How do i T-bag a scorch mark??

also i already had a poke around looking for where chat is handled in game,
i defiantly need someone to point an say look here max,
there's so much code to take in when you learning its easy to get lost

Look here max:
PA/media/ui/alpha/live_game/live_game.js
Line 590

cheers

cheers

I thought it was somewhere in live_game
I was unsure though, so i thought it better to ask someone then just randomly starting on fiddling with code.
I learn using the trial and error technique (I Try this, fail, try that fail, try again, win ..yay).
And most of my coding skills is some Awesome "copy and pasting" hahahaha

That's what I do mostly. The more you do it the less "fails" you'll produce.

We've got loads of very competent programmers in the Realm, and we're building in a git-type thingy into the website hopefully before release to let people work on mods together. Have a natter with a few people on the Teamspeak and see if you can find anyone willing to lend a hand!

plz for the love of shazbot put in VGS...

I do hope at least someone knows as to what im referring to

Do you play tribes ?

that's way harder for me to implement than text but most probably possible.

yes well I did competitively anyway, not anymore though VGS all the way though

It's pretty easy to make a **** out of power plants and energy storage. That's about all I've figured out.

Yes, I want te commander to talk. First I want him to be able to say a couple standard things that are related to your choosen faction.

The standard sentences used in Tribes: Ascend are very usefull. You have taunts, but also shouts like: defend this and attack that. I think that PA can really profit from a similar system. Because you will not have an ingame voice chat, this is very usefull.

Shout example:
VBB2: Build a T2 Bot factory
V Open commands menu
B Build
B Botfactory
2 T2
It might even be possible to place a marker with the command, because this is not a FPS but an RTS.

I put the info from the wiki in a quote. Just look at it, this stuff is amazing and easy to use.

I'm thinking if they open up the UI api a bit more for modders, some people say it possible to implement voice activated commands using google API.
Maybe i can do something similar and use an API or the built in Window Text-to Speech capability's and turn the chat that's typed and displayed into synthetized spoken words.

But once again , i will most probably need to find a more skilled scripter/modder as my current skills fall a bit short of doing this (im sure it wont take me too long to learn though)

Just to be clear the system I mention might be called "Voice Game System" but as a player you only press a combination of keys. A computer voice will speak the order and it will show in the chat.

If it's not standard in the game, it would be great if you could make a mod for it. Unfortunately my modding skills are non-existent.

I second this. Except for the taunts. A way to toggle the taunts off would be awesome.

Rather than intercepting a chat message, why not just bind a hotkey through Javascript to send a message? Much less hacky
