Randy? Who is Randy?

Most of the people on this board seem to be teenagers, so I'd say that most of them are Randy.

You know, things would be so much better if this wasn't just an inofficial build...

So, i finally checked out Grubber's code.

The alternate warping looks great. I like it much more than the original so I say keep it.
But the HUD messages on camera textures code has to be completely rewritten. As long as HUD messages are local the current implementation will most definitely be highly problematic.

I'll rewrite it to make it work in multiplayer, I have an idea how to do it... but if you've got some hints, tell me.

I'd manage the hud messages differently. Currently they are owned by the status bar and that creates a big problem. To make this work well they probably have to be regular thinkers that attach themselves to the status bar (or canvas or whatever) if they want to be displayed. This should happen per frame and the status bar should reset the attached messages each tick.

As long as HUD messages are managed by the status bar it won't work reliably because by that very definition they are local on each machine.

But this definitely requires some more extensive change about their handling

@Graf: This is similar to my idea. Thanks anyway.

is there a change log anywhere of what has changed since 96? or a rough idea, thanks
