[Player Model Images] An Alternative

[sev]

btw i agree with the new playercolors and playermodelpreviews... but the background shouldnt be white... cause our menu is actually blue

The backgrounds are only white because these are the previews. In the menu the backgrounds of the images are transparent. (Put the player_model_images.pk3 into the /data/ folder, and you should see them in their full glory )

Wouldn't it be possible to use Hexadezimal coding for message and name colours (colour 12 = ^b, for example), and then use exactly the same colours as in the player colour palette? I think a lot of players would appreciate that (including me).

No, as the name coloring system is from Q3A and should stay compatible.

If anything, ^A to ^P could be used to map to the player colors.

If qstat's method to unescape q3 color codes is correct, q3 has only 8 different colors, so the current system already is incompatible...

Some q3 mods (POPULAR ones likes cmpa or osp) extended that q3 name-color scheme.. i'd expect qstat to handle that well.
