Different Cycle and Trail Color

Post by bigchum0594 »

I've read the wiki on this topic. However, no matter what I try, I cannot get a white bike and a blue trail. Can someone please help me?

Also, how do you make your trail two different colors?
(One time I saw this person who had a white trail and if you looked at it from the other side, it looked green.)

Thanks guys!

No way to get white bike and blue trail?

Post by bigchum0594 »

I looked at the iceman's network site, and apparently there is no combination for white bike and blue trail.

So is it impossible to get that combination?

Yes. Also know that you're exploiting an old bug that has been fixed and where the fix is only disabled by configuration. As soon as enough people annoy us with questions about it, the default will change to having the bug fixed by default, and if some more people annoy us, it will be removed completely. You just pushed us further that way.

And the other half will quit if colour codes in text is removed. The only reason most people play is to mess around with different coloured cycles and text. Every idiot knows that.

you can be a team player and an "independent" player at the same time.

Actually, I wouldn't mind at all if half the players left because of a colored-text fix. That would save me the extra time of silencing every moron who makes their regular chat text something other than 0xffff77 (or whatever it is, let's not revive that argument again).

I'm not sure what you mean by independent, buy I think epsy is trying to say that a "team player" is a "considerate player" and would not use annoying color codes solely because it tends to aggravate a lot of people. You won't get a lot of support on this issue here. ;)

sometimes it can be really annoying, especially this here...
(it's 0xffff88)
with "independent" i mean players in death match or dog fight who don't have a team there, but who can also be ctf players (i for example :P )
and as long as it isn't annoying color codes can be funny too xD
and useful: you can start a friendship by telling someone how color codes work ;)

No, it's 0xffff7f (but 0xffff88 is easier to memorize) :-D

Now I'm just spamming. :)

Oh Word, we all understand the usefulness of colored strings. That's why they remain in the game. The problem is that they are abused too often. If you make a friendship teaching someone color codes, you should be a better friend and explain to them how annoying it can be, and to use them with care.

Obviously spray paint is the only way.

The wiki has more info than you need. And yes, it's 0xffff7f if you should even care.
