Error textboxes
« on: May 03, 2006, 02:46:51 pm »
We have been talking about the laggy menusystem because it is serverside.
What I find very annoying are the error-textboxes (like "You already have that item", "You can't build here", "You don't have money", ...), because it takes very long to close them (because of the previous mentioned system) and you can't do anything until you closed them.
So I suggest just to show a textmessage (just text, like a chatmessage) in order not to disturb the gameplay.

Worse part is when you combine lag + blocking messages. That way, you can buy 3 times the same item, get an error saying that you already have such item, close the message box and get another one saying the exact same thing :)

Or like the times where I select I want to spawn with a Rifle, and sightly after I spawn, the game asks me again which weapon I want to spawn with.

the textbox can stay, we just need a command to turn it off.

You say that but there's already an option to remove some of the annoying message boxes :) But the lag induced questions cannot really be removed like that.

Btw, that doesn't prevents some warnings like "Team as too many players".

What about selecting your team fast enouth that you have a spot in the first spawn wave ? It blocks gameplay when feeders take the first places in the spawn queue :)

Turning the option off STILL doesn't remove all blocking popups. If I remember correctly "more sentience needed" popup is still there.
