You can't always tell if they're chatting. I've been in many a game when some players stay still for a loooong time. Eventually, they get kicked out due to the time limit.

yeah, that was kind of the model I based this off of, though I tried to make it look a bit different.

As I said earlier, the icon could be more for the teammates. It would serve no purpose to the enemies.

what defense? Read the beginning part of this thread.

If you want to go down that lane of "no need", then there is no need then for chat at all. What's wrong with this idea? How hard could it be for programmers to make it so when a player is typing in chat, a little red dot or something appears next to his callsign. Or maybe, on the chat box to the side, it will say if player XXXX has entered text or something.

Tank I designed on Sketchup. Top: Front: Side: Back:

No I don't think so. Which one? One of stecky's? No. Phantom probably wasn't serious.

I have never seen this in the real server. Do they exist here?

It's a locomotive. It will probably be just for decoration. Maybe you should ask a mapmaker (i.e. PhantomMeat) P.S. @ PhantomMeat. Are you the same person as meatman_95?

i doubt tanki would even fathom making one of our maps, so basically we can do whatever we want.

king_beast, why do you say "we"? Railgunners can be anyone. (In fact, its my most used weapon) Railgunners aren't a generic group of people.

I'm not sure how that could be rendered in a map, though I do agree, rainbows and maps don't mix. I'm going to be working on a map, which there will be secret rooms and passageways, kind of like Pass.

:p

ok, so I have a hornet. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I'm sniped by three m3 rails all at the same time. Why?!!?

So far, the only people who have really contributed to this topic are therussian and Superkid. Does anyone else have a take on this? (sorry about the double post. Just realized it.)

therussian said in a previous post he was "retired" from the admin position. The badge is a thank you from the administration for his service.

What does stand for?

So when will the banners update?

I know, this has happened to me when I left to go do something during a battle. About the indicator: I think it would simply be nice to have for your teammates as sort of an interface, to get some feedback. Not as much for your enemies. It won't really change the physics of the game, just a nice flashy indicator blinky thingy.

Banned FOREVER!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAWWW!!!

How? If they leave and never come back?

Oh really? Thank you Superkid, you have finally seen the light!

Thanks Salvador. :D

Yeah way to go Superkid! Failing in style!

Ok I understand where you're coming from. But sitting ducks are sitting ducks. Why would this indicator have any sort of protection? Just because there is an indicator, doesn't mean that it will cause people to suddenly be so dumb as to start typing right when they're about to get a flag. Apparently, you never type when you play, but others do. This indicator simply might provide some sort of feedback for other players as to what their teammate is doing.
