An idea for the Developement Team

[Xog]

Ok, I didn't know who to E-Mail, so I tried the ssforums, but for some reason it was having some errors and I couldn't post. So, here's my post.

This suggestion has probably been made already..but here it is

Possibly putting a timer on macros, like 3-5 seconds or make it so the arena owner can alter the settings for a macro timer?

I know the message limit is in effect, but it's not enough and it's really annoying. People are still sending in 6-10 messages at a time. It's seriously annoying. Can one of the DevTeam members please take this idea into consideration?

Thank you for your time and effort, I greatly appreciate it.

Hi Xog, you designed that Mario arena right? Is there anyway to change the background color from BRIGHT WHITE, to something darker... omg I almost went blind when I went into there today.

But everything else looks quite good, sort of neat how continuum is so customizable to create many diverse games.

Xog, what do you mean? I'm kinda confused...

Umm, wisecherub, just ?go mario and alt tab out and go back in and it'll be a dark grey background..

its fine for me. i wish it would be like mario racing. some race and some shortcuts from those green tunnels. and then remove walls or make them shorter. same with portals they are kinda useless in race. then some spot where race start which isnt on track, place where can start and there is gate which open and close so ppl can race without ER. (hope same system for all race arenas)

that would be cool (you agree if you understand my english )

First of all, no one on the Continuum development team reads these boards.

Second of all, go to View->Options-> Chat tab and click "No duplicate messages". If someone says the exact same thing 2x in a row, it blocks it out. It works for macros too. I also suggest turning on "Disable public macros" as they serve absolutely no good purpose.

[WiseCherub]

Thanks Send for the tip, if I ever go there I will try it out, damn white backgrounds are only good for typing in text boxes.

Also thanks Stabwound, I'll make sure to select no duplicate messages; now I won't see those annoying spam messages.

I was asking some questions regarding tileset limits for SS/Continuum on the SS Developers Board - Game Development Forum and got some good responses.

http://www.ssforum.net/

Appartently with .lvz maps, you can have multiple tilesets, so you can greatly increase beyond the tileset limits.

Some guy on there was talking about using PNG fileformats, seems kinda of interesting.

2D made a racebot about 2 months ago which only required a person to do !start.

And wise heres some info on .LVZ:

I just wanted to let it out. Besides, if TWStaff thinks its a good idea, then they will submit it (I hope)

Oh and as for the "No Duplicate Messages", it doesn't stop the other 7 macros.
Example:
Anyone> COORDS??
Anyone> IM AT J-7
Anyone> NEWBIE
Anyone> I OWN U
Anyone> YOU SUCK
Anyone> IM BETTER THAN YOU
Anyone> HAHAHAHHA EZ

I also think that you can use two macros right after eachother such as (F1) then (F2) and then (F1) again and it would not count as a duplicated message. So, it would be like this:
Anyone> EZ
Anyone> NEWB
Anyone> EZ
Anyone> NEWB
Anyone> EZ
etc.

Thank you. Atleast someone understands where I'm coming from. :P

Just alt+tab and select the application once again, or change arenas. It usually works.
You could also change the gamma on your monitor so it's not so bright, some people adjust it for Metal Gear. I've had some complaints on it from Mario World, but there's always been a solution.
