everyone is wearing bright, give away, colours.
i know there is clan match but then everyone becomes identical which kind of ruins the point of being able to design your soldat.
simple idea is that instead of everyone is now wearing bright colours simple have an indicating symbol over friendly players, you already have one to show your own soldat so why not a team one? this way people aren't givenaway by wearing bright red and you can still tell who's on your team

Names are already shown above team member's aren't they?

Only when they're off-screen, or you highlight them. Having the names constantly be displayed would crowd the screen.

What if allies had like a small green inverted triangle, like the player indicator, but smaller, to show friendlies?

Hmm, what if teammates would be outlined in a colour of your choice? Also you would be able to enable or disable this feature.
Like this only much smoother:

^^Not bad!

I was thinking of something else, or at least something that could be added also:
How about if people were able to set the colours of each team themselfs? Like changing alpha to purple instead of red? every other player would still see alpha as red(or whatever they set it to themselfs).

I would rather have the teamate indicator than the outline. The outline makes the soldat too glowy. Glowing soldiers just ain't right.

You could just choose not to turn it on..

Great, so he doesn't turn it on, and he's left with his original problem. Can't we think of something new to suggest?

Maybe player name indicators are always displayed for team members, but is a little more transparent as usual? An option to change the color and transparency in the Config program would also be nice.

Not only that but it also would be annoying.

Decaying Soldat · « **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2007, 07:39:49 am »

So a small arrow would do. Just like the player indicator.

valion · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:57:15 am »

i didnt actual say haveing a name appear over the player, just a little symbol or triangle or something.
I'm shocked this topic hasn't been spammed like any others I make. wow

I'm glad to see people agree with this i hope to see it in the next version of soldat

there's already enough noobs who joins ctf and start shooting their own teammates, because its not clear to them that they are on teams.

I dont think that many people are given away by the colors. In that case it must be bush campers, and I do not want anymore of those.

Xaero · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2007, 02:47:40 pm »

I like it the way it is.. Why do you want markers instead of colors?
A color picker for each team would be cool tough.

-Vis- · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2007, 05:03:46 pm »

I like the idea of selecting a colour for each team. At first I thought it wouldn't be fair to campers, as people would just make enemies really easy to see. Obviously, people can already edit gosteks do that if they want, so it's not really a problem.

What you said at first, isn't really true.
If they hide behind scenery they are always hard to see.

It's only the shirt which is coloured. It doesn't ruin your whole outfit if you are wearing red/blue/yellow/green shirt. If your teamplayers aren't wearing anything like that you will probably shoot everyone who comes to you.

I meant sceneries (of which there are quite a number) that don't completely hide you. People such as SDFilm use camoflage colours to help hide them. Doesn't matter though, since editing gosteks is a more effective way to see campers anyway.

Yeah you're right. Misunderstood a bit

it is more realistic, in reallife you cant just see who's an ally at once, you have to make sure their on your team before firing

Unless it actually is Capture the Flag when teams are probably marked with some kind of shirt or helmet.

Instead of a pointless indicator, it should have a 1 or 2 pixel health bar over their head if they are on your team.

gedazz · « **Reply #23 on:** November 04, 2007, 07:26:12 am »

Whoa! This is the best solution! I love it

valion · « **Reply #24 on:** November 06, 2007, 04:55:23 am »

great idea. hurray, no longer having to see people wearing bright red simply so they don't shoot their friends.

also added argument for, in a team death match. people playing green team have an unfair advantage in some of the older jungle maps

Wouldn't that become a hack?

Why? You only see your teammates health bars.

Don't think he thought through his post that time. >_>

I think this'd be hella helpful, especially with servers like Leo's CTF/INF and [eC] Trenchwars. Medics get a faster assessment instead of having to hold their pointer over a teammate.

Ah yes, this would be very useful for medics!
