New mod/ Client ideas

[kotoko]

I am suggesting a (patch)modification about cg drawing so that joined players can see the name and hp above their teammate's head without pointing to them. It can be handy to recruit favored teammates to move as a group. Also, spectators can see clearly who is doing what, in the scene, without pointing, without the pointer : P, when there are many players fighting at the same scene.  (spectators do not have to filter away status of the players on the opposite team of the players being spec ie. showing both team' s players' names and hps )

Another client side feature I would like to suggest is some addon features for demo playback. Currently there are no (or just I don't notice it? plz tell me if it s the case) way to move to a specified time (fast skip) while playing a demo. I suggest features so that clients can bind keys to increase/decrease the playback speed and it would be best if it s possible to skip to a specified frame by typing a command.

You can increase/decrease demo playback speed with /Timescale.

best if it s possible to skip to a specified frame by typing a command.

this is impossible, because the demo format doesn't store any state information only the commands that were required to move from the previous frame to the current one, so the only way to get any information about the nth frame is to look at the (n-1)th frame,
