I dont think this wouls be very hard to do: Change the color of poison packs to blue, and the color of diseaae packs to green or gold. Quite a few times Im in a group running 10k+ missions and will need to quickly drag a new ranged pack into the Fkey que, and accidentally grab a disease...or I have my inventory minimized to small icons and accidentally try to poison someone instead of healing their action or health wounds. =P
I just figure it would be an easy change that would make life a little easier for CM's. Anyone else like this idea? Sign if you like - it may get someones attention, because its easy and wouldnt really change the balance of the class itself in any way.

there is already an in-game way to do that

\#FFFF00\ item name

The colors are in hex code like HTML, the one above is for yellow.

#FF0000=red
#00FF00=green
#0000FF=blue
#00FFFF=cyan
#FF00FF=magenta
#FFFF00=yellow
#7F7F7F=dark grey
#C0C0C0=grey
#FFFFFF=white
#000000=black

the link is to a site that has more colors and the hex number of them.

He means change the color of the icon, which I think is a GREAT idea. Each one looks too much like the others and the look almost exactly like wound packs, too. The graphics should be diferrent so we can know with just a quick glance what we are looking at.

Anyone else like or dislike this idea? (BUMP)

it should be on the new CM issues list, if not i will tack it on

Great idea.

Should be simple also.

Thanks Kavedawg! Its good to have a corrospondant that gives input and takes action! (Like a true CM!)

I wouldnt mind having more generic macros also, IE applypoison health, mind action, etc. I wrote some macros to do it, but it fills up alot of space on my hotkey bars.

/agree

Good idea.

Another idea would be to change the shape of the canisters to distinguish Disease from Poison and to color code them acording to th HAM color codes, i.e. Healthe=Red, Action=Green, Mind=Blue. This would make it easier, especially in the heat of battle.

Was this added to the proposed ideas? Any response?
