HUD speed and distance display hacks
Would it be possible to change the HUD so that it displays the player's speed and distance to targets multiplied by something?

As in setting the multiplier to 10 so the player sees 1500 on the display when he/she is going 150 m/s and is 40000 when he/she is 4000 meters away from the targeted object.

I'd make this little experiment if these hacks are doable.

I believe this has been done, or at least attempted before by scripting so it might be worth hunting around that sub-board

One of those doesn't work, speed multiplier I do believe, unless it's since been fixed.

Zacam as of January '11 told me it was broken, and what we needed for the distance modifier to be capable of displaying
hundredths probably wasn't going to be possible.

This is yet another thing I'm going to have to update our feature request list with...

Well I'll play around with it, maybe I'll get it to work but the display will show with 10 m resolution or something....
