waldi Report post Posted September 16, 2004 im just working on a pk-list patch... it currently has 2 console commands: #pk_set <name> ally|enemy|neutral #pk_list ally|enemy enemies get their name displayed in red, allies green im planning to add guilds too...but im not shure how this syntax should look... 1. any ideas for the guild syntax ? 2. would such a patch be accepted (maybe it should be on the server-side with the buddy list) ? 3. any other ideas ?

Platyna Report post Posted September 16, 2004 Not bad idea but IMHO setting neutral flag is dumb people by default are neutral unless you are a meanie.;-) Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Platyna Report post Posted September 16, 2004 It is not useless Cicero. It is good when there are alot of people on KF and you want easly find a person and not missclick. When one idiot killed me KF when I was training without armor or weapon and I got back from hell, grabbed stuff from storage (it was fastest trip from Hell to VOTD which you could ever see) entered KF, there were like 20 people crowded around and I almost missclicked a friend. ;D Regards.

Cicero Report post Posted September 16, 2004 If you can't remember who your friends and enemies are, you've got more problems. Might I suggest a pad of sticky notes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if you haven't noticed that picking a particular person in crowd is difficould. I suggest to appear more offten in VOTD. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duran Report post Posted September 16, 2004 heh, this is starting to become a bit like the linux kernel personaly i would love to have this feature but then as part of the buddy list (that we currently have a window for but no content)... this just the same problem that the quickbar patch thats in the rejected part of the dev site. to have it work nicely there was some serverside support missing...

Entropy Report post Posted September 17, 2004 Unless there is some technical problem, I guess we should add this patch. Some people might find it usefull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platyna Report post Posted September 17, 2004 If I can say something: I like every patch, if I can turn on/off its effect in the config file or just don't use some feature. If someone don't like PK list he can just not set flags for players and he can forget that something like that exists. It is good if people has alot options to choose. Regards.

Keknehv Report post Posted September 17, 2004 Exactly. There's no real reason to exclude this; the main reason is because it would be 'useless'. Feature-rich is better than feature-few. Sorta like bash . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted September 18, 2004 from what i understand patyna, all people will be set as neutral unless you tell the system otherwise. so if you just igonre the feature then it never is there as for the guild thing, are guild tags sendt as a seperate message or are they tagged to the name before the string is sent to the client? and if its the latter cant one filter the string to look for the guild tag? i know its cumbersome but its just a thought...

Wytter Report post Posted September 18, 2004 The of the actor is found in actors_list->actor_name. It contains both the name and the guild-tag like this: [name][space][color_code][guild_tag] It's quite easy to get the guild-tag - move to the color code and grab the next 4 letters or untill \0 is reached.

Platyna Report post Posted September 18, 2004 Isn't it how Antiroot made his colored patch? It colorize SegV tag only, FIXME if I am wrong. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McMantis Report post Posted September 18, 2004 This patch is definately not useless for people like me. If someone in guild tells me to add someone to my pk list I just try to remember the name and usually that doesn't work... Great idea waldi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
