Rescripting the Playerlist

[ApothiX]

I remember reading somewhere this was possible, but I have no idea how.

On the 3.04 client, you used to have the "Playerlist" weapon in your inventory, so we tried using requesttext("weapon", "Playerlist"); and like a hundred other names for the weapon, to get it, but we got a "weapon does not exist" error message.

Any information regarding rescripting the playerlist would be much appreciated.

well you're best off doing it from scratch. if you just want it to be a limited functionality list just use allplayerscount, and allplayers[i], from there it's easy. If you want it to be full functionality of the current one I am sure that it's possible, you will just have a big script to make :-/

The playerlist is already a weapon, and I know it's possible to rescript it, so there isn't much point in me recreating one from scratch

If it's already a weapon, is it also already in NC?

Probably obvious and already checked in there, but ya never know.

That was the first thing we did

I thought requesttext(); asked the server for things..?
The playerlist is a scripted part of the client, I think.

Well, we thought it may have been a clientside weapon script held in NC, that's why we used it. Also, I think Okie meant to title the thread "Editing the Playerlist Script".

Yes, that is a more suitable title. It was late when I wrote that

I'm thinking the script for the playerlist was built into the client.

When someone says it's a script, they don't mean GScript.... At least I don't believe that's how it is. It's...impossible simply using GScript.

Stefan, back me up?

You can easily rescript it with the new engine.

How?

I bet it will show up under 'GUI Scripts' once the scripted RC is enabled.

How is the script accessed to begin with?

I would check your Graal folder, if it's at all editable yet.

I've checked before, but I guess checking again couldn't hurt. o_O
