Rank Plugin?

[Guest Shrike]

Hey all,

 

I was wondering how does one get that (rank) in front of your name? Is this a one time thing, or does it get autoupdated??

 

eg. Shrike (50)

 

 

Someone told me that its a special plugin...is that true?

 

thanks much!

welcome to the forums. dunno if i understand your question.

 

if you're in game and type "stats" in chat, some servers will spit out your current stats, rankings, etc. we don't have that running on our server. it's just another thing to slow the server down and take away from teamplay.

 

if that's your question, it is a special plugin, but can only be installed on the sever (and NOT on your end).

I think I know what you referring to.

 

Do you mean the rank in the sidebar by a member that shows their rank (army)?

 

I believe this is earned through posting. Below 100 posts you are ranked civilian, 100 private, then upwards. I don't know exactly how many posts promotes you, but I think this is how it works.

Actually what I mean t was - in CSS when you are playing , you have your name displayed at the bottom eg. Shrike, Stuttering John, Assassinator etc.

 

However some people have their names displayed as Shrike(100), John(51) etc. where the number in the () is their current rank.

 

I have also seen this rank being updated automatically while they play!

 

So I was wondering how one does that...

 

 

thanks!!
