Feature Request: Say colors for others

[dbenoy]

I'd like to be able to set my say colors as are seen by other people.

I do this on my own MUCK and it makes things much more readable if everyone (who opts to) has personalized colors, and it's also cool and fun :D

Unless I'm mistaking what you mean here... all my lib-yaro commands actually do allow users to personalize how they see it. It has defaults, sure, but using editplayer they can change their color settings so that, for example, what may be ^AQUA^ to you in osay could be ^GRAY^ to them. It also allows one to define line and tag characters much the same way.

Well right now there seem to be settings for how you see character's pose text, and how you see their talking text. (I suppose you're saying that can be overridden) but I'd like to see you being able to set those colors but instead of you seeing other people with your chosen colors, they see you with your chosen colors.

If you want to log into Latitude I can show you.

Like, Pinkie Pie will probably want her name to show up in bright magenta, and her descriptive pose text to show up in darker magenta, and then probably some more bright magenta for the dialog text.

And once she selects those colors, everyone would see that whenever she talks.

Ah, I get it. I'm not sure a lot of players on EqF would appreciate someone pushing their colors on them or not. It's kind of the opposite of where I was going with lib-yaro, but I could work on a setting wherein they could keep that from overriding their color settings. Generally I want lib-yaro to respect a player's own color settings and not use another player's...

Up to you.

I do get the occasional complaint about someone's offensive colors, but I could address that easily by just banning certain colors like dark gray.
