Would it be possible to create a mod that marks the last known location of tanks?

Say the server sez to my client "cant see tank X as of now" the mod leaves the icon where it sits as a purple icon... Then when the info on its position updates the purple one disappears and the proper one is shown?

Help with remembering whats where... "Was that T95 around this corner or the next?.....

Probably not, and if it was it'd probably be declared a cheat

Good idea, but no. The server doesn't allow you to access this information at all. It completely blocks the opportunity to do this. You would need a computer with a tank on the other team for this to be possible.

Would probably require a server hack to get it working if that information isn't "public"

Why would you ask for this? That is, in simple terms, cheating. It really isn't difficult to remember where a tank was located. Practice doing just that and you will get better at it.

He doesn't want a see all hack, he simply wants a marker where a tank was last seen. A memory aid. Nothing wrong with that, other memory aids are already in game, hit skins for instance

^^ what he said - More of an automated notepad to say "Tiger last at A6"

Bump for this, are none of you computer geeks good enough to handle this? Just set up the mini map to leave a ghost icon where a tank was when it last appeared on the mini map.
