Community Requests on Nadeo Library Scripts

[steeffeen]

About this Thread:
There are already some nice library scripts offered by Nadeo which are very helpful for all the mode authors in the ManiaPlanet.
Nevertheless there could be something that is still needed or that could be improved and I'm annoyed by opening up a new thread for each little change. So here is the place to request or suggest such things in one place which will also help keeping track of ideas and suggestions by the community.

First Requests:

• ScoresTable/Top2.Script.txt: Possibility of modifying the TabKey
• ScoresTable.Script.txt: Increase of the size of team names in a team context
• WeaponSelection.Script.txt: Possibility for defining which weapons can be chosen
• ModeBase.Script.txt: MB_PlayersPresentationSequence() variant with a parameter for the duration
• ModeBase.Script.txt: Useful inclusion of NeutralEmblemUrl

Keep in mind that this thread isn't about changes in the API itself but only about changes of the existing scripts inside "Libs/Nadeo/".

Thanks to Nadeo for the help!

Regards,
Steff

in Libs/Nadeo/Top2.Script.txt it would be cool if you would be able to create several top tabs
so it's necessary that you can give the top tab name (currently there is the name "TopTab" used hardcoded and several top tabs would be displayed simultaneously

More elastic WeaponSelection version. Scripter can choose what weapons can player select.

[steeffeen]

include the use of NeutralEmblemUrl in the ModeBase script
(currently there is MB_NeutralEmblemUrl somewhere but it isn't used)

thanks for the update of the modebase and the scorestable scripts
good job there!

just one thing:
the scores rectangle for unspawned status is overlaying the rank of the player
normal: http://www.pictures.esc-clan.net/upload ... Shot01.jpg
unspawned: http://www.pictures.esc-clan.net/upload ... Shot02.jpg

you can see small white dots showing the edge of the rank text ^.^

a fix would be great, thanks in advance

I updated the scores table, the unspawn rectangle correctly overlay the ranks now.
One question about this point:

• ScoresTable.Script.txt: Increase of the size of team names in a team context

Was this fixed by the latest update? If not could you explain what's the problem exactly?

And for:

• WeaponSelection.Script.txt: Possibility for defining which weapons can be chosen
• ScoresTable/Top2.Script.txt: Possibility of modifying the TabKey

They're low on the priority list. Maybe one day ...

uhm i thought that it shouldn't overlay the rank at all

• ScoresTable.Script.txt: Increase of the size of team names in a team context

Was this fixed by the latest update? If not could you explain what's the problem exactly?

well it's kind of okay, i fear there just isn't much space left ^.^

Interface.Script.txt - Add New function, CreatePlayersListsWithoutHeader(); or WithoutTeamNames where only players lists will be created.

Please Add more info about Achievements Lib functions

Add Players order on WarmUpSimple Lib

it's probably not related to the script directly but in the scoretable built with the scorestable script bots (fake players) are always shown as offline
