Guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I can think of only two small feature additions that I'd like to see, mainly for map makers. A respawn count and respawn points. The respawn count would be nice for making deathmatches that allowed say 3 lives when it is really easy to get killed or for races that encourage you to be careful, but not knock you out of the race just because somebody knocked you upside down one time. The respawn points could be added between checkpoints by the mapmaker to help prevent some of the problems I see with respawns. Also, I'm thinking that it might encourage more instant respawns. Waiting 30 seconds only to respawn in midair aimed at an exploding barrel a few times gets old pretty fast. The interface tweaks I'd like to see would be adding the map's name and number of respawns either on screen all the time, in the tab display, or in a splash screen while the start coundown is running. My preference would be on screen all the time, but others may differ. Keep up the great job guys! Link to comment
Si|ent Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I suggested respawn points shortly after the release of v 1 (and respawn before that!) but I guess it was viewed as too much work to be worthwhile as the team went with the less versatile last checkpoint system. I like the idea of a limited number of respawns. EDIT: Maps name was also requested some time ago, to be shown in the scoreboard along with server info. Link to comment
