Implement the possibility to change sparks color ?

[INFUSCOMUS]

Here is an idea that apparently has already been discussed but I found no polls nor good thread with it.

Lots of people are asking for gibs and blood as an option, and it's very much sure that this will never be implemented because SyncError said they got rid of blood/gibs to reach a larger audience and focus on spreading Quake as a "sport" that can be broadcasted in as many countries as possible (as far aas I understood).

But we have sparks in Quake Live to replace gibs.

The idea here would be to implement a cvar that allows the player to change the color of sparks to whatever they want : red, blue, green, with the same system we can change the enemy color.

This way, everybody would be happy.

I know it's not a priority, lots of more important things have to be done first and all, but speak your mind about that possible feature.

ok, i personally want sparks hit in green like the enemycolor i use ^^

Red sparks so it looks like blood splats are back.

Obviously you didn't think of all the possibilities.


Colored sparks would be neat. Have green, blue, red, white, etc

Maybe even enemy and team spark colors.

I support this idea. I would like to use white sparks.

I think sparks are already white, but whatever you want ^^.

Although unimportant, it's a feature that will add to the game.

Yes, team colored sparks. Would be nice for all the weapon effects actually. Shafts, rockets, plasma and bullet impacts.
