Is there a way to get waypoints into the game? I have a large map in early stages, but folks will get lost without waypoints I'm afraid. Irritant? Anyone?

I knew I couldn't possibly be the only one that finds it remarkably odd that the "command screen" actually has no command functionallity.

Now the radar plays just as good of a role as the CC.

to answer your question, yes it is possible to add waypoints into the game

Officially, it's the "command map". :p

On large maps the radar sucks shazbot compared to the command map. If you think the radar compensates, thats probaly because you either never used the CC effectively, or you're a die hard T1 person and never used the less sophisticated CC in T1. The command console and waypoints where used a lot in T2. And yes I know TV isnt't T2 blah blah.

The point is that a lot of people used it, and a lot of them would like to use it in TV.

With the lack of all the extra shiznit in T2, ala tons of sensor options, deployable cameras and stuff, vehicles, and general shazbot that was gotten rid of, I can't see that having a command map as such would be that much use in T:V.

Aside from setting waypoints. Which would be nice.

I'd rather have a targetting laser tho.

Personally I'd love to see the old waypoint system expanded on. It would be damned handy if you could assign a group of guys to all have waypoints to eachother AND a objective point.

Ofcource you would have to do this with som elegance to avoid cluttering the radar/screen over much, but really that can be said about all things.

PS, did some checking and it's totally possible to add in the functionality we want. If IG can't/won't do it, I hope some modders will! If not... well, I might have to get my hands dirty.
