Quake3 Name Stuff

November 28, 1999 3:42 AM

The incredible non-rush of holiday weekend news continues. How about you go annoy people with colored names on a Quake3 server? Here are the new color codes and how to do it courtesy of ThreadZ. Yeah, I actually colored the number codes. Is that dedication or what? Amazingly I caught myself before color coding black and posting it.

id changed the colored name control character for 1.09.
Instead of an escape character it uses the carat or "^" followed by the color number.
0 black 1 red 2 green 3 yellow 4 blue 5 cyan 6 purple 7 white
An example is my name ^ ThreadZ. The carat is white and the text is red. To create this in Q3 the command would be seta name "^7^^ ^1ThreadZ^7"
