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.

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.

Personally, I like it, I just can't see it. :)
