    It would be amazing if the alienFX colourscheme changed to match your Team Fortress 2 side, ie. it would change to blue or red depending on your team. I have no skills whatsoever in this department, but if I did, I would try and make it happen! Then it'd be impossible to forget what team I'm on :eek:

    So if any amazing coders have time on their hands, hint hint ;)

    I have never played do you switch sides randomly or what? This is a very good idea , probably a pretty big project (i would imagine) though.

    Yep every round you switch from blue to red, this is crying out for a script :)

    edit: and if you've never played, you should! It plays really well on my m11x r2, and the game is so much fun.

    Only way for this to happen is for Valve to add-in/support AlienFX. It has to be a part of the game's source code...
