orappa Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I've never ever seen anyone complain about this for any other game. Link to comment
l2ebel Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 nope, BURN THE PAUSING! if you cant hold your piss for some mins till you die you have a big problem Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 i know for a fact there is a way to keep track or pausing, with the alt+tab staying in, maybe without the game still "running". try this.. have all info in the client, suppose, somone kills you while alt+tabbed when you bring the window back up...boom, dead. same with most things. i mean, that, the client sends if he killed a actor, if he did... then , the player dies, depending on who killed him, when he gets back ingame. hope you can sort of understand what i mean...

Leviathan Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 (after freezing for 5 seconds VULNERABLE) I like this idea, when you really need the pause (and not becouse you're someone who can't stand alive with it), you'll hide yourself and press pause, so they won't find you (hopefully) for 5 secs, your save and later you'll continue. or at least let the server admin+ choose wich pause options are enabled. (invurnerable, kill, 5 sec method) or make a pause limit (like 5 or something) just like in Age of Mythology. wich makes pauses rare so you will think about it twice before you pause the game. this will prevent using pause as a shield. becouse when you really need it, it's gone!

Kent747 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 what's so bad about dying once, its very frustrating to other players to find a paused player it wasts ammo... and its not allowed in any other mp game Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 well, in other MP games, we could alt+tab.... but, it has already been said, that, in blue, you cannot... and sience there is no external client, when you have to do somthing, say....pee? you have to quit....very uncool. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 ... and its not allowed in any other mp game do you have ever played anohter mp game? seems like you didn't! Link to comment
Kent747 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 ... and its not allowed in any other mp game do you have ever played anohter mp game? seems like you didn't! please inform me of another multiplayer game that allows you to pause thereby rendering you invincible, i'd like to see it.... you aren't pausing in those games you are viewing the menu, big difference.

JacoB Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 allows you to pause thereby rendering you invincible What about rendering you vulnerable for 5 seconds and THEN rendering you invincible. What harm could this cause on a stunt server, or some other game mode like CTF? Link to comment

What harm could this cause on a stunt server, or some other game mode like CTF? on ctf someone could grab the enemy flag and pause till the own flag is returned and opium, you dont have to quit your game, just dont respawn and plz someone list 1 mp game where you can be paused like in the 0.4.x core Link to comment

eAi Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Nothing in blue is the same as 0.4, so saying such things is pointless. eAi Link to comment

VCES>RonSeal Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I used to Play 'Sudden Strike'........ A real time strategy game,like 'Command and Conquer'. It was multiplayer,and it DID allow players to pause. Only drawback was,it paused the whole game for everyone Fortunately any player could also unpause On Topic: If you really have to leave the game......leave. Pausing isnt a necessity,i'm perfectly able to answer the phone/roll a joint/scratch my arse, and play,all at the same time....... If its a poo you need to be doing,find a heli,land on a high building,and rush off to 'Unleash your Cargo'...... 9 times out of 10,everyone is to busy 'Stubbywarring' to track down a heli,fly to your location and kill you.........

Leviathan Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 when I was a mta n00b (long time ago) I did'nt knew you could pause, so I used the method above all the time (but when all helicopters are in use allready, your in deep shit (your own haha)) Link to comment

Only drawback was,it paused the whole game for everyone Fortunately any player could also unpause aye.. it's like that in the Age of Empires series as well, any player can pause, but causes a mass pause, yet any other player can still unpause the game too. I guess this method has it's advantages and drawbacks too i don't think it would work well with large amount of players though. - Bungle Link to comment
StAnToN Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 no pausing implemented would be better as people would not argue as your idea suggested the mass pausing.. Link to comment
Scorp Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 aye.. it's like that in the Age of Empires series as well, any player can pause, but causes a mass pause, yet any other player can still unpause the game too. I guess this method has it's advantages and drawbacks too i don't think it would work well with large amount of players though. - Bungle lol that would sure as hell piss plp off, much more than one pauser (if the pause was locked for instance ) one guy goes off to do something, while the other players have to wait for him to get back, looking at a paused screen.

VCES>RonSeal Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 lol,i wasnt suggesting the 'Sudden Strike' mass pause method...... Just pointing out a MP that allowed pausing. We used to allow the 'pause',give it 30 seconds for our friend to go have a dump or whatever,then un-pause and quickly destroy his Army But for MTA,i see no need for a pause. Link to comment
riahc3 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 If you pause your free to die and get hurt just like in Quake 3, Halo or any other MP game. If would be nice like if in Quake 3, a little icon was above your head saying "PAUSE" or "TYPING" that way you can either 1) Ignore him and wait till hes done to get a clean kill (or just hunt another pray) 2) Be a lamer and kill him and act all powerful and n00bish.

Mate Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 It's not noobish to kill a typing player. It's the victim's fault, if he/she begins to type in the middle of a battle. Link to comment
