[suggestions] - HUD, ban logs, enemy model
1. HUD
Add block for the joined message, like 'Player joined Team' (red, blue, spectators, game). It makes sense because Fragged message already exists, so one can tweak FragMessage perfectly, then all of the sudden Joined message will pop in it's default format. Joined message can't even be removed without removing Fragged message since cg_centertime value overrides Time variable inside FragMessage block.
So in short i would suggest JoinedMessage block for the HUD.
2. Ban Logs
Currently bans are added in the format:
// Time - Date, Country, Country Code Name { "Player" { Reason: "Reason" } } IP { "IP address" { Reason: "Reason" } } Guid { "Player's GUID" { Reason: "Reason" } }
I would suggest to add data with who triggered the ban inside the bans.txt, in the format you find the most convenient. For example to add in the 2nd line something like:
// Banned by AdminNick, AdminCC, AdminIP
This would make server management easier and more transparent.
3. Enemy Model
Separate model from the sound, by adding additional enemy sound variable. I've seen this in one older mod (spiterbot) and it can be quite interesting and helpful. In practice it would be like, for example:
xp_enemyColors "2222" xp_enemyModel "tankjr/xp" xp_enemySound "sarge"
.. which will create bright green TankJR with Sarge noisy sounds, or some might prefer
xp_enemySound "keel"
etc. Since i used to play a lot with this option i can only state from personal experience how this feature can be really useful and easy to get familiar with.
In case of xp_enemySound ""
, sounds should be inhereted from the model as it is now.
Hope at least some of these ideas can be useful for the future. Cheers!
Added xp_enemySound
We should creat /xp_enemyheadmodel "keel"
Its can be cool
Added additional comment for /ref
bans.
// Time Date, Country (TLD) // by Referee: RefIP, RefCountry (RefTLD), RefName Name { "Player" { Reason: "Reason" } } IP { "IP address" { Reason: "Reason" } } Guid { "Player's GUID" { Reason: "Reason" } }
Awesome, many thanks.
