Title: Players with red names?
Post by: Stem Sunders on October 15, 2014, 09:01:09 PM
We once came across a player with a red name, everyone I asked couldnt give me a definitive reason for it.

We thought that he was an ex faction member with really bad rep?
Anyway I've never heard anyone talk about it, there is nothing here on the forum about it afaik. And I've never seen it since.

Also I haven't changed any of the enemy faction name colors, only home faction.

I have been dying to ask so...What does it mean?

A few screens, to show I wasn't the only one that saw it.

No, leaving a faction renders the name white. You know neutral like.

In one of the files called Namecolorizing.txt it has the following lines:

############################
# Players colorizing section
#   Player name      Name color        Contour color
####################################################
>   cvet             NameCvet          ContourCvet
>   GoodBoyName*     NameGreen         ContourGreen
>   BadBoyName*      NameRed           ContourRed
>   One&Two???       NameGray          ContourYellow
>   Sidle&Jinks             NameBlack          ContourBlack
>   SidleJinks             NameBlack          ContourBlack
>   SJ             NameBlack          ContourBlack

>   Tabak             NameBlack          ContourBlack
>   rifleman17             NameBlack          ContourBlack
>   Cracker             NameBlack          ContourBlack

Notice BadBoyName is there?
My guess is that its one of the devs testing out names colors, I mean why else would this guy be in the files we all downloaded?

I believe that it was made using the TLA SDK, which would explain that.
