I would love some in-game taunts on hotkeys. Maybe a few funny quotes, good slam/smack talk lines, or maybe a few commonly used taunts Nothing vulgar, rude, obscene or offensive. Great for those "I PWND YOU" moments but I'm too busy to type an need to focus on my next opponent.
Oh god, the wolololo's But otherwise once we have the "factions " in a few faction specify taunts would be cool
Now you come to mention it, you know what grinds my gears? The match ends rather abruptly not really allowing for post game smack/chinwag/discussion. Some nice taunts wouldn't go amiss either. huehuehue.
If there are going to be taunts, and I very much want them to be in the game, they should be restricted to the commander. Its the closest thing to be customizable and become and avatar for the game, they should emulate the player's reactions as well. Systems even involving a variety of emoticons besides taunting. This could be a cool social system.
Maybe an ingame chat window with the ability to chat with everyone in game or just your team. This picture is an example, maybe have the background of the chat more transparent and have it pop up and down by clicking a button like the blue one If it has a team chat only feature it would be easier for team members to keep track of posted orders, good for those not using chat headsets and or teamspeak to communicate. I would also love the commander having *emotes* or boredom animations!!!!
Arrange your doxen in a lewd shape, and march said lewd shape around in the enemy's radar range. Edit: you can also spell out words with units and buildings. edit edit: For those who don't know, "doxen" is the best way to refer to multiple dox units, and all who say otherwise are wrong.
hahahaha am joining a game now to teach my bots the breast's n buttcheeks formations, and teaching my aircraft the flying middle finger formation.
Holographic flags would be neat. Just something your units can plant anywhere. Like when you wipe out an enemy, crush a base, render a crater on the very face of the planet itself, decorate your own base.
I was mainly asking for it to be put into a neat "User Intractable" UI window, with a scroll bar to help with reviewing past message's or team orders
Are there any extra ideas anyone would like to throw into the mix here on the topic of in game taunts/ taunt hot keys and a Chat UI with a scroll bar for reviewing past messages. I will talk to some of the other modders and see if we could possibly make this a mod if uber aren't considering implementing it.
One game that comes to mind with emotes for me is Lost Planet. Nothing like a friendly wave while you're in someone's sniper scope or a polite bow over an enemy's corpse. Different character models had different taunts, too, which was cool. I'd love to see the commander doing a fist pump and all nearby Bot units following suit. Or fighters doing barrel rolls.
Quake just allowed you to set a macro, so you could just automatically type any preconfigured sentence, with of course coloured letters
i was hoping you would say that im lacking some webscripting skills, but im learning as quick as i can Maybe something a more skilled modder like yourself would be suited to *double wink*
I don't think it's hard to do. I guess you could intercept the "send a chat message" command, check it for i.e. /50 and replace that with "Your destruction is 99% certain". I don't plan to actually do this mod, but it's in the list of things I might end up doing on a whim.
