While you're at it, how about a text field with variable text length? It would allow me to display a MOTD, detailed information about the server [and so on and so forth] without having to align a large number of buttons.
int TextLen[1] // number of characters char Text[TextLen] // text
The swedish lfs forum (http://forum.liveforspeed.se) has a tweaked phpbb. The visitor may switch between "normal" and column-listed subforums by clicking a button.
Though I was not expecting "+1"s or "-1"s. I was expecting constructive, detailed descriptions of how and why the information could be used. Just like the usual insim discussions. But I simply did not realize that what I was asking for was so much work!
And by the way: Someone just pointed out to me that the debug mode (shift-f8) displays latency information if display names are turned on. I had completely overlooked that feature. It will suffice for now.
Speaking of missed (or ignored) posts; a couple of weeks ago I created this post asking for client latency information in the MCI packet.
Initially it seemed like I was the only one who would appreciate such info, and I can fully understand why Scawen would not want to spend time on a feature only one single person would find useful. But I've learned that there in fact are other programmers out there who agree with me (more or less).
If you guys (or girls) would step forward maybe it would be easier for Scawen to find the time to implement such information somewhere. (I have learned that it does not necessarily have to be the MCI packet, for example).
I have no idea. I'm just happy it failed one week before the warranty ran out instead of one week after. Decided to remove my comment and the attachment though.
Path X will allow you to "upload" layouts within LFS itself just by hitting shift-U and loading the layout. You'll have to be logged in as an admin though.
Don't forget to type /axsave to save it on the server.
(This feature has already been implemented in the test patches)
Re: The new escape menu featuring shortcut key information
I'd recommend keeping the shortcut legend in the escape menu (even though it doesn't look as good as it used to). Instead of removing it alltogether, add an option in misc or whatever where you can turn the shortcuts legend on or off.
