Something that can really ruin the whole game experience for me is when someone gets a lucky snipe and turns whole game around. It's fine in 5v5 or 4v4 but in 1v1 it can really ruin the fun.
It'd be nice if there was a feature that allowed toggling between enabling sniper or not. Can this be done?

Yes, ZeroAngel can enable\disable this function by .odf editing method. (and create button for it)

Re: Disabling Sniper Rifle
ZA may be able to do so in VSR, and he may be able to send those assets in, but he can not make the change for a vanilla game where it benefits everybody including those who do not play VSR.
It 'may' also be best to make this type of edit from the dll instead of using 'magic odfs'.

Re: Disabling Sniper Rifle
What he is saying is that it can be done through modding.
And yes it should be possible to do via DLL too. For example have player start as isuser_m (sniperless pilot), or make all ships unsnipable, etc. I'd try to get the feature added in VSR if it was requested by multiple people.
Also, tried changing sniper rifle to try and balance out sniping in an earlier VSR release (reducing the 'snipe' radius by 20%, increasing cooldown from 1s -> 3s, and reducing ammo cost by 30%) but it was an unpopular change that I kind of forced on everyone, so I reverted it.

Re: Disabling Sniper Rifle
Might actually be better done in stock, by adding a no sniper option along with respawn with sniper. You would still be able to get one from the armory though. An interesting idea given the way gameplay has evolved to Hi res and super fast connection technology.

Re: Disabling Sniper Rifle
Yeah. I can agree that it wouldnt be a bad option to have.

Re: Disabling Sniper Rifle
Maybe you're thinking of 'respawn with sniper'. That one doesnt affect whether the player starts with a sniper rifle -- only if they respawn with one.DarkCobra262 wrote:I had thought this was already done..

BZC's sniper on/off option works like this, it's a straight on/off option
