do you really need this future at hide and seek?

No, during INF scrims (comp mode).

[Slizer]

Here's another suggestion (I think it could be made server side?)

(Comp Mode) You're invited to spec a certain team in 1st round but when 2nd round is started your invitation is removed. My suggestion would be to make it stay the whole scrim

Hope you like this one Max, please make it!

I'll try to fix it. I'm still not convinced why tell should be enabled and not admin chat.

Great!

another suggestion:

the trophy board shows only the results of 2nd round why not 1st+2nd combined? or trophy board for both rounds.

Well noticed. I was already aware of that, but have never cared to fix it. I will try to fix that in the next version.

[Slizer]

Nice suggestion heldro. I would like that too, with all he stats in total from both rounds

Add to the suggestion/bugs list that the server list (not the ingame version) isn't expanding once you've disconnected to a server and RPM is in use.

Max the Leader feature isn't realy being used. Maybe because of the fact that, a lot of scrims are played without leaders or co-leaders.

That's not really important. However, the menu serverlist could be modified to be the same size as the in-game one.

Still, one player could be the team's leader who has extra powers.

Oh well, but baris is right... no one is bothered to use the Leader function.

1) Many scrims are played without a leader.
2) Scrims starts and they are played, that's it. No one bother spending time to add leaders.
3) Not many knows about this function anyway, like 10-12 ppl...
4) I prefer /tell like many others.

@1: Still, one player could be the team's leader who has extra powers.
@2: This will be a matter of seconds.
@3: A matter of time until more players use it, if they discover it's useful.
@4: Tell command can be used by spectators to "cheat". I removed this for the same reason as admin chat (admin chat was often used to cheat in the past).

I just think players need to try this function before declaring it useless.

How can /tell be used as a cheat? You can only use /tell from spec to someone in scrim when he's dead.

[BariS]

Max we used to whine about admin chat for the same reason we whined about teamspeaking spectators, back times when you could spec with admins by going ghost-mode w/e.

You fixed that and everything was ok. No more whining at scrims, every1 can spec, no more admin removals etc etc..

Now you removed /tell & admin chat, so dead players cannot communicate with spectators. Spectators can only spec the teams they have been invited too. You invite some1 if you trust him, and with /tell he can only talk with dead people anyway, so it's basicly to late for backstabbing even if he's betraying you. You can't stop teamspeak which is a bigger cheat. But since you fixed that locked spectators that's all fine.

Admin chat is a bit worse than /tell, since you can communicate with players who are alive, but hey you can't abuse spectating anymore. The only abuse is putting wallhack on, speccing your teammate and telling him what you see, but if you are on MT you take a chance getting caught (Unless you are a programmer and disable SS's).
But even in this case /tell is harmless.

No matter what I think of, I can't figure out why you think these features can be used for cheat. Like you said, they were used in the passed when there was this ghost-mode bug. But now there's no bug.

Teamspeak and admin chat can only be used as cheat when there's wallhack enabled, or if you have invited some1 that is helping out the other team but that is your responsibility.

/tell cannot be used for cheat in anyway if you ask me, unless you invited some1 who tells your ''tactics'' after every round to the opponent, but still the opponent won't know what your next tactic will be unless you keep using the same tactic over and over again. And as a good opponent you don't need some1 to tell you that, because after 2 rounds you figure out some1's tactics, so this argument is a bit of bullshit, but still.

Peace

Baris, I think you're right. In the past, admins could still spectate during competition mode, but now that it's fixed, the abuse is probably gone.

I've made a feature to modify your name colours easily. I'm sure you love it. Download here:

It awesome for sure, but it's not yet completed max. I saw that not all the "keys"/colors are in it.
I saw that you already made some patterns, that's not bad.

I haven't realy checked which keys were missing, but for example dark orange = capital C

Maybe it's easier for you if you put all numbers in order and then the letters in alfabetic order and then the special keys so on. (eventhough patterns are handy)

But it's awesome for sure.

Peace Out

This is what I used for reference:

http://img503.images...adasdasdws8.png

Which is the same as this, but grouped:

http://img187.images...27348061pt9.png

You can see that in the above picture, 'G' appears twice, so I guess one of them should be 'C' and that's probably the only color that's missing. In my palette it's also shown twice, I've fixed that now. On the picture are 93 colors. About 10 of them are "bugged" and don't show properly in the server, so I removed those, which explain the gaps in the palette. Then I checked all symbols (5 of them work as a color) and added those.

A problem is that it's alot of hard boring work to rearrange the colours to group them (at least 5 hours of frustrating work). Imagine about 90 colours which have to be rearranged seperately, by hand in a TXT file. But I think it's more useful to keep the colours a bit together like they are now, rather than making them alphabetical.
