It is not that simple Jason. Well, it is a computer, therefore the problem is solvable :P Change the texturing? Reduce the color palette range of the rest of the figure so that a pure white & a few grays aren't lost in the mapping from the 32-bit down to the 8-bit? Plus I'll bet there are progr...

Can anyone tell me if I should be flattered or insulted by the comparison?

Do you want stats over all games a user has played or do you want "ranked" rooms back for the purpose of affecting those stats? As I wrote in my post "to" par, I'd like to see ranked/unranked rooms. Or, even better, let a host decide if a game is ranked, or not. Then our small c...

Tweet pre-existing, cool Youtube videos too. Even old MWC videos and say "remember this incredible finish from blah blah blah"

jason_ac

Interesting. And then we re-Tweet it saying stuff like "Holy $#!&, did you see that game?!? #MythMassacre"

are you talking about cumulative wins:loss and dmg ratios in the lobby? if that's easy for you to do, please do it ! Just bear in mind, whatever you measure, that's what you will get. Instead of rank-whoring behavior, you'll get stat-whoring behavior. If you show just win/loss, then some people wil...

Are there many newcomers to myth lately? I've seen a couple. Don't always get a chance to talk to them much, and they're not always interested in links, info, etc. But a blue bar sounds like a good idea. As long as some vet will always show up to host.

isnt that quite dumb forcing guests in non-tournament rooms, because most registered players have been crying for ranking (hence using tournament rooms), so actual guests who are meant to participate with other players are completely isolated from the regular mythers see a empty lobby/leave and spl...

The ranking system that was on Mnet, though it's "cheatable" cant the code for that be implemented here? That way atleast some kind of rankingsystem are up until the improved one will come in time? You'd have to ask PunkUser & MNet, will MNet share it, does that help PunkUser much, or...

jason_ac

I read that ppl dont think that ranked have anything to say regarding ppl playing here. There's a lot of sentiment that a well-functioning ranking system would be a nice addition. It's just that it's a lot of work, for a [currently] small community. And apparently no one credible and qualified has ...

jason_ac

Yeah, I used to think that way once ;) Anyways you can do what you like, I just don't like seeing you waste your time on some of these guys. Clearly I haven't been spending much time in gaming forums lately, if I'll fall for the troll trap ;) Been a while since I've done much game forum-ing. Of cou...

That said, while I appreciate the sentiment jason, wwo is right in that it's not going to change anyone's attitudes. There are folks who are just going to bitch no matter what and LK is just going to keep claiming that nothing has been done despite... all the stuff that has been done. It's a losing...

I'm pretty certain a sycophant faction isn't necessary. I have no idea what PunkUser expects. I am only speaking for myself in all this. I assume he would appreciate some appreciation, which is the appropriate response when someone gives you something you value, for free. It's a sad commentary on t...

looks like the support and push for a meta-server ranking system is in full gear, if only our king will hear our demands and pleas. If I were punkuser, "support" like that would *guarantee* I wouldn't implement ranking. Look at the quality of people that will be bitching about every littl...

the only realistic explanation is that he's too lazy or simply incapable. Neither would surprise me since he's demonstrated both from the inception of GoS. Apparently you are FAR lazier and less competent than punkuser. How many Myth servers have you built and maintained in your spare time, for fre...

On the new HD total conversion release, we will make the BOX formation the only one that is custom. Unless you want to confuse new people, you should not change anything. If THEY don't like their formations, they can ask others to give them a download of formations, or learn how to edit it themselv...

I am one of those players who cares about rank. It's a nice-to-have, if they have time, and can prevent or remedy cheating. Donate them lots of money, maybe they'll make the time ;) >"the game is more fun to me when you can actually keep track of Wins/losses, kill ratio" Those first 2 thi...

Perhaps if players joined and actively tried to get more people on board in my group, instructing how to obtain, patch and secure a registered account (being a long procedure) and doing it correctly we may actually reach the 16 player mark in some good games other than mazz style coops. You mean th...

Ok, some actual feedback on one of the units...I haven't compared them all yet (don't know when I will), but it jumped right out at me that I didn't like the HD Soulless, and I finally spent some time examining them and can say why. Original Recipe Soulless have nice bone-white skulls. Very "at...

Playing with this some more I realized that I don't want to use it until I take the time out to learn how to edit formations again. It screws me up too much to move back and forth between regular Myth and the HD plugin, when the HD plugin forces formation changes on me. And I can't recommend it at a...

Not really possible (there's some hacky ways, but they'd be bad). If it's visible the client can try and join it. Passwording is the only way to get that behaviour. They'd still see a bunch of dimmed players though, correct? So they'd know people were playing? How about if the room displays a count...

jason_ac

If you do make a .wank or somesuch, I suggest it not be like MNet, in that it doesn't make your game invisible, just un-joinable. Maybe if wanks see that people are playing, and there is gaming going on, they're just not welcome due to their behavior, it might give them an incentive to be less of an...

Here's an idea...some of the Myth-ers seem to not come to any forums much. But they do chat, and sometimes saying useful stuff (like when/what they want to play, etc). The chat is public anyway...so why not log it to a central location, so you can see what was being chatted about when you couldn't b...

it's rare to even find anyone using his 'amazing' plugins. I like the HD well enough, and I've heard from a few that were looking for it.

If people try to talk to any of them, they get no response. If people are idle for 1 hour, they should get grayed out and or have an "AFK" next to their name. Knowing who is actually in the lobby and willing/able to play, is of much greater benefit then fooling people into thinking there ...

Do you have a preferred length of time for games? I take the default of 10min for any game type except LMOTH 5 min, and 7 min for STB, KOTH, & Terries.

jason_ac

Interesting. Hah, so to retain new players that try Myth, GoS should have a bunch of dummy names loitering in the lobby at all times?

jason_ac

So I often see 5-10 players in a room lobby on GoS running "M2", but they're not chatting, they're not playing...what is it that they're doing there?
