This is a plea and an attempt to the devs to implement a fast faves style of inventory selection before the game goes gold and it's too late. Where you select your prefered loadout before you enter the inv and have it automatically buy it wiithout having to choose it EVERY SINGLE TIME! Remember that the success of Tribes was not only based on it's speed but also the low down times and ability to quickly get back into the action adding to the adrenaline rush.
Also, the same goes for re-spawning. Why do you have to choose your spawn point EVERY SINGLE TIME, even on maps with ONE spawn point! You should be able to choose where you want to automatically re-spawn and anytime you want to change it, you just bring up the map. Simple as that. Again this is about eliminating repetitiveness and redundancy that adds nothing to the game.
A second minor annoyance: The hud isn't exactly intuitive. First, the score hud. Look at Jotun's hud for something that's a little better. Secondly, where the F*CK is the flag hud? You have no way of knowing WHO has the flag or even if the flag is home or not! How could something as vital and crucial to CTF as this be overlooked? Shame on you devs!
Emilee 09-10-2004, 04:59 AM The Shift+button for Invs isnt bad. Its pretty fast. But I would like to pre-select a loadout, and just have it automatically done when I walk up to it. I can live with how it is now though.
I would also like to select, and keep a spawn point.
A flag hud would be nice to know who has it, and if its home or not. Yea you can see your radar and see where the flag is, but for a very quick look a hud would be ideal.
JodoFett 09-10-2004, 05:58 AM I am fine with the way it is now. Flag HUD I would really like to have.
FiENDx 09-10-2004, 07:59 AM i want the command map but already lots asked for in here so i wont bother
Astro-Lorf 09-10-2004, 08:02 AM Pack update key too >:\ Having multiple load outs for multiple packs is retarded.
Njal Storm 09-10-2004, 08:27 AM i think the t2 system for inventory was on the mark. i liked the ability to select or rather tweak my loadout to my enemy while there is a lull in combat & away form the pad.
i would support that again. i would be happy with just being able to just hit shift on the pad to get the last selected.
totally agree with the spawn point and last selected.
kalten 09-10-2004, 08:43 AM agreed with all your points, inven system and spawn point choosing piss me off
Nikita 09-10-2004, 08:47 AM Fast faves + fast spawn. Yes please.
Tessio 09-10-2004, 08:55 AM I too would really like to have a flag status hud.. too often I don't know where the flags are, and it has made a huge difference in the few scrims I've played.
Polaris 09-10-2004, 09:03 AM oh just deal with the inventory thing. Its not the end of the world.
And i'm sure there will be a player-made flag hudat some point.
Banditman 09-10-2004, 10:04 AM Why should we "just deal with it" when T2 was far superior, and even T1, with some of the "Fast Faves" scripts was superior.
Why should we take a step back just so we can have some "positive reinforcement" from interacting with a freakin' INV station?
LaZyDayZ 09-10-2004, 10:13 AM I agree, with original post. Fast Favs selectable before entering Inv and the spawn selector is ridiculous.
82nd Mofo 09-10-2004, 10:36 AM let me direct you to my already old thread with the same subject...it didnt get much attention, i dont know why.

Writer 09-10-2004, 10:38 AM TBH, I'd be happy if it just bought your previous loadout if you pressed and released the shift key on its own.
It works that way to refresh the current loadout (i.e. to fill up your ammo) and is pretty quick...it would be nice if you could buy the same loadout you bought last time that way.

Fast Faves/Fast Spawns/Flag HUD
Flag huds were one of the most common things that have been scripted through T1/T2, and Faves were probly right there with the Flag huds, so why take them out now, when we don't have a choice to possibly fix it ourselves?

because hitting shift-q is seriously not that hard.

Maybe they could make the loadouts "bindable". Then we could use the numpad again.
I'm not too annoyed by the respawn screen. It's one of the few times that I actually look at the map.
Bring on the Flag HUD (maybe disable the other team's flag info if the sensor is down?)
I'd like see them fix the voice chat too (take out the delay between menus).
