Sleeping emote

[TheZyZya]

Also, should this happen whenever you're afk or only in freeze? How often should it be shown? It's really annoying when it comes every 5 seconds

I guess, it will be better when emote not blinking but always is above tee until he make any move with mouse or press any key. If you think that on screen will be too much different stuff, you can make a button which turn on/off this function

More buttons is even worse!!! Then some people show zZZ when they're afk, some do not and you have no idea if they're afk after all. Actually, people also sometimes aren't long-time afk or pausing, but just don't concentrate on the screen for some moments.

We can't show it all the time, it would just be blinking up every 20ms and everyone would lag because of the higher bandwidth it would cause.

I love that idea <3
The best thing would be to always display the sleeping emote when a player is in /spec or did not do anything for like 30secs while in freeze.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem possible, so you're right deen. Blinking emotes are irritating, 20ms emotes cause lags and there are still many unexpected cases where the sleeping emote doesn't help at all.
So, it's a great suggestion but hard to implement correctly.

what about just add /spec to all servers? if ppl would learn to use them, there would be no problem in hooking someone who... is not there

You know pause was changed becouse you could cheat maps with /spec pause

[Soreu]

maps still can be cheated, and it's still really often used on brutal maps...

Maybe we could add it as a DDNet Client only feature (so we could implement it without taking up too much bandwidth) and make it disabled by default (I mean showing that "zzz" emotes, so it would be possible to not see them, but impossible to not send them)?

Then it would be sensless for many players.

[Soreu]

If there is no way for emote, what about nick color change?

[kamillentee]

I guess that would be really good visible. I think its only possible with ddnet but who cares. Almost all ddracer uses ddnet.
