CTF flag status icons

[Cinquero]

We definitely need two icons displaying the statuses of the two flags... whether they are at home, "in transit" or dropped.

[dfkgmasdfnasodrg]

yes that would be nice

Sounds for flag status is on the todo list for sounds to be made


like:
"the enemy got your flag"
"you got the enemy flag"
"your flag returned" and so on.

You already have sounds for flag pickup if i remember correctly. The others have to be added. But most (all?) of the Nexuiz announcers should be reworked then as there are already two or three different types. Adding another type is not a good idea.
Anyone wants to help with that?

I'm currently not sure if there is a simple way to add those icons but they are a good idea!

I am still working on that.. that goeas a long itme back.. I worked with kadaver for the minstagib sounds, then with lcatlnx for some more generalized stuff, but it never got off the drawinbaord so to speak.

However I have gotten hold of a guy with an excellent voice. I also theorized about a sound scheme system that woule make it possible for mod developers and players to choose narrator sceme themselves, but that needs a little reworking now with the curren contetn-dl system.

I'll try and get back to this when I jhave a lil more time.

How about supporting speech synthesizers like festival? Could even be used to speak out the current channel messages. *g*

CPU drag, and festival sounds like crap, besides language support is very limited.. nice idea, but I would not recommend it.

CPU drag? Hey, what are all the dual-cores for?

Bad voice? Do you want to hear a whispering female voice? *g*

Nexuiz currently has four unused icons for the scoreboard. Maybe those can be used to display the flag status. Those icons seem like they were planned to display the powerup status == which ones you have picked up but i have never seen them in action. I made a quick and very naiv try to get those icons displayed but have not succeded. Have to study the code more thoroughly later to find out if its possible to display those icons and 'misuse' them...
