Nice feature

[Sniperiid]

Hey all,

I have got a pretty nice feature. When a player is dead and chats it says:

*DEAD*someplayer: somemessage

If not dead, says:
someplayer: somemessage

To be able to do this you must get the newest CVS or in ePlayer.cpp, function se_DisplayChatLocallyClient replace what is in there with:

Code: Select all

if( p->Object() && p->Object()->Alive() )
{
   cout << message << "\n";
}
   else
{
   cout << tOutput("$console_dead_player_prefix") << message << "\n";
}

This is tested only with Armagetron Advanced 0.2.8.0_rc3
Add in your english_base.txt on the last line ( on FC4 can be found at /usr/local/share/games/armagetronad/language/ ) this:

console_dead_player_prefix 0xff0000*DEAD*

Have fun!

This works fine in the CVS version, although I still have to find a use for it myself.

For some reson it doesn't seem to work with team messages you send yourself, maybe they get generated lokally and not sent back by the server.

Heh, not sure that's a big problem. YOu should know if you're dead.
