Minimap Player Colors

Post by jox72 »

I am not sure if anyone have suggested this before but here's what I mean:

As you guys know, the leader will always be green on the minimap and the rest of the riders are white. My suggestion is to make colors for the rider that is in front of you and another color for the guy behind you to prevent mistakes like blockpassing a rider that is actually one lap ahead or the other way around.
I know there are blueflags and amount of time to next position but it gets kinda messy to me when there are 20 riders on a single supercrosstrack.

Example:
1st: "Rider1" (GREEN)
2nd: "Rider2" (WHITE)
3rd: "Rider3" (WHITE)
4th: "Rider4" (BLUE) <------------
5th: *"YOU"* (Red Arrow)
6th: "Rider5" (YELLOW) <-----------
7th: "Rider6" (WHITE)
8th: "Rider7" (WHITE)


I hope you get what I mean :wink:

I suggested this not so long ago..

Leader: Green
Riders in front of you: White
You: Same red arrow
Behind you: Blue

In my opinion, it doesn´t make any sense to me if the rider 2 spots behind you almost catches you, you don´t know if that´s a guy way ahead or someone behind, referring to your post ^^
But yeah, a good idea

That sounds like a good idea to have one color for riders in front and another color for those behind. I do not think it would have many negative sides so I have to give it a shot :)

I like what you did there but, I would prefer it if it was just white for the rider directly in a position ahead of you and blue for the rider directly behind you.
And then whatever colour for the rest of them.

I also like the idea,
i was also thinking that it would be good if there was some sort of command that you could type into a server where you could tag people.
For example, if there was someone who was riding like a goon you could tag them in the colour red so that you can see where they are on the track,therefore you have a bigger chance of avoiding them, or you could tag your team mates or friends so that you can see how well they are doing in a race. :D
Just a suggestion...
