Playerlist Changes

As most of you would of noticed (probably) the playerlist subheadings have changed from eg "Admins" to "--- Staff ---".
Now if you are like me and don't like the change you may use this script on your server.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
  //Defines the names to replace.
  //If you are going to change it it works like this:
  // "before name", "after name".
  temp.replace = {
    {"--- Staff ---",    "Staff"},
    {"--- Buddies ---", "Buddies"},
    {"--- Guild ---",   "Guild"},
    {"--- Players ---", "Players"},
    {"--- Ignore ---",  "Ignore"},
    {"--- Offline ---", "Offline"},
  };
  //Sleeps for two seconds so when the actual
  //player list script is initialized it doesn't replace
  //what we are going to change; with what it wants.
  sleep(2);
  //Loops through all the names to replace and replaces them.
  for(temp.i = 0; temp.i < replace.size(); temp.i ++){
    temp.r = PlayerList_List.findtext(replace[i][0]);
    PlayerList_List.rows[temp.r].text = replace[i][1];
  }
  //Focuses on the playerlist then graal to make the changes
  //come into effect.
  PlayerList_List.MakeFirstResponder(true);
  GraalControl.MakeFirstResponder(true);
}

I expect when you say "you may use this script on your server", you are promoting the idea that this script is added to your players when you log in. This is a bad idea, because if we ever make further changes to the playerlist, your script may cause undefined behaviour, and it will also likely affect the playerlist script after the player has switched to another server.

As such, I advise you don't use this.

I'd glad fully remove this script and not promote it at all of you renamed the headings back ;)
But I suppose I could try and make it check if a row exists first and if not then return?
And I have tested it to a degree, if no row exists with the name; it skips it.

It was not me who changed them. ;)

Well, I don't generally promote anything that modifies the default scripts whatsoever, unless using documented public functions.

Fair enough, but I will be using this script.
It looks so messy with --- name ---.

In all honesty who cares if there is a --- before and after the title. Keep this for yourself, I'm sure not many people will use it anyway. Its not a big deal.

I like the new look.

i suggest adding a playerlist option, so you can toggle between the two. lolmao
