[SM|ScoresTable.Script.txt] Requests

[steeffeen]

Hey there,

I really appreciate the work that has been put into the ScoresTable script (i know that it wasn't easy ^^)
It's very helpful and is looking nice!

there are still a few things that i would like to request:
(topics are sorted by their importance)

1. could you please make it possible to modify the displaying of the InputPlayer in the lower left corner?
it would be great if we could disable showing the avatar and the rank and show some custom text instead or something like that
it's open to you what can be displayed instead, simply hiding the avatar+rank+name would fit for me as well
maybe it could work like the default values for the other information fields and the usual stuff could be displayed there as normal if there isn't set a different default value

2. i think it has already been requested before if i'm not wrong: please add KeyPress events for PageUp and PageDown which make it possible to switch between the pages of the scorestable

3. could you please add a possiblity to modify the header text in solo mode?
currently it says "Ranking", but maybe the game mode would like to show something else instead

4. could you please make it possible to hide the maniastars? it's a nice feature but on some score table layouts isn't enough space for these many stars

5. it's really nice that we can modify the format of the round scores and i would like to see that being possible for total points as well

6. maybe there could be something like HeaderStats (a label in a corner at the top)

Thanks in advance, feedback would be appreciated

P.s. some things might not fit in a team context but at least in solo mode they would be great to have

I think that pressing PageUp or PageDown works.

7. Add the country of the players on the scoretable (next to the ladder?) to know which language to use when talking to them.

1. Done. You can hide/show the avatar, rank and name of the player in the footer. If it's hidden, you now have two labels where you can add custom text dynamically.

2. It's already done. But it works only when pressing tab to display the scores table. If you use alt, then the key presses aren't send to the manialink. :/

3. We're currently working on the scores table UI and we'll probably replace the "Ranking" text in solo mode by the name of the server. So I don't think I'll make this field customizable.

4. Done. But please don't hide them, I love ManiaStars so much. It will break my heart if a mode hide them. T-T

5. Done.

6. As said above, we're currently reworking a little the scores table layout. And I'm not sure there will be a place to add another field in the header.

7. Is it really a necessity to have this informations always displayed in the scores table? If it's just to know the nationality of a player you can take a look at his profile where you can see his country/region.

wow nice

ah yes, thanks for the hint, haven't though about that ^^

3. We're currently working on the scores table UI and we'll probably replace the "Ranking" text in solo mode by the name of the server. So I don't think I'll make this field customizable.

that means that there will be a class with information about the server? YEEAAHH

4. Done. But please don't hide them, I love ManiaStars so much. It will break my heart if a mode hide them. T-T

haha, made my day i will keep that in mind =P

5. Done.

thanks

alright, it's not that important anyways

7. Is it really a necessity to have this informations always displayed in the scores table? If it's just to know the nationality of a player you can take a look at his profile where you can see his country/region.

not necessary for me (but i'm not the one requested it of course)


thank you soooo much

(i love smileys)

Don´t forget to make it possible to hide the scoretable if a servercontroller wants to display a manialink window. This was possible in the old script versions but with the last updates this is gone. So add a xmlrpc callback listener which then hides the scoreboard. Kremsy also requested it:

Thanks

I can live without it but I think that it would be a good thing.
If it was displayed on the scoreboard:
- we could speak English as soon as we see that there are players who don't speak the local language.
- we wouldn't have to check the profile of a player to know which language to use to explain something to him.

1. another thing that would be great is a kind of filter which players will be displayed in the scoreboard
for example:

Code: Select all

All, Playing, Alive

or a specific set of logins

i know it might be difficult to implement that with the manialink script, i just hope that you have an idea

2. what would be awesome is the ability to set a different background color for specific player cards, but for that CMlQuad would need access to its background color first

[steeffeen]

i know it doesn't fit into this topic but i have a small request for the script "Chrono.Script.txt"
it would be great if we could get methods for showing and hiding the chrono, like in the other interface scripts AttachStuff() and DetachStuff()

if you feel bored there could be added possibilities for modifying the appearance of the Chrono but that's absolutely unimportant

P.s. maybe a dedicated thread for requests on nadeo library scripts would make sense ^^

[steeffeen]

i really like the new design, there is currently just one point i would like to change
the rank on the left hand side of the player cards is quite small now, i think it could need a minor increase of its size, maybe $o as well

[Eole]

I increased a little the size of the rank.
About the filters it would be cool indeed, but not the highest priority at the moment as it would take some times to get it working properly I think.

There will be two new functions in Chrono.Script.txt in the next update: Show() and Hide().
