Randomized quad spawn

[ai]

Plus, this change improves gameplay by putting an action focus at the powerup spawns due to the announcement of the respawn of the powerup.

You don't even play the game. How can you possibly know that?

Um, I'm fairly certain, that is with a 100% confidence that div0 do play the game. Why do you think he doesn't and, why would you even think that he doesn't? Has he or anyone else told you that or are you assuming?

To you other people. The normal pickups are not a problem, powerful items like the strength are. That's why randomizing normal pickups won't happen. Stop being childish people and stop complain about something that is a bit different than what you are used to. Give it a chance before rushing in and screaming. I don't see you guys playing many ladder matches either so what point do you have anyway?

I have positively never seen divverent on any server I regularly play with, CTF, DM, or otherwise. He's from euro like me so I guess if he played we'll be meeting at least sometimes.

The only place I ever see him is on his lazy dog ctf server, dancing with bots, and frankly I don't consider that playing.

[ai]

What you consider is 'playing' is irrelevant. Fact is, div0 is playing the game, which was the issue here and which also is the bottom line.

div0 is playing the game

Alone. With bots. On own server.

DivVerent is in his free time, and he is enjoying it, so he is playing.


I would like to play some matches with that timer above powerup spawns. It sounds pretty fun, and timing things wouldn't be an issue anymore. (I don't time except for "feel" of when stuff should spawn)

Timers above items. Why? What? Isn't it simpler just add the time remaining until strength/shield respawn into the hud? Then even new players will know that this is something to look for. And then you can make it non-fixed if your wish is to destoy the routes.

I would rather have everything or nothing, personally. And between those two, I find nothing (no timer gizmos) slightly preferable.

I don't like quads, there's no honor or glory in them, I only pick them up if it is extremely convenient. Weapons and Health/Armor are what I really care about, but even with them, if they aren't there when I get there, I'll just move on to the next destination.

But folks seem to feel strongly about this feature, so that's why I would suggest adding it to all spawns. That way, if I come to the MG, and the timer at its spawnpoint says 3 seconds, I'll dig in. If it says 20 seconds, then I'm gone.

Alpha, are you nuts?
You never EVER have anything positive to say about this game of the work that people put into it, then you spent all your time and effort trying to piss of the most productive and dedicated developer, and anybody else you can.
Do you actually hate nexuiz and want it to die? or just not give a shit?
What do you care about?
With this attitude that you bring you achieve nothing for your aims, wtf they are.
So why bother?
btw did your clan throw you out?

I'm hoping div0 will not read that, or at least do the smart thing and not react to it. I would like to say though that MAYBE that is because HE spends most of his free time working on improving this already fantastic game, whereas YOU are dividing up your time between pwnzorlolling on said servers and posting WANT DO NOT WANT on this forum? Which you may even think will look cool, but to all the grownups here it makes you look like a twat.

You are talking in a degrading way about his latest offering, the music playing bots. It may sound like a silly thing to occupy yourself with, but he IS using that thing he finds enjoyable and funny to ALSO improve loads of stuff in the game itself and provide features that will later be used in maps that you will WANT because said improvements are awesome.

So why not go further and just put full-blown numerical timers over every pickup spawn point so that everyone is on the same ground? (Not Sarcasm)

If anything, it seems like it would add more strategy to the game.

Very nice idea. It's like in teaching mode in this way. It could help players that don't know what time an item means, or that aren't so good to do it well. Clearly this play mode should be a choice of the players (through votation), so that skilled players can still play without any help by the game.

I think most of the players will like it.
