[WIP] playerRep [53072]

This mod is mostly a proof of concept to explore how much can be done with the API without core code hacks.

playerRep is designed for multiplayer; throughout interacting with players you can up-rate them or down-rate them; during server browsing these reputations are reflected.

Given the spirit of the Alpha, I chose not to hide games that include players you've down-rated, but suppress their identity instead. I hope it'll become more clear in the screenshots.










It's not perfect (its rather alarming how difficult it is to mod when the server list changes so rapidly) but I don't think this first version should cause any glaring issues.

Installation is manual for those that are curious. Add the following lines to the very bottom of your ui_mod_list.js file:

Code:

// Mod files for PlayerRep
global_mod_list.push('../../mods/playerrep/global.js');

Todo:

• Add player chat colors
• Figure out a positive & negative color scheme, including for highlighted rows
  
• Add rating controls to lobby & game over screen.
• I do plan to create a textarea hook, so you can add notes to the person you're rating
• Add a method to remove the rating of an individual
• Et cetera.

Known Bugs:

• It done gone broke in team games. Will work on it.

Feedback welcome.

good job. although the messages could really do with being much much smaller.

Thanks mate, I'll reduce them.

Here's a Mod Manager ini file for this mod - put it inside the playerrep folder and it will let the mod be enabled/disabled by the Mod Manager.

Thanks Raevn; when I can get the mod manager for mac working I'll get these INIs sorted.

Oh, what's wrong with the Mac version of the mod manager? Is it the missing Qt4 libraries? Do you get an error?

I think it might be my own ineptitude rather than a problem with the mac version you wrote. I did install the Qt4 libraries, but no matter what I do I get:

Code:

RyanMacBook-Pro:~ ryan$ /Applications/PA.app/Contents/MacOS/pamm_mac ; exit;
Segmentation fault: 11

I tried a few different locations; it was either the seg fault or illegal op.

Niiiiiiiice. Thanks for the tip sir!
