Medistation usage priority?

Why suggest all these changes, while it is crystal clear these annoyances are purely caused by a lack of common sense, widely referred to as teamplay?

Just build two medistations...

That would require me to ditch a defensive structure, just to build 2 MedPads? No way.


You mostly get away with it. Especialy if you have only one front to cover (like on atcs). It allows you to have more players shooting. And really, one extra turret is not that much to give up for faster healing.

why don't med just heal EVERYONE on it?


why it takes 35 seconds to take another booster?

because its a bug where you can't retake your poison until the poison is gone

Let me delete that double post for you. Here it's done.

Well, that booster thing might be considered a bug, bug if you look at the source code ( specificaly tremulous.h ), you'll find those cute little lines of code :
Code: [Select]
#define BOOSTER_INTERVAL            30000 //time in msec between uses (per player)
#define BOOSTER_REGEN_MOD           2.0f
#define BOOST_TIME                  30000
And thus it is not a bug, it is a feature :D

Edit, and now, for an easy to implement medipack suggestion which will solve the current problem, and give a very small boost for humans : medistation queue is only for health point regen. On the other hand, even if the medistation is healing someone, you can still use it to get cured of poison or to get a new medikit. It will continue healing the player that was using it at the same time.

Who says the design can't be a bug?
I do think that if the medistat gets "improvements", so should the booster (like killing aliens that stand on it for too long).

well I do heard it was a bug in a server I was playing...

also, why don't it be where you buy medkit for free like buying ammunition? How about when you buy ammunition, you get med too? Because that's what my brother thought at first until i explained it and laughed at him and when he beat me up... heh...
