Implemented Name colour preview

[99th_DutchScary]

Heyy,

I want to suggest something simple for the /colour menu.
When changing your colour, most players want to see how ik looks when they talk in the chat.
Sometimes they don't like the colour or are experimenting with different colours.
This results in a warning/mute for spamming. So to make this a bit easier and to prevent mutes, I would like to see a preview when you hover over a colour.
Just something like this:

I don't think it should be hard to add, and it is easier for players are searching for a new colour.
In this way they can already see how their colour looks with their rank colour.

Let me know what you think about this, and have a nice day!

Really good idea. This would also prevent people from spamming in chat.

Very handy!

Absolutely agree with this!

agree, but only 1 thing; the people who still have a black name will not be able to read it properly

The black colour is no longer in the menu. So you can't hover over the colour to see a preview of the black name. So there wouldn't be a problem with black names as they don't exsist anymore. Except for the player that still have them, but they won't need a preview.

Great suggestion, and I don't think it would take much to implement this! :D

 

[Floerkleed]

That would be amazing! I always struggle with that actually! I'm glad you've made a suggestion about this!

Eh i dont really think this is needed, just type something in chat and you'll see how it looks.

The whole point of the thread is that you can get warned/muted for spam by sending 3 or more messages in the chat.

That's the problem. Players talk in chat to see how it looks, they don't like or want to try other colours and talk again in the chat. This results in 3 or more messages without much content, so they'll get a warn/mute for spamming. It's also easier for players when searching for a new colour.

That's sort of a common sense thing. I dont think this is a bad idea, it's just unneeded and not a great use of time given that there are more pressing matters on the server like all the block glitches and stuff. Fix those and ill 100% agree with this, but for now, no.

It's not like they have to put hours of work into this. I don't know the code, but I think it shouldn't be that much of a problem to change something like this. If it is, then yes, they should focus on other things. But I think this is something not too hard to implement, and it would fix a lot of spam in the lobbies. I see players testing with their name colours every day, so I think it's worth the time they have put into this.

Hello 99th_DutchScary,

Your suggestion has been discussed and we decided to mark it as planned. We will be looking into a preview menu for the name colours so people no longer have to write something in chat for it to show!

This has been implemented with the Quality of Life update - Part 6. You should now be able to see a preview menu for your name color, emote color and with the emotes themselves!
