Player tab summary text #1105

Open Blackmoor opened 10 years ago

Blackmoor commented 10 years ago

Feature request - as well as the current ability to show pile size and counter value, could the code also parse the string as the name of a player's global variable and show that value.

i.e. if each player had a global variable called 'character' and I called me.setGlobalVariable('character', 'Lini') I might see 'Blackmoor (Lini) Hand 5 Deck 10' if I used the definition player summary="{#character] Hand [#Hand] Deck {#Deck}"

yeah the counter label as a whole could be fleshed out a lot better

I guess an option to replace my login name with a different name would do the trick for me.

Tried to work on this, was a pain in the ass...requires funky bindings.

If this is not easy - a simple solution for me would be to allow the player to change their nickname when joining or hosting a game. You allow this for lan games, so how about allowing it for wan games too?

The username is used for more than aesthetics in online games so I can't.
