So basically, you want a "GT member" sprite. Should only other GT members see it, or everyone? Can you give me the exact color code included characters for [GT] - so I can make it work depending on such nicknames?

Should it also show [GT] members of other teams?

Actually... I think I am going to do it a bit differently... maybe I should make a (toggleable) special sprite for members of the same clan in the same team, defined by a list of nickname prefixes/suffixes in a config file on the server? It would only work in team matches, and maybe not using nickname prefix/suffix, but a client cvar for a clan "ID"... not sure yet.

The 'GT' is #c0c0c0
The '[ ]' is #f00608

At the moment GT is debating whether or not it should be visible only to GT members, or to everyone on their team.

I do like the ID idea. Will there be complications if there are new GT members? How will we add a new member, is it possible to have a website that allows auto-updating from there. I'm sure there will be a way to do it, but how...

No, the game does not use any auth server and won't get one. It should just require client and server, not more.

So anyone would be able to "fake" the ID then.

Alright, I'll take answer on what I think would be best for GT, the sprite should be visible for everyone on the team - Will this mess with the fps?

I have added a post on the GT forum, so some people may decide differently.

I do like the toggle idea. Could you please add that some where?

Visible for everyone on the team... wouldn't like that. It just gets annoying, if other clans want that too... Do you REALLY want that? If I implement it, it won't be exclusively for GT.

oh, ok. Just for GT members to see. Shall we set it so that the member has to be on your team?

I also just realised that I didn't give you the color code of the yellow arrow. The color code is #fffe03

Div, would you like to join GT?

I have asked the members of GT and they would like you to be in GT. I know that you are in RBI but maybe RBI will let you in both. If so, we may be able to have a clan alliance with them.

About GT... I'll think about it, but I have nothing against it for now...

as for the sprites... I think I can start making a specification...

- there can be sprites clanRBI.spr, clanGT.spr, etc. - let's see, maybe I can make a script to autogenerate them from the clan tag, because that way it would look best
- cl_showclans 1 will show a sprite for anyone who sets cl_clan to one of the "installed" clan sprites (not just your own clan)
- cl_clan GT sets you as a member of GT, and it will show GT above your head, and team mates also in GT will see you
- If you select a clan that does not have a corresponding sprite on the server, it will simply not be shown

These features will only work in teamplay, as it would give away enemies in DM.

Would it be okay like that?

Also... HELP ME, FLAG CARRIER etc. sprites should temporarily override clan tag display.

That is perfect. Thank you for helping GT.

hey! that would be actually kinda cool if you could enable clan bubbles!

another sprites question:
can we use animated Halflife sprites?
