Topic: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

Can someone give me a explanation why the broadcast command was deleted in 0.7?
It's a really useful feature for mods and server admins.
I can't see a reason why this should be removed.

Take a look at: https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/ … 9722410d0d

I hope someone could explain this.
Bye

Because it is bot needed anymore, most notifications have specific display methods (team changing etc.)

Real programmers don't comment their code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

So, you aren't going to see stuff like this in 0.7?

Right.

That's a huge disadvantage for modifications.

Not only for modifications. It's a good communication option for server admins too. You can announce a server event or something like that.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

It was used for admin abuse on vanilla servers anyways. Im only sad because of the mods that used it.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

so basically we have to stick on lol font. not good, but. possible (you can also send it to just one player). maybe there is a lolfont rewrite which does not use just dots, also longer rifle lines)

.. you all know lol text I hope. (the ones written with laser, eg score in fng,...). some have just to create a typeset and a basic implementation (we could actually send it as up pest layer over everything in the map

Having troubles finding servers in the serverlist? Go to Pastebin (its a referer cause there is daily a new pastebin) and add the lines to your settings.cfg (in %APPDATA%\teeworlds). Then open teeworlds and go to the favorites tab. (Note however, standard teeworlds client can only show 256 favorites, use ddnet instead)

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

Chat messages, MOTD and votes are also alternatives.

I don't like lol font because it's not well integrated with the game and new players can be disappointed with them.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

not sure what all you mean by 'lol font', but legitimatly administrated vanilla servers don't have any broadcast spam from the administrators. the github commit -- the idea behind adding localization-able messages is good, but removing broadcast is irrelevant to that commit and should've not removed broadcast. but that commit also seems to add broadcasting code at the same time? I can't and havent tested 0.7, but if you're basing this purely on the github commit, i'd like to remind that "broadcast" is the command to broadcast not "sv_broadcast" (servervariable_broadcast)

here's where it adds code about broadcast:

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

It is not a discussion wether it got removed, it rather is about why.

Ans it definetly got removed, thats not the question here, Spur commit is 3 years old by the way, just check the current code for it.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

What's the value of removing broadcast? If the plan was to kill the mods, congrats! I'm not writing another line. tongue

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

Boycotts are not leading anywhere here... After what you just said... Go ahead, stop modding, not too much of a loss then.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

It's just that all my future mod plans take too heavy impact. Story telling, be it as simple as 'Planting bomb.. 76%' or 'Wave 2', class / ability / weapon pickers like in InfectionClass... Dead ideas.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

All mods will stay on 0.6 branch and won't update to 0.7, 'boycott' will be as simple as that.
A lot of 0.6 servers will stay online for a looooong time anyway after 0.7 will be released.

Nice bro! Please tell us how you replaced the missing broadcast. And no, vote/chat/motd are no solutions.

I will be banned if I troll again ...

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

I did a temporary solution, show turrets health in the chat every 5 hit points lost. I'll release the sources at 24. December when 0.7 comes out too (hopefully) so we can think about a few issues mainly related to that together.

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

What about an separate 'chatbox' wich keeps servermessages (no fading out)?

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

@xush what do you mean? big_smile maybe you missed it but I am a big friend of source code. Actually I hate it that teeworlds license don't have a copyleft (copyleft=same license=mostly opensource)

Re: Broadcast command in teeworlds 0.7

Someone will make custom client, which will support mods much better than vanilla. Like sending custom graphics, draw scripts etc. Or some mod-developers sooner or later will port their mods to 0.7 with some cutted down features, others will stop modding or playing game.
