Hi, I found that client miss this important feature.
I know that I can look for name of other players pressing TAB in chat, but if I press TAB once more it's not possible go in reverse order.
In many games it is possible just pressing SHIFT+TAB.
It could be very usefull when up to 64 people are connected to the server. Infact I personally press TAB rapidly to find a name, but too many times i go over and need to list all names again.
This would be a really nice feature!

Well, I'm pretty sure it would be possible but really difficult to implement.
For now you can simply write a few letters of the name and then press TAB for auto completion, so you don't have to tab through all names :3

I think it is possible, something like:

Code: Select all

if(Event.m_Flags&IInput::FLAG_PRESS && Event.m_Key == KEY_LSHIFT)
{
	completion_order_positive = false;
}
else if(Event.m_Flags&IInput::FLAG_RELEASE && Event.m_Key == KEY_LSHIFT)
{
	completion_order_positive = true;
}
I'll try...
