Lagging Noob Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Hey there, I noticed there are colors in the server names (in-game); here are what can be seen while on Silent 1: Jay1 : white Jay2 : white Beg1 : white Beg2 : white Silent1 : yellow Hardcore : white NoQ1 : white NoQ2 : teal NoQ3 : green Fun : green ETPro1 : green ETPro2 : teal Stopwatch1 : green Do these colors mean anything? 1 Quote
Shoresy Posted June 3 Posted June 3 It almost seems as if half way through it starts to be color coordinated to see the dif between servers. IE NQ 1, 2, and 3 are all dif. then kind of goes from there which makes me think it’s to split the servers up on the master list somehow according to server rank. I could be wrong and probably am. It would be nice actually considering all night at work I’ve been right and it’s starting to kill brain cells 🫠 but anyway. That is my theory 😄 2 Quote
Lagging Noob Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 Well thanks Shoresy for your input in any case; if it's really for reading clarity, it could be easier to have maybe only 2 colors and change them every line. My personal guess was the colors being related to who was technically responsible for these (i mean besides DareDevil himself). In the end, it could just be something that meant something in another time, and now the colors are just relics from the past.. In that case sorry it's just the kind of question that tickles my brain 👻 (i'm only equipped with a snake brain...). 1 1 Quote
Shoresy Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Yeah I mean idk. Your idea isn’t bad either. I’m really not sure 🤷♂️ 1 Quote

In any case, rebranding would be interesting, but I don't know how hard or easy it would be to change the name of the servers and their colors in the browser list. Another thing is that our ETL US server has a bunch of spaces at the beginning to make it appear closer to the top in the browser list if you filter the servers by name, but the rest of the servers don't have these spaces, so they don't appear together. Another thing is the list that appears when you press ESC in our servers. I've noticed that some servers don't appear there (like our ETL Euro and ETL US servers), so it should be updated, but again, I don't know how hard or easy it would be to do that. 1 Quote

It's simply input into the server config, same format as how we do the colors in our names. ^1=^2F^1|^2A^1= so on and so on, server restart so it reloads server config, n then should update server master list not long after, like within a few moments. 3 hours ago, Federicrit said: Another thing is the list that appears when you press ESC in our servers.

This is something that's been brought up, could be wrong but I think they said that is something only DD can do currently and with his busy-ness its simply just low on the priority list, but it will be done soon enough 😄 Also: Not everyone sees the server list like this when they press esc, this depends on what mod you have loaded/enabled. For instance, if you delete alll the stuff out of your folders, making it a fresh copy again and you connect to a diff server with their own menu's there is a good chance that will be the menu that you now see when your loaded in that mod, no matter what server you're on. Long as its same mod. For me, if I am on Silent, I get a completely different community server list when I back out of Silent server lol. I connect to our Jay1, back out. There are all our FA servers. I have been simply too lazy to fix 😄 3 Quote

Solution RendeL Posted June 7 Solution Posted June 7 This all comes within a pk3 you download when connecting to a server. The pack is again outdated (?) as with the ip's and also some servers doesn't exist and some are different. The colours should not have any particular meaning, those are just put up there. Things can get really messy tho, if you join some other servers than FA. Running pk3 cleaner should help then. 2 Quote
