ATG UI

ATG UI governs four things a server owner would otherwise have no way to set: how far nametags are drawn, what the killfeed tells players, which notifications appear, and what the server says to a player when they arrive. It draws almost nothing of its own. Every other surface it touches is one the base game already has - the mod decides what those surfaces are configured to do, and pushes that decision to every client so all of them agree. NAMETAGS Three independent distances: the player's name, the group callsign line beneath it, and what is drawn while looking through optics. The group line is normally far shorter than the name - it answers who is beside you, not who is across the valley. 500 metres is the engine's own ceiling. These are server settings and are deliberately not offered to players. KILLFEED What the feed shows at all, whose deaths a player is shown, and whether a friendly kill is shown in full anyway. Deaths of AI characters never appear for anyone. A Game Master can change all three live from the editor attributes. NOTIFICATIONS Whether the server announces that a player has joined. Game Master and administrator rights announcements are dropped outright - on a server that logs its staff in automatically, those fire on every join and tell players nothing they need. CARDS AND THE MESSAGE OF THE DAY A card is a titled dialog with a body, an optional picture and an optional Continue button. You write them in the settings file, each under a key of your own choosing, and the server shows one when it has something to say. The mod ships no cards, so nothing appears until you write one. The message of the day is the card matching what the server is currently doing. With nothing supplying that it is the card keyed 'default'; ATG Scenario supplies 'combat' and 'narrative' and the message follows the mode. A player sees it once after their first spawn, and again whenever the server changes what it is doing. It does not block the spawn and nothing is rec...
