Server Options: RC Head Image

Brandon · #1 05-31-2003, 12:13 AM

I would like to suggest that a new server option be implemented. Something along the lines of:
rchead=imagefilename

It would be much more efficient than having an NPC with a timeout that sets RC heads every so often.

I agree that would be nice.

Would be very nice.

Yes, that would be great.

Why does it matter what your RC head looks like? Just wear the RC tag.

Some servers have ''RC'' instead of a red head. Or some other image, as the RC head can be used by anyone unless scripted not to. The point is to be more efficient.

Which gives me another idea - maybe when/if the new server option is added, it would automatically not allow players to wear the RC head.

Both of your suggestions can be efficiently done now, and who said you need to run a timeout every so often?

Yea...I mean it isnt that hard to just enter the rchead you want to use into a script. ANd why does it matter if a player uses the Judge head? Some players may like it. And you can tell easly if the player is RC or client player by right click the character or profile. But if your idea was added I wouldnt complain. Just makes less work for the lazy people.

I think they should stay with the old red judge head. It's the classic RC head. =)
It would be good to disable other players from using that head, it would make it easier to distinguish whos who.

Why stick with that old thing, when a new one can be so much better?

Because its a classic, and that's all there is to it. Everyone knows the red judge, and it should stay that way.

Why? I prefer the alternate image to distinguish the server from the other ones.

True, but the original one has always been a sort of "symbol".

What does an RC tag have to do with whether or not a new RC head graphic should be used?

Well, with the RC tag, the name would be in the Staff portion of the playerlist - therefore eliminating the need for an RC head graphic altogether.
Then again, this doesn't exactly answer your question...

No, it doesn't.

See Loriel's signature.

Yea but I still think the red judge is just classic. If you put an image like the one on Gaia people can barely see RC written on that blue thing. =/
But they can still distinguish them so it is really up to the managers.

It's a good feature that should be added, rc head. Seriously: if the server owner wants to keep the head because it's a "classic" and it is special, they'll just set rchead=head25.phg -_- I can't believe how unaware you guys are that people that are so conservative of the original head will use it... Hey! Better yet, let's have each RC choose their head? If the staff wants it to be the same they can make a rule to stop that =)

That's how graal2001 works, subject to approval of which head they use.
