Title: Name Colours
Post by: Somberfire on August 07, 2007, 07:46:58 PM
Hey everybody!  A friend has recently told me about OA, so I finally got around to playing it and all I have to say is WOW... major props to everyone that made this game, because it is a brilliantly visceral fragfest.  I'm mainly a UT player, and haven't played many Quake games, but now I really want to play the original Q3A to see what all the fuss is about :-] .

*ahem*

I do have a question about the subject of coloured names.  I've seen a few people with them, but I don't know how to make my name coloured.  Sorry if it's a n00b-ish question, but I have no previous experience with Quake.  Thanks in advance for the help!

First, welcome to the game. Hope that you will have countless hours of fun with us :)
As for the names, take down your console and simply type: /name "^1Somberfire" this will present you with this: Somberfire. The use of double-quotes lets you use spaces in your name and the use of the caret, or ^ followed by a number, is what brings color to your name.

Black = ^0     
Red = ^1
Green = ^2
Yellow = ^3
Blue = ^4
Cyan = ^5
Purple= ^6
White = ^7
