Colors. Again.
« on: December 01, 2009, 13:35 »


I've been saying for a long time already, change the shotgun/pistol ammo color, for crying out loud, or at least externalize it into ini.
Same with stairs, main stairs should not be white. After a fierce fight with map revealed it sometimes takes me a good 30 seconds or more to locate the damn stairs, especially if its surrounded by pistols.

The large medpack is hard to locate when there's a lot of blood around. I always have trouble finding it after clearing Hell Arena.

And sometimes I have trouble distincting pistol (ammo) from shotgun (ammo) cause of the poor contrast (it's more clear if you play fullscreen but I can't with this Vista :'( )
Also a double shotgun looks annoyingly like a simple pistol..

For some reason I've NEVER mistaken a double shotty, even though it looks very similar to the pistol. But yeah, that one needs a color change too.

[Bindable] colors would be nice, yes, but then we would need to have a special de-coloring function for BB Screenshots, and for when Mortem Tags get fixed.

actually, that function should be easier to write than a custom colors binding, since that's gonna output the defaults and not the user-defined values.

The question, then, would be "would having a default color defined internally conflict with user-defined colors?"

I always wonder why people cry about this system, when there is no problem at all.
Right click on title bar -> Properties.
Go to console settings and change the font type and/or size of it.
It is possible to make console screen extend the size of my Vista screen (17", 1920x1200). Big enough, I would say.

Actually, Karry, although you're ChaosForge #1 malcontent, I'll actually provide a solution for this in the next release ;-).

Server-only version requiring a good terminal emulator?  ;-)
