How Do You Show The Kills On Score Board?

Marq · October 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">It is helpful.</div> I've seen screenshots of scoreboards showing Kills/Deaths in NS... If there is a trick to showing this then I want to know!!!

No real reason...I just think it's cool to see who the best is. And please don't flame because I already know what your thinking:

Scoreboard kills was turned off in 2.0. It seems Flayra may be playing around with a new scoreboard for 2.1. We'll see if anything becomes of that.

(I don't necessarily agree that scores promotes rambos.)

Just write "status" in console while your playing and you are able to see how kills every one has. You'll be able to see bunch of other information like their WON id's.

Hunty · October 2003

I dont think status is very accurate all the time....it once said i had 368 kills.I find that terribly hard to believe as i was the comm.

Who beats who depends on who won <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

And Beta 1 didn't have marine scores anyway, so it's not like they were nerfed too much ( it's perfect right now, imo)

I know about the status command... but I think it's better to have a view of it from the touch of the scoreboard button.

Somebody <i>has</i> to know about this...

MrMojo · October 2003

It was taken out. So, unless you can write a plugin, no.

ZiGGY · October 2003

if you think kills mean anything in ns you are a n00b tbh.

homerx · October 2003

Agreed.

EnemyWithin · October 2003

I don't agree. I think the scoreboard is a fun addition to the game. I hope Flayra brings back the scores in v2.1.

MrMojo · October 2003

He won't. Don't even hope for it, you'll be dissapointed.

homerx · October 2003

Putting the scoreboard back in the game will result in:

Every alien saving for Onos instead of building a hive.

Every marine will keep whining for a HA+HMG+Welder.

"OMGZ WHO CAERS IF WE LOES!??!1 I HAEV TEH MSOT FRAGZZ IN TEH GAEM!!!11"

Marq · October 2003

I was NOT suggesting a scoreboard replacement for later versions...

Novis · October 2003

Maybe those who want the scores in can enlighten me about what exactly they find helpful about the score.
IMHO fragscores are for deathmatch, and unless I will get scores for welding, assist kills, guarding stuff, moving to waypoints, building structures and spreading good spirit I'm not likely to change my opinion.

Read the webbed changelog:

no one knows what that means, to me it sounds like just an easier way to score scrimms other than total res.

As for the scoreboard, there IS NO WAY TO SHOW IT IN 2.xx. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. Did I say it with enough emphasis for you? It was taken out for a reason.

Turkey2 · October 2003

Ok he purposely stated that he doesnt care about balance issues so stop posting about the <b>possible</b> balance issues. Are you sure the screenies you were lookin at weren't 1.04 or earlier or possibly beta screenies? Thats all I can think of, there may be a plugin that someone has written but I havent seen it.

btw status always works you were just looking at the wrong number...

Marq · October 2003

Keep in mind I just want this for my own personal use/information/nostalgia...I could care less how everyone else feels about it, and if you do not want this in 2.1 and up, fine by me.

As for usefulness of it? As a comander you can pick the one with highest K/d ratio to give shotguns to. Just an example. I'm sure there's plenty of others.

Harry_S_Truman · October 2003

I think the marine commander should be able to see scores.

It would help greatly on the decisions he makes about who to give equipment too. As a commander, I'd rather give the HMG's to the guy that is 12-2 rather than the guy that is 0-10.

It's a quick way, especially on pubs, for a commander to tell who has some bit of skill.

Other than that, grunts dont' NEED to know.

The alien player list is already ordered by who has the most kills, it just doesn't show the number.

im_lost · October 2003

I can never figure out which numbers to look at when I type status in the console.
Even though aliens are sorted, it does not take deaths into account, so it is sorted by kills alone, putting the permagorges at the bottom (if the other players are any good). I think letting the comm see K-D info for his own team is a good idea. Make it so they have to be in the CC for 30 seconds before getting this data. This way if the regular comm jumps out for a second it won't be convenient for someone else to jump in just to see this info, but in the first 30 seconds of the game there isn't anything useful in that info anyway.

SentrySteve · October 2003

type status in your console, it will tell you how many frags everyone has.

Just like blood will NEVER be in NS?

Hmm I thought you guys would have learned by now to not try and predict Flayra's actions. Its worth a try to tell him you think NS would be better with a scoreboard. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Well, thank you =)

Yes I know...it's really hard to see because it's a hi-res pic. If you want a better view of it set it as your background.

DarkFrost · October 2003

On a server just now, i saved 100 res, put up the second hive, and went fade (was on nothing) marines were in gen room, only waiting for a PG, I got there a fraction late to stop the PG getting built, but i cleared gen multiple times, unable to take the PG out as the RT was elec and was covering it, and battle wounds meant i had to go heal, I was screaming at my team to come to gen and help me, but noone would, and those who did, i couldnt save from the marines, I had the highest score on the server, due to earlyish fading, but i nthe end we didnt win the game, because the team wouldnt co-operate, the onos had redemption, and insisted on devour, the skulks were wandering about like numpties..

The moral of the story is - It doesnt matter if you are on the team who is getting most kills, it doesnt mean you will win, and on that note, im not fussy about scoreboard there or not, it wouldnt make much difference anyway.

Well let's see...I said don't flame me saying "this will demote teamwork and promote rambos", calling it "old news", and that I just wanted this for my own personal use.

What does this have to do with the good side of my psyche? (or maybe there's another definition of "ego" I have no idea about)

In any case...I myself could care less about my "ego" =)

DarkFrost · October 2003

not your ego.. but "super ego" you need to worry about <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> (thats the limit of my knowledge on psychology before people come to me asking whether or not they need a psychiatrist - has happened before!)
