Hey guys, new here so bear with me. I apologize if this has been mentioned before but I doubt anyone expects me to read the full 225 pages of posts preceding me.
nkey, have you ever considered adding a cell phone type device for use by the civilian faction(s)? I know that the focus of the mod is on military coop and radios (duh) but it would be neat for civilian role players to have a method to communicate. I'm no programmer but it seems that it wouldn't be hard to extend the unique radio number function to give cell phones unique numbers that could then be called (like a private radio channel auto programmed into the phones until someone hangs up). Phones wouldn't have to be anything fancy like a smartphone, just something that could hold a private conversation with someone. A nice touch would be to make it "hot mic" (no push to talk, it always transmits) for the duration of a call like real phones do.
I don't really expect anything to come of this, at least not while you're so busy trying to eradicate bugs. However, that's what I like about open source material. The idea is out there for the community to work on if they like it.
One last note, TFAR works AMAZINGLY for coop environments. My unit regularly squeezes 70 people on a single server and we never have any issues (unless someone forgot to update the mod :p).
