Flag Selection...

Post by Timberwolf »

Hey,

Any way to change the flag selection while in the game?

This one definitely isn't a big deal, but the first person (team) in gets the green flag always.

Take SMC Domination for example:

The match isn't 50/50 - I'd say green has about a 55/45 advantage over yellow in terms of getting dog to base alive.

So, you try to switch up flags every match or so. But it's the first listed as green unless you get into a big thing about people leaving and letting someone else own (and that's impossible when they don't speak English; just ask distrug, ovi and djgeo lol)

What about a command the camp owner can use prematch to designate a different flag perhaps?

Maybe it doesn't matter. We just have a tough time getting the right flag everyone wants and still having a good camp owner who isn't blinking in and out and messing up the game.

:cheers:

Josh,

The rule is very simple: the first listed team gets the green base.
Cannot be changed during the game for several reasons:
- the server does not store any info about camps.
- you will mess up the score
- if the camp owner loses the connection, the other players must keep the settings
- no one can predict when and if a new player will join/leave this camp
:wink:
