nordin dk 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Voting is allways a problem, especially for newcomers. Is it possible to implement as simpler way of voting, by using right mouse button for example? By placing cursor on a certain player in MP and then clicking right couse button, a menu could appear with choices for voting. - Vote this player as admin - Vote to kick this player - Vote to restart - Vote to reassign - Vote to change maps etc. Just a suggestion :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reverend L3 0 Posted March 6, 2002 While this would make it easier to perform these actions, I really don't see how this adds any functionality. The functionality is already there. 95% of the people that frequent the servers I do, don't read the manual or the readme. There is always one every game who either doesn't know where to go, what to select, which weapons do what, etc. Even fewer people actually know how to use the vote commands. Even more disheartening are people who insist others vote for them, yet they don't know how to act once they are voted in. I have seen more then a few of these in my day. Not to knock the ignorant or the newbie, but I suggest BIS dedicate their time to more pressing issues. There are still some glaring bugs in the game, along with major annoyances (The repeating radio AI, and many others too numerous to mention). People already possess the ability in the game to perform these actions, through their laziness they limit their abiliities. It's not terribly complicated or poorly defined, it's just not conveniant enough for the people among us who don't care to read the documentation, even at the cost in time and energy of others.

5thSFG HellFire 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Agreed Rev, there are many things more important. The thing is we as kind and at least trying to be kind to the new comers to OFP. Need to help those that didn`t bother to read the darn book.Not that it is our fault but in interest of good and fun faster moveing games. We have to lend a hand,look at all the web sites that offer great idea`s,hints,tips and much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nordin dk 0 Posted March 6, 2002 The reason I make this suggestion, is that it is something a lot of time is wasted on, on public servers. I don't want to seem like I feel it's urgent or extremely important, it just popped into my head, so I wanted to put it out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5thSFG HellFire 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Oh and somebody brought up something like kicking the voted admin,haveing to do with dedicated servers. Well it would be a great option,but all it would take is one vote to start a chain of votes,leading to the voted admin who may have been doing a great job being kicked. So realy it would be left in the hands to one person that may like a certain map or dislike it,to start this kick the admin thing. Dedicated servers rock,why no voteing once an admin is inplace,faster movements from map to map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5thSFG HellFire 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Here is a simple idea,make the # not hidden when used. I remember being somewhat confused when i first got the game as to why my votes didn`t work right, untill somebody told me how to vote properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nordin dk 0 Posted March 6, 2002 That would be an improvement, often new players do not know if they have votd or not. I still think the right click would work. The admin should perhaps be able to switch on and off, whether or not people could vote for maps or restart. The voting is chaos now, when there is not a "dedicated" admin present.
