Team colors in chat
Sat, 2012-02-11 11:17
Hi all,
I think that a common usability problem hedgewars has is about knowing wich team belongs to which player during an ingame chat.
IMHO a simple solution for that would be that the nickname on chat has the same color as the team the player uses. It will be great.
I see 2 cons for that approach:
- When a player has 2 teams or someone is just a observer: think this is a not as common use case. To assign a random or default color to these players is a fast solution.
- Name cannot be read due a coincidence between background color and player color: that's why i said colouring only nickname, not the chat text... and this also happens when background is white right now.

Sounds great to me! I totally agree with what you are saying. I often run in to that problem.
I have this problem a lot actually; I don't know who to rip when they do something dumb. Always a bummer when a newbie shoots a drill into a wall right next to them, and I have no idea who did it.
