What sort of tags would you like?

a) ^RRed text (Modern warfare system)

Actually, that's from Quake. I don't know if it was originally in Doom or not, but Quake definitely did it before CoD.

And I would much prefer the original setup:

^1 = Red
^2 = Green
^3 = Red
^4 = Blue
^5 = Cyan
^6 = Pink
^7 = White
^8 = Black

Black wasn't enabled on all servers or in all Quake mods.

If I implemented something like this I think I'd lean toward the [r] style tags with optional closing braces. Maybe [134,2,5] if you wanted to specify exact color.

Thought it may already be implimented, I'm still all for turning off the color with an option
My contrast issues still make it hard for me to see half of the ULX notices that appear. :P
Make a client side override switch for other servers I join that run ULX with color capability too

I've got it written down in my list JamminR. I need to overhaul the whole tsay system really. The colors for player actions was implemented as a prototype more than anything else and worked well enough that I've just left it in place for this long.

Understood. Some seem to like it, and some seem not to.
Personally, I like it, I just can't see it. :)
