Darkplaces - more clientcolors?

[Cobalt]

I ran this by Lord Havoc a couple of years ago, but was curious if anyone else would like to see expanded colors for the clientcolors / shirt pants colors for the players? I noticed some of the shirt colors are kinda "off" in retrospect to the lagacy Quake color layout, and I think LH said more colors could be obtained, but I am not sure what it would involve coding wise. Then theres the fact the stock player model probably is stuck with that default colormap, but I could be wrong? I noticed that the .colormod feature does work on the player model, but it tints the entire model, there is no seperation for pants / shirt. Any feedback appreciated.

You mean like being able to set RGB values directly to shirts and pants ? Sure, although I haven't used it in my mods (mostly sp stuff) for a loooong time.

'color 0xff0000 0x00ff00' in fte will use pure red for the upper colour, and pure green for the lower colour. This really only works because the QW protcol sends colours as strings (part of the userinfo) instead of as integers. Getting it to work with an NQ-based protocol like DP's will require additional protocol extensions (read: not gonna happen any time soon).
The practical upshot of this is that you can set both your colours as 0x000000 and then be impossible to spot when you're hiding in the shadows. Oh well. :s

You could always just use different .skin files instead.

half-lifes colormap works the same as the quake guys but with rgb sliders, i believe. they have a default color that changes.

HL is only shifting hues with two integers, topcolor and bottomcolor, on two 32 color palette ramps placed toward the end of the texture's palette. It is not the same as specified RGB values

ProQuake has recently added colors 14 (FULLBRIGHT RED) and 15 (FULLBRIGHT ORANGE), to bother server and clients. This is viewable on RUNEQuake & CAx practice mode.
