| Description | One of the things that seems cumbersome when trying to play team based game modes, such as TDM or CTF, is the lack of a way for Zandronum to handle a player's current team color. If there was a way for a player to have his team color kept track of client side, it would enable the bypass of the selection screen and enable a sort of 'quick join' possible. A 'preferred team' variable would only be overwritten when a players actually changes team either through console or the select screen. Such a system would also stop the instances of players joining the wrong team,(usually when they join a team and then swap to the other on), upon map restart or change. It could work alongside the current system giving players the option to press space bar to select their team or press their 'use' key to join their current team color.
In addition, having a 'player override color' option is something that would benefit players who either have eye problems or just for whatever reason would like to have their opponents all one color. Games such as Qlive and Warsow allow players to set their enemy colors. A modern feature such as this would only benefit Zandronum. |
