Some minor suggestions for ttt

[Lieutenant McNugget]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking this forum for some time, and I've seen bad suggestions, as well as nice ones. Now I figured I would go along and make some myself.
 
Keep in mind, though, that they may not be to good according to certain standards. If you don't like them, tell me why, and I'll try to give an argument. If the idea is that bad, I stand corrected. Anyhow, here they are:

Detective team chat

The mini-title says it all. A shift-chat for the detectives to communicate privately.

Weapons on players

Ever get sick of having to go through a hassle of trying to see someone's primary or secondary? Well this is a good solution. When a primary weapon is holstered, the weapon could be shown on the person's back, and the secondary would be on their upper thigh, or where their holster is. (Not sure if this is very possible without some glitches. then again, I know almost nothing about lua, so I don't know its true potential.)

Small health indicator

An extremely minor addition that states what your health status is. You know how you can look at someone, and it says "healthy", "hurt", "wounded, etc? Well it would tell you what other people see when they look at you. So if you were wounded to others, the text would say "you are wounded," and so on and so forth. It would be preferably located near your health bar, in the form of small text.

So yeah, most of these suggestions are very very minor, but could be somewhat useful on different occasions. That is all :D

Detective chat will result in detectives only chatting to each other about anything they find, leaving the innocent out of the process and making it more boring for those players.

I won't get into the others as I have not personally played TTT in several iterations.

Ohh, okay. I understand. So it has been suggested and turned down before. I'll remove it from the list on the op.

I think being able to hide your weapon is pretty important to the game. Changing it would really upset balance.

I'll look at an extra health indication showing your coarse status. Maybe just an option to colour your health bar according to your status, so green = healthy, orange = wounded etc.

I agree with BKU, however I like the health indicator idea.

Okay. Sounds good.

Love that idea.

Well, it's going to be a text label instead because at "healthy" the bright green bar looked horrible.

[Lieutenant McNugget]

Yay! one of my suggestions made it on ttt :). At least most likely it will

I have another quick suggestion. It would be helpful if the console command "cl_cleardecals" was ran as soon as everyone is assigned a team. That way pre-round phase blood wouldn't be mixed up with mid-round phase blood, since people tend to crowbar eachother a lot before the round starts.

[phoenixf129]

You mean "r_cleardecals". And that every client should run it on the round start hook, is simple enough to make, look here you go!

local function ClearPostRoundDecals()
for k, v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:ConCommand("r_cleardecals")
end
end
hook.Add("TTTBeginRound","ClearPostRoundDecals",ClearPostRoundDecals)

Stick that in "lua/autorun/server/" whatever you want it to be named, and simply execute it.
It'll run "r_cleardecals" on every player when each round starts, Aka, no blood.

[Lieutenant McNugget]

Ohh, okay. Thanks

Thats already on my server, you can see it in action if you want, but i dont see why you would. xD
