Title: [CHAR] Enemy's nick is unreadable
Post by: Oliver on February 13, 2014, 10:39:02 AM: Too dark for fast reading in battle.

And when i rejoined on my second character, which is member of BB faction, Mayck had brown nick, but my was still light-blue.

Light blue is just a personal name color. It's gonna be removed soon.

I thought this is good idea.

That could work, but it might be confusing since family is orange and BB is brown. Light brown is very similar to orange, so it might look like you're in family when you're BB then.

We will make it in the future so that you can select your own colours for each faction (and yourself), and when you don't, these will just be the default ones.

So confusing that you just swapped them xD

Family is brown, BB is orange.

Post by: Lidae on February 13, 2014, 02:31:37 PM: We only have combat armours (critters with all animations etc) in so many different colours. Green would be a little confusing, since that's the default colour of a regular combat armour, and also the colour used for most things in the pipboy (so the faction colour wouldn't stick out).

Post by: Lidae on February 14, 2014, 04:09:09 PM: Next update you will be able to specify your own colours for all the factions, using the NameColorizer.txt. All factions have two colours, one bright and one darker. The bright one is used for some cases in the pipboy (colorizing the automap).

Post by: Oliver on February 15, 2014, 05:18:48 AM: Good, but not all players will do it. Some will use default.

Post by: Lidae on February 15, 2014, 02:26:30 PM: Maybe I'm in the minority, but I kinda like the default. We'll probably have a more advanced in-game menu to change the colours on the fly, but for now, I think it's enough that the option exists for those who want to change it.
