Is it possible to tone down the distance that you hear all that chatter. Like, who cares if there is an enemy infantryman on the other side of the map. I just want to hear whats near me. I'm tired of hearing nothing but my team chatter from accross the map as if it were right in my ear. I can't hear what's around me.

Yeah sorry Gents for the lack of updates .. been a really busy week at work for me.

We have a few minor bugs in the 0.311 build that we have already fixed.

Got one last thing to complete ... we're adding a United Nations skin for the Little Bird as an admin vehicle for the tournaments

Should wrap up all the changes tonight, release a 0.312 build to test tomorrow, then release to public on Saturday.

Wow, is it just me, or did that quote have "upper managment" written all over it? Guess who cracks the whip behind the scenes in this mod...

Nah its egg thats for sure! Hes the unsung hero of the installers!

Did you know?

That in the 0.3 installer, if you press a certain number of keys, in a certain order, then you get a video of eggman, dancing with an ommlete on his head! Im surprised no-one has seen this yet!

no, but i assume anyone who tries this and creates a thread in the forum wanting to know which keys does it is going to be left with egg on their face!

I did, but I was too afraid to post the screenies I captured and without proof there was not realy any point in making such absurd claims on these forums.

I have since been blackmailing Eggman into sending me every internal release of PRMM. If he didn't I would post the pictures here for everyone to behold!

Malik wrote:Here's my opinions on prone diving from the other thread, just incase nobody decides to read that again. Hope these ideas are implemented. This is my ideal fix:

When you press Z from running or from standing or walking, you will hit the deck. It won't be any slower than it is now. In real life, if you're being shot you want to get down fast and you can. Time penalties won't solve the problem, they'll just frustrate.

When you've started your descent, you'll notice your weapon goes out of your field of vision, simulating the soldier in question breaking their fall with their weapon or their hands. Basically, you can't see your gun.

When you hit the ground, the draw animation is played. This is what you normally see when you change weapons. Draw animations vary in length from just over 1 second for pistols and the knife upto about 2 seconds for guns like the SAW. Generally, the bigger the weapon the longer the draw animation. This simulates the player needing to adjust their weapon after landing prone.

After the draw animation is played, there's the usual deviation spike. This could be increased if necessary, but the tiny time penalty for redrawing your weapon is probably going to be enough to stop players from diving and getting the upper hand on an enemy.

Once the player is completely on the floor, they will lose 50 stamina, more or the less the same as jumping drains. If the player sprints and prones, when he gets up he'll most likely not have enough energy to continue running for a while.

So can it be done?

If it isn't possible, to super simplify it, is there some way to code it in so that the 'prone' command (whatever the bind is) also immediately switches to weapon 1 or 2 (knife or pistol)? Hit the deck and have to manually switch back to your weapon. That would solve the issue although it would be confusing initially.
