it all looks great!
will the ping be on the screen? I find that to be helpful sometimes...
will charity be listed anywhere or is that pointless anyway because the server sets it automatically?
will it still have all players speed's listed?
i know, im a pest (p.s. - I like the gauges on the bottom as well)

This is an ongoing debate among the developers. At first, we included every option possible, but then some said it looked cluttered. Then we stripped it down and started adding stuff back in. The screenshots above are a compromise between the two extremes.locutus wrote:it all looks great!

It probably won't be listed, unless one of the developers speaks up and makes an argument for it. Like you said, pointless because the server sets it.will charity be listed anywhere or is that pointless anyway because the server sets it automatically?
This can be done. However, we may run the risk of making the screen cluttered. Suggestions/Comments on this one?will it still have all players speed's listed?
Not a pest at all. I wish more people would speak up and contribute their thoughts/feelings/ideas.i know, im a pest (p.s. - I like the gauges on the bottom as well)

you could display more needles in the same speedometer as you're own, but maybe smaller and more transparant (and in the color of the bikes)Marrow wrote:This can be done.

are there going to be more options besides the onscreen stuff? because if so i would like to have an option to turn all (or part of) the stats on/off.

The gauges , scores, etc can currently be turned on and off via the console. ping and enemies is going back up. The speed of every player was up but a lot of whinging about too much info brought it down But now that I know how to choose what parts are show i can look at inlduing everyones speed rather than just your own with a coice of removing.... Don't hold your breath though for this release. THis relese has many many improvements and as everyone knows patience is a virtue.

Keep up the good work guys. It looks great. Bottom of the screen gauges are best. FPS is important. I don't think we need to know everyones speed but it could be good. ummmmm.... well done. Good things come to those who wait so I am waiting patiently... BTW- I hope this version will be easy for linux users.
We are here today to talk about tomorrow. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will soon be today.
after armagetron advanced, would you please entertain my idea of armagetron: simplified
my ideas are simple, bikes are to be replaced by solid blocks, and the game is to be done in 8 bit colour, prince of persia style
as a matter of fact, the whole game will need to be done prince of persia style. although this game will share nothing with the armagetron we know, prince of persia was an amazing game, and therefore muct be replicated under as many names as possible. other games that you should probably make because i told you to are: doom simplified, windows simplified, and boot disk simplified. thank you for your time
