vinoveritas Report post Posted August 1, 2018 Right now Guilds have only the possibility to Color Code other guilds, so it could be a warning for fellow members if a player in the other guild provided either very friendly services to the guild, or are someone where you need to watch yourself around him. Now a lot of the players that causes trouble, and quite a few of nice players are without guilds. It would be helpful if the guild where able to Tag those players with colors too. which could help a lot in telling who is actually dangerous, or very friendly player. Of course Colors red green purple and yellow should be excluded from the color coding as they are already used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RipTide Report post Posted August 1, 2018 I like this. Though, mods can still make players PK-able and their name turns red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revi Report post Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) @Riptide: that's why red (with green, yellow, purple) should be excluded Perhaps blue (NPC) should be excluded as well. That leaves a very limited number of colours for the player name (as you don't want colours close to the reserved ones either): red dark_red blue light_blue dark_blue green dark_green yellow dark_yellow purple dark_purple grey brown orange, and dark colours can become very hard to see on dark backgrounds; light colours on a light background is less of a problem, as you can use a (darker) banner background. And it has to be implemented server-side, as it has to be sent to all guild members; so the server needs to check (for each character to be displayed), who it's going to be sent to, what the receiver's guild is, and what colour (if any) that guild has attributed to the character to be sent. I don't know if bots use the name colors, but any that does would also need to be adapted. Edit: and how are name changes to be handled? I don't think the name colors attributed by the different guilds will be part of the character data, so a namechange would reset the color to the default. Which means that relying on name colours to identify a scammer can give you a false feeling of security ("X isn't tagged as a scammer, so should be ok to trade with", where X used to be Y who was tagged as a scammer...)
