This was posted in one of the sub forums in this section, and it made me think that the text doesn't need to be removed for everyone, so is there a way to get it to show up ONLY if you are in the same squad as the person requesting the kit. This would allow the squad leader to organize the squad effectively as he knows what people are requesting, allow everyone in the squad to know what the others have AND cut down on the total number of messages. This way a squad will still have all the information they need while eliminating that which they clearly do not need. It will also allow people to help newer players in their squad without having to ask what the message says in chat/voip, so help can be given imediately.

So what does everyone think and is it possible?

PS. I dont remember this ever being suggested and have no idea what to search for, so sorry if it has already been suggested. I cant find it in the already suggested thread.

I like!
but i do not know if it is possible..
well everything is possible with the good equipment
no i think its not suggested before

[pasfreak]

it has been suggested before (by me), and yes, it is possible.

there have been loads of suggestions on this from using the gray help boxes (yes, it is possible, you can see the gray help box pop up with "menu loading" every time you hit escape), to completely eliminating QM messages altogether.

but...keep this thread up, we need it.

you can search for it all you want, but for some reason you cannot find it.
the thread title was "green text spam"
the search DOES NOT work in some cases, contrary to what you may hear. I know this because I cannot find some of the threads that I posted and know I have posted.

Please don't talk about things you don't understand. It's not a simple thing to do. We will be playing around with making it player-specific for v0.7, but acting like you know how to do it is ignorant.

Eh, having the text helps sometimes. Tells me to not bother trying to take some kits and just fight.

How about when someone requests a kit, it just says:
** QM ** GRENADIER KIT [1 of 5]
So, no player name and perhaps the ** QM ** can be removed too?

Instead of the current:
** QM ** xxxx, I've allocated your GRENADIER KIT [1 of 5]

I think that cuts down a decent amount of text...

How about making the QM message for Marksman and Sniper really big, so when someone requests it, everyone knows, that Mr. imatfpwnsnip0r got a sniper rifle

Here we go...
