Server name in Scoreboard Panel

[H0L0theBard]

Adds the server name to the scoreboard replacing the gamemode description

Additionally, this works fine with larger server names

[H0L0theBard]

Just leaving this as a draft if anyone has any suggestions to improve it

fa127aea89b048825bfd55b78b80fd7a9243f1ae is just the vanilla dump Squirrel scripts, right? ^^

[H0L0theBard]

Yeah but with RuiSetString( Hud_GetRui( file.header.gametypeDesc ), "desc", GetConVarString( "ns_server_name" )) instead of the regular way to set gamemode description

[x3Karma]

this seems more useful as a mod though unless you can somehow keep the gamemode description along with the server name.

Maybe make it alternate between the gamemode description, the server name/description somehow?

[H0L0theBard]

I'll test out some stuff to see if I can keep the description and have the server name.

Isn't ns_server_name used for server names ? Meaning with this if I join a server ns_server_name gets updated so it shows the correct server name. After that though if I start a listen server the name will be wrong.

Also if you plan on expanding the amount of information shown using the MATCH GOALS panel could be one way to display the info nicely.

[BobTheBob9]

you could probably just make ns_server_name FCVAR_REPLICATED so it gets updated on server join, though I'm not sure hiding the gamemode description on scoreboard is something we should do

[H0L0theBard]

Yeah that's fair Could potentially put this information in the MATCH GOALS panel like Fifty suggested

[H0L0theBard]

@F1F7Y regarding ns_server_name, it will change back to the value set in the server autoexec when you leave the match. If you proceed to host a listen server after that, it will be correctly set to what is in the autoexec.

@GeckoEidechse was this blocked?.

I intend to do a rework of this and move the info away from the scoreboard panel so that it preserves the ability to see gamemode description.

[BigSpice]

would it be okay to do just doing something like @Capt_Diqhedd 's implementation? https://discord.com/channels/920776187884732556/922663696273125387/1032054583691837450 I could edit it since i have a bit of free time.
