Make it so that you can't switch teams accidentally

[oliver]

It is sooo annoying if you (as human) die and click twice and suddenly are a member of the alien - that often happens to me in the heat of battle, and then all my money is lost, same for score, and most times I can't even rejoin old team because someone quickly took my place :-(

THIS SUCKS.

(sorry for the rant, but it makes mood go from sky-high during battle rage to cellar-like when you realise you're out of the game all in a sudden).

(Though, of course, this bug is just the most annoying one in the long queue of usability bugs in Trem :)

Solution: use binds and place the keys far away from each other.

This isn't a bug, it's a feature ;P

Binds aren't the answer Binds never are the answer!

[Caveman]

Opps, it wasn't my intention to support or propagate cheating

[rasz_pl]

yes it sucks, current team/class select menu sucks
I often find myselfe clicking Cancel 10 times just because my mouse moved a little :/

[Undeference]

Binds are the answer. I don't use the menu to respawn. (Also, pressing esc is always faster than clicking cancel.)

Now he's going to make another topic saying "can you make it so you don't leave the game when pressing esc several times? it happens to me often"

[rasz_pl]

Binds are the answer.

4 binds just to spawn? no thank you

Also, pressing esc is always faster than clicking cancel

4 binds? Make that just one: team auto  :wink:

Agreed! First be user friendly. Advanced options must be optional, not required(ofc binding has nothing to do with cheating as someone suggested).

[Undeference]

Playing the game is an advanced option. If it's too complex to play without accidentally switching teams, you should stay on spectators  

[techhead]

We need noobs to play, otherwise we would never get Stage 3 so quickly.

Couldn't it be made so that after joining a game, you get the usual "select a team" dialog followed by the "select rifle/constkit"; and when you spawn, you just get the "select rifle/constkit" option (if you click wrong here, it's only minor annoyance :)

Not sure about other players, but myself I don't switch teams during battle (mostly stay on same team for whole evening). So I would be fine with having to reconnect to the server for changing teams. There could also be a menu option for the team selection dialog.

[Undeference]

The "normal" way to leave or switch teams is to click the Back button (or whatever it's called) on the respawn menu, then to select the new team you want to join.
You can't require people to reconnect to switch teams.
