Title: Small UI improvements
Post by: EponiCo on April 22, 2011, 02:54:43 pm

Show in the left corner how many players are left alive in the team instead of how many rounds team has won.
This is important information in battle, but you must the open score chart and count to see it, the other isn't and can be seen in the scorechart anyway.
Looks like this - yellow means this is your team, this can be helpful in siege too when the round starts to know if you are attacker or defender (ladders).

For siege you could theoretically also make the icon flash when the flag is in danger.

This is unacceptable, rest is good.

Yeah, I've managed to sneak round the entire defence a few times and capture the flag by myself, don't take that away from me!

Added survivor count instead of score to battle and siege (with some little changes to avoid it from running on every frame).

Thanks.

I'm not going to believe it until I log in and see it, mister chadz junior.
