had some fun with my nick.

Ah, sorry. I meant tan/brown from the default message colors. /cb and /ce, respectively. Thanks, though.

I would like to incorporate this into Duel32. Not for usage by the mod itself, but merely so players can use more colors in their nicknames. You, of course, will get full attribution, and with every subsequent release I would attempt to keep up with your updates to this WAD.

The reason I would prefer to incorporate it instead of simply adding it as a PWAD is to keep the number of WADs one has to keep track of to a reasonable level when replaying demos.

Would you approve?

Perfectly fine with me~
Do you use Skype at all? IM'ing over there is a good plan- I am creating some new colours for an update right now- I'd be happy if you want to give ideas and the like~

With the wider variety of characters, and the people playing them, I'm starting to run out of colors for use for information in Samsara. This would be a wonderful way to add not only more colors, but also help make a lot of information more visually distinct.

Would it be all right if I nicked this for use in it?

All credit would go to you, of course. :D

[CloudFlash]

So now, since it's going to be in Duel32, Superdemon, Samsara and who knows what else, I think it's just a matter of time until it goes into next Zanny too :D!

Awesome stuff, these colors are finally getting the attention they deserved!

[Lollipop]

May I use this for the Space War one man project I'm working on? (as in copy-paste your file into mine), I will make sure to credit you proberly, and I will let anyone know that you made the text colors. (I already did it, but I forgot to ask first :myam:)

[Fuzzball]

Apparently I ed last night because I if you counted the image previews there were NOT 49 colours...xD I forgot to add one of the images to the post! Fixed that now so ALL the colours are in the preview now! Included said tasty looking Choc Chip Cookies~

Haha no worries if people wanna use it they can just use them!

[Catastrophe]

Hopefully if lots of mods add this, it'll get enough attention for it to possibly get added into zanzan itself.

[Xsnake]

Great stuff, man!

Doesn't stop true colour elements in other mods and packs- this is there to benefit those who can use it.
Software is a choice not a rule~ Not going to turn this into a "Software vs OGL" thing though- this hasn't got anything to do with that and was the subject of much "taunting" when I presented this to certain higher up people on IRC...

Oh, just had an idea: would a separate, paletted version that looks a little better in software+DirectDraw be too much trouble? Would anyone want to use it?

And how would one do that? These work on a text based method, and IIRC you can't make them strictly use Doom's palette.

afaik some default colours are borked in software too, i havnt used software in years but i know on my old pc "\cv" which is a cyan colour looked green and washed out blue on my display.

[Fuzzball]

To get them to work in software would be impossible really- not the method of doing it- as you would just have to set the translations to work on the same palette as the default set only via hex....but you just can't get the same kind of colour ranges...they would just look like shite =/

[Qent]

Well my idea was to change the colors to be less pretty, but look more acceptable in the Doom palette. So if anyone on Linux uses software, then can replace the pk3 with the compatibility version. GL and Windows users would still see the full range of colors.

Note that I have not yet tested all the colors to see what they look like without truecolor.

[Klofkac]

Yes, I can confirm that on linux software the \cv looks green-ish.
