Squad Plugin Thing

[Bav]

So, on a few RP servers I've been on, they had this feature where you could create up to 4 squads. You would invite who you wanted and each squad had their own color.

It also had these little circles at the feet of the squad members and a green square above the squad leaders head. 

Is there a reason we stick to the color system instead of this?

I don't have any screenshots of it but it looks similar to this:

(I apologize for how autistic the image looks but it's the best way I could visualize it)

I know exactly the one you're on about.

[Valkrae]

Oh, that looks sick.

I'd be down for that.

[Bav]

Not quite, it was more like this:

 

EDIT: Not the one I was looking for but there is a similar one to what Cipher was talking about

1. yes

 

 

 

 

let me expand 

 

it's so much easier than admins changing colors

[Faded]

If you can find that mod, I would have objections with that being on server and would personally beg Xalphox to allow it

I'd succ for this.

Having been on the SST server it was used on I can say with confidence that without some optimisation it will stack against individual FPS on mid to low tier systems. By all means try one, just relaying first hand experience. During a server population of 20+ it would drag back the game response time considerably, but on smaller scales it was fine.

this would be nectar to have

Fucking CHRIST we need it

This kind of takes away a bit of the military rp element and will make it feel more military sim. I prefer it when the squad leads just remember who is in their squad, they wouldn't see bright colours around them and I'd find very hard to be immersed in my rp if everyone was running around with these.

ICly, we've got a way to track markers that MOBCOMM can update on the fly.

It's not a far stretch of the imagination to assume that something like this is possible.

Yes but atleast that is IC, seeing colourful circles around fellow troopers can not be taken IC.

I get what you're poking at, but theres been too many instances where I've literally missed crucial drop moments because every trooper looks the same. No PAC to differentiate my squad leader, no rank patch, nothing.

If the circles being intrusive is a problem we can always find something that is more subtle.

Yeah but you're not always gonna be able to tell your troopers, thats more realistic then this idea and in a way the coloured names are noticeable enough while being subtle and its something that has worked always 

[Bav]

Bump.

Did anything come from this?
