minimap for spectators

[-Major-]

making minimap working (as in seeing players positions etc) while in specators in a minimap disabled server would be good.

[Neosano]

why?

[DarkCrusade]

Could you please stop creating one thread for every mini-suggestion that pops up in your mind? And could you please elaborate your thesis because I see no reason why something like this should be implemented and "would be good" sounds like.. uh.. a "very nice" and in-depth thought over argument

This is a suggestion. The point is quite obvious. No, because it was I who suggested it, it could be obvious. But there are those of us that believe there are multitude of simplicity. But it only appear unappearant for you. it is, in reality, quite obvious. but no, people may not think the same way. so it's a delicate matter to determine what exactly is obvious...

however,the point is so obvious, there's no need to explain it!

I just asked you to elaborate your thesis, you don't need to turn this into discussion about life and balls. When I ask you why you suggest something I want to know >why< and not how obvious your reasons are

Hahhaha. Your replies to Major are awesome :]
It's not obvious, only your dog brain can know WHY it should be implemented :-S
And again. Why?

[Krack]

ownd ._.

the idea just sounds pointless. sorry.

[Furai]

And I like the idea, despite all the posts above. Nowadays it's really hard to spot cheaters, especially ones using some sort of radar in realistic servers. This minimap for spectators will make things easier, in my opinion of course but I can be wrong.

soooo... the idea of making spectators spectating more pleasurable and letting them know what's going on never hit you?
since it seems people got quite a bit into streaming nowadays having a visible minimap would make it a lot more watchable.

it's just ridiculous those 3 couldn't figure it out themselves....

1 spies
2 naked grannies
3 wtf if it's disabled then it must be for a reason
4 i rather let bots be able to have a minimap

Major, as you seem to have real problems with your brain I will be very gentle now not to confuse you too much.

-When you want to suggest something it's always nice to state your thesis in a way everyone is able to understand it.
-You cannot expect people to understand what you want for the exact reasons you suggest it for and call those who don't understand "the facts" dumb.
-A suggestion appears much more reasonable when you put in some arguments at the beginning, not after you are asked to do so

Lets now just go on like nothing happened, you didn't blame yourself nor did anyone laugh at you.

So why do you think the minimap got disabled on some servers? Not that I was any intersted in the exact reasons, but apparently someone wanted noone to be able to use the minimap. For exactly that reason I don't support your suggestion.

[-Major-]

I don't get why all the "noobs" come in here... if you don't know how the game works, then don't commentate, simple enough.
if you don't know why it's disabled on servers, then you haven't played soldat enough.

what the hell do you think spectators do? they OBSERVE a game, they don't play it. disabeling minimap is because the competetive scene doesn't want to force people to register by giving registered players and advantage (being able to see where their teammates are).
however, allowing spectators to see the minimap doesn't violate that rule, since the spectator is there to watch.

also, the competitive scene is probably larger than the amateur scene.

Trying to "win" an argument by saying "shut up you know nothing" is the way to go if you want to show everyone that you can't win a discussion by arguing.

bullshit.
I wouldn't say why. Cuz you know. You know everything about the game, so you should be able to GUESS my point.

You don't win a discussion, you win an argument by arguing. Nonetheless, Major has a good point which you probably missed because you were too eager to start banging your head against the wall. Allowing the spectators to use the minimap is a whole different thing than allowing the people playing to use it.

The suggestion itself didn't really (really really) need that much explaining but sadly some of the people here are unable to use common sense. (aka idiots)

I missed that because of the stuff around it. It's something you can at least work with :3

[smiluu]

Theres assload for couple asses features in soldat that's useless and pointless already. Noticed anything?
Propably not, because they do absolutely nothing wrong. Learn my point mr.Above?

[scarface09]

this sounds good...I want it...but it won't happen unless something else in soldat gets fkd up. I bet if this got implemented you won't be able to see the scores in the game your playing.

[DarkCrusade]

@Smiluu: You are rite

@Scar: Trying to be funny? It's very simple and you have no bloody idea what coding actually is so keep your mouth shut when you want to talk about things you do not understand.

[smiluu]

It's true some new features have made previously working stuff dysfunctional, but that's not a reason to be thumb in your ass all the time in every single topic.
