Dear readers,
I came with the idea to maybe change the squad colours.
I play a lot with my friends lately and every we ask to each other ‘‘where are you?’’.
There is a icon on the map that shows you where your friends are, but I had an idea which is:
Can we maybe change in the options to give our friends a different colour so we can see each other on the battlefield.
Maybe there is already a topic about this but not that i could find.
Dear regards StarwarsnielsNL
this is actually one of the best suggestion i heard so far.
it might be a bit harder to implement, but a must need.
similar to CSGO, so that you can coordinate a bit better with your teammates, and recognize also your friends.
i was thinking to do an overhall changing marks thread. can i unclude this part in my upcoming thread?
cheers^^
Not really. The markers have an RGB or hex color value, and it should be overrideable with relative ease.
If not, this entire game is just full spaghetti code.
yes it does mister megamind.
how about you get higer by those people and show them what and how can be done.
because what i mean is, more often i see color based on user machine colors, and not multiplayer per session.
it’s a bit hard for me to explain, but take as example coh2. color system it’s not relayable for everyone as each player see others of different coloors between each other.
the same issue occour with war cries. those are based on player’s machine. not on client (if that does make sense?)
only the guy pressing H will hear the war cry. not the others.
which works perfectly fine for a marker system as well. Fetch the local data for color, while using the server data for position of the marker
edit.
unfortunally, this lovely idea cannot be done with colors, but numbers.
after thinking for 2 straight hours a solution, @5762269 is right. not about what he typed above, but in dms.
so, the main issue is that matches are made of 10x10 in squad gamemode while lone wolf is made of 25x25. we don’t have enough colors maybe only for the squad gamemode…
otherwise
ending up having 6 different type of green. and for callouts whenever you ask for green to do something the others green will be confused on the callout,
so as said, with colors cannot be done. but with numbers.
Sorry, I had to post it.
Just make friends (players that you invited to group or however it’s called) have collor lets say pink + always visible name.
Also I would add marker for friendly human players. So you see friendly squad, every soldier has blue marker but soldier controlled by player has dark blue and name.
Of course name display must be limited in lenght because I don’t thing displaying full name, like for example: “MeTheRullerOfTheWholeWorldAndTheEmperorOfYourMother1234” is good.
My friends said yes
sorry?
i feel like i’m missing something
Haha, i’m his friend he is talking about, we are talking in discord and you asked for permission to mention this thread on your thread.
ah yes sorry.
i was in others threads and i didn’t looked up at the name.
many thanks^^.
i included his suggestion over here:
although, tell him that i had to modify a bit.
because of this:
so he should change the suggestion with numbers.
as unfortunally, we do not have enough colors and would become confusional.
What is going on
Ive been playing this game non stop all week. I would like to see more then 4 squads added to team. allowing us to fill our own teams in game would allow for greater control of the battle field and make this game allot more tactical. Possibly 5 squads minimum. Allow a HQ battalion.The lack of people marking targets as solo’s teams is loosing games. It makes Armour and Aircraft worthless.
I would like just being able to see my friends name on the screen from a distance, and when ur next to them and you look at them it has a blue X meaning friendly, why not add a name there too
ah sorry.
didn’t readed this one.
i eventually came with a conclusion that i written in my suggestion, not sure if you watched it or not, but i assigned 4 different colors for each members. so that you can recognize players.
the same has been answered in the whole post.
we had this feature back in the alpha, but it got taked away for the simple reason of being too much overwhelming. and if there was someone behind that name, it was a bit harder to see.
this is why now we only have " arrows " insthead of names.
but still, for the minimap i guess we could still try to add the numbers. so that there still can be a coordinations between players.
Then I missunderstood.
Good to know.
Then add numbers also on the arrows. It would make them bigger but I think would be worth it.
forgot to mention, lone fighter mode has like, 25/20 against 20/25. it would requires around 20 / 25 different colors and physically, we don’t have so many colors. ending up having 4 somewhat equal colors of different tonality. and whenever you are calling that color, you might confuse all those 4 players of that color.
speaking for colorblindness, things get even worse.
this is why ( and thankfully to him @5762269 ) we came to a conclusion of using numbers
I think the original poster is talking about people who party up, want to see each other more clearly, it is not all squads it is individual squad members as part of party, could we not use a colour on their head at very least?
i included his suggestion here:
colors can still be discussed there.
i just didn’t wanted to overwhelm his post with my thoughts and messages about it ^^
