Not if we add some decent formatting options to our strings, like for example smart tabs. Plus, it's definitely the most flexible way when it comes to server side modifications.

maybe we should start depending on webkit and use HTML for the scoreboard

Webkit is *huge*.

Well, if none of you have noticed, I'm making some pretty sweet progress on my first function: MATCH_START_PVP. With some testing help from PinkTomato and kyle I was able to get all of it working.

Regarding the scoreboard and FIRST_TO_WIN stuff, I was thinking that I would just have the server keep track of it and at the beginning of every round it would just do a console message of the score. For example:

PVP-Score: 3-1 - (player1, player2)

Then I wouldn't have to deal with client/server problems and whatever.

Or the server could rename the teams appropriately, then it would be visible all of the time. Just a thought. It is, of course, a hack.

That's what i was doing when I was hosting organized matches on my server, albeit manually.

So would it be possible to edit the code so that core dumps and shot don't get added to the team score and matches do? Or would that be too hard...?

Possible and not hard at all. Just disable the automatic adding of player score events to the team score.

Hi again... another status update:

I've made some exciting progress! Both MATCH_START_PVP and MATCH_START_WAR and working. There isn't a score count working yet but team renames and player team delegations are working nicely.

I'm really excited to see how this turns out. Once I get the score count working I'll be deploying this on ~Night Walker's Central~ CTFS~.

Also, I'd like to thank z-man for helping me whether he thinks I'm annoying or not.
