Hi, busy beaver

1) Well, I agree here. It's almost the same if you have to erase the whole message with ESC and then press Enter to send an empty one (isn't displayed at all), or press ESC to erase and exit the chat, then press T again if you want to write a new comment...Both systems are very very similar...Both aren't that good. I would prefer to be able to mark single words in my message and erase/replace them with new ones instead of deleting my whole message for just one or two stupid mistakes...

2) Nice one. Although it's only good for the shoppa.

3) Yes, shorter taunts would be very nice. And the dev.team won't have to implement autocomplition ability.

4) I don't understand this one. You don't like City theme and the rain together? In order to improve the performance it'll be much better to add an option to enable/disable rain-effect which will affect all themes. I do believe that a lot of the power that the game needs is for this continuos dynamic effect.

5) Well, a nice extra but definitely not a MUST. Besides not everyone has 10 and more human-teams (the AI-teams don't matter, you don't play with them in multi).

6) Maybe I'm wrong but I think something else's planned for this double-clickin' action.

7) Yep, I've just noticed that. Save-button is in this case totally useless.

8) Whut new rope-mode?

9) Nice extra.

10) Planned in the future I think.

11) Good one. Especially when it happenes that the host has slow connection and suddenly disconnects.

12) Not so important.

13) Game shemes which are default in the game at least by me cannot be modified.

14) WWP again

15) Deagle's implemented in the new version (nemo's words). Look in the news page - first or second one.

16) Would be nice although it'll make problems if you don't want to look at the crate but around your hedgehog and plan your strategy. If the map's vast, your hedgehog's somewhere at the left end and a crate drops on the right you'll loose the hedgehog (although you don't want to look at the crate), and will loose precious time to find it again. Kind of a knife with two blades.

17) Better not. In the evening (and I hope in the future - almost 24/7) lots of players are joining and leaving. Your computer will beep a lot...Just like the horrible noises Skype makes (disabled all of them only ring/drop call/file transfer). It'll be pretty annoying.

18) I've suggested something like that (a virtual HW-school) but I guess the idea wasn't so cool as I thought.

19) Would be great although I think it has pretty much to do with the game itself and receiving the data from the network.

20) I think they'll/have fix(ed) that.

21) That's nice. Especially for multi, because it's not so fair if team A always starts before team B.

22) Well, cool, but not necessary. You can always type: "I surrender. Thanks for the game! Was fun to play with you.".

23) Well, nice idea, but you can always name your teams whatever you want to.

24) Dunno about that.

25) Look in the forum...There will be flags and colors.

26)

Thx for the quick reply... it's just food for thought really

@2 Minefield too... usually you want to start with rope and not fire punch

@4 I like the rain, my netbook doesn't. The rain is *only* in the city theme, so a button that turns this off rain would only affect this *one* theme.

@8 I meant new as in, coming from worms.

@13 Game themes can't be modified... weapon sets can. Okay, maybe it doesn't save between program executions, but still. It should be grayed out or something.

@16 You mean a double-edged sword

@17 Won't have to worry about that in any of the rooms I make...

@22 Lol

@multiples of 5 from 10 onwards: my bad

(1) Yes. "Esc". It does already work :-p

(2) Default wep is an interesting approach, but in Shoppa switching to rope is very quick and easy, just hitting F8.
Simpler would be to alter weapon switching so switching to a new wep only occurs on consumption of current wep, that would leave you always on Rope in shoppa if you switched back to it. And, for cases of consumption of wep, defaulting to Skip Turn to avoid people bazookaing themselves after using up their ropes.

(3) Not going to happen. Whole point is taunt should take some time.

(4) If you're on a netbook you'd be better off w/ Reduce Quality all the time But everyone has different needs, this one is a little too special-case. If the rain is really that much of a problem for you, you can remove it in the theme. Is pretty easy.

(5) Meh. Not excited about this one. Someone who cares about it can do it.

(6) Ditto.

(7) Ditto

(8) Definitely not happening. They'll just have to learn it.

(9),(10) This already in works. Smaxx expressed an interest a while ago.

(11) I'd like this, but I don't think it is practical. Ask unC0Rr but I think this'd be a pretty big change. Hosts need to be more responsible is all. Avoid lousy hosts

(12) I like this one. Even though a lot of those wep sets are pretty lame. This one I can actually take an interest in

(13) Confused. It isn't.

(14) Interesting, but I don't feel like trying it. If you care, feel free to implement it.

(15) I added a shots remaining for deagle. I'll add one for shotgun too.

(16) Hm. thought it did do that w/ crates already. Will check.

(17) Yeah, been thinking this would be good, actually. Will look at it.

(18) This seems of limited utility. If you're on your own, make your own room or use quick game if you don't know how to make a room. If you're with someone else, they can host. Anyway, seems to be a complex feature for little benefit.

(19) I think this would require a pretty big engine rework, but check w/ unC0Rr. Issue is that replaying the game is necessary since the game only stores the instructions, so to get to final state all the previous states must be replayed, making it so they aren't visible seems a bit complicated.

(20) Huh? That should be virtually instantaneous. Click slower or... Something is wrong over there impacting your performance. Would like more info on your env. This could also relate to (4).

(21) In discussion already, and other ways to rotate players.

(22) Meh. Dropping out is lame. But don't see surrender as much better than typing something before you quit. If you really feel pwned, just kill off your own hogs.

(23) *shrug* Seems ok, doesn't interest me that much. Making teams is pretty easy.

(24) Naw. That sucks. Defeats purpose.

(25) Naw. And keeps coming up too :-p

(26) Mebbe. I'm fine w/ just my name personally.

Thx nemo...

@1 I never actually tried this, lol. Just assumed it wouldn't work. But still, you have to press enter afterwards, which is kind of annoying.

@3 Didn't know that.

@4 Ok, I turned down the intensity down from 1500 to 200 and that works fine.

@12 Yay!

@13 I thought I was able to change it. Anyway, default wep sets could be grayed out like default game schemes.

@14 Would love to if I thought I could!

@19 Maybe an option to change replay speed or something? Problem for me is that my comp struggles with ropes, so replaying shoppa games at speed is a nightmare.

@25 Aww. Will there be anything? Flags? It's a pain trying to figure out whose team is whose.

Well, there were a couple of discussions plus Tiyuri said in the news (look at the AirStrike-article) that there will be flags on the planes (at least) so... Let's hope it'll happen. I've always liked the team-customization possibilities in Worms. And as it seems there will be such in HW too.
