Flashing Server/map message name

[killerxxx]

Why does everyone hate that?
I think it is cool but am not putting it on because of other players reviews but would like to know what is wrong with it

[X-Ray_Dog]

Blinking server names look very unprofessional. Imagine if the whole ms was blinking? I can't imagine.

As for map messages, its called being an attention whore (no offense)

[V-Man]

You must not have been around to "enjoy" the <blink> html tags back when everyone thought it was cool.
That and multitudes of animated gif files. Gahh.

I've lost my left eye because of that.
Why isn't the creator of these forums a 13 year old?! This looks way better...

If you blink really fast, it will appear to be blinking. Problem solved. :D

Mine is sexy :D


Either way, if your server name blinks, its going to get banned from the ms from what jamz and flowtron have said. As for map titles, I said my part on that up top.

I don't think color should have ever been incorporated into map titles tbh. Look at almost every "good" map out there and you'll see white.

[Bukz]

Not always true. Colors *can* be used tastefully but usually are not. :P

[killerxxx]

Thanks everyone

[Viper]

Not always true. Colors *can* be used tastefully

Example? What would be better understood with colors than with black and white? Most colored map messages are just rainbow colored bleh.

:x (open mouth, insert foot)
Keyword "multitudes."
Yours is sexy.

I find red to be better understood than black/white, probably because of all the written corrections addressed to me by schoolteachers. It prefaces its markings with "You did this wrong. I taught you better than that."

[Viper]

So you insult me while preying on those with color-blindness? XD

[V-Man]

Being colorblind doesn't mean you can't see red. It just looks the same as one or two other colors.
I was just pointing out that red stands out to me better than plain text.

[Ronald_Reagan]

V-Man, that would make your red text turn green. Just to clarify ;)

[V-Man]

So instead of blinking, text should rapidly change from green to red and back.
Then only non-colorblind people will have seizures. :D

[Viper]

Perfect! Now everyone can have their very own health problem!

[MykeGregory]

its the banned pokemon episodes all over again!

[NightHawkd]

Lol Myke but ya i hate Flashing server names =/

[Viper]

Flashing server names! It's super effective!

*Viper fainted.

[flowtron]

The feature was a mistake; using it is frowned-upon. There's a "no-blinking" fix in SVN (v1.1.0.5) which will also be distributed as the next release (v1.1.0.6-v1.1.0 .. whatever).

[DeafieGamer]

Flowtron, using flashing is frowned on for server message and description...

But using it as feature for server script is acceptable.

[V-Man]

Depends on the script function and whether it displays blinking to people who prefer no blinking.

[al3rt]

OMG... Bugboy... your avatar reminds me of it :S
Im gettign dissy

[DeafieGamer]
