Family name color
« on: September 21, 2014, 12:25:55 PM »

So, I don't know if this was proposed but could we get name display in Crimson Red or some other color with would give us more difference from BB.

I mean its not too bad, but it would be better with more contrast to them.

Yeah it was proposed lots of times ^^. For now the only solution is name colorizing.

You can change your colors yourself editing NameColorizing.txt in your client folder.

Besides, I'd like to receive color suggestions from Family members!

Our problem is that displaying a dark brown/dark red name color in the Family Palace looked extremely bad because of the red carpets everywhere. That's why we unfortunately came up with something that is indeed not different enough between Brahminboys and Family.

So, please if anyone has good colors, show us screens and i'll gladly change the default NC color.

Hmm you're right, didn't think of that. I guess shade of green or lighter red could work.

For example

Color is #006600


(Looks better ingame, bit blurry in screen shot)
Color is #FF0000

Lets see what more family members will say.

Edit : Green is better than red one from my test, light red gets kind of too bright for eyes while green is greatly readable at chat and on screen.

I have mine set to a very similar green and it works nicely for me for target recognition, but as for a base color im not sure, though green is unused at the moment.

I would argue against ANY faction being red......red is just bad for everyone.  Players see red they think kill immediately.   


The shade of green you posted, deathproof, would work nicely.  Purple would also be a good choice IMO.

Yeah I vote for green too.
We need a different color to make us stand out from these degenerates.

Color still has to be close to the faction theme, so green wouldn't do imo...

Well you could try changing BB's to brighter yellow, that would solve it. But I don't want to speak for their faction its up to them...

P.S: I'll test different shades of red later, maybe something looks not too dark and not too bright.

A darker purple color would seem nice. It seems kind of Mafia-ish. And the family is the Mafia, am I wrong?

I'd like what the original post suggested and make it a nice crimson red.
Unless it would not contrast well with the carpets inside the palace...Wouldn't want that.

Controlled zone looks so gay on the map, otherwise cool.
(Maybe bit lighter because chat name is too dark)
