Core - Strip colors universally across all engines, and add an option to disable

[miguelsotobaez]

Only appear colors code like ^1 ^2 in Bot but not in players.

I really like if we can see color codes in player name too.

maxplayers: '32',
players: [ { frags: 0, ping: 23, name: "»A'den Skirata«" } ],
bots: [ { frags: 0, ping: 0, name: '^0SL^1.^0DrachaT' } ],

Seems unlikely if the protocol isn't returning it already. Strange that it's showing for bots only. If you run the query with debug: true, does the response data contain any of the color codes? If not, there's not much we can do about it.

@mmorrisontx I found the issue, the problem is in the file quake3.js in protocols folder.

There is a string replace with some regexp to delete color format before the results.

I think I'm going to fork this repository and working for a fix. Maybe some parameter to allow or disallow color formats.
Or Maybe there's another better and clean solution for this.

I'm working on this because I'm working on a Ranking ELO Site for Jedi Academy based on Q3 Engine https://skirata.pro/#/japlus

Ah, I didn't realize this was one of the protocols where we strip color codes. Seems like a bug that we treat players and bots differently :)

This seems something specific to Quake and has no other issues around this subject. Also, removing colors extra char from the object seems the correct approach. I guess this is safe to close.
