Display one color fonts

You probably won’t hear this one everyday, and I know people love their colorful names (I remember the q1 days with animated names), but I find it difficult to read names when they are done in every color in the rainbow.

This was a problem for me in QW in trying to read a name quickly to say something in voip for example.

Can there be an option to force fonts to all one color?

funny, I never noticed coloured names in ETQW over the heads.
(Maybe when you press TAB or something I dunno nor did it ever bother me)

And disable arabic and phonetic symbols. HL2 has them and they’re at least as distracting as the colours, and that’s coming from someone who prefers every odd letter in his name pink.

Colourised names = option
Symbols = None.

Yeah I’m not a fan. I’m even less of a fan the way CODMW2 does it - your Steam name determines the colours. So you’re looking at your friends list and it’s full of all these retards with Carets and numbers throughout their name.

Yeah keep that optionnal, on the other hand I really would like a big palette for font, faded tag <3

Its purely aestetic and wont change my opinion about the game but still in this case the more the better IMO, and I’m not sure that require a massive amount of coding …

Peace

Aren’t the color codes already there from the engine? I thought quake 2 had them.

Sof2 for exemple had a huge palette compared to etqw… I like the huge palette :smiley:
