Change specific player's icon colour on a minimap.

Hi, I've noticed that some of the players are on the map green (probably rookie) instead blue. It means that changing colours already somehow works. I am quite often play NS just with my friend, we are trying cooperate but sometimes when some of us is killed or whatever and you need know where is the second one, should be fast solution if I could mark my friend on a map let say with more prominent blue colour instead always asking. Every time when I would check a map, I see where exactly is my friend. This should work for everybody, could help also the commander organise a team. Is there anybody who could do mod for this ? Cheers

Not a bad idea! There's definitely room in pub games for improved tools for forming squads and keeping track of certain team mates, any suggestions for how such features might work with the current interface?

I think it could work same was as mute player. Hit the TAB and then just klick next to the player and colour would change. I made illustration picture.

Or same way like you kicking player or voting for a maps, just there should be option e.g. "add group 1" or something like that. I am sure that there is a way how to do it easily and fast changeable.

That would be a good start, but maybe it would be best if you selected a colour for yourself - so it's visible globally for other team mates + to the commander
