Hi; I was wondering if it were possible to create a mod / addon that displayed how many points you and each of your team mates gave away to the opposing team during a match (For timed matches, specifically). Because in timed games, points mean everything.
The specifics of it (I.e how it's displayed and when) I haven't thought about.
With a mod like this, you can tell how efficient you are as a player and give your team mates a kick up the ass if need be.
Just a thought

It's actually more difficult than it sounds, you could probably get pretty close to accurate by attaching scripts to the players and their vehicles (and even their c4 and beacons), then update the value of how many points they've given away on the damaged and killed events.
However, the points would probably be a bit wrong due to that weird points bug (green health vehicles giving uber points for shitty warheads or whatever).
However, rather than comparing the points given away value to their actual points value, you could get a better picture by also monitoring how many points the player should of gained too, and comparing it to that.
You may end up with something like this:
Player "redude": Points given away = 12765, Points Earned = 76123
When their real points score is 82456
I suppose you could make a look-up to account for the points bug, but it would start looking even uglier and also add to load.
But I don't think it's a great idea. It cannot really prove who is playing well or not. There are situations where being a teamplayer means sacrificing yourself, and it seems that such a system would not recognise that (granted, such system would be extremely hard to make).
I suppose the points are only relevant in a situation where the game is not won by base destruction.

I still don't think it's a very accurate way to determine a player's "worth", but I guess in matches where there is no base destruction it might hold some value. For this reason, I decided to take a look at it...
It's working, and resetting every map, and players can use the command !value <partial playername>. However, I've only implemented it so far for the actual player's character taking damage (so not vehicles, their c4 etc etc).
If there is still interest in it, I will probably finish it (and maybe add other stats like vehicle losses etc).

Somebody actually did it? I didn't expect that. If you made it, I certainly would use it. I can't see why anyone else wouldn't either; just out of curiosity to see how efficient you were and in comparison to your team mates.
Yet by the looks of it, it will require a server side plugin / addon/ what have you (meaning you'd have to convince server owners to use it) - I presume?
Cheers for making it, Reborn.

Yeah, I decided to give it a look.
You're right, it would be an SSGM plug-in. Most servers are capable of running an SSGM plug-in, as most are built off of it. Those that are not, and run their own custom build would still be able to use it, as the code would be open-source.
I'm not sure how I would make it a client mod, and besides, it would be too much like a cheat for me to even consider trying.
I'll develop it a bit further then to account for vehicles and other stuff that causes points to be given away.

Rofl hex I thought u died haven't seen u in a game for years!
But as far as points being deducted...well they do if u try to repair the enemy, aside from that I think your speaking about noob sbhs blowing the point gain nuking all over the place ...but that's just part of the game on the aows and that's why I prefer a good marathon match.
