Well, I scripted a 5-minute PingHud Wingman's style (didnt use his code).
It is configured to snap-in to Wingman's script (yes, I'm a wingman's script addict), but in-case it doesnt exist it knows how to adjust itself ;)

Linky (right click + save as)

Instructions:
Save the file to game/client/scripts, then add these lines to the main.cs in the main ThinkTanks folder:

                                        

                                        if(!$Server::Dedicated)

                                        exec("game/client/scripts/pinghud.cs");

                                        

PS: I noticed it keeps giving like 40 ping in my own server, while the /ping command gives only 1 or 2. It probably is caused because this is the ping from me to the server, while the /ping command is from the server to me. I'm not sure though. Anyways, it does work so download it now!

Woops! Ty Rep, I'm a bit sleepy, going to bed now too :P

Thanks Ac.

Now I remembered, it MAY not work on macs... Didnt make a compiled version for it... Test it anyways, it might work :)

Btw, only now do I know a good way of doing the script... So thats why I only did it today :P

Gtg sleep! Cyall!

Thank you Art!

WOOT. Been waiting a while for this.

<--- is a Wingman script addict.

Yep, it worked as soon as I installed it Ac, No teething problems at all. It also refreshes as frequently as my FPS.

I seem to have the same issue with the ping being off some.

Found this is the console also:

Game/client/scripts/pinghud.cs (30): Unable to find object: 'ServerConnection' a ttempting to call function 'getPing'

To bad its a.dso

Good you all liked it :)
I'm working on a more complicated project now though... :P

@NUTS
Well, everyone does have the "ping-off" issue... I think its because this way its a client-server ping, instead of a server-client ping. Client has heavier connections to the server than the server to the client, so it might be it.
Did that line keep repeating itself? It shouldnt o.O

EDIT: Check first post for a fix to the exec code, it was caused because "ServerConnection" signals the connection from client to server, and as obvious doesnt exist in a dedicated server, only when you play a game

                                        $pingEn = false;

                                        function startPingDaemon(%this)

                                        {

                                         $pingEn ~= $pingEn;

                                         if ($pingEn)

                                         pingDaemon(%this);

                                        }

                                        function pingDaemon(%this)

                                        {

                                         %ping = ServerConnection.getPing();

                                         clientCmdCenterPrint(%ping, 1, 1);

                                         if ($pingEn)

                                         schedule (100, 0, pingDaemon, %this);

                                        }

                                        moveMap.bind(keyboard,"p",startPingDaemon,%this);

                                        

Something like that?
PS: I checked the TGE code, and guess what? There's a client -side centerPrint code.

Almost nothing equals your script :P
Using variable != variable is only for if statements, and variables must be marked with % or $ (first temporary and second permanent). Theres also no CenterPrint server command ;)
Then, the hardest part of all is putting them into the playgui...

I'll give it another go a bit later.

As for the playGui can't you just pull it out of the game legends? Since it has it owns wingmans script?

I am pretty sure that is not possible as the play gui contains all the other gui info for TT like cp, bp, timer, player names etc etc :[

^ Dazz and I should be sure we were studying that stuff for hours.... You can get a bit from the.dsos though, I do have a bunch of GG source files like centerprint and some of the GG admin stuff I could email it to you if you want.

@testify
call the function like its named, as to use a clientCommand you HAVE to be the server, unless you call the function right away (like clientCmdCenterPrint("hi",4,4); )
