Hey guys. I saw the Cool Kids bind their names and switch between them. I can bind all the colors just fine except black. When I hit the bound key for the name, [BACON]^^ appears. I dont know what I'm doing wrong, but all I get is ^^. Anybody else have this problem?
Sorry, but black color has been disabled in recent ioQ3 updates and we followed them. I guess black color may be used in legacy Quake3 in some way to hide the name.
Btw, I don't really see if it's a problem for SG... TheLuckyTaco, maybe you can start a vote in this thread to ask for re-enable black color support
Well, I'm wrong, when I mean black color was disabled, it means server just removes it... So you should have seen you [BACON] tag in white color I guess...

Try using ^0 instead of ^8. See this thread for more info about colors the 1.1 beta.
Ok Torhu, thanks that's it. But I also discovered that I had to put the bind in my autoexec for it to work, which means the q3config in the smokinguns folder is being ignored. I think you mentioned something about this before.
Well...Mr. Chain Blue Lightnin' hisself..heh, heh!
Yes, the beta uses per-user settings. It'll read your old q3config.cfg the first time, but later only use the one in the path contained in the fs_homepath cvar.
You're not supposed to edit q3config.cfg directly anyway, it's better to use the console, or autoexec.cfg for more permanent settings.
