dim3 Forum

1) I would like to be able to set custom checkboxes in the options menu of a dim3 game. For example, a 'no blood' checkbox which would set a global variable to 'false', and any object which spawned blood particles would instead spawn stars or something. This wouldn't be very useful, but it would be nice to have.
2) I notice that in the networking section, we are restricted to a bunch of stupid-looking primary colours for teams. If you can change the number and names of teams, how do you do that? If not, shouldn't this feature be added? I bet Durandalski would be honking mad. xD

Why would I be mad? I could use that option, to uh, bypass the scripts I've been fiddling with. But that's an upside right?

Oh, I meant you would be honking mad if the feature wasn't added. I mean, which would you prefer as the name of a gung-ho illegal terrorist force, 'Seahawk Division 34' or 'Yellow Team'?

Lol, good point.
I was planning to script teams in seperately from the existing color based teams. Something more along the lines of the Gray and Blue soldiers from the Cival war map. We'll see what happens.

Teams used to be open-ended, but then networking went into high gear and that became a real problem. What I can do is allow the game to rename the teams, but they would stay in the same general position.

Yes, that would be great. Well, that solves problem #2, but nobody has said anything about #1 yet.

Networking is the #2 priority after getting the mesh done, so bring this back up when I get that far.
