    I don't know if this is already the case, but I am 99.9% it isn't because I did press all the F buttons and nothing happened.

    I sometimes find it annoying to not be able to screenshot someone doing something without mousing over, which is incredibly awkward when someone is strafing around (fast) with their cheats. If there was a button that would allow for enemy names to be shown, it would be really helpful for bans.

    Also, it can also be helpful to see who you're fighting - if you know 2 knights are on enemy team, you know one is pretty shit and the other is pro, you don't wanna 1v1 the pro so much as the shit.

    Besides of this being totally unfair, screenshots don't count as proof when you want to report a hacker. Also I'm most certain that there have been a couple of suggestions already which covered this aspect.

    I'll check that out later though.

    Why would it be unfair?

    Also, I did have a quick scan through and didn't find anything. It was a very long list and I didn't have much time, however, so there is a (small) chance I may have missed something.

    I was going to say "go go options and enable teammate names"

    Then I saw "enemy team players"

    Then I realized you're a shitter

    Remember how in classic you could mouse over players and see them when in tunnels?

    Yeah. Fuck that.

    It would work a lot better if it was an admin option only. Of course, if an admin starts finding you in your tunnels a lot, you may have to tell someone...

    You should add something like a vote to allow everyone to see names for 5 seconds or something liek that so they can report the hacker

    Transparent foliage texture, anyone?
     
  12. Hmm, if you know who the hacker is, maybe there can be an option on the settings where it enables you to see one player's name in the other team. That way, you can prove they are hacking without revealing every one else.
