Text Colors
« on: June 21, 2006, 02:17:31 am »
I dont know if this has been brought up before, but i think it would be cool if chat was displayed in colors regarding the team the player is on...i.e red talks in red, blue talks in blue etc. This would help when you first join games, and you want to know who is talking to who

Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

Yeah this could work, though in some maps this could become inpossible to read due to the colour of the backgrounds ect... but none-the-less good idea

well i was thinking about the colored backgrounds as i was typing, so maybe the text could have a shadow effect, or maybe embossed? i dunno...any more feedback is welcome

EDIT: MAybe the name of the player can be embossed in the team color?

I think any color other than white would be harder to read, but it might not be too bad.

ehh... I think it would be too distracting. Especially if your playing TDM with Charlie and Delta. They'll just flash out at your eyes

The text is way too small to have borders. Pastel colours would probably work well. There aren't many pastel blue or pink maps around, are there?

maybe not the name, but a little bullet before the name in the team color. or to make it simpler without colors, what CSS does is they put (CT) before your name if your counter-terrorist. So in soldat terms, if you were bravo, it would put (BR), if you were alpha, (AL), charlie (CH), delta (DL). you understand? either the bullets before their name or this IN their name. input?

I suggested this long ago (dec 2004) , but also added that , with FF on, if you kill a teammate , the "you killed ***" should be green , and likewise "killed by **(teammate)" also.
