vBF2 style tips for new guys

AnRK · Post by **AnRK** » 2007-11-04 23:30

Was just thinking after a few peoples newbie bashing in the click to heal medic discussion thing, can we implement a similar system as in vBF2 for giving tips on the basics of PR? So you'd walk up to a RP and it'd give a brief voice over and text message showing how the RP works and it's features etc.

Has a look through already suggested but couldn't find owt. Dunno how much work this might be (I can imagine it might be quite a bit), but I reckon it'd be the best way of showing new guys how stuff works.

I'm sure writing up a few gray help boxes for first timers can't be that hard.

and it is something that REALLY needs to be done

Yes, that would be perfect, people would professionnal as soon as they come in the game. The gameplay would be a little more smooth (exept for the fact that were gonna have grey boxes floatting in front of our faces in a fire fight).
Maybe put them up for a certain number of gameplay time and then they disappear.

Bump! Just wanna know what the developers stance on it is, they've probably already thought of it I woulda thought, what with being the clever chaps they are.

its a good idea but why you need a voice for it.. a voice is really annoying
just some boxes is fine to me

You have to think about the alphabetically challenged players too!

For me if nothing else, it would add an "official" taste for the beloved mod.

We should have such a feature for 1.0!

Who said, we need some voice-overs, people can read, can't they?

Yeah the voices aren't really that necessary come to think of it. Would be nice when the devs have nothing better to do, which seems to be never.

i agree i dont think voices are necessary i would rather see help boxes implemented than wait longer for voice overs to be done it would really help with the vanilla morons ruining the game

Maybe it would help, but would it teach inelligence as well?

If it'll tell them what's the shovel for you'll have at least one common question less

Yes, we have that in our list. I guess we could have the community helping with these messages. I will create a thread in the community modding section and you will be able to help out.
