uips Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) There are many different styles of announce messages in the server. Original default is White / white Some ETL reworks have Cyan / Red (ETL Supply) Then there is Blue / Red (custom maps or possibly edited scripts) Then there are some that only use red or blue for attacking team and red for defending even when allies attack. (can be confusing) Marrakech 2 used theme of Light Blue / Dark Red. So i got inspiration from there since this blue is more readable and default red can be somewhat confused with "teamkill" color. This color scheme can be currently seen on Braundorf (Option 5) It is not that hard to use 1 theme in all the maps that run in the server. So i will put here some options to vote for and maybe someone can invent more options or share any thoughts about this. Option 1: White / White (example: Battery) Option 2: Cyan / Red (example: ETL Warbell) Option 3: Blue / Red (example: Gold Rush) Option 4: Blue + White / Red + White (example: Caen) Option 5: Light Blue + White / Dark Red + White (example: Braundorf) Edited June 14, 2023 by uips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebast1an Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Option 5 colours but with the entire message coloured. If chosen from these displayed, then option 2 or option 3. Edited June 11, 2023 by Sebast1an Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Voted cyan+red, but not quite what I'd like. Imo best would be light blue + red, whole line coloured. Light blue is easier on eyes than dark blue but still more allies-like than cyan. And make the whole line coloured so it pops out more in the mess of kill feed etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pick closest one to your preference from current votes. ^4 on whole line unreadable for some reason looks like it is not just me Edited June 11, 2023 by uips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmxj Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Well in some maps i made the announcements manuel. Red = axis Blue = allies If you want every line the same you have to change every map script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKill_ Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I like option 4 the best, however, is it possible to underline these messages with red or blue, depending on the team for improved visibility? Probably too much to ask, but figured it's worth a shot asking the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if u can underline but something like this would be possible a prefix or symbols (example of Marrakech 2 announcements) 19 hours ago, Dmxj said: If you want every line the same you have to change every map script It will not take much time to add color prefix for each message. But imo having 1 consistent theme in all maps is not a bad thing. Just need to figure out which setting would be preferred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe keep the stars red/blue and change the white to something so the whole message stands out from the otherwise white mass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uips Posted June 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Erdenberg will have this theme for testing. (Went with - mark due it being in center line of message) Maybe someone has great symbols to suggest to use as color team R / B indicators Some more options: Light Blue + Red Light Blue + Dark Red Light Yellow message color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
