Well, I guess the upside of gsa is the universal chat rooms before you enter a game and I got to thinking, at the end of a renegade map there is quite a lengthy amount of time where you do nothing but look at your name and points, and others and thought about call of duty 4 where atleast you can talk before the new map loads. Obviously this will need to change around the way the current end map screen is setup but those text boxes are already built into the client (pt chat boxes). How practical is this from a coding POV?

A lengthy time? more or less 15 seconds if you don't include the loading screen. Not sure exactly what you can type other than "GG" during that period.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Goz, you could type something like "ggs, I'm off now, cya". I like the idea, but it's too much work for this patch. Perhaps later.

Pretty mucgh every onlineshooter offer this feature. So why not Renegade. But on the other hand, its nothing for the first patch. Stick to bugs and performance first.

Thanks.

What kind of shitbox are you running? Takes me a 1 second, windows key->paint, then I get back in and stare at that scren for like ATLEAST 10-15 secs from that point, tho I agree, work out the bugs/gitches first, glad people like the idea.

How can you possibly describe a fast load as run by a "shitbox"? Yours is the shitbox here.

The idea is neat, but I have a feeling this is one of those "we need the source for this" kind of deals.

If I understood Seye correctly, he said it's possible, but it's too big of a project for this patch... :-/

Yeah, it's possible, even without source, but way too much work for this patch.

The intermission time is a FIXED amount of seconds. iirc, it is set to 15 seconds by default and afaik the server can set it in LevelEdit. It is not related to your PC performance at all.
