[Suggestion] Option to Remove Enemy Highlights


(PillowTalk) #1

I don’t need my hand to be held to recognize the enemy. Resistance and Security have completely different sets of clothes, plus enemies have no name on their head. The extra bit of help is unneeded, and actually makes telling who my enemy is on an individual level harder, since it masks their personal selection of colors.

I would like to see an option to disable these highlights for those of us who don’t need them.

I agree wholeheartedly. But when making suggestions it’s appropriate to say which platform you’re talking about. For PC for example, the server admins can turn it of (or tune it down) by themselves. So it’s good to lobby for it and hope server admins hear this demand.

If more console players complain about it and this turns out to be the consensus then SD can change it down (or off) without any problem.

I was more looking for a client side option to turn it off so I don’t need to find servers that have it disabled.

There might already be one for that. I hope someone with more cvars can help you with that. My personal gripe is that it offers an advantage I don’t want (and neither want others to have).

Maybe… Maybe. I’ll have a looksee through the console command list… Though none of the commands on the lists thus far have descriptions of what they do, so unless it’s blantantly obvious by the command itself, I may not find it even if it exists.

I was super dissapointed when I saw this in the final game. An option would be nice. They give all of these customization tools for textures and colors of outfits, then render them pointless by surrounding the eenemy in an ugly colored aura. That said, at least they can still see the what your character looks like, colors aren’t as important, and your team sees you exactly how you are. Besides this and the horrid net code, I had an utter blast yesterday with Brink.

Hi all,

‘g_enemyTintEnabled’ is a client side option to enable/disable enemy tints
‘si_enemyTintEnabled’ is a server side option. If set to 0, it will force all enemy tints to be disabled on clients. (for the pro’s :))

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Cheers Kap! Now let’s hope a handful of admins take this to heart.
