1.9 beta

Post by METAFrank »

In my first match, the replay started to be annoying after the first 10 minutes cause it simply shows EVERY goal again... even if the ball rolls in.
Maybe you can make a key the scorer has to press if he thinks it was a l33t goal?
Otherwise it wud be disabled on every server after 1 day of 1.9.

replay is ok but as it is sucks, no need for 2 of them, just do 1 slow mo. plus i hate waiting for the 2 replays then the 3,2,1 countdown after the replays, boring and such a waste of time. a 30 min match will now be 50 min long!!!

also the height indicator on the left hand side is gay. it is so distracting to look at, esp. since it grows extra huge. the worst thing about that is the unit of measure. why not put it in meters????!!!! (or feet, have an option for the Americans so they can change units to the Imperial system)

the replays are nice, but yeah if your going to have two at least make the slomo one half the time. but i would prefer it if it only plays the first part of the replay at normal speed and then goes back to normal goal celibration.

when playing offline as well as on tv2, would you add a a tick or something in the deathball player tab to set replays to keeper cam only? so camera 1 and 2 i guess (cube and novemner, so on)? would be nice :)

what if someone was unable to press in time, or had no bind? or idiots who replay every goal? :e

Client side option to enable or disable the view of replays = the best

1. I think it IS possible to press a key in 4 seconds (thats the time till the replay starts in this 1.9 version)

2. no need for a bind since it cud be in the normal DB control options

3.If an idiot replays every goal, it is only ONE idiot, and he would have to score them - if no such key or bind is made it would review EVERY goal anyway

agh
i'll keep saying this over and over

replay is an option, and its an option how often its being shown.
on pubs it will be a bad thing cause there are too many goals scored and it gets annoying

just set replays for vollies, curve shots and shots under .6 seconds... They're the only ones worth watching

hmm

yeah

but i'd say it has to be ONE of the following:
- A volley
- A curve shot under 0.8 seconds
- A normal shot under 0.7 seconds

and even then, there should be an option to stop the replay and return to game (maybe it's voted by the players to stop and return?)

BTW, in the game rules, you can configure how many replays will be shown (0-3).

Perhaps, 1 will become the default when 1.9 is released.

0 will become default on all servers most likely... DB is already taking longer to play because the clock stops now. Unless short reset is on i can expect to play for a good 35-40 minutes opposed to 30 like before. Replays wil slow this down even more because 1 replay is longer than 5 seconds (short reset).

Nah, I can imagine a lot of cool goals which are not covered there :/

how could a goal be cool if it's over 0.7 or 0.8 seconds though?

there would be very few
