Why does the green team in CA annoy people?

Why does the green team in CA annoy people?

Is green difficult to see for some people? Maybe in wqpro?

Just wondering.

/If this is the case, this would be something good to change in the mod. I hate it when players use green or brown as colors. For a very small number of maps, white is actually very hard to see.

[Dreadful]

its an ugly color! It does blend in to the map a little and me being red-green colorblind it makes it hard to distinguish from red and especially yellow.

[Paradi$e]

Those colors were programmed into Quake and changing them it is meddling with the color scheme which was originally meant by the creators.

We have changed a lot in the game to accomodate, but not to get over our personal preferrences. That would not be fair. It is up to the player to choose any colors they please as long as they are the original ones pre-programmed into Quake, even if they happen to be Camo. For a trained eye, color is not a problem.

In a way it is even better, it trains and heightens your sense of observation, playing Camo players!

Baker, please do not take this disagreement personally, it is my belief.

The original clan arena, like most team mods, had 2 teams:

Blue and Red

CAx only supported 3 teams in the beginning: Blue, Red, Yellow

Then either Rook or Bam added the green team, because CA+ had a green team.

So that's the history. The 4th team color was green just because that is what CA+ did.

And very CA games intentionally have 4 teams at the start. In fact, I can't even think of a time anyone started a 4 team game intentionally.

Baker, please do not take this disagreement personally, it is my belief.

Do I ever? :d

Did you even read the title of this thread? Were talking about CA..... Ill let omi take it from here

[Yellow No. 5]

It's a bit hard to see in general, and also it's hard to tell apart from yellow.

But generally the problem is that it's chosen as a 3rd color when there's already 2 teams in an attempt to piss off everyone on the server. So if there are 8 people on the server rockstar will go green making it 4v3v1.

I've been meaning to ask rook to add a simple rule: only allow creation of green team if there are 3 teams already.

Yellow... You hit the nail on the head.
//I had actually wondered about that before. I dont know why I never mentioned anything about it.

Yes I did read it, did you read it? CA is a mod played within Quake, therefore it is still Quake and it should support all the colors provided in Quake. This is clear as it can be.

Ill let omi take it from here

And what did you mean by this?

[Dreadful]

I figured he would have something to say seems where ever you post he post, vis versa, making some sort of feud out of it.
and If we had every color supported in it, it would be complete chaos! Why not just free for all!

That's an even better solution.

Yes you are right, in this way, more flexibility is added and it can be played in any way chosen.

I wouldn't want to be in a game where the teams were the blue shirt/red pants team vs. the red shirt/blue pants team :d

Shut up?

It's team based Quake gaming, not RuneQuake where you can aim-shoot-kill whoever you want,so no,not every color should be allowed.Your lips are flapping in the wind for no apparent reason other than giving your insight,which totally cripples the idea of team oriented gaming. So my first two words still are very valid, shut up

PS : Yellow 5 , Baker , to those concerned about REPLACING GREEN.... ORANGE,USE ORANGE!!!!and use Yellow's rule of thumb : no ORANGE unless 3 colorteams already R'd up.

IHOC has orange and its leeto OR OR, use the color BLOODY instead of ORANGE. connect to ihoc.net and choose color 14RANGE 15:BLOODY

[Solecord]

Why not just change green to another color? That would seem like an easy solution?

As far as I am concerned you are flapping your lips in a hurricane - and very disrespectfully, might I add - because they are moving very fast telling me to shut up, when in fact you are not contributing anything worthy to this conversation at all.

Last time I checked, this is an openly public messageboard and all its members are entitled to their freely expressed opinion. Telling another poster to "shut up" is a very immature and childish way of dissagreeing with the oppinion offered.

I suggest you go back to your "thinking" desk and meekly put on your "thinking cap" and offer a more intelligent reason for "why it should be your way," until you do that, your post is just useless drivel to me.

I am a Quaker and I play Quake like any other players and I am entitled to my own expressed opinion on this Quake Messageboard.

Before you fly into another rage again, might I remind you of the current discussion at hand which revolves around using Camo colors, and all that I have constructively added to this conversation is that these colors - specifically brown and green - should be allowed into the CA mod - because it is a mod pertaining to the Quake game, which contains the intended color scheme palette of its original designers.

And in RuneQuake you still have the option to team, therefore your point is invalid and does not pertain to only this aforementioned mod.

In addition, I am a CA player as well, and my opinion is just as important as of another participant in this mod.

Thank you and have a nice day!
