Is anyone aware of a way to manipulate the scoreboard's visuals, such as adding an icon to or around a player (the same way it does for Friends)? I think it would be useful to be able to put some sort of marker around the names for admins so players can know who to bother if there are issues while they are playing. Thanks!

As far as I know, the HUD is managed on client side only and can't be manipulated with server mods.

I second that.

The closest you can get it catching +scoreboard and maybe showing an overlay, but you won't be able to position the overlay on the fly.

Even I have tried manipulating the scores for teams but could not do so. Being client side it is not possible I guess.

/**

 * Note: This native should not be called before OnMapStart.
 *
 * @param index                Team index.
 * @param value                New score value.
 * @return                Score.
 * @error                Invalid team index.
 */
native SetTeamScore(index, value);

?

Anyway, thanks for the info guys.

The score value given using SetTeamScore does not get reflected on the Scoreboard. I have posted queries in this regard earlier!

TF2 appears to use the the gamestats system for the scoreboard info. Setting the player's frags/deaths (which is the usual way of changing the score for other mods) doesn't work in TF2 because of the way the scoring is setup.

Yeah I have already ran into that issue previously with The Hunted. With this I was wanting to add a border around the names of Admins, not change score or anything at all like that.

Any other ideas for some way to "highlight" certain player names on the scoreboard?
