Something I'd Like To See In The Commander Console

JooJooFlop

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm sure this has been suggested before</div> I'd like to see a little list that can be brought up in the CC that lists all your players and their locations on the map. The main purpose for this would be to make setting waypoints a lot easier. An addition to this list, although not necessary, is if a player requests something or is in trouble their name on the list will change colors much like their little dots on the minimap do.

I'd also ask that this list have your marine's current health and armor next to their names but odds are that would be seen as unbalancing since it would make it much easier for the commander to dump health on the marines as needed. Although this could be offset by giving alien gorges the ability to see the current health/armor of it's fellow aliens in hive sight.

Yeah, this has been brought up a few times - something like a 'roster' of sorts. Some people's suggestions included having the name, health/armor levels, and currently assigned task on there.

Hopefully implemented soon. Like 1.03 soon... does Flayra know about this?

FlatlineUTD

Yes, he knows about it.

oh oh while he's on that, is there anyway to fix the annoying dots (red and blue) that stay on the map even though stuff is destroyed there? Also I';d like enemy OC and DCs to stay on the map even if the marine who saw them moved on.

Inexorable

Speaking of removing the red/blue dots, I'ld be especially grateful if they were at least to be removed when the round ends but the map doesn't change. I commanded a game on Tanith in which all the stuff the Comm had built/dropped in the previous game still showed up as blue dots on the minimap. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

this should be in the suggestions or bugs forum.

Ah yes, I've had that same thing a lot, I would post in bugs but, the thread is here till the mods move it. I have had those dots show up even the next day in a new server and game..bloody wierd...and annoying...ever try and find marines under 10 of those damn things. I swear...I've lost marines on the map because it was so clutered I couldn't see them. Plus end game I have about 40 red dots and I have to tell which one is moving and which isn't...when there are so many it's tough sometimes.

I suppose until 1.3 comes out or so...just have to put up with it...so it goes.
