Just indicate on which check point(cp) you are in overlay entities
Sometimes you can miss cp and rarely times not sure is you got cp or not

The cp indicator would be possible with the ddnet character HMH coded, not sure when and if it will be in the official release. Also the problem just moved from how to get the information to the client to how to display the information (where, when, do we really need this information, and so on).

What should the gun indicator do?

The cp indicator seems like an useful feature, would actually like to see my current cp-number.
But as timakro already said, it might be a problem to display the information. Just another number on the screen is confusing for most users.

The gun indicator for ddrace is hard to implement, as written in the linked thread. But for the number of bullets in vanilla games, it should be a nice and simple to add feature .__. Don't know if you can seperate the display based on mod though.

Can someone make like an example screen for where these numbers and indicators would appear if they were implemented just to make a more visual representation

Would make it easier for some of the people to understand what it would be like if they were there and can make a decision if its going to be "ugly", "in the way" based on that?

HMH already implemented a display in the HUD that shows which weapons you have and which one is selected using the ddnet character I talked about, Soreu linked a post about it.

There shouldn't be maps where you need a CP indicator ...
Try to make the map intuitive or challenging in an interesting way and not dumb confusing with many weird cp tele...
