Let me know Awwww.... I spent weeks and weeks to get those to work. You should leave them and keep the chaos. Just kidding. Even with all the work I added the custom options because not everyone thinks the same as I do. And in some gametypes, like sniper games, the weapon ones would be horrible but the emp/cuav would be good. Hope it makes the server more enjoyable.

I am highly biased certainly but in ways I equate arguments against ambient weapons... or maps with built in minefields... to claymores or betties. Or explosive barrels with timers that some maps have. Only difference is kill credit. Heavy rushers dont like having to deal with traps since it messes up their style. Which is the point. So IW/BO came to the crazy decision to cripple explosives down to 1 to make the rushers happy and so they would stop complaining. Believe it or not even then some still did. But I must remember that there are many others that think differently and should have the means to shut them off. Which is why mods are important. I did consider at one time that ambient weapons would credit the kill to the lowest player on one or the other team. Ambient weapons would be considered attacks called in by the commanders away from the battlefield. They would not count towards streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a number of reasons. If you know, are there any weapon pickups in a hidden place in the map? If so that will do it for any mod that has custom weapons. 2: Dunno what the server settings are. Waiting to hear whether or not I should add a change so when that happens the worst player in the game gets the credit, but doesnt count towards streaks. 3: I saw that. Also body armor is disabled. Time for the admins to have a pow-wow and check out the server settings. 4: I havent been able to reproduce it yet. What perks did you have? I dunno why it would be related but I cant discount anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Then click the one you do. Is'nt there an easier way, as an admin i often have to explain to new players in the server how to choose this or that, also if it is like the current mod now (which is easier to choose perks and kill streaks etc then this one is ) sometimes we are waiting ages for players to actually get into the game while they are choosing classes etc, they are not in specc like they were in other mods but actually in the game showing dog tags but not actually taking part, i get bombarded with calls to "kick" them out because players don't like waiting too long, you can bet these players always end up as last man so the game just stops while we all wait for them to work out how to choose this or that, things are getting to complicated it used to be so much easier. People just want to get in and play as son as possible, it takes too long Edited October 25, 2012 by Sonovabich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is standard obviously so I have no idea what is complicated about a system that has been around for years. The note I put at the top of the killstreak window should say it all. Select/deselect what you want. It pulses when the cursor is above it like every other button in the game. It is also based it on how BO does it, as much as I could do without running into menu asset problems, so it shouldnt be a new thing. As for why this menu, its because the other had too many incompatibilities with certain game types and the menu itself was entirely code based. Which is why it had so many problems earlier. Hide and Seek is one game type and that is the one I got the most requests for to get a menu working for it. I could probably get it to work with the old one but would need more code hacks to account for a lot of unique circumstances. And that would just open up a can of worms that I did not want to get into. But another reason if I can get it to work (dont know yet) is offline classes. Not possible with code based menus. Just not sure if it will accept 10 classes. For joining players tell me more how it is currently working. A player joins. Accepts a team. If the player decides to set classes before actually joining the game is the game still waiting for him to spawn anyways? If so that should be fixable. Never actually tried it but how does S&D handle that? I am really hoping this all works without problems because I would much rather spend my time playing this mod than spending more time coding it.

It's the same when us admins want to spectate someone, going into spectate don't work, we have to stay in game with dogtags next to our names as if we are picking weapons, then the same thing happens we end up being last man so we have to stop speccing and go back into game so we can end the round, As for the killstreak choices i thought it was quite funny yesterday when you said you actually had to choose the one you didn't want before you got the options to choose the ones you do want, what's that all about?, try explaining that to someone who don't speak good English, of course all this stuff ain't complicated to you, you made the mod, we getting plenty of new players to our servers who ain't got a clue what is going on, maybe i should just sit back like others do and not try to help people, i would much rather just get on and play the game but i see it as part of being an admin to help.

Lets see what I can answer before I head off to bed.... Before you can choose or pick classes you must be on a team. If you are not on a team (either axis or allies) then it just wont work. You must be on one or the other. If you go to spectate in the usual way tho your team is 'spectator'. I am thinking about how to deal with this in ftag if the last living player hasnt spawned but not sure how yet. The spectate thing is a server config problem. The mod does not touch that in any way shape or form. You pick weapons just the same as in cod4 so I dont understand what you mean. Its the same menu, with some extra stuff for the streaks. There are 10 classes so players can have two of each kind. Also done that way to allow for much more class customization for the servers that want to do it.

Some will like the changes some will not. No different than when MW went to MW2 and then MW3. God knows what MW4, if there is one, will be like. Of course all those guys get paid for their work. But then again they all have to report to bosses that only care about the money. We dont and its about being creative, not making a buck. Anyways, if the majority thinks a certain perk is not too good then shut it off. If people dont like the bounty stuff then shut it off. If people dont like the ambient then shut it off. And so on. The menu had to be changed to enable gametypes that wouldnt work with the other one. Some changes are what we think are fun. Others for purely practical reasons. I hate to use a very old cliche but progress must progress. Otherwise we would all still be watching nothing but remakes of movies from the 1970's. Goodbye Avengers. Hello Captain Video. And beyond that like all other creative people we enjoy making new things. Doesnt mean people have to like them. But whether or not something goes in is not a popularity contest other than providing the ability to shut things off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

One thing that I might wanna see if you can do, when you are choosing your killstreaks and say you have chosen 1 can you have a tick mark next to it so when you are choosing your next killstreak it will show when you have already chosen? Then when you pick your 2nd it will have a tick mark next to the two you have chosen and then the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The same one that is used by locked weapons and such. I might be able to add another that sets an X but will have to check out menu assets. Would that make things easier to understand for new players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
