or a special map that gets then opened (must be included before) which you can explore while downloading.
Quote from: DarkCrusade on April 06, 2009, 07:33:53 amor a special map that gets then opened (must be included before) which you can explore while downloading.Wait, you mean we would open some kind of map for fun while waiting for for the actual map to load?
It's be a bit of a chore to program, and all you have to do is rejoin the server and it downloads it
I think you could probably know that: you play somewhere and suddenly you disconnect from server because you dont have one f**king map. That is annoying and inoperative I think, so I suggest to include in the version after 1.5 something where you stay at server and you waft in the air with a black background or something like that, or a special map that gets then opened (must be included before) which you can explore while downloading.What do you think? I myself do press F12
honnestly think it is useless because a maps takes what? 30 sec MAX to download? but yes it is annoying that you hhave to leave the server
F11 for that dial up thing...I'm not going to wait for some guy whos internet is like 56k...I like that idea "The Epic Guy" came up with. Looks very neat and creative.
Something like this?Id much rather have this than leave the server to download a map.

Makes no sense to have this.1) People put hours into getting map packs together and distributing them;2) Not having people leave on map change doesn't allow the server user base to circulate - it becomes like water in a bowl - Nothing new in, nothing new out. Just the same users 24/7;3) There are way more important things to do than reprogram the entire map changing system.Stop being lazy elitists and either download map packs or live with it.
Why should everyone else suffer just because someone's computer is, well, crap? Seriously, if a computer can't handle a 30mb mappack, it really needs to be binned.
Soldat lives off players, and if players can't access servers because they are always full because people stay in there for hours on end and never leave, the servers will die off and so will Soldat. Sucks for the people with capped internet/s**t computers, but it's not everyone else's problem.
Edit: It's like spectators. Servers aren't there for 10 people to spectate when they can't be bothered playing. Not saying the spectator system should be removed, but there's a reason servers have kick/ban timers and some even disable them. No new players, no potential income to server admins, no servers.
Did you know I've been a server admin for years, DarkCrusade? I bet you also didn't know I have spectator disabled on my servers for everyone but admins. Also what's with the 'one f'? Soldat lives of? Makes no sense.
What I don't understand, is if people keep downloading maps, which they do, eventually they are going to have all the maps contained in a mappack anyway, so that's a pretty null point. Climbing packs that are upwards of 120mb I can understand, but not your average mappack.
A server can die because if an admin is simply forking out money and time, to some it becomes a bit of a waste to keep going with it. It can have 32 players in it 24/7, but if the players never change, there's no chance of donation, service charges or ad revenue on communities because no one new is joining because no one new can get into the server.
What´s wrong with not needing a mappack? Will cause no more work for the owner of servers to complete a mappack when everyone can simply get the maps and prevents from stressing work like climbingmappacks and others!
LOL, you know that we all dont play all time, some people have a real life buddy
hat I don't understand, is if people keep downloading maps, which they do, eventually they are going to have all the maps contained in a mappack anyway, so that's a pretty null point.
Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.
2) ingame- lag

If it works we got a solved problem if not we gotta think of something.
