[cosmetics] Bring back the colourful names?


(Bangtastic) #21

+1 for different colors but some colors could be painful though -1. I dont know, if there were only good colors fitting to the theme then ok. I dont like it how it is done in Nadeo games. I have seen more awkward colors than nice ones^^

What about only customizing font style?


(INF3RN0) #22

The colors would only show in scoreboard and obituary. I don’t think they would be too distracting, but the typical color pallet in the past games worked fine.


(rapid_shot) #23

+1 I miss my “^8{^1SuN^8}^0Rapid_Shot”


(jopjop) #24

Yes, colors back pls! I want to be “cool” again for not caring if my name is just plain white. No but seriously would love to see names with color

Hell no…

[QUOTE=tokamak;425094]I think SD is mostly afraid that it will break their carefully designed aesthetics and with that the overall feel of the game.

And well yeah there’s something to be said for that…

Take out the flags and it would look fine.

If one of the devs gets extremely bored at some point, I guess they could throw that in. I’d be more interested to see something a bit more tidy like a well-formated clan tag / clan icon / name / brag icon #1 / brag icon #2 type of thing. It will be nicer on the eye and it will drive the icon brag machine a bit, where you showoff your rank or vip founder thingy xD, bit more monetizing power than selling a 20 char unicode string parser tbh.

Flags are fine. ✞♄α⊥❝﹩ @łł α♭☺υт ḉяα℘℘⑂ ℉☮ℕ†$…

We’ll probably get around to adding it at some point (not on IFFs though, that could get confusing) but it’s extremely low priority in the grand scheme of things.

For reference, I’ll just leave this here…



(warbie) #30

That looks fabulous!

I imagine that if you guys chose to employ the services of some of the modders in alpha they might want to help do some of the lesser stuff for free. I don’t know if that would breach anything or whatnot, but folks like hannes showed just how capable community modders could be.


(papa519) #32

im all for colour in names, but no gay characters please


(Apples) #33

No need for crazy character, maybe some numbers in box or in square like 3 4 7 but not much :

About the color : this palet was enough to have some faded names and stuffs : http://www.hydrous.net/assets/weblog/2003-12-20/sof2colors-hue.png

I understand it is by far a top priority, I just needed to mention that.


(eldaawg) #34

I’m instantly getting taken back to RTCW thinking about it. Usefulness aside, it’s just a good bit of fun to involve in the game.


(tokamak) #35

I’m positive people are willing to pay for this. And naturally SD can be a bit more clever in the available palette.


(Ashog) #36

Just sell the colornick option for money (not too cheap) - extra F2P income to SD from kiddos like Apples :slight_smile:

Btw they kinda should bring back the longer tagnames first!


(Nail) #37

first 2 colours free


(Mustang) #38

Basic colours free, with purchasable colour packs, à la Draw Something.


(Bananas) #39

+1 to idea.
