bf42plus and the buddy colours

Hello.
I wonder how many players actually use uuuz' feature: the buddy colours.

Do you make use of the buddy colours coming with bf42plus?

1. I do, it's awesome!
2. I do, but i'm not sure how to config it.
3. I do, but i don't have any buddies.
4. I don't care.

Re: bf42plus and the buddy colours

By the way, making uuuz colours available with bf42plus is done within a few minutes.

Download the dsound.dll from uuuz' github.com, copy it into your main BF42 folder.
On starting the game the dsound.dll will create the bf42plus.con.
Press your add buddy button several times to cycle through 4 colours, the default lime,
then dodgerblue, yellow, and blueviolet.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Buddies in lime only appear in the buddylist.con (...\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Custom),
but i don't see much reason in editing this. Buddies in custom colours will be found in the bf42plus.con,
which can be edited easily.
Here's an excerpt from my bf42plus.con:

[buddycolors]
Blindschuetz = #c6a664
Elon Musk = olive
Chibi = #888800
Bugs-Sharpe = peachpuff
BabyIsDead = peachpuff
Ruff n Tumble = darkkhaki
Arwen = lightpink
lop|Zagros = darkkhaki
Pope, his holyness the = #d2b773

Note,
while i prefer editing the colours of my buddies after a gaming session in quiet, it also can be done quickly via console:
plus.buddycolor "-=TL=- Xberg" pink
plus.buddycolor Cpt.Karwsz #FAFAD2
