Multiplayer - show 'alive' players

Post by Gravitr »

I was playing multiplayer yesterday, and I've realized I really miss here one thing: some kind of list of players, who are still playing, or are connected to game, and players who are already destroyed or disconnected (for example sync lost). Then, when you will be playing in 6 players, you will know who is remaining on map and who is off.

And it has one more plus: it's more visible than the small question mark, which non-advanced players can barely see.

How it works:
Start of the game

After some attacks (and sync losts..):
Middle state of game

2.png (94.35 KiB) Viewed 5893 times
Note: I would rather stroke out player names than add [DEAD] tag, but I didn't came up with a solution how to do it in display_strings.


Tell what do you think about this. :amwink:
