Buddylist - Add yourself

Post by [JiF]Brick »

Hey Guys:

Many may be aware of the buddy list function where you can add other players to the list and they will show up in green on the map and displays.

For those who are not, this is cool if you add yourself.
You then see yourself highlighted in green in maps, kill/die status messages, and the scoreboard.

Below is an excerpt from a an old FAQ for console command instructions.

I think there is also a way to do it through the game menus too.
The opposite command for add buddy AB, is remove buddy RB.

Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------
To make things less confusing (not that they really are already), here are the
simple steps to add a buddy list:

1. Look at the scoreboard. With the addition of the 1.4 patch, every player has
a number by their name. Look at the number of the player or players that you
want to add to your list. Let's pretend the player is #24.
2. Type in "AB 24" without the quotes in your console (the ~ key). Again, 24 is
just an example. The number is the number of the player that you find when you
type LP in the console.

The player will turn green on your map, minimap, and in game if he's on your
team. His messages will also be green, as well as when he kills or gets killed.
This is a pretty cool feature, and especially useful if you are playing a game
with a friend and you want to stay with him, since the maps are so huge.

looks like america needs a lil longer to figure out some stuff:-)
(i think WT has been the first guy in my buddy list and that when i started playing online bout 3 years ago) but still thx for the update there might be some other players that are a lil slow on that stuff:-)




ps: when i set up zougas quick connect to the game, trophy told me he had been using this short cut for 2 years:-( looks like even in germany we need a lil longer
If we make prisons a living hell for them, then we might just be sending out devils once they are released. Cruel methods to achieve discipline are a thing of the past! So, keep on dancing! Byron F. Garcia.
