Official Feature Vote of 2007

[KiLo]

you meant: "vote to proceed to next map"

Hmm....Thought this was already on the list. I know vote kick is.


I just took a look at the ban list and was wondering if it would be too hard to sort it. I was thinking like number of days left on the ban starting with the lowest.

[webhead]

umm ... from someone else? don't think so... i just read the whole thing but i didn't see it.

ALSO, vote me for wiki bans!

'Weapon and item auto switching'? If you mean 'automatically pick up weapons that are better than your current gun', I'm going to have to futilely counter-vote that.

Same here
Sucks to be having to throw the weapon away all the time when you are trying to have pgp already.

[Apocalypse]

Add me to ability to add clan tags to player models.

[skitzo]

Skitzo: Here is a hint. Open your eyes. If you do not have any eyes, get a better slave/TTS program.

i don't think thats what it means?

when i read it i thought it was for like, being able to hold more than one weapon at a time.

Like lets say if you press (1) you get the pgp, if you press (2) you get the auto cocker and etc.

Your idea would pick up all weapons.  He is referring to weapons better than yours, and since it doesn't sound like a complete redesign, I'm betting he means it just drops your current.

Rut roh!  Exceeded the maximum post length limit.

webhead: If you have your mouse drivers set up so your buttons do things other than be mouse buttons (like close windows, open the start menu, etc), then yes, they will interfere with use in the game.  They will register as those functions, not as mouse buttons.

KiLo: The ban list is currently sorted by most recently modified.  I prefer to have the longer bans at the top to make it a bit more intimidating.  Having the lowest ban times at the top may lead people to believe ban times are not very long, since there would probably be a bunch with just 1-2 days right at the top.

capo: I tried to make the profile more user friendly in build 19.  Do you have any specific suggestions for improvement?

'Weapon and item auto switching'? If you mean 'automatically pick up weapons that are better than your current gun', I'm going to have to futilely counter-vote that.

Why?  I think that would help a lot with the new players who have no clue which guns are better than others, or don't know what key to press to drop a gun, etc.  Walk over a better gun, and bam, you've got it.

Same here
Sucks to be having to throw the weapon away all the time when you are trying to have pgp already.

Of course, it would be client configurable as to which gun is "better", so if you wanted the PGP to be your preferred gun, you could put that at the top of your list and it wouldn't pick up other guns.  Sounds almost like this is a vote for that system.

[webhead]

you can take off my "more screen resolution options".

[Eiii]

I think there should be a 'don't automatically pick up guns when holding a PGP cmd', but the auto-weapon-dropping just makes things a bit too easy, imo. Why don't we have automatic firing for new players who don't know what team they're on?

EDIT: That's pretty darn rude, webhead. Preeeeeeetty rude.

Happy 3,000th.  I don't mind if we add the auto pickup.. it'd just make it like every other FPS.  Besides, the pros wouldn't need it and thus would never use it.

At first I agreed with Eii about not even putting that in the game. But if there is a toggle option, or configuration for it, that would be awesome. So add me to that as long as it is configurable.

I assume that would be defined in a file, and usually, I dont choose what gun I'm preferring before I load PB2.
