I have recieved some questions about how I colered my name in tf2. This is how you do it. - Removed by admin since its decided we rather not see it on our servers - Enter your name in the box with the color codes, copy and paste what comes out of it. Easy as pie.
Enter your name in the box like ^6khadgar, press the button, copy the outcome (with the strange thingy). Go to console and type Code: setinfo name xKhadgar Then your name should be golden if you use voicecommands. Or you can fill it in on your steamfriends name, but the first part of your name will not be colored then.
Seems to be an issue on my server PC where I tried it. Works on my notebook however. Gonna try that in TF2 ;-)
I don't feel the need to do it... not so much of a voice talker in TF2. should only be fun for L4D2 but there you've got too much other things on your head. like zombies... and zombies for instance. and if you ever think it's quiet, guess what there is comming... right! zombies! :lol: or even worse! it could be zombies!
I've just read a topic in where a player says he is kicked for doing this... What about that??? Admins not reading all things??? No points on how to deal with it.... Not saying that you can't have fun... but then let all players in on the fun...
Was this on a lethal-zone server? That's one of the reason's I posted this here, you do not need to have your own name colored at least you know that it is legit
Uhh... nifty. I remember already seeing a couple of people with colored names and I was already wondering how they did it.
the colors can confuse ppl in thinking that the colored dude in question is an admin... and that's not the point of coloring i think?? for example: i saw a guys with a full green name or full white name, these are colors that are used by admins to say something to ppl playing..
is it allowed to use colored name on LZ servers? because i had one first. then a admin threatened to ban me. and when he disconected i changed it again (because i wanted to try different colors) and he did see me through console or something and was almost banning me. and at a later point (i did disconect from the server to join a other where i was allowed to do it) I joined the LZ server again and i had forgot that it wasent allowed. then a other admin raged and said that i should not try to fool them only because the first admin was offline. he kicked me and said. "join the server 1 more time and ill ban you" So do i have your blessing of wearing my Yellow name with pride?
If an admin is speaking in admin chat, he will always have (ADMIN) in front of the message. Whilst I understand the confusion, colored names should not be a problem. If there is still confusion an admin can put his message in the middle of the screen. You have mine. Do you know the name of the admin? And I think he wasn't aware that you could change your colors and thought you where hacking. That's the main reason I posted this here. Doelwit could you make an official statement about this?
