flopflop. I can only remember Sefidel trying comnaps and failing horribly at it. I'm more annoyed about people transporting their coms and d-gunning stuff in the first minutes of a game.

ill add something to show the hoster in the list and it just sort the display list not the real one

Doesn't it leave you with no options to see the real lis though?

Since when as commdrop-kill-transout been a real problem in team games? A comm that aggressive is a gift from heaven; if a pair of LLTs dont kill it, all you have to do is commbomb, and wham, an extra 5k metal for the remaining members of the team. A pulv or fighter near the wreck site (not a problem since its at the start) takes care of annoying con aircraft trying to reclaim the wreck.

Sefidel's new trick is dropping about thirty Warriors in your base at 15 minutes after doing nothing else but produce them. If you lack the protection/he drops on an air player it can be devastating - but otherwise, it becomes old and ineffectual fast.

why would you want to see the "real list" ?

Hell, a micromanaged Thud or Hammer can do the job, if you recall that one game on Tabula.

The real list determines start positions in a fixed game.

With com + atlas + scout you'll have to spend *way* more resources than the enemy to defend against it. Remember in many maps, placing multiple llts in your base is just a waste and you usually want to use your commander to advance your frontline.

It's a strategy you have to predict and if you don't the game is ended in two minutes, even though it's a 5v5 team game, which is pretty boring.

the question is : to make the interface more clear, should i rename the "team" and "ally team" to something else ? and if yes ... to what ?

ZellSF · Post by **ZellSF** » 15 Aug 2007, 01:31

You really should rename them, though no clue to what.

it's not the team no ?

No. Unless it has been fixed in a recent version.

Ally team -> Team
Team -> Player (or Player ID)

This makes it consistent with Age of Kings, the last game I know of to have similar comm sharing.

Ally team -> Team
Team -> Commander

I like that better, yeah. Commander.

Although, this does make the assumption that you're playing a mod with a commander

PlayerID is... ok. I don't like it, but at least it's not misleading.

because jobjol.com is not available you should get a timeout when hosting, just disable springmark score and system info while im fixing this for the next build

i like your forked lobby. In fact it should be included in next release imo.

ZellSF · Post by **ZellSF** » 22 Aug 2007, 16:49

if you could start fixing some of the interface issues of TASClient, that'd be nice.

i should remove the theme support that's all i should do

edit : i don't have any interface issue

ZellSF · Post by **ZellSF** » 22 Aug 2007, 21:09

Uh, there's *tons* of interface issues in TASClient. None that has much effect on usability, but fixing them still would be nice.
