Hey guys IM BACK :D:D:D....


on topic:
well, after not playing soldat for 2 months, and lookin in my gostek folder, i saw the old walkies again, well, heres an idea:

When you press y (or whatever key assigned to teamchat(or by pressing ^)) the animation makes the soldier appear to be talkin into the walkie.
After you press enter or the fire button, the walkie goes away.

a sound for this may be, CHHH when you press y or t^, then after you press enter (not fire, because you havent entered the message) the soldat plays a sound *OVER* <--(sound)

discuss.

The idea is good, but the sound "over" isn't good.

Yeah, this way, you can tell if someones talking, camping or afk. The over sound might be a bit overkill though.

this is a good idea, why didnt i think of it 0_0 o yah im canadian........

omg brilliant idea!!!
why has noone thought of that!?
many other games have this thing that sometimes appears over your head when you're in the menu or typing message...this would be brilliant...

the way i think it should be:
he takes out walkie talkie when you press t or y. then he makes that CHHH noise for a sec and then when you hit enter he says over...and you can d.l different "over" for different languages!
i'm not sure how different this is from what you've said but i haven't completely understood you so im just retyping the way i think it should be.

i love this!

why did i not think of this???//

maybe the over sound is overkill, how bout static while typing that u and ppl close to u can hear

yea, i was thinking bout that too, spartan - about only being able to hear your "CHHHH" when close to you...and also the "over" part. ...wait...i thought it would be hard since he would have to implement a "quieter when further away" coding stuff...but it's already in place (with weaps n explosions)...DUH

There should also be this for normal chat, yet maybe different, to show that you are chatting and to avoid those horrid "chatkills".

this sound good and the over sounds good but it might be better if you just have another
CHHH

Imagine a silly mod, change the sound of "OVER" to: "I SAID GIVE ME COVER YOU [IMAGE]ING COCKSUCKERS!" Only without it being censored of course.

.... THATS THE 2nD BEST IDEA YET, MAKE IT HAVE THAT SOUND :D:D:D::D:D:D::D


BEST IDEA = SLICED TOMATOES!@!

MM should read this

I dont kno... I think it would be good that the CHH sound comes when u press enter on teamchat. so ur teammates know that a team message is displayed.
the animation thing sounds great though.

plus mabe some idiots would think its fun to soundspam(?)
like y space enter, y space enter, etc

MOFO NOFO
March 31, 2005, 6:50 am
i thought of that, thats why only you should hear the sounds (DUH?!!!)

Ever seen those talking desktop buddies that say what you type? Bonzi Buddy, the gay purple gorilla?
Mix that with Soldat and I'll never play it again.

Not making any promises, though :P

If many people are together (for example in CTF games) it would be hard to determine where the CHHH comes from, but a small animated textballoon might do the trick. That can be drawn like the player indicator....

Maybe MM doesn't have to pay for that ;)

no, soldat uses .poa animations (i think :/)

Captain Ben
April 1, 2005, 7:48 am
Yah. .poa is the way to go!
How about a /runaroundcrazyurinatingoneverything command?

or how about a /stopspammingmytopic

also, what kind of animation would it be, would you soldier hold weapons, or would he like, change weapons into a walkie, then puts it back that way.

How about a /likeyoucantalkandireallywouldliketoseeacommandlikethat?
Anyway, if he did hold a walkie-talkie, the gosteks are fairely small, so it would have to be able to be noticeable from a distance...

its only an animation to make the game better, it has no REAL purpose, only to make the game seem cooler.

[EDIT] well, not useless, then this might not be put in, more like, Realistic.

However, I think it should be added in some clear way.

Maybe whenever you talk, the animation should be radio, tshhhh, your words, off.

April 3, 2005, 9:46 pm
great idea...... but the chh sound should only be possible to hear for the one who activates the walkie....... and no "over" sound.....

MOFO NOFO

i think that only you can hear the noise, but while ur typing, it should have a "static" sorta sound. mabye when ppl go near enuff to u, they can hear it :D
