    Then make it play only for you and the last player you killed / got killed by?

    Yeah why would you change that? Taunts aren't only there to laugh about who you already killed anyway, it can also be used to let the enemy know about your presence and taunt him that way to show up/stop hiding/start running idk.
    But why should your teammates not being able to hear you anyway?
    Don't do useless stuff like that.

    k lets get this shit rolling again

    have you guys identified the CLASSIC "reselect your class to spawn" bug? - and it's ugly cousin "I CANT SPAWN IN THAT APC no matter what!"*

    *you spawn in an apc, die quick cause youre bad, try to spawn again asap in same apc...nothing happens, change your spawn to rax then back to apc, still won't work. you reselect your class, still nothing, eventually you just spawn somewhere else.

    The second one has never happened to me, but oh god the second one. Trying to spawn and spending ten seconds before realizing that you have the spawn bug and need to reset your class. I don't even what to know what it'd be like to a new player that doesn't know about the bug.

    The spawn selection code is a mess of GOTO's. Rewriting it to be more sane (and hence, bug-proof) is a massive pain, but I guess I'll try and get around to it

    It consists... of GOTOs...

    Mother of god... I knew it'd be bad like everything else, but this takes the cake in terms of legibility, format and structure.

    seriously... don' t use it. You can use if's or whiles or do's hell even a switch statement(which is just a macro for ifs) ANYTHING is better then a goto.

    You forgot Fors, Fors are a miracle for formatting and small loops.

    dont use that either, almost each do/while/for could be turned into a recursive function right away ;)

    recursion functions are one of the most powerful tools available to programers. IF you don't fuck it up that is, otherwise it becomes an annoying bug that can freeze a system.

    to understand recursion you have to first understand recursion ;)

    Empires code, lots of If "1" goto "2"; if "2" goto "1"; if "3" delete system32.exe and goto "1"
    but aren't there cheap and easy tools to find out if it loops, so if you don't want it to loop why would it?

    maybe you should wipe the banana crumbs of the monkey's goto key in ya basement so he hits it less ...
