Speedometer

well, the Phreak post has given me an idea... :

i would really appreciate a speed display in the HUD (not only the speed command that tells the speed when hiting the ground but one that works everytime).

Would it be hard to implement ?

No, but it can only be done as centerprint like the kill messages or by spamming in the message area. Making it part of the HUD isn't possible without engine changes atm, and i have no clue how to do that or if it would also need network protocol changes.

If you really want to know your speed you can do (on you own server) set developer 1; set speedmeter 1 it will spam your console with your current speed when ever you land (touch the ground) but its no real replacement.. Mostly useful for testing.

This brings me to the idea - to prevent spamming - to implement it in a death-message:
"Zico was killed when he hit the ground with 70MPH/KMH" or whatever. that would be a nice thing to grin about :)

oh :) and creating like another centertime area in the top left corner, without any sound associated to it and that is 1 line height ? would it be the same as modifying the HUD ?

sry if i ask stupid questions i haven't any idea about how the code works...
