Text chat definitely seems to be a bit broken if you're playing competitively. Although I just play entirely for fun on all-talk servers, so I've never really noticed an issue personally. But there should be some tweaking done in that regard. On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Jonah Hirsch wrote:

Has nobody just just tweaking voice/text chat? Dead can hear all, alive can hear alive (Own team, of course). Dead can't teamsay (So they can still talk(afk, nice pounce, etc.) , but the other team will see it, so trying to ghost won't work as well. On 3/17/09, Patrick Shelley wrote: > Yeah, th

Yeah, thats all well and good - if that works on my server, but if i pub it or join some mates halfway thru a game and its not supported on that server, then im back to square one. I think Valve should maybe consider this as a flaw that needs fixing - lets face it, if a dead survivor can see spawn

Crying on HLCoders won't make Valve do anything. Server plugins will be able to fade a player's screen when they die. That should fix it. 2009/3/17 Patrick Shelley > EDIT: > > PLEASE VALVE !!! Make it so survivors (when they are dead) cannot see > infected when they are spawned !!! This can giv

Well it's technically balanced since both teams can do that when they are survivors. Although it's not a terrible idea to make a server-side option to lock the dead survivors spec mode onto alive survivors only. On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 9:12 AM, Patrick Shelley wrote: > Been meaning to write abo

EDIT: PLEASE VALVE !!! Make it so survivors (when they are dead) cannot see infected when they are spawned !!! This can give a very unfair advantage to otherwise ignorant survivors. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archive
