Serverside Colour Schemes

PsympleJester

Anyway I didnt like my other thread being derailed by the "secondary-idea" so I made a thread all for it!

Idea:

Allow the Server Opperator/Owner/Administrator to set the colours of marines and maybe aliens ingame.
This could be done by having 5 seperate colour areas coded into marines, allowing the server opperator to change the colour of them to create a marine or alien that suits their server.

An example of this would be the current Dawn Of War "Army Painter".

However I suggest it would NEED to be server side other wise everyone would just pick all black making thier aliens and marines harder to see.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah it sounds good to me. And it could really make teams more defined; being able to sport your own colours. Not sure how well it could be implemented in Source though.

I'd rather have mapper-defined camouflage patterns for both Kharaa and Marines, depending on the lighting conditions and the general look of the map.

Server-modified colours just screams to me "PINK ALIENS LULZ!"

Altough, this could be achieved with LUA either way, I'd guess.
