Rank/Chat Color Adjustments

Deinen

I noticed the [supermod] thing in supershot's pic about how smods can avoid filters, and it reminded me to ask: why CAN smods avoid filters? what purpose does it serve, other than allowing Castroifyer to make sex refs while he bans other people for sex refs?

Yes, that is why. It's because we're awesome and we don't need rules, and we all get to spawn in 3 double chests of gold blocks. We don't even need to follow rules, want to see our rules?

It took a while, but I recreated what the chatlog formats would look like for each rank since the forums colored chat unfortunately just doesn't properly match what it looks like in the game. The following is what each standard player rank would look like:
In an extremely odd regular day, this is what the chatlog might look like if I was on a political rampage:
Based off of the suggested chat, my personal suggestions are:
Change the "official meeper" messages to gray - they clutter the chatlog with yellow and make it harder to read the yellow staff member chat.
Highlight the ClearLag warnings of some sort. Changing the "Warning" label or the number of seconds left to red/dark_red would help players to see this message and avoid dropping items, even if the red color was only on the 20 seconds warning.
Change the standard Meep-Shouts to gray. This will further reduce the clutter of yellow in the chatlog which will make staff member messages much more noticeable; this will be especially necessary if Mod chat will be changed to yellow.
Use the first color method. In my opinion, a yellow rank tag combined with a yellow chatlog text color simply doesn't look well combined.
If said suggestions were to be applied, the chatlog would look like this:

That was really helpful to see, and those are great suggestions. :) Only thing I notice now is that Ultimate text blends in with the server names... which isn't really an issue when it's a SuperMod color, but could lead to a sea of cyan as a player color, lol.

Self burn! :confused:

idk It just doesn't seem right. I think the colors should stay the same, the only one that needs to be changed is the Pink Architect one.

Ahh the thing is Super forgot to put the indentations in so you could see it reflect it properly.

Imo the gray chat for the announcements looks better than i thought

I like it. Even though I'm not a rank, I like how the Ultimate chat colour is vibrant. I mean, they paid a lot of money for the rank and its only fair to give them a vibrant colour.

Mildly irrelevant follow up to a mildly irrelevant post.
Anyways.
I like supershots suggestion except for Mod/Helper. They should not be the same color. I'm not sure what Colors and available other than the ones up there but they should not be the same, at least the tag should not be the same. Maybe have MOD as yellow.

Just to settle a bit of confusion in the thread, these are the 16 usable colors in Minecraft:

No other colors can be used, unfortunately, not even different shades of the color. :(

Fun fact that's as boring as all the other fun facts, though; these are the exact same 16 colors usable in Command Prompt, which is probably why it does not deviate from said colors in any way.

You do realize you just proved me right

Yup, your right. You've found out our secret plan. We've been planning this for 14 months and you foiled our plan. It is true, we are the illuminati, and for every 5 meebles you make, we take .05 and invest it in further world domination.

I think it would help, I the colors we have currently NEED to change.

They don't need to but it's be cool. A total rearrangement could be interesting if it has a theme to it

[EDIT 1] Edited as to make the multi-line player text indented as it normally is on Meepcraft (when it works) :p
~ @Supershot1200

This is actually a pretty good example, good job here...

+1 to this chat.

I was really excited about ult, except for the orange color. And once I got ult, I hated it even more. I know that many people refused to donate to ult because the orange color wasn't that great. And really, this is a problem easily avoided. Supreme's purple is a really awesome color and lots of people really enjoy the purple.
Everyone likes the purple. Nowhere near as many like orange.
We need a change. While it may take time to get used to it, it's for the better.

color for elite's pls!

Muunkee

color for elite's pls!
~ @boyishredstrike

Why?
elite has so many perks already.
The colored chats for sup and ult are one of their rank's biggest perks.Why take that away?

boyishredstrike

elite's don't

get that much

Muunkee

elite's don't

~ @boyishredstrike

Spawners, /nv, and /fix are huge bonuses.
As well as 10 homes, another /chest row, and /hat.
Elites get the most in terms of perks and don't need any more, really.

boyishredstrike

/nv is down, and chat color dose not benefit you as a perk

btw like your marker thing

Muunkee

/nv is down,
~ @boyishredstrike

Still a major perk, it'll be fixed eventually, you still 'have' it.

~ @boyishredstrike

You'd be surprised how much more noticed you are. And it changes a lot, really. It's aesthetically pleasing. It is a perk... I don't know how something can't benefit as a perk, when it is a perk....

You're still not understanding the point - elites to not need any more perks. Supreme and ult do.
Supreme and ult deserve a lot more love for their price.

If Ult had purple, i'd probably get it:P but I'm happy with supreme as it is.

I think exclusive is the biggest step up, with regards to money spent. Supreme really doesn't get a long of bang for your buck, but it's worth it to help the server.
