Alternating Colour Names

Suggestion type:
FGunZ

Suggestion description:

Like the dash that changes to a different colour everytime, but for in game names. Obviously using the colours from the current colour name change list: http://i.imgur.com/mNSvzTE.jpg

Either have one you can buy that lets you access the whole range of colours, or just certain groups of colours, for example:

Group 1: http://i.imgur.com/neVC3jU.jpg

Group 2: http://i.imgur.com/XJeZ2zY.jpg

Group 3: http://i.imgur.com/ACXwm4r.jpg

What do you guys think of this? Maybe it's a better idea for VIP's, I don't know. Is this something you would buy?

What are you brasilian?

Cool idea, however I'm not sure if it'll cause database confusion? Unless it doesn't change the colour code (^1) and it's the same for everyone who purchases it, so their name stays original.

Like

Notorious > BUY VIP COLOUR BLUE > Notorious (now blue) however still original and can still be whispered as just /w Notorious

Although (some) players will like this idea, it will be a pain when it comes to reports and looking up people for staff members though.

From the gm perspective I have to say no. Will make it even way more confusing when people are going to report each other. Most of the time people dont even include their colors/full name when they report someone and we have to go look it up for ourselves, I can imagine how this will get a shitton more confusing unless there's a good system

Maybe that's why it would be better to make it for VIP only, if you see their actual name on the scoreboard, it's not really a problem is it? But I guess that causes a hassle.

Yes, that's the idea. It wouldn't change the colour code in the name.

wouldnt it be possible to leave the normal name ( with colours , or without ) on TAB / scoreboard so people still have a chance to report they just have to screenshot the scoreboard in order to report

If it doesn't add a colour code to the name then it wouldn't cause confusion since when you TAB to scoreboard the name would appear normal (Notorious), however in the game chat box my name would appear blue?


Then again when it came to spam reports, there may be an issue since the FG Lobby chatbox doesn't show colour codes there, so anyone could impersonate a user who has an "original colour" name by copying them with the same colours however using colour codes.

Im not sure if it's possible to code such a thing? Unless you make the colour name a slottable item? Like your weapons etc are.

no clue im not a coder someone with coding expierence should reply if this is possible or not or maby run a test if they have their current tasks done for the upcoming patch

How about if every in game account / character was assigned a unique account #number like they do on battle.net and discord and like it is on the forum, so that if someone wanted to report another player they can look up the number on the in game scoreboard and maybe even in the in game chat, lobby and fgunz.net individual player profile as well to make it consistent and then put that in the report thread, which would make it way easier for the GM's to identify the exact player. This would hopefully mean that there would be no confusion between twin characters and the colours in the names.

That's like a solution to a problem that doesn't have to exist. :>

Would still be a good idea to have anyway right? Just for making reports easier and identifying twin accounts.

Like

Notorious > BUY VIP COLOUR BLUE > Notorious (now blue) however still original and can still be whispered as just /w Notorious

It wouldn't have to change the colour code like you're thinking. The ZChat function accepts an optional parameter of colour. So if we'd like, we can just say

Code:

---

MCOLOR(0xFFE2EF7)

---

and we'd get a Pink output without using a ^.

Honestly, it's a good and creative idea, but I gotta go with no on this one. This game is already colorful enough. If we just keep splashing rainbows everywhere we're all going to get migraines playing this game lol.

What I do like about this suggestion though is the # code, like Discord does, to distinguish between characters with similar appearing names (shoutout to Failure and FaiIure you twin fokrs).

I'd like your suggestion BUT i think that this need be for staff members only.

How about making it so just the text colour changes and the name stays the same

I'd rather call it Fgunz the color instead of Gunz the duel

A new colour code that randomly picks from 4 different colours each time you write, it can't be that complicated to make however i dont think its a good idea, too much colours

Make a ^x color which is basically randomized so people know if his colors r changing the original name would have ^x

I would like to support this suggestion.

i always wanted my name to be rainbow color very good suggestion lol xd aaaaaaaaaaa

I was wondering how no one had come up with this specific suggestion to fix the problem of reporting or just general identification. A new problem arises though. What if the person that has ^x flames someone else and it just so happened a person with a similar name but with a different colour code is in the room. You wouldn't know which one to report if the ^x pulls up green in the line that he chose to flame with. A rare problem, not to mention, you can base it off of other lines since you need more evidence to report, but still worth mentioning.

yes i would buy this i mean who doesn't want their name to change color haha very good suggestion bro i support

I've changed my mind and have been brainwashed by kuja.

In my opinion this suggestion is a complete joke. It will look completely retarded.
Reason to this is that the colours will change each time you type something and press enter. It gets difficult for the players &gms to figure out who that player is. For GMs, they wouldn't be able to figure out who to mute if that person is spamming.

I could keep arguing for this suggestion to be added on its own but I doubt it would anyway.

I'll reopen this suggestion if this ever gets implemented: https://freestylersworld.com/showthr...t-Character-ID
