Health Indicator Request (Unless it is considered cheating)

So I was thinking about something and wonder if someone could rig it up, unless of course people would consider it cheating.

When you point directly at someone a small health indicator appears so you can see their current health status. I was wondering if there would be a way to rig it up under the following specifications:

1. Health indicator is always displayed with the player indicator; regardless of where you are aiming.
2. Only have the health indicator displayed on enemies if their player indicator is currently being displayed. (ie. Make sure that the health indicators don't display through hills/walls etc)

Why am I asking for this? It is because sometimes when I am chaining, I can't tell if my bullets are hitting or not, you are basically firing blind. I know people say to watch for chain sparks, but the problem for myself is that more than half the time chain sparks are being displayed but no damage is being taken. This may have to do with my average ping of around 70, I am not sure.

I don't see why it would be considered cheating as long as the indicators only pop-up under the same circumstances that the player indicators do. Who knows though, there is a lot of sandy vaginas that play Tribes.

Oh yeah. My request is for 1.4 plz.

Discuss at your own will.

You use 1.4 and want more help with the chaingun? Wow.

Yes.

Do you have this for 1.4 and can you provide a link?

Also is it considered acceptable? There was some disagreeing in regards to whether or not it would be taboo.

nice work!

Turn off netset and your chainsparks won't lie as much.

I don't have netset you dumbass. Quit saying I do. From what I understand I thought most people were using netset anyways?

You use 1.4, you have a profitable chain.

Maybe if you set it to 32 instead of 0. Should be a good middle ground.

learn how to chain. stop asking for even more script help to compensate for your natural aiming abilities.

lolll collosal wannabe chainwhore noob gtfo-

Lol. I guess I forgot what this community was like.

I had a legitimate request, explained the circumstances, asked for opinions and I get:

1. Scuzzle, who keeps claiming for like the past week that I am cheating somehow. Ask the GOOD cappers how good my chain is. They would say I suck. I can't help it if chasing you is like shooting a stationary target.

2. Elitists like Stork who feeds the generic "learn2play nub." Seriously? Does my request insult you so much that you felt the need to post such a waste of precious internet space?

3. Lemon who is all like "OMG you use 1.4 you ****ing cheater." I don't get these people at all. The people that act like 1.4 is already a huge cheat. I can't help it if I hover in the 75 ping range. I can't use 1.3 at all, I am forced to use 1.4 to even attempt to play honestly. Even with 1.4 I still experience some issues with chain that I am sure the people with 12-16 pings just don't experience (****ty flags anyone?).

Thank you to NoFix and leetdemon who were the only people to respond intelligently.

I don't use netset or any means to make my chain better. My only request was a health indicator to help compensate my higher ping. **** you people.

I would love to have the names of the players appear when their indicators appear. Is that possible without shady codes?

i've been requesting that **** from nofix for all these years. that punk wont public leak it. Better ask opsayo (:

I like to distinguish amongst players who whore non-stop, and those with class who would rather disk so that I can deal out approriate responses.

Its part of my 'treat thy neighbor' initiative.

guess what.....NONE OF US KNOW WHEN ARE CG BULLETS ARE HITTING OR NOT. WELCOME TO 13 YEARS OF TRIBES.

average ping around 70...high ping doesnt stop opsayo and some of the euro/aus players from having great chainguns.

like I said, learn to aim.
