Suggestion: Custom text colors for scoreboard. #1677

Closed Shigbeard closed 9 years ago

Frankly, I have no idea why this was not suggested earlier.

What I propose is a field to custom jobs, that will allow you to change the scoreboard text color. This screenshot should explain why I think it's necessary.

If I could draw your attention to the 1st player, the cyan player under EbolaChan, and the two Swat players under the Mystery Thieves, you can see it is quite difficult to read their text as it is white text on bright colors.

If we could have a field that allowed an override of this color, optional defaulting to white, i think it would allow for more colors on DarkRP jobs, including white. and that it would be a useful addition for all server owners.

Interesting point, but inconsistencies in text colours can look REALLY bad. It's something most designers don't even consider because of the effect it has on how serious the product will be taken.

Thank you very much for that compliment you jolly knob.

I won't give in to the reasoning of "oh DarkRP is a non serious gamemode, so it might as well look but ugly"

says the guy who keeps the default darkrp hud.

Insults aside, i still think it should be an option, given the hud colors can become unreadable at times On 28/10/2014 5:04 PM, Falco Peijnenburg wrote:

People shouldn't be given any options that makes them able to unwittingly destroy things. That includes the looks of things.

Aight. While you are at it, why not just disable adding custom jobs too. On 28/10/2014 5:43 PM, Falco Peijnenburg wrote:
