Default Other Colors

Hello. I think it would be nice if the mod did change the colors of the teams. The biggets reason why is that neraly every mod with teams and corlors uses the red and blue.

I don´t have any big problems with blue and red it is just that the mod whould feel more SourceForts and not a mod that have coded so it can freze object. And I know that there is alot of other things you have coded but it is not everyone who is thinking of that when they play.

So change the colors to Blue and Green, Black and White, Purple and Purpule, Gold and Silver!

You can edit everything up until map lighting, which will most likely be red vs blue. HOWEVER whilst I was fucking around in 1.9.4 with the colour correction, I discovered you can change everything, so I changed all of the sf concrete textures, map lighting, block textures to green vs orange. IT. WAS. AWESOME.

Only problem is, you need to put the colour correction entity into your map :/. But what would be awesome if the colour correction entity used a empty raw file in each map, like COLOR.raw. And if you wanted to edit it, add your version of color.raw to overwrite it and you'd have what ever colour vs your choice again. I doubt the colour correction would work like that, but it'd be awesome.

Red and blue are optimal choices, thats why games use them.
  • They have short, one syllable names, which means that announcement sounds and text-based graphics can be concise and to the point.
  • They are primary colours of light, and therefore extremely different from one another
  • Red and Blue are two colours that can normally be blended realistically into map geometry without seeming bright and over the top.

A fun idea I had a little while ago was having Hot and Cool teams, each with three colors (Red/Orange/Yellow and Green/Teal/Blue respectively), and players could individually choose what color they wanted to be on either team. This helped free things from the static 'red versus blue', and added some flexibility to the color scheme.

And if nothing else, you can make huge puns off of the names.

Purple vs Purpule FTW

Anyway.

Love that idea, Kohan. I'm all for customization.
I have a rough idea for the visual change in V2 with regards to colour and style, and I was thinking it'd be wise to use new tones of red/blue anyway. I'd like to refrain from going all the way to green, though, and more towards MsWord Turquoise - maybe starting with a bit of a purple-ish blue...
...Depends what style is used...
If the coders can say how easy this is it'd be useful...
