I've made it so the dialog triggers can expand macro strings and added a new macro for displaying binds: $bind(command), so if you had something like "Press $bind(tossgren) to throw a grenade", and tossgren was bound to X, it would display "Press X to throw a grenade." They also support translations so people can translate the tutorial map to other languages.

But what if there are more keys binded to one command? Or if i use some advanced system that for example is able to switch between bouncing toss and normal one? I still like this idea, but it might generate many problems, and won't be perfect.
As for translating i can translate to ~~Polaks language~~ Polish.

People who already use advanced settings / binds definitely won't play a tutorial map, so I see no problem there.

Sounds really good and interesting.
If there are two or more keys for a command, it should show "Press X or Y or... to throw a grenade.". The movement commands are twice in the default config for example. I see no problems for advanced configs. The dialog is in the map file, so a mapper should only use commands that each player normally have.
Is there a default text or nothing, if no key was found?
Is there a distinction between the commands "+scores" and "scores"?
How does the translation work? Will it use the cl_language setting (If yes, we need to add it to the menu somewhere)?

It would be great, if we also had something for the playername, teamcolor and map name (worldspawn -> message). So we can make dialogs like this: "Welcome $playername ! You play the map '$mapname' in the $teamcolor team.".

Well, I've obviously released build 36 and a texture pack. There have been over 2500 downloads of build 36 so far. I'm looking at quick little improvements I can do for build 37 so maybe I can do a release in less than 6 months this time. Join the discussion about that over here: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=25299

I've already knocked out several things:
- Optimized entity searching in game code to improve server performance. 10:34 PM 9/18/2012
- Added an epsilon check to flag returns to hopefully fix the multi-flag-return bug when the flag is just slightly off from the base. 11:59 PM 9/18/2012
- Don't kick people into observer for idling in the tutorial map. 12:02 AM 9/19/2012
- Killed players velocity when he hits a tutorial dialog on the tutorial map so people are less likely to trigger multiple dialogs. 12:16 AM 9/19/2012
- Made it so people can't wave while moving, instead of stopping players when they move. 11:25 PM 9/25/2012
- Fixed a bug with bad a team/skin index when switching to observer and suiciding with grenades. 11:57 PM 9/25/2012
- Fixed people being able to suicide with grenades and kill (former) teammates. 12:55 AM 9/26/2012
- Changed sv_minclientbuild kick message to "You need build XX or higher. http://www.digitalpaint.org/" Unfortunately it's limited to 64 characters so I couldn't get more than that. 8:19 PM 9/26/2012

I'm replacing the dialog boxes on the tutorial (and in some other instances of the game) with a popup system that should be less annoying. Little information windows appear on the upper right side of the HUD and fade away after a few seconds. I'm going to make it so if you're standing in an information area of the tutorial map, the information box will stay up.

jitspoe · « **Reply #659 on:** October 08, 2012, 11:52:30 PM »

Well, I think the popup system is just about done (screenshot posted here http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=24135.msg228049#msg228049). Next is streamlining the account creation/login process for new users. I may see about embedding demo replay snippets into the tutorial map, but I'm not sure how big of a task that's going to be.
