Title: Player Tinting
Post by: Kryota on March 02, 2008, 05:09:51 am: First off: this is NOT about customizing your appearance. It's about customizing the appearance of others. This idea is based off my PiP idea, but this one can't be used to cheat and shouldn't drop your FPS. I think it would be cool if you could tint one of your friends red, and have another friend blue, or maybe tint some n00b that tked you pink so you can keep an eye out for him :P

This could actually have some other uses too, servers could be set up so the admins can color-code players. If a rank system was implemented for registered players there could be different colors for the different ranks.

Players would look much nicer imo.

:hrm: I can tag/reskin/overlay something a brighter color than shinola brown and that won't confer any advantage?

Where are Caveman, seffy, Henners or the One & Only Real True n00b pl0x^TM at a time like this?

Otherwise, sure, great idea...

Well seeing as you were the only one who thought of that...

Colouring your enemies would suck big time :P

Post by: + OPTIMUS + on March 12, 2008, 11:45:24 am: I guess this idea can be mixed with player one's banner idea. teamkillers go red for a while, frag machineries goes another, etc.
