Show Capture on "Kill Chart"

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Yes please.

Wow EnEsCe great! Finally! xD

Thanks all for the positive feedback on this idea. 

From what I understood, he's asking that the killscore and the capscore be kept seperate. As it is now, if a person has 25+ kills it's impossible to tell wether that guy actually killed that amount of people or if he scored.

That's not quite the point, but worth mentioning.  I agree that it would be nice to see captures as a separate metric. 

Really what I was thinking of was seeing *who* managed to capture the flag in real time, so that you know who to gun for, or who to protect/support next time.  Right now, if you're in the middle of the map during a capture, you don't have a clue who did what.

Even if"Bravo team scores" was amended to "echo_trail scores for Bravo" or somesuch, it would be an improvement.

He wants captures displayed in the kill console. I say this would be a really simple and useful feature that would enrich soldats gameplay <3

Okay, so it's called the "Kill Console"?  I didn't know it had a name.  Anyway, that's exactly what I'm talking about.  Just a name, a picture of a flag next to it, and maybe how many caps they have, streaming along with all the other brutality that the players are dishing out.  That's all.

Wait, doesn't it allready say that? I believe so, in the upper left corner..

I thought that we're never being listened to.

Way to go, E!

Fantastic teaser there.  I see that you guys are compiling the next release with the seldom used "--awesome" flag.  Carry on.

Honestly, I thought it didn't.  My eyes are usually parsing the Kill Console.  I'll have to look for that next time.

Edit:

Wait, do you mean the chat console?  If so, I think it's debatable if that's the best place for this information.  Quake used to do *everything* through chat, but since Soldat has the Kill Console broken out, we have a very nice and useful separation of concerns at work.  I think it would enhance things greatly to see caps moved over to the Kill Console, since it's more of a real-time performance notification than a chat message.

Also, the chat console gets abused pretty easily - chatty servers bury useful information all the time.

I agree. the position of the log isn't at all favorable. But I generally think that many of the different information are displayed in a poor way. Like, when you press F3 to read the FPS data, it's diplayed half on topå of the kill log. How about putting this in the middle, and perhaps set the "X captured Y's flag" in the lower part of the screen or something, so it kinda stands out?

Don't go overboard.... No further changes will be made
