Ran a check on it via CTF4, as I think it's an ideal thing to test any CTF type mutator.

Not surprisingly, that didn't go so great.

Most CTF mutators don't handle things well when there's more than 2 teams.

So I opted for a different map edit, for standard 2 team play.

Not released yet, but already pathed by Nelsona.

I like the logo for the mutator in the upper right corner, especially as it's only there briefly and fades away fast.

Now despite the 2-teams only this game was still running under CTF4, which brings us to my next observation.

As you can see there, scoreboard shows both teams have 1 point each.

But they actually didn't:

CTF4 has each team lose a point when the other team scores a capture, so 1 team had a point and the other had a negative point.

Not a big deal, mutator runs fine for standard CTF play. This was merely interesting.

Only other things:
· My skins' talk textures aren't a uniform size, I tend to use 100x100 periodically over the standard 96x96 or 64x64 which shows much larger on the scoreboard. Can only imagine how one of my Sktroopers would look on there, as their talk textures are 256x256.

· UTDM-monsters on the map didn't show up on the scoreboard, which wasn't terribly surprising but notable as they show up on the normal scoreboard.

Well, i didnt touched the scoreboard really, my only intend was to fix the GRI Replication that never really worked properly since it came out.
BUT, since you mentioned this, i will come up with a fix for that with the next release Will take a while tho, think i got to strip out quit few from the original code and have to re-do it.

Thanks for the response

Just to be thorough, here's one with an SKtrooper on the Blue Team.

"NELSONA" has a talk texture which is 256x256... and clearly it takes up a lot of space.

I'm working on Release "H" right now
Process so far:

- Talk Textures are fixed within the Scoreboard (forced 32x32)
- Endstats in ServerInfo are extended by "Most Sacrifice - Deaths/h... Kinda Hall of Shame )
- Trying to Implement Compability for CTF 4 (will see how this goes )

[EvilGrins]

On a whim, I tested it on standard Deathmatch... but it didn't work. It's only for CTF.

Did notice this odd thing, I think:

When a game ends the scoreboard is the same as it in in-game, but about 2 seconds later some of the categories change in the 2nd column of each player's entry.

Is it supposed to do that?

[van]

Yes thats supposed to be, Categorys in the second Column change always after 2 seconds, not only at endgame.
