repeating old request for features

Post by Dwarden »

1. IF player DO not have yet downloaded and installed correct equal map (check by hash CRC32, MD5, SHA-1 w/e) please made his ready box RED and dissalow him to tick READY!

2. Option for NO spectators (disable spectators)

3. When choosing rank for gameplay allow new option (person with 1 rank lower than choosed will get warning but player with 2 or more lower is not allowed to join at all)

that's all for now ... otherwise nice job done over time i was gone ...

1. Only ever a problem with newbs. If you see a one chev tell him; where the map list is. to update it each time. what adress to get maps on if they aren't there. why you need the map before you can play
Otherwise we get a 'the ready button isn't working :o :< sort of replies instead of 'ah you haven't got the map? ill give you a link and tell you how to do it in the future.
In summary. NO
2.LOL. if you don't want specs a: lock b: Password c: kick
seriously O_o
3. o_O thats silly since rank doesn't mean shit. and if you put a 4 chev game up you want it to warn players under 4 chevs o_O
if for example you wanted a more mixed game just don't make a limit at all!
What a silly list O_o

I agree with the first two ones, but not the last. Having games start when someone doesnt have the map sucks. No spec option would also be good.

use search tif find times it was requested
since lobby exist including these above ... or just try host high player number servers ...

....
doing something a lot of times doesn't make it right. The noobs complain, then they realise its not needed and it dies. Then another noob picks up the ball and runs... -.-
I picked holes in your post. you said that my post was silly because what you'd said is what has been said before. I ask you, do you really think no one else has used the words and phrases you are using now? how original is original? and how noob are you -.-*

no reason to be such a troll about it mini, they're all fair enough suggestions to adress annoying problems that every host has from time to time.

It can't be a very hard thing to code, and it would save alot of hassle for the host.

I wasn't trying to stand up for the argument or anything I was just commenting on your way of commenting on suggestions with stuff thats besides the point.

but fine have it your way,

1. only a problem with noobs, and in pt3 you're against a measure to actually stop noobs from joining.
besides its not only a problem with noobs anyway it can happen by accident and this would save a restart.

2. its annoying if you want players and not spectators to constantly have to kick them when they join, this would fix that. locking if only an option when the games full, and password only if you play with people you know.

3. rank doesn't have to mean anything, but it often does especially for the lowest two.
And the way the limits work now low ranks often still join and the ones that still join after the warning are usually jerks who get offended when asked to leave and keep coming back or some shit.
Not all low ranks are necesarilly bad or jerks, but I can see how someone would want a good way of keeping them out.

Not allowing a person to rdy up without the map is a good idea. and altaclient has that already. I don't see a reason why people would be aggainst such an feature.

Blocking spectators is silly, becouse you can lock the battle.
Also, technicly, all players join as a spectator and then they are synced, they becomes players. (I may be wrong on this, correct me if I am)
So the only way to block specs would be to disable the "spec" option box.

People 1 are 1 rank to low a warning, and more then that not able to join? what value does this add?
If you set a rank limit, you expect nobody under the limit to play. And if they join (altaclient gives a warning) you have all right to kick them (altaclient has a autokick option).

And min3mat, at least try to be a little more subtle ;)

note: if you don't know what altaclient is, check here: http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3429

yes! go play with your fellow noobs on altaclient!
i mean how many games have i had 'ruined' by ppl not having the map?
I ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE IT if they are low ranks. ffs its not exactly hard
don't want low ranks in your battles because they are acting like jerks? password it. or kick them (if they are spec /kick) and lock
you really don't need these features. i want a shinier client not a sillier one :(
difficult for hosts bruce?
you have to move....that...finger...click....at...least....3...times... *cough* i don't think i can *cough* make it.... go on without me ;.; *tearful goodbye*

my 2 cents:

- code a no spec option in host mode, so players cannot click spectator option
- map checks can be handy but not truly nessesary

+1 another cent:

- a rank limit is a rank limit, period.

last cent:

- everything that will make hosting a game easier and faster should be done (in the way you like to host it, specs or not, limit ranges on ranks or units, xperience sliders, gamespeed, etc.). Things do work mostly for now, but if this can be done with less hassle and trouble and kicking and locking, and opening, and kicking and locking, than it should be made! I'll try to work on the shiny factor then, okey?!
