Desires for Build 17?

+1 for faster downloads.

I'd like to see maybe some sort of mirror system for downloading new maps. When downloading in game it tends to be very slow. Switching to a web browser and downloading the mission map tends to save a lot of time.
It would be nice if the client could automaticly check a server if the missing map is there and download it that way instead of pulling from the game server. Bonus points if the server can tell the client where to look first like in the case of a custom map or one in testing that wouldn't be on some main site.

I know this might not be a big thing but in matches it might be a 3v3 and we have 8 people on in the match.  Typing specinvite 1, specinvite 2, etc etc is hard.  some way to type specinvite 1 2 7 8 0 to spec all.  Same with ignore cuz sometimes i want to play in peace or ignore the other team.  ignore 0 3 5 6 to igonore all those players numbers.  Also is the game going to have screenshots at random times? i suspect lots of people of using modified balls,textures, people and such.

nothing vinne nothing.  some ppl do some stupid stuff in dp that is hacking.

Did Vinne remove a post...?

[Xsv-Boy]

ya eiii he did. he asked sumthing like what is modifying pballs.  Vinne, let me say sumthing to ya.  Asking a question them removing the post doesn't make people think you didn't ask it. seriously man, dont remove post so people dont see you ask questions.

I think I may have already added a "specinvite all" command to the next version, or maybe it was "ignore all".  That's a good idea, though.  I'll try to slip it in at some point.  You may need to remind me again later.

Jits, do you have a changelog or something we can checkout while we're waiting for b17?
one that says things like the "ignore all" function was added? It'd be nice to know of all these updates added to the game.

Dunno if this has been mentioned or not but you should have a command to take away chat msgs all together.

[P!nk]

Yeah, that's been said before, they were thinking of an ignore all command. Also, if you could ignore certain teams it would be helpful as well, such as in matches where the other clan is wanting to be uber spamming asshats when you're trying to give your clan recon.

should show when someone changes their name

[jitspoe]

Depending on how the login system is set up, people may not be able to change their name in-game.

There's actually already a setting to display name changes, but I disabled it by default, because whenever newbies are editing their names, it floods the console with name changes.

just out of curiosity, how will the improved cheat detection be able to detect modified textures, like how is the server going to check if the blue male skin is a certain shade of blue or not...if there isnt already an asnwer i would go about setting a default file size because the size of a skin/gun/pball shouldnt differ from the originals made by jits

[Eiii]

It's not going to check the shade, or individual colors, it'll test if the client's version matches the server's. I believe.

jits please remove the votes of the persons whose wish has already been finished, so they can vote for the next-most-important thing, thanks.

This thread serves no purpose now.  I'll start a new thread for build 18 requests when the time comes.
