Title: Disabling Dretch Auto-Bite
Post by: /dev/humancontroller on February 03, 2008, 02:51:55 pm: So what if, at a single click, you could toggle the dretch's touch-to-bite property? In cases where you don't want to attack even accidentally - roflol matches, omfgdeconplzdontattack statuses, etc. The auto-attack status will of course be displayed as a notice, and should be kept throughout the whole game, until changed.

Assuming 1 = dickaround matches; no, the game doesn't need to bloat and complicate itself to add features so that you can dick around.

Assuming 2 = humans got deconed, but you're in their base; I do believe the better solution would be to just leave.

I think he's telling you to program your idea so he and other developers don't waste that much needed time to develop stuff that we all know will be useful.

I think you have a great idea. It'll help confuse the already confused new players or cover up what players already need the hud for, to be aware of their surroundings.

Post by: techhead on March 01, 2008, 01:16:59 pm: Or making machinima, but I guess for that the human player could use /god.
Then again, Tremulous could use more machinima, so encouraging it would be a good thing.
