Official Feature Vote of 2007

[Sharp]

Really? I assumed new weapons would mean new characteristics? If not then not really much point since new weapon visuals would just delay b17 longer.

[jitspoe]

They all shoot paintballs.  The 8 guns already present cover just about every characteristic you can have for shooting paintballs.  Anything more would just make it confusing for new players.

[Waggot]

I don't think new guns are really necessary for the new build. It wouldn't make it more confusing, it's just not needed. The guns now are fine.

new weapons is stupid though, vwep and faster downloads are what we really want.

[PiCaSSo]

Command to change crosshair color and message text color in game via console...

1: Places to enter IP and password in the join game menu. - nightryder
1: Alphabetize map and demo names - nightryder

Nightryder, I have 2 menus that will solve those problems. I attached them below. Just unzip it into your \painitball2\pball folder.

[{appy Hamper]

I vote for the new map format with the supported game types (CTF, siege...)

I would also love to have a working swear filter.  Customizable would be preferred - where you can enter x=y, for whatever you want edited - but a general blocker would be an improvement.

[T3RR0R15T]

1 BIG vote goes to:

Comine the GLS with the loginpassword (oppass) of the PB-Servers.
So i can add the loginpasswords from each server i have at a page in my GLS-Acc and than i will be logged in at the server automatically if i connect.

[b00nlander]

@T3RR0R15T:
I guess it would be easier if the server admins simply could assign a login-level to a global login, but I also think this could be quite helpful.

[Zorchenhimer]

Apparently demos are not started when you join a different server (it just stops recording the current one). So how about a more complete auto record system that stops a demo when you leave a server, and starts a new one when you join a server.

[jitspoe]

Zorch: Autorecord is currently done on the server side, so should I put you down for a client-side auto record system?

[Zorchenhimer]

Yea. I'm the only one with the auto recording client/server in my dorm, so it would be nice.

[jitspoe]

- Tie the wiki into the global login system to prevent abuse / spambots.
- Add support for bulleted lists to the wiki.
- Add image uploading functionality to the wiki.
- Fix bug on wiki where 3rd level header sometimes gets merged in with the text instead of being put on a new line.
- Allow angles to be used for func_rotating so s8n can finish his catapult map.

[Clipz]

It would also be cool if you enable the function lasers again

[jitspoe]

- Don't try to download textures if an rscript exists for that texture name.
- Don't load all rscripts for every map -- just the ones that are applicable.
- Download textures required by rscripts.
- Save console command history to a file so when you load the game up again, you can hit the up arrow to get the last typed command.

It would also be cool if you enable the function lasers again

<CoachZ>Where my lazers at?</CoachZ>

[KiLo]

I just looked down the last list you posted. And I agree with XtremeBain that bans should be global login based.
And for unregistered players or people who play as newbie just continue to ban them the old way.

[{appy Hamper]

I vote for a dual wield feature.
maybe only on certain special maps made for intense spraying

[Zorchenhimer]

That would make an insane 4v4 on shattered!

[jitspoe]

Intense lag, you mean?  I don't see how this would do much.  You'd have two guns shooting at the same time at the same place, so about all you'd be doing is wasting paintballs and bandwidth.  It's not like there's health so you'd need to do twice the damage.

[Zorchenhimer]

... Party pooper ...
