Splash Damage and Nexon, explain to me why there isn't any colour blind options.


(Talak) #1

@RazielWarmonic I am not colour blind myself, but I have friends that are as well as millions of other people around the world. If Klei, a small indie game developer who made Invisible Inc. has colour blind options for Protanopia, Deuteranopia and Tritanopia, then there is no excuse not to include them.

Dang, must suck to be colorblind :frowning:
I’m pretty sure SD will implement it in the future but I guess they have more importance bugs and content to change/fix.

I am pretty sure there is a guide floating around here on the forums on how to tweak the game to use color blind mode.

EDIT: Found it, and it took me all but TWO SECONDS to find it ; ) the search bar at the top, it wants to be friends with you.

Or maybe Splash Damage is too busy making useless cosmetic skins for a first person shooter that doesn’t have mirrors and trinkets that don’t even unlock properly. The backlash from that on this forum is ridiculous when there are bigger problems to work on.

It’s unfortuante because I was expecting more from a developer that made one of the most popular and best free to play first person shooters with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The modders in that game had colour blind options within the first 6 months after SD released the source code back in early 2004. Give us the sdk Splash Damage and let us do what you apparently cannot.

I want this game to succeed, but the way things have been handled since I started playing last summer says it’s not going to last 13 plus years like Wolf:ET has.

While I’m more than capable of tweaking things in a .ini file, people that are affected by colour blindness should not have to dive into the coding of the game to make these kinds of changes.

Is this game not a free to play game that nexon wants people to take interest in and continue to play? Make it accessible otherwise this game probably won’t last more than a few years.

This is the PCMR, if you don’t like what your given, you tweak it yourself till you get results that you want. All I’m saying…Gnight.

I looked through the guide that you linked and changed the settings before I made that post at 6:55 PM PST.

This is not a matter of whether or not I’m capable of changing a few things in a .ini file. This is about making this game accessible for someone that may have come from playing a console and has never owned a PC.

Next time read what a person posts on a forum before making ridiculous posts. The very first thing I typed on this discussion was I am not colour blind myself. I have no need to change the colour settings in the .ini file

I posted it so you can send it to your friends, if you can do it, maybe help by setting it up for them? If they are looking to play but need this colorblind support mode, this is literally the best they are going to get for now. This is “BETA” after all and not a finished product, don’t expect all features to be implemented when the game is not done.

If they are new to PC and if they intend to use a PC as a primary platform for gaming, then they are going to need to learn this stuff, yes you shouldn’t have too. But its a necessity, also you get to learn stuff, which is always fun.

Should this be added as a toggleable feature ingame? Hell yes. If major titles can do it so can Dirty Bomb, But is it in there right now? No. Is it planned to be implemented? I have no idea. I was just trying to help, sorry for wasting our time I guess.

Edit: Would also like to apologize for my quite snappy remarks, drinking and forum posting don’t mix well : (

That is a more reasonable post. One that I want to find on these forums. I became irritated when you made that troll comment and went a little overboard. I apologize.

Of course I intend to use the link you provided to help my friends and anyone else that may need it.

(Talak) #12

No problem. I’m glad we were able to work this out amicably.


(Amerika) #13

@Faraleth, who is a mod here, is color blind and he worked with Naxxus to make that guide. SD has said they will put in a full color blind mode in the game options at some point but since the game is still in development it’s not been allocated time yet since there is a fairly easy workaround that works moderately well (I think Faraleth has one or two issues).

Hopefully you can get your friends set up with the config changes. If not let me know and I’ll take care of it for them.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I was able to set up the config myself using that guide, so I’ll be able to help my friends and anyone else that needs it. Thanks though.
