Title: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: webhead on January 29, 2008, 02:46:29 AM

just an idea... but it would be nice to know, when i'm priming a nade, how close it is to exploding in my hand. :-\

Agree'd. We don't have room for it, anyway.

Don't do it.  If you're gonna be throwing grenades you should be able to learn the little amount of skill it requires for timing it right.  Just play and learn like the rest of us have had to do.

umm...
YES SIR. (salutes)
:P

like i said, it's just an idea. it's also something that's not unheard of - many games out there will show you meters for stuff, whether it be grenades or not.
so yes, i could do without it... but seriously, what's so wrong with it that you feel compelled to condemn me just for thinking of it?

wait a sec. Are you saying that when you right click or whatever, you can cook a grenade? mine just throws it straight away. Or am I completely mistaken?

Depends on what you bind your right mouse button to. If you put it on "Prime/Throw Grenade", then you can prime it by holding down the button, and it will throw when you release it. That is, if you don't hold it down so long that it explodes on you. ;)

"+tossgren" primes a grenade (and throws it when you release the button)
"tossgren" throws a grenade (timed or impact, depending on the server setting)
"tossgren timed" throws a timed grenade on any server
"tossgren impact" throws an impact grenade, but only on servers with gren_explodeonimpact 1 set.

Really all you need bound is +tossgren and tossgren.  If you want to throw a timed grenade, you can just quickly press and release +tossgren.  If the server has impact grenades inabled, you can just use tossgren, and it's an impact grenade by default.

would be cool, but like mentioned, totally takes away the surprise ending.

ah well then we could make it REALLY subtle and hard to see ;D

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: i_am_a_pirate on February 21, 2008, 02:41:49 PM

Lol :D.
I was just wondering, what do people have their prime grenade bound to and what do they have their throw impact grenade bound to? Because it's flippin hard to throw any grenade with anything apart from right-click.

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: Henkka on February 21, 2008, 03:17:26 PM

I have it in right-click.

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: i_am_a_pirate on February 21, 2008, 03:27:38 PM

Yeah, but which one? The priming one, the impact one, the timed one?

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: webhead on February 21, 2008, 04:44:31 PM

i believe my prime grenade is on my right-click and my impact nade is on the I key. not the greatest, i know.

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: i_am_a_pirate on February 23, 2008, 07:36:04 AM

hmm, a bit hard to jump and throw, then, using the impact gren.

Buy a mouse with more buttons. Solves the issue.

I have a G5 :) but just havent done the key binding yet. dunno why.

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: i_am_a_pirate on February 24, 2008, 02:50:58 PM

Yeah, i would use the middle button, apart from it resets all of the display settings when i press it. Really annoying in the middle of a firefight in the elimination zone of midnight2  :D

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: webhead on February 24, 2008, 04:39:06 PM

hmm ... set your middle button to "Generic button" and that should fix it ... if it's doing what i think it is.

thanks, I'll try it at home and update this post if no one posts after me

yeah, i bind various grenade buttons to the many extra mouse buttons you get on a PROPER mouse

A PROPER mouse is exactly what you need for a PROPER clan (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=2001.0).

quite so.

Sir, I see you are a distinguished gentleman, one deserving of a _PROPER_ clan. As such, I am inclined to offer you one. I go so far as to invite you to my country manor for a spot of tea and a rousing game of horseshoe.

Yes, but when you're a casual player that wants to get a bit better, you don't have to spend £50 on a mouse with 70 buttons on it.

Title: Re: Feature: Grenade-priming progress bar
Post by: webhead on February 29, 2008, 04:03:40 AM

thats cheap for 70 buttons, i bet it hangs off the mousepad!

ANYWAY, back on topic, -1 on the priming preogress bar, it takes away the fun of seeing someone blow themselves up
