Led messages are the (usually two) colored bubbles/boxes indicating what type of message you are about to read. I've specced a lot of 4on4's lately and some people don't have these anymore.

Should they be removed from ezQuake's built-in teamsays?

I use marshalls team cfg and actively give feedback on it. I love it.

Should be easy enough to make a switch that enables/disables LED's in the builtins?

While on that note, maybe you should add a variable that determines whether colored text should be used also, since there are still people that you play with that use other clients?

I've recently rewritten a tpcfg for use at Ballistic and found leds to be quite unnecessary. Our cfg is quite a bit more bloated though, it weighs in at 400 lines with no binds or server aliases :F

Don't remember what cfg I used as base, but there's not much of that left. I doubt I'll share the cfg any time soon, would require too much cleanin :p

Could you pastebin it pls?

If it is harcoded in ezQ, ya it should be something like %b for bubble so I could
say_team " %b%b I am at %l %b%b"

I think what he's asking about are the built-in messages, tp_msgneed, tp_msgsafe, etc. But one could add a switch, something like tp_msg_usecoloredtext 0/1, and tp_msg_uselits 0/1. And then tp_msgsafe would be dependant on variables that are set externally. For example,

if(tp_msg_uselits) {
$greenlits = "%g%g";
$bluelits = "%b%b";
.
.
} else {
$greenlits = "";
$bluelits = "";
}

if(tp_msg_usecoloredtext) {
$safe = "whatever_green_colored_text_code_is";
} else {
$safe = "safe";
}

and finally;

tp_msgsafe = say_team $greenlits $nick %l $safe - %w";

Or something like that. Would take up a bit more coding space, sure, but would give everyone the option of quickly turning off their coloredtext/lits if they were playing with someone who couldn't see them (thus rendering your teamsays useless).

PS. I've been coding PHP the last couple of days, so excuse the faulty syntaxes

Im sure marshalls "#
alias se1 "connect qw.speciall.org:27500" don't work...

Since it's qw.speciell.org"

And you should make ezquake teambinds easily reconfigured also?

I think he means he wants the binds easy to change, such as a cvar to toggle LEDs or colors.
