For those who do not know about this, here is another thing I used to do back in the day.
I will explain how to do this manually then I will provide a link to a program that makes it easy.
Open up this path on your computer.
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings\Profiles
You will see, Custom, Default, etc. Folders, click on the one that you wish to edit.
For Example : My profile for F.U.q.e.r is the default so I would open that folder.
Once you open the folder you will see a BuddyList.con file. Right click and choose Open with and select Notepad.
If you have no buddies added, then there won't be a Buddylist.con file. You will need to go on the server and add someone as a buddy or just copy what I paste and edit it.
You will see a line of code like this.. This is what it looks like when for the default green color.
game.addPlayerToBuddyListByName " + f®e§h-ßlood + " 000.0 255.0 000.0
" 000.0 255.0 000.0 is the RGB for the default color green ( 0,255,0)
If I want to make this buddy an orange color instead of green.
I would go to this site http://rgbchart.com/
Pick out the color of orange I want and find the RGB value which in this case will be 255,102,0
So I would then replace the 000.0 255.0 000.0 which is an RGB of 0,255,0
with the orange RGB which is 255,102,0 but it needs to be in the same format so it would look like this
255.0 102.0 000.0. ( Each number has 4 digits )
The final line to make this buddy orange would look like this
game.addPlayerToBuddyListByName " + f®e§h-ßlood + " 255.0 102.0 000.0
You can make each buddy a different color, or if your in a clan you can make one division a certain color. It makes it easy to know who is who and where they are at.
I would advise against some colors that are too bright or too dark, it makes it hard to read their chat.
There is also an old program that I used that made it very easy to do, but it won't work unless you have the right NET.Framewrok installed on your OS, which I no longer have so this program doesn't work for me right now but I have used it in the past.
Download it here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?nz76hjt5cv61va3
NOTES:
You will have to readd your buddies from time to time like you have to normally for some reason.
So when you are done I would suggest just making a backup of your BuddyList.con file and when it needs redone, just replace it.
Don't forget to Save the BuddyList.con file when your done.
The Forum would not allow me to put two spaces in a row so in your BuddyList.con file the number 0 will have two spaces then 0.0 instead of how I have it listed above as 000.0
I have uploaded a BuddyList.con file so you can see what it looks like.
The first buddy in the file is green and the 2nd one is orange.

I have some screenshots listed on Xfire if you want to see what it looks like.
If you have any questions, please ask.
