A real MOD - Includes previous submissions

OK.. I just added a new HUD. It's basically a player list HUD and is accessed by the F2 key.

I also decided to merge all of my work into one real MOD distribution so here it is:

LabRat's Demo Stuff

Installation:
Extract with paths into your example directory.

It should create a folder named LabRat with 3 other folders inside it.

Starting:
Create a shortcut to the v12test.exe and add '-mod LabRat' to the target path.

Contents:
Chat HUD Background
Main Menu Bitmap Buttons
Player List

As there are already images of the first two additions posted I will only add the image of the Player List.

Cool stuff... haven't played with the GUIs yet myself. How about making the chat window a little bigger? Stuff gets scrolled off pretty quick if there's more than like 2 people talking.

Press the P key. The chat HUD (by default) has three different sizes.

You can also press pageup to scroll back in the buffer to view missed text.

Nice work LabRat, thanks.
The player list is very nice, I hated shouting around 'Anyone here?' :)

Nice work. I had in mind of adding this sort of "list" :-).

Does a scripting reference exist for the V12 script engine?

Not yet... I've been scripting for Tribes 1 and Tribes 2 for a while now... If you have questions about certain functions I'm pretty sure I can give you an answer. And now with having the source code I have one more place to research how things work :)

Very nice. I've been wanting that player list for while now :)

I'm not familiar with Tribes. Is there a way to see a list of available console commands from within the test app?

I mean, how did you know that 'P' changed the size of the text box. And how do you chat?

Guess I should buy Tribes :)

Those are bound within the scripts.

Do a Find Files for files containing the word bind and/or bindcmd
