(0023958) unknownna (updater) 2024-08-18 08:49	Thanks for looking into this! I just want to confirm 2 things before marking this as resolved, since this is also going to affect the large frag messages. * I installed Quake 3 again, and it seems that it uses blue for 1st, red for 2nd and yellow for 3rd. I assume Skulltag was trying to emulate this look, but using green for 3rd instead of yellow. If we change these colors now, we deviate from this older Quake 3 look and move on to something new. I hope this is ok. At least I think the newer colors are easier to read with the smaller Doom font. * Did you deliberately use brown instead of dark brown for 3rd? Just want to be sure if it looked better to you. I think dark brown might look better personally, but I play with high gamma so it probably looks different to me.

I hope this is ok. At least I think the newer colors are easier to read with the smaller Doom font. While Skulltag tried to mimic Quake 3 on a lot of things, including the old scoreboard and medal system, I don't think it matters if we deviate from this. At this point, a lot of things from the Skulltag era that are reminiscent of Quake 3 have changed significantly. The newer text colours here look better and fit with the more traditional use of colours used for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Quote from "unknownna" Did you deliberately use brown instead of dark brown for 3rd? Just want to be sure if it looked better to you. I'll admit, I didn't take a very close look at your screenshot(s) to notice that you were actually using the darker brown text colour instead of the regular one (and I entirely missed reading "dark brown" and focused more on "bronze"). My screen was a bit brighter, so it appeared like the latter when I glanced at it. The current brown text colour can still work, but I'll agree that dark brown works better. It wasn't a big deal to change this:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commit/ab45af7bfb8eb0fcd616afac984f185c78fefbc7 [^]'
