I just thought about a suggestion: when you switch a team of players after a side, could you bring up the character/identity select screen? I don't think many people care too much about it but I find it boring when everyone is the same character on a team every game.

TRUE WITH RPM IM ALWAYS THIS FAG GUY WHEN ON MY SWITCH TEAMS BIND I BECOME A BLACK MAN ON RED!

Did you do anything about the freezed binds when watching a demo?
I can't calculate it correctly with the timescale now binded on scroll.
Also once I spectate in flying mode, you see the crosshair still, I want to use cg_drawcrosshair 0 to remove it for movies but the binds are still frozen so I can't do that (unless via console but I don't want that to be shown once recording for the movie).
Any hope for this?

Good point. Though bringing up the character select screen every time will be annoying. I can make the skins random by default, and let you choose a blue + red skin in the menu. How about that?

You may be right that it would be annoying for some people to see the character select screen, however I think it was intended by Ravensoft for anyone switching teams to go through this menu. Perhaps we can see more opinions on that.

What you said sounds more attractive than what is going on now, but would the "chosen" blue and red skin be only applied to mp_shop, or all maps? I ask because most maps have different character options.

All maps. There are always 5 characters, you choose one of them, and the same one (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) is used in all maps.

All the same skins would be awesome tbh.

When you say there is always 5 characters, for each map these characters are not the same in case you aren't aware.

So then you would still have to pick a new character when playing on maps if you care to. Could it be instead an option to bring up the select screen when you switch teams or not? If not, then maybe just random skins is a better solution and people can just press escape to custom select a character.

Like I said, the menu popping up on every swap will be very annoying. I will make it so that you can choose a character for every character set.

[Foxdie]

cant you have it so you have to choose the first time you play but it saves what characters you chose and keeps using them after?

[luminoKo]

Is it so much trouble to just press ESC and change skin there?
Just because some people are lazy we now have to add like unnecessary things if you ask me.
Also the auto-recording in competition mode is an example since we have many times that we disable competition mode like 1 or 2 times, so you'll get 2 demos of like 11 kb?
Unless you can choose to turn it on or off in the RPM menu it's fine by me, but don't force the skin/record thing please, let people choose via the RPM menu.

Exactly, that's what I just added. For every skin set you choose a character in the menu, and it will be enforced.

True, you will get 2 small demo's in that case. The recording will be automatic and there will be no way to turn it off (just like in 1.00).

auto recording will really help out with the lame requests so i dont really feel its unnecessary although the small demos will be annyoing (auto delete on certain file size if possible)and as for the skin everyone has been using the same skin basically BECAUSE of rpm which imo is a downgrade so why not fix that?


if you start recording before rpms forced record will it reset your demo if so i think it shouldnt :S this would fix the issue lumi is seeing with small demos

eg i connect to server and start recording "foxownedthiswarcauseeveryoneelseisshit.dm_2001" competition mode gets enabled and my demo keeps going instead of being reset to
"demo0001.dm_2001"

Download beta version 6a here: rpm2k3.com/6a.zip. I have not yet added it to the home page at rpm2k3.com because it is still a beta version. So let me know if it works. Note: it is not yet accepted by FP.

I've updated all servers.

Updates:

• Client
• Set your default skin for each skingroup in the menu. They are used instead of your normal choice. Your skin is now correct when you get forceteamed and after swapteams.
• Added automatic competition mode record. The recording starts when the match is started. If you are already recording, the command is ignored. After the medals the recording will be stopped automatically, hence you get a seperate demo for red and for blue.
• Added 2k3.ini file so you can automate your message box choices
• 's' key does not make a screenshot anymore in menus.
• Stats at the end of the map showed stats for the wrong player sometimes. This has been fixed.
• Added crosshair size and crosshair color to the menu
• Key binding enabled during playback. Use the following cvar to bind a key: 2k3_demoKey_%s, where %s is the key identifier. Examples: set 2k3_demoKey_a "timescale 1.0" or set 2k3_demoKey_K_KP_LEFTARROW "timescale 0.10". It is recommend to use a seperate CFG for your key bindings, use set instead of seta, so that your sof2mp.cfg does not get clogged with these key bindings.
  
  Server
• A chat/teamchat/voicechat message resets your away timer during competition mode warmup
• If you throw a weapon, you keep your knives.
• The server doesn't broadcast FairPlay errors anymore.
• Chat sounds enabled in team chat during competition mode.
• Pause changed. Speed is put to 0 and round time is frozen. Unpause is instant.
• Grenade kills and knife kills don't count teamkills anymore.
• Specators locked bug fixed. Sometimes it caused SoF2 to end up in an infinite loop (probably at Cmd_FollowCycle_f). This was a common reason for server crashes. The spectators lock is less appealing now, but it will have to do.
• Dropitem command not added, this is too difficult.

Just something to consider: someone who names their records like myself according to the teams and date played for example "bvsamexjul62012.pk3" is hindered by the auto record if it stops after each side. I like how it ignores the auto record if I am already recording, but now I would have one demo named as I wanted and another like demo0001.pk3 if I'm not fast enough to start a second record before the second side starts. There's really no need for a seperate demo for each side IMO.

All other fixes seem nice and I'm curious to see how this character select works.

Thanks for your feedback. The demo name will just be demoXXXX, so that is indeed a small downside. In SoF2 1.00 your demo automatically gets named, the name includes the servername, mapname, gametype, team and time. This is also a possibility for Demo. Having a seperate demo for both sides seems fine to me, but that can be changed later. Even if the record system stays as it is now, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
