Hi!
I don't know if you have already seen players with animated names. I asked ThePro how to do it and he explained it to me. It works with 3 .cfg scripts. I thought of creating a program which creates those scripts for the users. You only have to say what text you want to have and this program will create the scripts in your Savage game folder ^^

What do you think about it? Is it a good idea?

I have this program, I have use it once this afternoon, but it's boring !

It's cool

o.0 I didn't know you could have animating names in Savage, I don't remember seeing these yet. If they do exist though, it would definitely be interesting to have a program to it all more easily. (I'd imagine it would take some time though, perhaps more time than the matching game did.)

DrKS, is it true that there is already a program? If so, then post it here pls.

I've seen a lot guys with this names.It's cool but I dont know is there a program or not ^^

I'll program it anyways...
For those who can't wait having an animated nickname, look here: http://nitro.just-forum.net/offtopic-f5/animated-names-in-savage-t11.htm

I don't know how many stringfunctions there are, but isn't it way easier/efficient to make the script produce the namearray (Crashday, rashday_, ashday__ etc.) by itself? Then your program won't have to...


Will be waiting for the program anyways

Yes Its not a programme Its a script

Finished my first version!

Animation Example:


Why I made this program?
I got a script template from my friend (ThePro). I saw him on HCS-Server having an animated nickname. I asked him how to and he sent me his script-code on my forum (nitro.just-forum.net). I modified it, because there were some weird senseless lines in this code. Then I tried it in-game and it worked fine. Then many people asked me how I do that and I told them they should look on my forum for a description. Some of them kept answering and so I decided to make a program which creates those scripts.

Preview:


Save created scripts in your Savage XR/game folder!
And add this line to the autoexec.cfg: bind 0 exec /run.cfg (0 if you have 0 as shortcut)


Update 1!

Would it be possible to post some screenshots of these animated names people see in-game? I really haven't seen this yet, but I would love to see an example of what it looks like. ^.^

Looks like you got a decent program coming along there Crashday. =)

thx! screenshots will follow ^^

Hey, I've seen Scav, a NITRO member, with an animated name! It looked funny, but I have one question:

Are you able to call a vote about a player with an animated name? Because his name changes every second, right?

yes you can. you have to click vote in the right moment. but if you change the settings of your animation (time delay) this could be sth like a anti-kick hack ^^
ps: this could crash the server :p

it's cool ^^
