>:( if u guys removee funname
its gonna suck because people wont notice whos on because its all whit funnames capture peoples attention quicker an we know whos chatting while we can pay more attention to the game im my honest opinion it would be idiotic to remove funname
Thats exactly the problem with funnames, they are too distracting, DP2 is not an IM.

Well, I already did that myself, option to disable funnames with a cvar called "cl_funnames". Altough it was kind of buggy, like, it showed the funname in chasecam.

You ought to post your cl_funnames script...
Its not a script, its a change to the source code.

NOTE: I noticed a couple of things that we already have that are on the list.
          1. Places to enter IP and password in the join game menu. - Zorch's menus have this.
          2. Flashing flags on the hud. - again, Zorch has created this already.
Right, but you have to download Zorch's menus to get those features.  Stuff that gets enough votes will be added to the official releases and be immediately available to everybody.

in game communication for match servers(your team only).
I assume you mean voice communication?  I'll put you down for voip.

Shadow: Sounds like you want variable pointers or references, almost.  What do you need all that for?  This is a game, not an advanced scripting language.  I'd like to keep scripting capabilities simple so they don't get abused.  Try playing Jedi Academy online and you'll see how scripting can be abused.  It's really annoying.

I did notice a bug, though:
Code: [Select]
set a b
echo $$$a
should echo $b, but instead it echos $$a.  Maybe fixing that would get what you want?

I've increased the buffer to 32k.  If you're going beyond that, then you're not doing something right or you're going way beyond what the game is designed to do.  I'm not going to kick it up to 2MB -- that's just a waste of memory.  Some people play this game on old computers and don't have 2 megs to spare.

nofearvladi: I assume you mean map downloading, because the map loading is almost instant on any kind of decent computer.  There's already a crouch option, and with as much as people fly around in this game, going prone would just give you more overall surface area to hit.

I'll throw a new vote up as well:
 - PNG support

This would mostly be a developer convenience thing since some editors *cough*Gimp*cough* don't support 32 bit TGA's correctly.

My bad.  I must have gotten kNoC and KiLo confused.  Both 4-letter K-words with alternating caps. :)  I'll add it in the next tally.

Also missed P!nk's vote for better 3D audio.  *sigh*.  I think I need a way to automate this.

I just thought of something. How about displaying the map name and game mode at the beginning of each match (in those few seconds before the game actually starts) or during the "Loading" screen? I don't mean a picture or anything, just text. And it would help to be 2x the size for that.

How about the map name, author, and game mode displayed somewhere on the screen.....

That's essentially what Zorch asked except you want the author too, which is unnecessary.

There is no way to put get the author of a map, unless you use the message you get when you load a map.

Add a key to the worldspawn? Like "author" "name". That could come with the new map format. :)

Great question Shadow.

This is a want more than a need.  The whole idea of this thread is to get ideas out there, that spawn more ideas, that spawn great changes to the game.
