Labels for observers

Post by Scaramush »

Subject. On my opinion it will useful and comfortable if obs. also will can put labels(ofc they will be visiblely only for others observers). Can the developers do it? Ofc firstly in development. What do you think about it?

What if a player label and an observer label are in the same tile?
It pronounces Sha'ha, not Zara.

That would be just like currently team label and public label in same tile. However no idea how that is dealt with.


While there are some ways to specifically filter observers, as far as I know, observer labels are not possible currently. Moved to Ideas.

How would you make the user-Interface for this?
Personally I would prefer 3 different submit-buttons rather than a checkbox and 2 (soon 3?) menu entries.

Further ideas about labels:
  • Something has to be done to the colour of labels too - sometimes they are hardly visible.
  • Also there should to be a minimum time before they can be clicked away. Nothing is more annoying than one pressing the key-combo for clear-labels every second or a split-second after you wrote it.
  • Animated labels (animated until you actively move your mouse over it) can help to notice not obvious labels.
  • Clearing a single label (without clearing the whole map) would also be a nice addition.

- I fooled a bit around ingame months ago, and some HTML tags worked for team labels, but not for labels (undocumented feature?)
- you have never been label spammed :)
- a.a
- clearing a single label is a bit clumsy as of now, yes
