Kit-limiting is A-OK

[[R-DEV]e-Gor]

There's something like that in the code at the moment. Although it's not really used in 0.4. And it doesn't stay for the whole round.

We've been working on ways to message specific players... it's harder than you might think. Dice said they'd introduce player specific text messaging in one of the patches (1.3?). And they did. It just doesn't work.

thats dices life story

Kit Limiting in crude terms is, bear safe!

I think if the kit is taken, it should give you the "drunken maniac" kit. Basically, you get two beer bottles. One to drink (you must drink often or, well, i dunno, something bad happens) and another to bash people over the head with!

Of course while you have this kit you have the "swirly screen of death" effect.

On second thought, please don't do that, because if you did that would be the ONLY kit I would play... ever

Is this something that should be added back in? I think it would be good as long is there is a way to disabled it in realityconfig b/c for clan matches this could be a problem.

please don't remove that message spam as it's one of the things that brightens our day.

So true. I love seeing those. I've seen one guy request the same kit over and over every 10 seconds, I was loving his frustration. He eventually left the game. haha.

How did you guys come up with the kit-limiting idea anyway?

We have some improvements coming in the next release. Minor stuff mostly, but a lot of them nonetheless.

KoC had worked on some stuff that made it possible and myself and eGor cooked up the idea one day. And erm... that was about 72 hours after we decided to drop the idea of kit limiting from v0.4 because we couldn't figure out a way to make it work (we were using a totally different approach originally).

Hence that v0.4 kinda went back into development at a time when we figured we were nearly done

I don't see a problem with that. You have to be by a friendly CP or APC to get the kit, so its not like they can just do that anywhere. You shouldn't just roll up in a tank right on a flag, but should provide more of a support role.

This makes it annoying to admin the chat through BFCC. I get all this pink crap and I have to search thought it to find meaningful chat. I love the kit limiting and the message is fine in game. But I hate that it all shows up on my BFCC. Not to mention any message I send to the server in chat is quickly swept away by pink spam.
