What would you like in GH?

[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] :] smoother :X

hey cool, the GHBM.

Perhaps he can read this topic to. Smile

edit: I send them an email.

i send them an link before Razz

Could you also post in polish section about this topic? More ideas is better.

yes i can. I`ll do it but not now (out of energy) :>

If there is need for icons/images, I might be able to help. I also created the forum header and the current GameHunter icons. (yeah, I know, it says DK in gamehunter, that was my old nickname).

Smile

Heh,maybe some themes to new GH ? Very Happy

Like Looney, Zaibaitsu, Elvis etc themes?

Away note!

eg:

Kod:

/away msg
/away toilet

someone type:

!away _L_Razor

and

<Sally> _L_Razor is away msg is: toilet. _L_Razor being away from [i]x time[/i]

somethink like that Very Happy

I am reading this and so far most of the ideas sound reasonable.

Great you can join/read Sektor. Smile

If I quickly collect the idea's so far, we have:

*Options to ignore players chat/activity, make friend lists
*Different logging process/steps
*More information in GameHunter, like logs
*Different chat system or at least make private message popup or in different tab.
*New system for away messages, more options?
*Keep memory usage of program small/low (also small installer file?) Some people have old PC
*Perhaps new GUI/looks, but not more heavy on PC
*Perhaps options to add a theme (like gangtheme's), but be able to turn on or off to keep resources/memory low

I also got myself some crazy (dream) idea's:

Chat function in GameHunter can also be used in the game.
Notify if person of friendlist gets online in the game with small icon/image. (Like Windows Live?)
Screenshot function to share funny moments in game directly to GameHunter.
Pick a background song during starting game/looking for people?
High score list that updates in GameHunter and on website?
Run A game on Gamehunter server where everybody can join in (almost 24/7). Not sure that technical possible, but would be nice.
A port test tool? Or is that there already?
Perhaps change the way gta2 uses gameports so it's easier for people to play, no need to open ports, use ports like http/80. Perhaps this can be done with a patch/fix or run virtual something to direct gta2 port to 80 port.

So far I really like the theme idea. I would love to make gang theme's for the game. Perhaps if you can send me the layout of the possible image places in GameHunter. Like with a website, what are static images and what are 'stretch' images I could try to make a theme. I will try to keep the filesize of images as low as possible (so also memory resources will be low). I prefer to use for that png (8bit).

Exactly

That's something like XFire ( [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] ). This software helps organising games and servers, has in-game interface, chat, friends list, shows pop-up when somebody sends you a message. Also can make screenshot or even video. Maybe that is direction, where Game Hunter should go. Wink

Cytat:

Impossible whithout source code IMO. Sad

You mean GH host, or client-server connection, like in the most multiplayer games?

Final frag values/points could be read from RAM but I don't really know how to find them yet.

I was thinking of just using the honour system, after game you choose "I WON", "I DIDN'T WIN", "DRAW", "ERROR: DISCONNECT/OUT OF SYNC". Selections could be sent to website, if there are disagreements then game could count as a DISAGREEMENT and eventually you would see which players are likely to be lieing since they would have the most DISAGREEMENTs. Of course it's not perfect and there will always be people trying to cheat leaderboards/ladders.

In a dispute, replays could be checked. The game does have a replay record system but all players need to enable it and to playback, you need the same amount of computers and the replay files from all computers.

Are animations supported? Are they heavy on memory? Else you could add a small group/clan of russians that walk under the logo at the right corner ones in the 1-2 minutes. not too distracting.

Quick example/mock up:
