Team Fortress 2 Classic V2 - Deathmatch mode when? - Games

After thinking about it I can only see reasons why we [b]should[/b] switch to purple over yellow. Firstly if we go by the base game, yellow is used as a signaling and complimenting color, something that the yellow team breaks in two ways, by making it also be a team identifying color and by using it as a 'compliment' color that doesn't actually compliment anything. Secondly, playing on yellow team sorrounds you with all yellow team mates as well as a yellow hud, i'm probably not the only one who, besides thinking that it looks gaudy, also thinks theres some serious contrast issues wiht the other hud elements against yellow. Purple not only looks great with yellow as a complimentary color, its a lot easier to look at when its all over your screen, as well as not having to compete with any other ingame things for color coding, gameplay related or otherwise, as nothing in this version of the game is purple (besides perhaps some sky textures). That's more than can be said for any of the other teams/colors as plenty of non team specific things in the game are colors otherwise belonging to a team, such as the sky, blood and plants and lastly, if we want the fourth team to be an opposite of green like blue is to red, then purple is a more logical choice then yellow, which isn't much of an opposite. as a proof of concept, here's a purple engy wiht the other teams: [t]http://i.imgur.com/XYDkxoZ.jpg[/t][t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39556064/BlueEngyEdit.jpg[/t][t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39556064/GreenEngyEdit.jpg[/t][t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39556064/PurpleEngy.jpg[/t]

Compelling arguments and I wouldnt object in having a testrun with it in TF2C

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47562877]Oh man, you're a hero. Thank you so much, I'll use these colors for the other class portraits aswell, it looks much more better now. I can't wait for the final look of the GRN and YLW teams in-game.[/QUOTE] Don't forget to keep those shadows tinted, I noticed all your edits had the shadows be the same hue as the unshaded parts, you'll clearly notice the magenta-ish tint by looking at shadows on the red engies helmet.

One question though, is there a drain under the bridge? if not where does all that water rushing in end up?

So you can goto cap the second point at there. (Hard to explain it, but i will give ya the concept for it later)

Aight, as long as it seems to go somewhere to drain Im good

Concerning the issues with the yellow team's color matching with class features such as the Engineer's hardhat, have you tried switching the hardhat/other objects to a more orange color instead? Edit: For some reason, my mobile device took a full 30-40 minutes or so to post this. It was intended to be up there with the posts related the class portraits. Shitty wi-fi, I guess.

Can I suggest we have a single white skin for each class and have it coded to automatically set teams colours through the alpha while everyone decides what exact colour shades people want? Or at least doing that for GRN/YLW for tweaking.

Or at least doing that for GRN/YLW for tweaking.[/QUOTE] Probably worth doing for the sake of optimization honestly, only issue is we'd need to make each player use different vmts for different parts if we want proper colors and not have every team color be the same hue and every yellow part to be the same hue on every team. another issue is arm logos where we'd probably only be able to pull it off wiht "colortintoverbase" unless we want shitty looking mipmaps, and meaning we'd have to say good bye to the noise on those parts. It would be especially bothersome on medic where there's 3 different team colors involved in a small area. For TIP's sake it would make things a lot easier for sure, but unless we can solve these issues its not going to look as good.

[QUOTE=_charon;47562919]It matches up with TFC's teams. [B]Plus, purple is already the color for the Administration team[/B].[/QUOTE] I think they could let that little tid bit of easily forgotten lore be ignored if it makes gameplay easier on the eyes.

[QUOTE=jonu67;47563420]I think they could let that little tid bit of easily forgotten lore be ignored if it makes gameplay easier on the eyes.[/QUOTE] Plus, all the colors mixed can make the Announcer's team brown, which is a prety good color in my opinion. I'll might make a mockup with the Mrs Pauling portrait, but don't hold me to it.

C'mon,just because they share the team colors doesn't make them related and have to go all shitty brown on us.

[B]All in favor of glorious purple team say I.[/B] [IMG_thumb]http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/096582/096582432001.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

What should the purple team's name be then? It can't be YLW anymore obviously,if this idea does get the green light.

[QUOTE=Max357;47563758]What should the purple team's name be then?

Could stand for V___ Laser Technologies? Vision Laser Technologies?

I really don't think you guys should really bother thinking up stuff for a purple team, to be honest.

[QUOTE=mark654727;47561929]rubberfruit hacker man[/QUOTE] fyi (for everyone), mark654727 is TheRubberFruitFace. [QUOTE=blaholtzen;47562769]All these issues regarding yellow and their pallette makes me think we should consider having more [b]3-team[/b] stuff in mind. It's only been discussed a little bit yet, but anything that works for 4 teams should work just as well, if not better with 3, only one team more than usual to think about.[/QUOTE] I remember suggesting some sort of 3-way-dance gamemode when we first started working on 4-team (very early in development). That idea was shot down. Also no purple team for the love of god :suicide:

[QUOTE=UserNotFound;47563839] Also no purple team for the love of god :suicide:[/QUOTE] Idk i like that idea

I've proposed P.R.P.L for purple team's name, but I was told it was dumb. Them saying that it was dumb that it wasn't 3 letters like the rest, with the argument being P.R.P. is better, but it doesn't sound like Purple when you say it aloud. I also have this from like 1-2 years ago, though its rather shitty made: [t]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/174/1/8/powerful_and_reliable_payload_leadworkers_by_kibbleknight-d6ac3fr.png[/t] a better acronym could probably be made, however i still say PRPL is better than PRP.

Well I did a quick Purple Team edit (just shifted the hues of the shirt and overalls) of the YLW Team Engie anyway, just to see how it looked: [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/2mdjllc.png[/IMG]

PRPL Mock-Up based on Badgerpig's color pallet and input: [img]http://puu.sh/hkOSR.png[/img]

Wow I should say what I'm thinking more often I guess

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;47564037]PRPL Mock-Up based on Badgerpig's color pallet and input: [img]http://puu.sh/hkOSR.png[/img][/QUOTE] Looks better, but I feel like the bright yellow is a bit of an eyesore. How does it look with the red engies color of yellow?

i'm all in for a purple team since ylw can be hard too see in desert-y maps making them all like spies #PurplePowa

VLT as an acronym works really well

Me and Badgerpig were discussing PLM (Plum) with something like Power Labs Manufacturing.

What would the purple team's style be? Techy?
