Just a sug...

[s1998m2002]

Hello TS Dev team I would like to make another Sug. it has to do with viewing people as they log on and off the server. Thru the client.

Suggestion: Can the ability to make the client transparent be incorperated. This would allow those who chose to see who logs in and out even in game play. I think this would also have to include the ability to make it so it would remain windowed and ontop well being that i am not a programer i sorry if my sug is way to difficult to accomplish.

Thanks for the Op to voice my sug.

Client transparent? As in invisible? This has been asked for many times and has been always been turned down for privacy reasons. You could have done a search on this before posting.

Ok so you have had discussions on HUD development in other games. You yourself said this would be grand. But I see the time to invest in developing individual game standard HUD'd to be costly and mostly just eye-candy. But now you ad the ability to allow TS to become translucent in varing degrees (10, 20%, 30%, 40%, ...). There would be no need for a countless hrs for Dev teams to make individual game standard HUD's. Each person could adjust his Client to his own liking place it over his gaming window and see right thru it with limited interuption.

Thanks for the Insight to see beyond what was right befor my eyes.

Well,

we have thought of this, but there are various problems with it. It problematic keeping *any* window over OpenGL/DirectX (which is basicly what you will get in gaming situations) windows, basicly we would have to end up hacking the 3D libaries, and even that isnt supposed to guarantee success, but rather to come up with more problems than its worth. Im just recalling this from a discussion at the TS Team Meeting....

Ah sorry I mistook what you wrote as to be asking for the ability to login invisible and "spy" on your members not asking for a HUD.

I have been playing around with C++ and the DIrectX_SDK in order to try and do a basic game transparent overlay type thing but....... Unfortuneately you will most likely have to colaberate with the game developers or hack the game in order to do this with any consistancy.

Best thing to do is to send an E-Mail to the game developers and ask that in the future they might add some features that could accomodate a TeamSpeak HUD add-in type thing.

I still plan on toying with it.
