[8:04 PM] Russel: also persistent storage is nice and all but I don't know how to use it
[9:13:08 PM] Rozark Kyouko: lego you fool
[9:13:13 PM] Rozark Kyouko: this means we can gamble in duels now
[9:13:27 PM] Rozark Kyouko: and the amounts we earn can stay that way
[9:15:06 PM] Rozark Kyouko: also strange weapons
[9:16:29 PM] Rozark Kyouko: things like saxton hale, where it was rng before on who was the hale, can now have a proper-ish queue maybe, where you gain 10 points for finishing a round and whoever has the highest amount gets to be the hale next. Points reset to 0 after becoming the hale
[9:22:25 PM] Rozark Kyouko: or if you want to be super elaborate: an online campaign

A way to EARN being hale?
0/10 Way too fun

That's how it worked in the original gamemode in tf2. It gave you an incentive to actually win rounds.

So that means a ranking? i don't understand anything D:

Btw, by logging in zandronum you people mean in IRC or the website?

[Russel]

I explained this.
There's an authentication server [it's currently used for testing so I don't recommend making one unless you plan on trying to use it for modding] whose IP you put into the game from the cvar authhostname.

When you're on a server in zandronum you would then type login username password in the console and it would log you in with the authentication server assuming you have an account on the server. This is all done through Zandronum and the authentication server's website. Not through IRC, not through Zandronum.org.

If I may inquire something, would it be possible to make it so certain classes are only accessible by certain people, otherwise known as userclasses?

[Korby]

it's likely that's possible
pretty lame, but possible

[Emmanuelf06]

It works with IDE and Doom modes only, right?  (i didnt understand a lot the whole topic).

[Russel]

The authentication server is accessed through Zandronum, not whatever launcher you may or may not use to join servers or run the game flat out.

[Jdude330]

I was planning on making a thing that would show a player's kill/death ratio for like duel and stuff...statistics like that are fun to keep track of.

Another thing that would be interesting would be something akin to TF2's "strange" weapons. Server-clearing Spark Shock anyone??????

Late to the party, but HECK YEA!

[ScrapHeap]

I'd rather have Megaman's Own Megabuster.

Also, would it be possible to have it so someone's join sound is different from person to person?

[Legtendga]

I'm going to bump by asking what the status is on this now.(?)
