Is there a way to disable team colors for a specific map? Preferably a var?

I know about game.teamcolors = 0 but that's not going to work, the solution needs to always affect all players on a map.

You can look up all the vars by downloading the DLL source code and looking in the /network/vars.txt file -- I believe the team color var is listed there.

Didn't see anything about team colors... Oh well, that was just the easy way, and the easy way never seems to work anyway.

Could give you a code-snipped to put into a custom dll, and matching UI-tweaks, so mappers can leave behind their 'handpicked colors' for players to choose from.
Let me know if want to take that route.

Is it possible with the next patch to include a team color option button? Or perhaps customizable colors?

team colors are fully customisable via Localprefs.ini.
This will set colors per server.
I am not aware of any way you can set these per map. Custom dll possibly.

// And, for teamplay (i.e. team strat or MPI) games, the teamcolors.
// TeamA is used for teams 1..5, and TeamB is for teams 6..10
TeamColorTeamA = "202 189 132 255" // gold
TeamColorTeamB = "154 177 214 255" // blue

// Teamcolors for MP games. 0 means off, 1 is team colors on,
// individual teams, 2 is team colors on, teamplay colors (teams 1-5
// the same, 6-10 the same). Use -1 for default (BZ2 1.0-1.2 behavior,
// which is 0 in SP, 1 or 2 in MP). Invalid values treated as -1
TeamplayColors = -1

// If this is true, the Free For All (i.e. non-teamplay) colors will

// variety in their use. If false, the 1.0-1.2 teamcolor list is used.
