Like the R1Admin chat team tags?

[Paradox]

We all like them. They prevent things from happening like:

Human A: Decon the overmind!
Noob Alien A: Ok (decons)
Humans win.

They are also part of TJW's g_admin, just disabled by default. I discovered this yesterday on sst, and it seems foolproof. Just set the cvar g_chatTeamPrefix to 1, and bam! R1Admin style team tags on global chat. The upper conversation would look like this now:

[H]Human A: Decon the overmind!
[A]Noob Alien A: No, your human.
Gameplay continues

There are a few other cvars i have emailed tjw about, i am pending their response, including one that looks like it could lock out equipment. Tyrant and Luciless game? Perhaps.

Without luci, tremulous isn't worth it:evil: :wink:

Team tag isn't bad, but even with that, you often get caught of guard against cyan colored chat messages.

I think we should disable all colors in the chat messages ( and black in names )

Or at least make the teamchat color be impossible to select.

or simply disable cyan in chat.. much better, methinks.  :roll:

Nononono!
Keep all the colours! PLZ!
If someone is noob enough to listen to the enemy, let them be so.
Just give him a good yelling at so he learns his lesson. If he does it again, kick, or ban, he's proven himself a deconner.

Simple, no?

Actually, I think it might be enough to color the team tags:

[A]GNT|Cephas:Decon the reactor
[H]GNT|Cephas:I'm not falling for that

What about newbs who don't know about the [A] & [H] flags.

No cyan text in global chat, and only cyan text in team chat FTW.


In 1.2, I would also like to see a more complete manual, one that includes how to repair for example (I hated it when I was asking and the players how to repair and they, not all of whom where on the other team. kept saying repair was alt +F4, e, etc..., I'm not dumb, just uninformed, geez).

There is an interactive supermanual. Just enable tutorial mode.

[A]GNT|Cephas:Decon the reactor
[H]GNT|Cephas:I'm not falling for that

Of course, i guess it would be easier when you're talking to yourself
