SpawnAppearance Types

I was digging through and playing with the SpawnAppearance types and noticed that some of them seem to be missing (shocker, right?). I am curious, what options are available for me to pull these? One of them (which I posted about earlier) is AT_NPCName, which is called by the /becomenpc GM command. It changes the PC's name to the NPC color, but also appends "Trader" to the PC's name.

The main SpawnAppearance Type that I am looking for though is which value changes the color of a player's names to the old PVP teams colors (Purple, Yellow, and Orange). I have used the in-game #appearance command to try everything I could think of, but it seems to be an exercise on futility.

Has anyone else already crossed this bridge, or know of anyone that has solved this little enigma? Any advice? Am I looking for El Dorado?

Thanks,
Dax

I actually just found one... amazingly enough, and I swear that I had tested it before, but here it is (I'll rewrite/submit the /becomenpc code to reflect the change shortly):

the AT_NPCName SpawnAppearance shows Trader in front of the PC's name, and changes the PC's name color to the NPC name color (mode when handed a value of 1 (#appearance 31 1) (which is currently what /becomenpc is using), but when handed a value of 2 (#appearance 31 2), it drops the "Trader" from the PC name, and just changes the name color to NPC.

Hopefully I'll find something on the pvp name colors too!
