Outlines.

Got a great new idea for the game?

Outlines.

Postby McSplat » Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:33 pm

Maybe there could be black or white outlines around:

1. The tent location icon's medical sign. In some servers, Red team may have a hard time trying to find their own tent on their map if there are similar colored clusters around it, since it blends in to make it appear as just a red square.
Or you could place both an outline on the cross and the main icon, making each color the same to each other for any team.

2. Command posts/intel.

3. The text. I literally have to strain your eyes to see what someone typed if I am facing or surrounded by brigtly colored voxels. Basically all the text in general should be outlined by at least one pixel. (Reload sign, killstreaks, anything text related.)

Right, sorry, it's just that when I tried using the search, it appeared to be broken. It works now.

P.S.

That's your signature?
Well, whatever satisfies you, I guess.

You could outline the tent icon in the png folder.

Here:

To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

Thanks, but I meant for it to be implemented, so there would be no need to manually do that.
Plus, maybe the cross itself could change color to the team itself, seeing as how the outline idea could make it work.
Also, there could be an outline added to command posts also, with the same reasons stated above.
EDIT: I think i'll place that up there.

Meh, some people may prefer the original look.

They could simply save what was backed up from the previous version and place it back in the proper folder.

Playing as red is pretty uncommon, that is why this suggestion is not mainstream as such. But when I play on that deuce map as red it is really hard!

Anyway about text, yes /agree that we need something to fix that, see other active threads (darker background around text).
