Game mode help popup #157

Open dany-on-demand opened 9 years ago

This is how it will look like:

Mode .lua will probably get a hook to return the text.

Would complement a new GUI system.

Has nothing to do with #156 as it is currently described. Separate settings for "show next time" per gamemode should be used, as the how-to-play may vary drastically. Something like "skip_gamemode_help": ["ctf", "tdm"]. There could be a skip_gamemode_help_all setting to bypass all of them or something, or maybe a generic skip_tutorial_prompts to skip every and all help prompts if we should choose to add more than these.

Other than that, this would be a useful thing to have. I think we discussed briefly on IRC before having a team/gun selection screen on join instead of being forced into a random team. This would likely go before that (perhaps a server MOTD image before that). A new GUI system first would be best though, yeah. How soon anyone will work on that though, I'm not sure.
