Question: OpenJK Client changes + Other servers = ?

[Akimoto]

If I were to get a copy of the OpenJK, compile it and run it - would I be able to join all servers? 
Let me ... add to the question. Could I theoretically add hovering health bars on all players, and join other servers? Not that I would do such a thing, that would be unfair... 

I just want to know if this would be possible. <.<

[Xycaleth]

Yes and yes

[Akimoto]

sv_pure exists for a reason.

 

Hovering health bars aren't really possible anyway since that information isn't networked to the client (for good reason).

[Xycaleth]

Health is transmitted in an event when the player gets hit

That would be accurate for duels or when the player is outside of PVS. But when a random player enters your PVS, you have no idea what his health is until you hit him.

There are many things I would like to learn. Such as interacting with JKA - Making a kill tracker, for example. (Cmon, how difficult is it to add 1 every time you (the player) get's a kill?!)
I would also like to see player names above the players, instead of when aiming at them.

Making a kill tracker is pretty easy. From what I understand, all you gotta do is change one of the PERS_ fields to be like PERS_KILLS, and then add one each time you kill something. It'll be updated on the client too that way.

 

As for names above people, you might want to see how names above NPCs heads work in JKG.

sv_pure exists for a reason.

And can be gotten around just as easily.

I'm sure that 95% of people aren't smart enough to get around it.
