Coloured names for admins

Post by Stuntman0007 » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:01 pm

Would let admins stand out in chat more than the {A} tag can.
Not sure how much you'd have to do for it but
if it would be easy I can't see why you wouldn't add it.

Is there any other colors?
I think you might wanna change combine color though.
jose was using lightblue as a rebel and he kept saying "Free" so people misunderstood and got upset about I was pressing buttons then they started to voteban him lol

I got the idea when I saw my name highlighted in purple (sowwy if I'm not supposed to do that)
and everyone else's was default and it stood out well.

I know if you go into regular chat and do @ like you would for
admin chat/ to admins it gives an "admin: <message>" which
yes kinda makes this useless if people actually used that..

Not such a bad idea, since their have been people who have impersonated admins lately......

Chat colors for names have been disabled for players now. Names are to be team specific colors and can only be changed with donator commands such as /green, /red, /blue, /black, etc...

I can add a separate color for admins, but it would make the teams confusing so idk yet.

Months ago I remember Demon's perks ideas for having a certain amount of hours on deathrun and you get something. I liked that idea :|
I think colored names should be one of those "perks" that you get. Most preferably at 1000 hours...so not that many people will have them, excluding blue and red.

Seems cool too.
I just know of gmod servers having chat tags and it makes it easy
to see when an Admin is saying something.
Thought having admins' names a special colour would let them stand out really well
