Title: Tweak: Format the output from the names / players command
Post by: T3RR0R15T on November 05, 2010, 11:16:14 AM
Format the output from the names / players command.

Now:
Code: [Select]
[22:32:56]  0 ] * newbie(4) (b30)
[22:32:56]  1 (5)] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T (b30)
[22:32:56]  6 ] * newbie986563424 (b30)

Better:
Code: [Select]
[22:32:56]  0 ] * newbie(4)  (Build 30)
[22:32:56]  1 ] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T (Build 30; PlayerID: 5)
[22:32:56]  6 ] * newbie986563424 (Build 30)

Even better:
Code: [Select]
[22:32:56]  0 ] * newbie(4) (Build 30)
[22:32:56]  1 ] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T (Build 30; PlayerID: 5; Names registered: t3rr0r15t, terrorist, rabe, ralf, tryout, onlythebest, clan, boy, girl, rabe85)
[22:32:56]  6 ] * newbie986563424 (Build 30)

Not a bad a idea, but kinda useless, disagree with gama's idea.

The idea is not bad, gama. But it could be confusing, if it goes into the next row by almost each player. Than its better to have an own command to see the players profile. Something like "playerinfo <playerid>". Wasn't there a feature vote for such a playerinfo or claninfo command?

Yes, there was, thus I proposed this to kind of 'remember' that feature.

This doesn't have anything to do with sorting.  I think you mean "format".  The problem with adding all those extra spaces, spelling out words, etc, is that you use nearly twice as much bandwidth.  This has a high probability of causing overflows if there are a number of players on the server (much like the maplist overflow issue).

Code: [Select]
[22:32:56]  0 ] * newbie(4)
[22:32:56]  1 ] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T      (ID 5)
[22:32:56]  6 ] * newbie986563424

Maybe like this and a extra command like

!playerinfos 5

Code: [Select]
[22:32:56]  1 ] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T (Build 30; PlayerID: 5; Names registered: t3rr0r15t, terrorist, rabe, ralf, tryout, onlythebest, clan, boy, girl, rabe85)

Can't it be done client-side, after data is received?

I've changed "sort" to "format" in the title of this thread. That's better, right.


To format it on the client side would help and save a little bit bandwidth.

Now, 29 characters: 1 (5)] * [OTB]T3RR0R15T (b30)
New, 23 characters: 1,5,*,[OTB]T3RR0R15T,30

We only need to make sure that a "," (or whatever character will be used to seperate it) in the playername doesn't interrupt the string.

I think that kind of thing should be integrated into the scoreboard with a context menu (right click on a player's name, view profile, or something like that).  I think there was a feature vote for context menus on the score board.
