Lag Icon

Postby Xeno » Sun Jan 21, 2007 3:33 pm

Would it be possible to show the clock that you see on the screen when you lag as a lag icon above someone's head, similar to the typing icon? I don't want to change anything else (no lagkill penalties, etc), I just want to be able to see when others lag and show people when I'm lagging... this way when I or someone else gets completely screwed by unbelievably bad lag timing (e.g. you just grabbed the flag and are bunnyhopping your way to your base... lag... death), others will know it so it doesn't come off as a bullshit excuse.

The lagometer itsself is telling lies, so why? :D

No, seriously, I suffer lag problems frequently while being shown a perfect connection by the lagometer. And I myself dont want to be recognized while lagging. I promise you, it would give you exactly the oposite effort

I didn't consider people taking advantage of it... then again, I expect people to not typefrag... my faith in humanity is slowly being eroded, and it was only a pebble to begin with.

What about an echo message after the frag message that says "... but <name> was lagging"?
