Title: Buildlog by team or show TEAMATE
Post by: Kiwi on January 09, 2011, 12:29:20 am

Hi, could you please add a TEAMATE message in buildlog for when a teammate kills a friendly structure.  This is important, because when someone decons/base nades it will make it easier to spot who the culprit is.  Right now, you have to know what team the bad player is on to know if they deconed.

For example:

Code: [Select]

*179 19:33 Machinegun Turret destroyed by Pirat_(UA)
*180 19:42 Telenode destroyed by N00b
*181 19:42 Acid Tube destroyed by Warlock
*182 19:42 Telenode destroyed by N00b
*183 19:42 Armory destroyed by N00bThis looks like a plausible buildlog output, however you don't know if N00b is some guy on the alien team who just won the game for you, or a base nader on the human team.  Turning the above into this would be greatly appricated:

Code: [Select]

*179 19:33 Machinegun Turret destroyed by Pirat_(UA)
*180 19:42 Telenode destroyed by TEAMATE N00b
*181 19:42 Acid Tube destroyed by Warlock
*182 19:42 Telenode destroyed by TEAMATE N00b
*183 19:42 Armory destroyed by TEAMATE N00b
This makes it much easier to tell that N00b base naded, and that you should /pause and further investigate.

Thanks,
Kiwi

I was going to do this so definitely +1 :)
That said, I'm happy for someone else to do it. I'm swamped.

Maybe submit it to the bug tracker?

I'm sorry teamkill info managed to get lost in the buildlog rewrite, they should be added shortly.

Awesome thanks.  I guess that means that there is no need to submit a bug?

Can we have a COFFEEMATE message for this instead? ::)
I think it fits the game better.

Oh yeah, this also needs to be added to regular chat, iirc.

Indeed, although in regular chat, you won't get a message unless its your teammate that does the destruction anyways.

Ah right, I was thinking more from an admin who's specing the game's view.
