Menu / Chatting / Dead / Loading signs

[Aeron]

Just like the name + health thingy but an icon ( / text ) by the head if the players are:

Chatting / Typing

In GameMenu / "Pause" ( / CHEATING! )

Dead

Loading

[Aeron]

My topic is to good for reply's?

No, it's not to good to post.

1.) Chatting/Typing

This was several times discussed and i think it will be in future versions.

2.) Ingame Menu

This doesn't mean cheating automatically, what if the person views the map or changes the options?

Maybe the player model should be removed while looking at the map.

3.) Dead

This makes no sense because in future versions, the animations will be in, so you know when somebody is dead.

4.) Loading

I'm not sure, but i think the player model is insert, when the game has loaded already. So there is no need, isn't it

I hope this helped you.

BTW: I'm not sure how it is handled on this board, but on other boards people don't like double-posts. Use 'edit' instead

Disappearing would be an even better way to cheat. But yes, some sort of an indication would be a good idea, maybe just some sort of big red X over the person's head would suffice.

Another idea is for there to be some sort of delay when going in and out of Pause, and/or an automatic death (or disablement alltogether) if you try to Pause while in the process of either shooting someone or being shot at.

I think we all should start poking at the GTAWO people to get their Liberty City update done, because then, instead of a different engine for the two cities, you have both under the same (VC) engine, which would be a big load off the MTA guys' shoulders.

I like Liberty City alot, but the difference in the engines (meaning the actual physics...the lack of choppers and bikes makes no difference to me) makes it unenjoyable now that I've played Vice City.

Edit. Sorry for the double-post. I replied to a message on the second page then went back to the first.

yes thatd be good these are sum good suggestions

[Robpol86]

or how bout (if possible), when u alttab/esc, your game WONT pause, but just have an icon over the players head to show everyone that your not acrually playing, so that some (but not all...) will have mercy.

this will put an end to all this lame "cheating", cuz u wont have infinite life (and when u esc while in motion in a car, hopefully the vehicle wont STOP but slow to a halt (like a key suppression))
