Flyingdutchman Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know if it's possible to see name tags of players while in spectator mode? Just like when spectating as a shoutcaster, you can see the names of players over their heads. We are looking for a way to implement this on our server so that SPECTATORS can see names over the players playing (w/o having to be made a shoutcaster). Thanks in advance! -FDM Edited October 18, 2015 by Flyingdutchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sageone Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Great suggestion. It would be nice to have spectators automatically pickup shoucaster features without being shoutcaster. I myself am resorting to shrubbot for this. I had to make a logout command otherwise I cannot join a team as shoutcaster. If anybody has a better way of implementing this please let me know. [command]command = shoutexec = makeshoutcaster desc = syntax =levels = [command]command = shoutoutexec = sclogout desc = syntax =levels = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sageone Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks. This just auto fixes the shoutcaster to limbo-team switching? I still keep the [command] syntax in shrub?btw do you always post at 4:20 EST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks. This just auto fixes the shoutcaster to limbo-team switching? I still keep the [command] syntax in shrub?btw do you always post at 4:20 EST?This is based off level so admins with minimum of level of " local ADMIN_LEVEL = 10 " will automatically be shoutcaster on the server but once you join a team limbo or not should allow you to join without having to log your self out. IIRC limbo just sends commands like you would do with binds e.g team r 4 3 ps to adapt to your admin levels just change the number in the lua script.

Zelly Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yeah you do not need the commands, but it does not hurt to have them. And at the time thing, I looked at my posts and only found 1 other one, so I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sageone Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just wanted to give some feedback on that lua. It works but has its quirks such as team stacking or even trying !putteam player allies/axis. Not something anybody notices until we're testing maps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingdutchman Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 We have noticed that it makes issue of quick team switching. You must go spec, then join the other team: otherwise you get the message "Shoutcasters may not join a team" - other than that, it is very useful to spectators to know who's who: and makes for better spectating.FYI: We're having an event on our server Friday (all day) - come by and say hello.More info here:http://forum.splatterladder.com/index.php?showtopic=15467&st=0&p=85343&&do=findComment&comment=85343-FDM alex and sageone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
