I think there should be more.
-
Well, there are a lot already, and in my opinion, some are quite annoying.
-
Disable funnames altogether.
-
I side with Cobo and Spook.
-
um theres 4
-
That's quite a bit when you consider the fact that you're just typing your nick/name.
-
I'm betting Jitspoe has to make those fonts, surely they're custom... sheesh the work:usefulness factor here is quite minimal.
-

Well, I think we should leave it so that clan tags can be funnamed, but not the player's name itself.
-
Colors and the crazy digital-font thing should be disabled. Some of the brackets and stuff are nice.
-
notice that the people who female dog the most about this game and irc are the ones who hardly ever meddling play. stop whining and complaining meddling girl thingys.
-
The more colors and fonts, the better!

/me slaps ch40s around a bit with a large trout.

Ummm... I hate funname texts and yet I play everyday :o

CoLa, this is not an opinion I gained after I stopped playing.
When I used to play, I hated them.
You seem to think Why do you think that just because we dont play the game that much our opinions dont matter.

because i do. all you are doing is complaining about how annoying this and that are.
-
And all you do is complain about how we dislike some things.

It's not likely that a new font system is going to be implemented, so same ~2½ typeface limit will likely remain. Fortunately the character map is one of the easiest pieces of content to modify in this game, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to experiment with some different typefaces and post screenshots of their work that we could discuss and potentially vote on.

so no one wins =\

I'm getting so darned tired of everyone starting arguments within threads that relate in no way to the topic, seriously if you're going to whine about each other, don't spam someone else's topic.
On topic now, XtremeBain, is the character map content we CAN modify without getting banned? If so, perhaps the solution for those who whine about not wanting fun names would be to just replace the "fun name" characters with the regular character so that those annoyed by fun names never see them. Like wise, create another third-party character map with replacement characters for those like eradicator wanting a different look.

I doubt that even if it is checksum'd, jitspoe would be banning people who are only caught with that file modified. Testing should be done offline anyway.

I guess this could be achieved by changing both the character map and the colour map, but that's a pretty messy hack, and would cause problems with some of the team-coloured strings. I still think the best solution for these people (myself included) would be to make a cvar that doesn't apply the text formatting to names.

This is so simple for anyone to do (well, easier than hud tweaks with rscripts), that I'm eager to see what sort of things people come up with. Just open up pball\pics\conchars1.tga in GIMP/PS and start replacing characters. I don't have either of these programs here at work, but you need to do some sort of light/colour transormation to make a similar conchars1ovb.tga if you're planning on distributing. Luckily for us cl_hudscale takes care of all the scaling, but also you need to make sure they look good at 1x/2x/3x scales.
-
Modding the character map is fine. I don't see how this could be used as a cheat. Good idea, y00tz.
-
Well aside from the pole(people dislike funnames), I now know how to make custom fonts thnx to bain, I think. But bain, maybe you could give me some directions that i would actually understand, on how to do this.
BTW if I change this stuff will everyone else see it or will it just be me because I'm the only one that has it set to what I want?
-
Just you.
-
that sucks
-
You wouldn't want someone replacing their name with a series of penises, would you?
-

I hope not...
-
How about we keep the funnames as they are, and put the work to something that is actually important.

Oh how I wish so...

AMEN TO THAT
-
,and put the work to something that is actually important.
Ok darkness, how about you keep that to yourself. ;)
-
dark's got a point. I already installed the funname disabler and love it.

Such as?
I see people like Zorchenheimer, XtremeBain, Eiii, ViciouZ, sk89q, and myself working on fixes for the small stuff, like the HUD, the character map, etc. Yet people tend be critical when we offer up our creations.
I spend large parts of my free time revamping all parts of the game, media-wise (textures, sounds, models, etc) as well as coding external services and software for use with Digital Paint, what do you suggest we do that is more important?
Change something to the client, server, or operation of the game? That's Jitspoe's venue.
I see a lot of people in this community working hard to help this game, while people say 'yeah, but that's not good enough'.
Give me a break. You and I know full and well that these little tasks, being taken up by random, and varying members of the community are adding up so much to the point that combined they'd be enough to fill a new release.

WOOOO SOMEONE USE MY TWEAKY THINGY!

Two people Vic ;)
@y00tz: I totally agree with you y00tz soon I hope to be making external devices as my cousin might be letting me use some of their old programming stuff books, programs etc. And I only need a bit more info from Jits about the BSP start up info in the .bsps of the maps.
