Reading buddyaccounts.txt

[Crow]

Well, I tried to read buddyaccounts.txt clientside, since I want to highlight your buddies in my new nickname system, and it doesn't work. Or at least a simple loadLines() won't do it. If it's possible, could somebody tell me how? If it's not, I think there should be a special function added to the shared function pack maybe

PHP Code:

TServerPlayer.isbuddy - boolean

Why not do something like this?

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  for(temp.i: allplayers) {
    if(temp.i.isbuddy) {
      temp.out.add(temp.i);
    }
  }
} 


>:[ Ziro beat me to it.

There's also:

PHP Code:

TServerPlayer.isignored
TServerPlayer.isadmin

Please make a different system for it ... my Era "buddies" aren't necessarily on my buddies list, and I'd rather they not be.

Naw, just makes it complicated. I will add an option to disable the buddy highlight though.

There's a difference between extra work and complicated.

There used to be a system where you just double clicked a player and added them as a buddy, and you could see their name. I would like to see something like this, rather than going by playerlist buddies

How would you remove them from your buddies?

The account would probably be in some array. Perhaps double-clicking them again would remove them from the array?

I don't recall how it used to work, but I would assume a list in the options window which allows you to click & remove them.

Before, the buddy system was the only way for you to see someone's name (keep in mind, this system lasted about 4 days before it was removed). Both players had to agree to be buddies, but that isn't necessary for this.

It lasted 4 day because it was frigging annoying as hell.

Just add them to your normal buddy list and turn off 'Show buddies from other servers' if you don't want to see them when you're not playing Era.

No, because I want to see when others are on.

There is no excuse for being lazy here. This isn't overly-complicated.

It is complicated, when being a player. Why have two buddy lists? That's not even necessary.
