The (sortof)Official After-I-Tested-The-Mini-Mod Suggestions
Posted: 2005-08-13 03:31
Alrighty, first and foremost: Thanks a ton for all the hard wor you've put into this mod so far, it's looking to be awsome.
Now for the suggestions: I'm going to assume the extreme rubberbanding of death lag is something having to do with the minimod, because reguardless of what server I was on (even servers in the US) I have 700+ ping.
Another suggestion: While I understand the point of this mod is realism, we need some basics. A very basic health monitor would help. Nothing fancy, just a
green to orange to red meter or something. In real life, you know the difference between a shot in the arm and one in the chest.
Clip counter needs to be a little more obvoius, took me a while to realise that's what this tiny little near invisable number in the bottom right corner is.
As all 3rd person views are disabled, there is currently no way of knowing the condition of your vehicle. Either a basic meter like the infantry meter I suggested, or maybe if you could add cracks to the windowshield, and the more cracks, the more damage. Something like that.
I didn't check, but make it so the medic bags don't recharge themselves. The support kit needs to be used more, this is a major incentive if you don't have infinate magical bags of healing farie pixie dust. Or even better, make it so you have to hold it and heal them that way, no instant health renewals. On second thought, apply that to the Ammo nag also. First Aid and resupply don't happen instantly.
That's all I can think of now. Again, great job on the mod and the minimod, lookng forward to the real thing!
