Orbz Added Features

Just finished up some new Orbz features this morning.

Chathud:
From the lobby, you have the option to open/close a static chathud (messages do not fade).

Remap keybinds:
The option to change keybinds has been implemented.

Individual Bot Settings:
Instead of dealing with bots on a group basis, we have gone one step further. Now, the host is able to change which level each bot is at, as well as adjust the auto leveling status of the bot. Auto levelling is when a bot will adjust its level at the end of a match based off its score. Also, the bots level is displayed in the lobby player list.

Looking good Jason!

Naturally, I've got a couple questions...

With the static chat hud, will the messages stay there for the duration you are on the server (whether you play one game, ten games or fifty), or is there a practical limit on the number of lines it will keep?

Is that left/right ball spin something new with the game as well?

Keep it up man... looking forward to seeing more of these plans from you!

The chathud has a message log buffer ($pref variable) that is set to 100 messages by default. Does not matter what server you play on, or how many games you play.

Looks awesome! Especially the individual bots thing. (I hated when the bots were all at one random level). The chat thing is nice too. Keith, i think the left ball spin right ball spin is for the orbz arcade version (just taking a guess since orbz arcade uses the trackball wheel) Anyways, keewp up the incredible work we are all looking forward to whatever else you can come up with!

It would be great to be able to use the left/right ball spin with a trackball on the PC version of Orbz too. I run Orbz on my MAME rig and use the trackball in my controll panel to play the game. It's great! Fantastic job, Jason. Thanks much.
