Title: This is long overdue...
Post by: crazymonkey on June 08, 2006, 08:58:49 pm
A /vote function. (IE: /vote ctf_B2b)

I can't tell you how much of a pain it is to scroll through all my maps to get to a certain map I like.

/vote is clean, simple, and easy.

Yes!
I constantly avoid voting maps because of all the maps that I have to scroll through. I highly approve

I can't stress how much I support this idea. It really sucks going through my huge list of maps, and the people I play with (*coughs* Twelve) constantly make me do it because they don't want to for the same reason. Please, for the sake of my fingers, add this simple feature.

Awsome idea! It takes a while when you have to go through 500+ maps to get tothe one you want

Oh hell yes. Altough been suggested before, this is still something which is absolutely necessary. Or make the vote option box more friendly.

OMG i never thought of this idea, but that would be so BAMF! i totally agree, and what harm could it do?  I see no negative outcome from this.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Blues on June 09, 2006, 03:04:30 am
WOW, AWESOEM IDEA!
Can't believe I never thought of it either.
This would be sooooo convinient.
So annoying to go over all those maps.

I like it, those kind of ideas will actually get implemented i think..just makes soldat way more practical.

yes this is a very good idea.

I agree with crazymonkey scrolling is very annoying!

 ;D great idea!
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: KentheGreat on June 09, 2006, 10:10:07 am
yea.. as long as you remember what the map names are.. maybe something like if you e.g. type ctf_V and press some button, like tab, you get the map name that is first in alphabetic order of those maps who begin with ctf_V, and press tab again until you get to the map of your choise.. this is my suggestion as an addition to this idea, I like the idea a lot.

(The map I had in mind was ctf_Voland... if somebody cares)

100% totally needs implamented.  I'm suprised this wasn't implamented yet.  It seems like such an ingenius idea.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: xurich on June 09, 2006, 01:38:57 pm
I like that addition, Ken. It's not necessary to the core idea, but it'd certainly help forgetful people, and it'd make the entire process that much smoother. I have an old habit of forgetting map names, so I'm sure this would come in handy. ;)
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Serial K!ller on June 09, 2006, 02:19:27 pm
This is a must because browsing trough 500+ maps to get one is stupid.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: xtishereb on June 09, 2006, 02:21:53 pm
Oh, man, this would make voting for maps so easy. It's clean, simple, effective, and I would guess not as hard to program into Soldat as a new hairstyle. But, I don't know how Soldat is coded, so don't quote me as an expert on coding.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: RabidTreeFrog on June 09, 2006, 02:34:08 pm
Oh my God, why hasn't this been implemented? Its a pain in the ass for me to vote an Infiltation map beacsue I have to scroll through 250+ race, dodgeball, DM, and ctf maps.

/me supports this.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: UGK on June 09, 2006, 06:25:23 pm
Love this idea
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: BondJamesBond on June 09, 2006, 07:09:40 pm
FIANLLY, someone brings it up!

Until then, i am not going to download the 400 mappack (veyr bad idea)

100% approval!
This is a must, and I can already tell you that it is going to be put in, chances are high at least...
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: ..::HHH::.. on June 11, 2006, 03:11:28 pm
yea,, this would be really convenient. makes things easier.

I agree with everyone else ^^ brilliant
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: zaraza on June 11, 2006, 04:18:34 pm
And what if you misspell the map name and Soldat will not reckognize that there is no such map?
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: DarkNoddy on June 11, 2006, 05:15:38 pm
Why shouldnt soldat reckognize if you misspelled it ? It takes 1 single if statement to check if a file is in the ...\soldat\maps\ dir..

I approve of this
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Wormdundee on June 11, 2006, 05:49:25 pm
This does sound good, but perhaps another modification would be good. Instead of either showing one map at a time or typing in the full name, when you click on vote map it opens up a largish box with a scrollbar that shows all the maps you have.

And of course it would be able to be organized by type of map and/or alphabetical order.

I realize this is harder to do than just the typing in the name idea, but it's just something to think about.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Shmack. on June 11, 2006, 09:48:29 pm
What the? This is the most idiotic idea ever!



Heh, jking. This should be in the game by now. 
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Unlucky XIII on June 11, 2006, 10:49:04 pm
I like this idea, and as an extention, if you hit the TAB key, it will finish off the map name for you (for example, you type /vote aren, then hit tab, it comes up with Arena, again will come up with Arena2, and again will come up with Arena3)

Still, this is a good idea, it'd definetly make a nice addition to the game, as long as it doesn't take too long to implement.
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: T-Bone on June 12, 2006, 03:26:44 am
good thinking unlucky, that would save even more time.....some of these ideas are quite good
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Noz on June 13, 2006, 06:34:13 pm
I always just assumed this was already implemented. Add it now.

I've been wanting this for years, the current voting is a pain.

The commands should be /votemap and /votekick though.

YES!!! BRILLIANT MIND WHOEVER CAME UP WITH SUCH A SIMPLE SOLUTION!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!

It's easy to put in, will be better for people who have many many maps, and in general it's better. Now MM just has to find out...
Title: Re: This is long overdue...
Post by: Snowden on June 19, 2006, 05:09:00 pm
A /votekick command should be added for the same reason (e.g. /votekick 1)
