shorten the vote/name function to ///name or x/name


Recommended Posts

It is a small thing, but it might help a bit.  I have seen that just voting a mult will sometimes make them run away...it is great to get rid of them.  In fact this seems to e the best function of the entire system...I have NEVER seen an admin or mod come into a game and ban or even chastise someone.  Maybe I just never noticed.noticed.

 

Anyway, pulling up the tab menu, coping the offender's name, opening chat, tabbing to both teams chat, writing V O T E /, pasting the offenders name, hitting enter, all take time.  A lot of time from a gamewhen nano seconds count...1/2 second in Tanki can mean life or death.

 

It takes too much time to complete the vote/name function.  Shorten it to //name    Or x/name  Or even ///name for some scary visualization in chat.

Won't help. I don't see how not typing "vote" is much faster. When I need to type someone's name I almost always copy it from the scoreboard with two clicks and paste into chat after typing "/vote ". If you expect this change to increase the amount of players using /vote, then I'm afraid you're wrong.

vote/ is 5 characters...// is 2 and on the same key...even /// is only 3 characters and on the same key.   Not everyone is a great typist.  I disagree that it wouldn't help...might not help you, but it would help me, and I bet it would help many other keyboard klutzes out there.  It is much faster and easier to type "///pastedname" than "vote/pastename"

 

Similar to Microsoft keyboard shortcuts...not necessary, but handy and very convenient.

I think a more important issue is that commands don't work with ///. It needs to follow the same format as the rest of the commands: "/command x", otherwise it doesn't execute a command.
