New map format, vwep, leaning and downloads.
W00t.

This may not be overly important but i always thought a kill cam would be cool. So after you got shot while you are eliminated you can see a replay from the point of view of the person who shot you and see how they killed you. This is a feature in Call of Duty multiplayer. I think this would help newer players learn how to become better by seeing the pros shoot them. They then could learn new moves and their own mistakes. This would probobly have to be a server option because if you are playing on the those quickspawn servers there would not be enough time to watch the replay before you respawned. There would also probobly need to be an option so you can turn it off for those people who do not want to watch the replay. Again, i do not think this is overly important, but i think it would be pretty cool. What do you think?

i think faster downloading, a new menu, a few newer sounds, a vote kick and getting rid of the players arms when you cam a person in the in-eye view would be most neccesary.

Hi these are my vote/suggestions

- Fast map and texture download
- Maybe map pack... ( Some map misses a lot of texturess so a pack will contain them.)
- Ingame chat room to set up some clan matches or wait for your friends...
- Sort buttons into the server list. Like when you click players the server will the more player in it will be at the top. ...

- Channels or thing like that... Germans with germans spanish with spanish....
- High res textures
- New loading screen. Kinda ugly and stay there when you dont have the map...

- Selective fields ( dont need to leave the mouse in the rectangle...

P.s what is the +/- under or name into the forums

Thanks !

Already done with xfire. You can chat ingame with your friends etc. For clan matches there is IRC (irc://irc.globalgamerscenter.net/paintball -- www.globalgamerscenter.net)

I think you can sort the servers with the server browser that's included with the newer builds.

What do you mean by "channels"? Like channels to chat or to match?

It's the users' karma.

Cobo: I'm just going to put your suggestions as a vote for the new map format, since that's basically what's required to do all that.

nightryder: I like the idea of a kill cam. It might be a challenge to implement it without breaking a bunch of stuff, but I think it has some interesting potential. What would you want in the new menu?

oli887: Map packs are already available from the files page. I'm not sure what you mean by the "channels" request. A new loading image has already been made for build 17. Good call on the edit field thing. It was never really intended to require the mouse to hover over it, but I had to move on. It's always kind of bugged me the way it is and I need to go back and fix it at some point.

oli887 · « **Reply #67 on:** February 26, 2007, 06:55:25 PM »

I took this idea from Diablo 2

There is channels like Usa west Usa east Canada asia.... We can have these for paintball but like Germans Spanish French..... Dunno if you will understand

Eiii · « **Reply #68 on:** February 26, 2007, 08:45:09 PM »

Those are chat channels. Paintball2 doesn't have a chat. And I don't see what the point would be to segregate the servers like that, it would just limit the number of servers anyone would see at a given time. It doesn't matter where the server is, anyway. What matters is how you're pinging to it.

jitspoe · « **Reply #69 on:** February 26, 2007, 10:52:20 PM »

Another vote (I'll tally later): option in the standalone serverbrowser to poll servers periodically and alert me when a decent map is actually on so I can play (map notifications would be user selectable).

Make that 3 votes:

- Central server for mapinfo files so newly released maps can have appropriate support in map rotations/voting (without the server admins having to deal with the mapinfo files).
- Allow any map supporting 1-flag mode to also work with PONG.

SkateR · « **Reply #70 on:** February 26, 2007, 11:05:29 PM »

Sharp Turns
Wall jumping
Dashing

Cobo · « **Reply #71 on:** February 26, 2007, 11:09:39 PM »

And change the name of the game to Paintsow.

Eiii · « **Reply #72 on:** February 26, 2007, 11:13:56 PM »

Haha, Cobo+.

Meanwhile, I agree with what Cobo is saying. If you want that stuff, play Warsow.

i was thinking maybe an easier way to find a server when in game. so if you want to join a server there can be a menu where you can type the server name or ip and password into a box and then just click join instead of having to do that through allseeing eye or the console. Also, if the names of maps and demos were alphabetized or organized a little better it would help.

Eiii · « **Reply #74 on:** February 26, 2007, 11:32:57 PM »

The current way is plenty easy. And it might be hard to get all the [s and =s and -s and *s and $s right.

nightryder · « **Reply #75 on:** February 26, 2007, 11:40:07 PM »

im just saying if you're trying to connect to a server with a friend and you can't find it on the list it can be frustrating. Plus, i know alot of noobs (including myself) that could not figure out how to connect to a match server.

One step ahead of you: Clicky

I also have a join menu where you can enter the IP and password to connect. I'll put that one up tomorrow.

SkateR · « **Reply #77 on:** February 27, 2007, 12:02:02 AM »

Make walljumping and sharp turns server side
