    Hey, I think it'd be great if idea gameplay wise, if we had a blue shield marker (as a defend this location thing for squad leaders and commander) as oppose to just the Attack and Move markers. I think it would help squadplay and pub games quite a bit. As a comm, it would save a [​IMG]
    Lot of time, yelling and screaming (It gives the players more of an idea of what the commander wants, easily) As for the coding process of that, it could be as simple as copying everything for the move marker and changing the color values, a sprite, voice command, bind (for commander) For the squad leader, it's less necessary (and they already have "guard this unit" ) This is just a plea, if someone else wants to look into it. If not, when I have time, i'll see what could done (But, i'm not super knowledgeable in coding, so, help would be appreciated)

    I think the overall UI could use more Icons to represent what is going on. Most modern games make use of that now. As they say, an image is like a thousand words.

    The problem is with the voiceover. We don't have access to either voice actor, haven't had for years.

    Also no UI designer person, but that is secondary.

    Could you not redo the voice lines, or would that just be too much of a change?

    Long story short, this is a big undertaking that would influence a core part of the game and basically every single round played, and we have nobody to do both the vocals and their editing.

    Does it have to be a voice? Sound could be used.

    I know, some consistency would be nice.

    But should we not have good things, just because there is no voice actor?

    Yeah UI might be issue.

    Still Mikleos plugin has "objectives". That could be expanded.
