Teams with color

Post by ChrisGW »

Hi all,

I know:
you can change team name with team_name_1 ...
and the color from this team with team_blue_1 [...]; team_green_1 [...] ; team_red_1 [...]

my question:
if i change just team name, but with a color code like 0xff0000
is this not the same effekt like team_blue_1 ... makes?
z.b: team_name_1 0xff0000 Color Team

i try this and the message who win after 1 round (Winner: [teamname]) was in this color.
the joining messages (player 1 join [teamname]) was in color, too

why we need team_blue_1 ... ?
ty for help!

Well, if you just use colour codes to change the teamname's colour you dont actually change the team's colour. So you could change Team gold's name to Team blue with Team_name_1 <colourcode> Team Blue, but the player's would still be gold. If you were to change the team_blue/red/green_1 to make the team blue then the actual players are going to be blue.
You've gone too far, turn back!

ah ok, if i just change team_name with color code the name is in this color but the player-line is in old color :D

ty :)

question 2:
if i change team_name_1 0xff0000Red color Team
and team_red_1 0xff0000
it wokrs? and then the message like Winner: [team] it will look like Winner: Red color team and not just Winner: Red color team. This looks better or :D?

question 3:
how i can "say" that a color is end?
z.b in arma i want say: this is red and after this in normal color? here i use (/color) how it works in armagetron?

No. team_red_x does not accept that format. You need to set
team_red_1 15
team_blue_1 0
team_green_1 0

Use 0xRESETT to get back to whatever the default color is.

Does this work in the old latest stable release? If not, 0xffff88 is fairly close to the default chat color.
