[CLIENT] Laser color [version 0.3] (Page 1 of 2)

I like it. I play instagib a good deal, so this will be fun to have.

Mine's pink. ;D

its the first good one to change the laser colour. i think it should be implemented in the next version, also:
       red team  -  red laser
       blue team - blue laser

nice! [+1]

Hey Bobynator,
I couldn't compile your mod (in the original source there were some lines commented out, you removed the //), then I couldn't join any server, version is different. Why the hell you edited gamecore.cpp...? With the original gamecore.cpp it is working, nice ;-) But I don't like "Hue", "Sat." and "Lht.", I prefer RGB Well, I think I have to implement more features in the next version then you... xD

And thanks to the other replys, too ;-)

@erd_bear
yes i changed something in the gamecore, but the things which i changed is for my srv mod. I made a client mod and a srv mod in one source. XD

@landil
yes its possible but it looks not very nice.

edit:
I got it!! different colors for the teams. But there is one problem. there is need a small modification for the server. without this modification the client dont work. maby matricks can add code for 5.2.
replace this in laser.cpp

void LASER::snap(int snapping_client)
{
    if(networkclipped(snapping_client))
        return;

    NETOBJ_LASER *obj = (NETOBJ_LASER *)snap_new_item(NETOBJTYPE_LASER, id, sizeof(NETOBJ_LASER));
    obj->x = (int)pos.x;
    obj->y = (int)pos.y;
    obj->from_x = (int)from.x;
    obj->from_y = (int)from.y;
    obj->start_tick = eval_tick;
}

to this

void LASER::snap(int snapping_client)
{
    if(networkclipped(snapping_client))
        return;

    NETOBJ_LASER *obj = (NETOBJ_LASER *)snap_new_item(NETOBJTYPE_LASER, id, sizeof(NETOBJ_LASER));
    obj->x = (int)pos.x;
    obj->y = (int)pos.y;
    obj->from_x = (int)from.x;
    obj->from_y = (int)from.y;
    obj->start_tick = eval_tick;
    obj->team = game.players[owner]->team;
}

I hope matricks can add this in 5.2!!!

hmm why? there is no problem to add one line code into the sricpt.

if you say that changing the laser color is cheating, then is changing the tee-color cheating too ?! nonsense...xD

same thing with high detail and its build in in the official release so its nonesense... like zeratul allready said

anyway... thats not the topic here
so... b2t!

i dont think that it is the same. with changing the enemy color you get a personal advantage. but if the laser is changeable it isnt cheating. because you can change ALL weapons with changing the game.png etc. is this cheating too? think not.
which advantage do you get when your laser is red and the enemylaser is blue? you will know who is in your team... xD is it an advantage? think not.
which advantage do you get when ALL laser are pink? can you aim better? think not.
will you see the enemy more easily when his LASER has an other color? think not.

i dont think that you can react on a laser shoot, after its going to hit you. too fast.

would like to see that, how you react on an laser shoot. the laser will hit you before you recognize it

No 0.2 Windows binary?

why does it not work?
