Minor admin changes
« on: February 05, 2013, 05:26:46 pm »
Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right topic but I'll post it here anyways.
I am admin on several servers, one of them being the 84e_NW_Siege, this server is usually very crouded (usually 150+ people), which makes it hard to properly admin in the current situation. There are 2 things I would like to change:

- There's 2 admin chats, U and I, U is for talking to the people on the server, and I is for talking to the other admins currently on the server. However, there is no difference between U and I, which causes stuff you want to say in the private admin chat (I), to be said in the public admin chat (U), which can be really annoying. Therefore, I would love that the developers make a kind of distinction between them. This can be easily done by changing the name of the chat. If you press U, instead of (Admin chat), you can make it (Public Admin Chat), and you can change I to (Private Admin Chat). This is an easy solution and it removes all the confusion between the 2 chats.

- Also, a problem I encounter whenever I am admining on the 84e_NW_Siege server, is that when there is 200 people in the server, and you try to slay someone it is really hard to find someone's name, an easy solution for this could be to put the names in the *Slay Player*, *Kick Player* (and the other lists) in alphabetical order, making it really easy to find someone and slay, kick or perhaps even ban him.

Let me hear what you think of these solutions, and I hope they will be implemented in the game !

Suggestion from other players

MyNickName - Add in a player search when you are slaying / banning
Cruor_Volt - Different colors being used to report another team's teamkills, for example to a different shade of green, so it will stand out.
Cruor_Volt - For admins to be able to see what players occupy certain troll-sensitive classes, like sappers, in case someone wastes all the buildpoints and the only sapper is nowhere to be found (Make a list of classes such as the sapper, and put the name of who occupies the certain class (sapper in this case) behind it so whenever you have to slay the sapper you don't have to search the entire map, to see who the sapper is)

It's already done by the developpers, but per score. The guy who has got the highest score is the first, the guy who has the worst one is last.

I know it's done by score, but it is still hard to find someone if you don't know his score

I support everything MrSt3fan said plus I'd like to see color used to report another team's teamkills to be changed to a different shade of green (darker\ligther, doesn't really matter as long as it stands out), because it happens often that we only notice it after auto-kick\ban.
And another thing is for admins to be able to see what players occupy certain troll-sensitive classes, like sappers, in case someone wastes all the buildpoints and the only sapper is nowhere to be found.

A really good idea , really annoying that sometimes you wrote a message in Private chat and at the end of your message ...
"Did I really choose "U" or "I" cause if I'm wrong, everybody will see that" :D

You have my support with this idea St3fan :)
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

Easy, trollers are the guys who are down the list. Red for attackers, green for defenders.

That isn't always the case, even though you would think it would be

The ability to snap your view to a player would be good too.

I think he means, instead of spamming LMB until you find the right player, you should be able to choose from a list and start spectating somebody.

Yes, that'd be super-useful.
And maybe increase the speed on spec-cam?
