The fast team chat.

[demenator]

Whould it be posible for someone to code a HUD/patch to make the fast team chat posible?
Other fps games have them. They are way quicker to use then having /say_team (blbablala) binded to half of the keybord.
Also you cant axidently hit the key becouse you need to peress 2 butons.
And I dont think it whould take too long to code.

So any programer that whould kindly code this HUD 4 me?m (and the rest of course  )

Wouldn't work on pure servers.

Also planned (with sound effects) for 1.2.

[demenator]

Then I guess I'll have to wait till 1.2 

[epsy]

can someone explain me that more precisely? demenator's explanation just lost me

I *think* he means a system of team-chats like is available in many other team-based games (Counterstrike, Battlefield, to name some). Thus, you hit the teamchat key and that opens up a menu of common phrases (nade! defend! om down, attack! etc.) to send to your team, each of which is bound to another key (frequently, the numbers) without affecting whatever you normally have bound to those keys.

People here refer to those as "vsays" because of the voiceovers that are planned to be included with them (as exists in mentioned other example games).

sweeeeeeeeeet!
but pweeeeese make them fully customizable =D
Thanks!

It has voice messages that play, so they won't be changeable.
I guess they could add a menu of user defined text only ones though.

[seeeker]

you could easily just trigger such voice commands imo
set someCommand "say_team ^3Lets go!;voice_team letsgo;"
If possible id like to see a menu that you can populate with cvars
for example:

set menu1_line1 "Menu item 1"
set menu1_line2 "menu item 2"
set menu1_line3 "menu item 3"
set menu1_line4 "menu item 4"
set menu1_line5 "menu item 5"
set menu1_line6 "menu item 6"
...

then you would toggle the menu on/off with another cvar
set menu1_visible 1/0

it would be awesome for displaying all sorts of custom menus.

Edit:
Nice HUD, but it has alien cross hair -_-. I swiched it off but still now I feel giulty for having a hack instaled in my trem version 

[David]

cross hairs have been ruled not cheating time and time again.  1.2 even has them by default.

oticz hud

but you see, youd have to go edit the hud files and your cfg files to modify its functionality and content, with cvars you can easily create things like:

set v_4_3_msg "^2(3) ^3Thanks"
set v_4_3_cmd "say_team ^3Thanks!;vstr hide_menu1"
you can easily do other functions to populate diff cvars with their corresponding v_x_x_msg, toggle menu on/off.

all in one cfg file.

it would be great if it was all cvar controlled imo, not to mention way easier and friendlier for newbies and everyone in general.
