[BUGBOT][Game logic] Confusion Over Team Identification Due to Custom Character Colors

Description

The game was updated to allow custom colors for characters in all modes, regardless of team affiliation. This change has led to confusion among players about who is on their team, as traditional color-coded team identification is compromised. The developer attempted to use halos around characters for team identification, but this solution has proven to be insufficient.

Workarounds

Use of halos around characters for team identification.

Player colors used to be skewed towards the team color in Red Eclipse 1.x, which I found to be a pretty good solution (even with halos disabled).

Though personally, I used /playerundertone 0; playereffecttone 0 to disable player colors entirely as it was the easiest way to reliably identify teammates/enemies.
