Mystic~ Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) I don't think this already exists, but if it does, someone can correct me. Is it possible to have some sort of command function for the commander role that places the last order given on the left side of the screen somewhere, maybe above the kill streaks and below all the other comm chatter. Any new message left would cancel out the old order or instruction. For example, typing: /O Would list the message as an [order]. Orders: Assemble in the Airstrip with Mendoza's. I like using the /c function in the team chat box, because you get the big clear message centre screen, but it soon disappears and you have to keep spamming it over and over. I think it would be useful to have something that remains on the screen the whole time in a noticeable colour that doesn't easily get lost against all the other text data streams.

Mystic~ Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yeah, sort of, what's the shortcut key for this panel? Does it still exist? And how do you create an entry? I had in mind some sort of statement between the two text groupings on the left, but it might be redundant now. It's funny you should pick a screenshot with my old player name in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted August 28, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 28, 2019 Doesn't exist anymore. Was probably removed for some reason. Not sure other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff roweboat Posted August 29, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 29, 2019 Wasnt that used in the early version of the Commander mutator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted August 29, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 29, 2019 It was in the commander mod back in the day. Really didn't have much of a reason to be carried over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff roweboat Posted August 29, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 29, 2019 For once I do agree with George on this one though. Keep "/r" command to show in big red letters on screen. Change "/c" to stay on screen (in objective box or elsewhere) until commander cancels the text.

Mystic~ Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Wait, what does /R do? I don't use this function. I like the idea of the message being 'sticky' and remaining prominent on screen, maybe centre top is a better place then at the side with all the other info. It would be nice if there were also function keys or ways to switch off some of this other meta-data because the screen starts to become cluttered and information overloaded quite easily.

HIHIHI Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 /r is like /c, except that it makes it last longer (I think twice as long). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff roweboat Posted September 2, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yes I remember when the first update that came with the Commander update, I was a bit overwhelmed with all the info on screen at first. But I quickly got used to it. And I only use "/r" and it's still not long enough =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic~ Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm still wondering if this is possible? I don't like the look of the old objective interface box, too clunky and clumsy, but would still appreciate some place for writing mission orders onto the screen that you don't have to keep repeating using r/ or /c.

HuskerDoggo Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) That O menu was used to display the live count of each unit/tank there were. it was removed shortly before being replaced my the map iirc Edited April 8, 2020 by HuskerDoggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff roweboat Posted April 9, 2020 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 9, 2020 Id still argue having something like that available for the commander to setup a current "goal" or "objective" would be nice. Instead of having to constantly spam text. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
