Retrieving datas ingame

[mu-cki]

If was asking myself, if it is possible to get live-datas from the database and implent them into a map...

for example a 'map-scoreboard' which shows the current 3 ranks in the top (also physic depending). Or also to get informations from the db generally.

I guess there is no way, isnt it?

If not, i will add this to the wishlist.

I know it's definitely possible, but I don't know if it's possible with the current q3/df

you could write a patch

So you want to display some ranking information within the map itself? Like a board pinned to a wall?

That... is extremely hard. To do this the mapper has to depine a spot for the scoreboard to appear. And defrag has to get the data from the server trough infostrings or servercommands.
Then defrag has to draw a texture over that spot manually. Iirc there is a "draw custom polygon"-syscall that can be textured.

I guess it's possible but it would require unprecedented cooperation beween defrag developers, mappers and those who run the database(us).

Not worth the effort.
Not very likely to happen.

I would work on this if other people are too, I don't see why it's not worth the effort.
