Influx of new players

[hitech]

Just had a thought.

if(strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"alt") != NULL && strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"f4") != NULL)
{
    exit(0);
}

^^^^ It's about time.

Just had a thought.

if(strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"alt") != NULL && strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"f4") != NULL)
{
    exit(0);

HiTech

Could you make it the one sending the alt + F4 solution is ejected as well.

[hyzer]

if(strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"alt") != NULL && strstr(Msg->Un.chat.Text.Text,"f4") != NULL)
{
    exit(0);
}

Now this is a text filter with teeth.

Only took ya 15-20 years

  Is there someway to direct New Players to the training arena? I help them all the time on the help channel but some need more help than can be given in a few sentences.
   
    CAN'T TAKE OFF!
    HOW TO FLY!
    WHAT I DO?
    WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
    HOW DO I DROP BOMBS?
    HOW TO FIRE ROCKETS?
    and then of course after they finally take off.....(on Help Channel) I am in Bombers headed to X base. Try to inform them "Help Channel Enemy can read" but they ignore me and I give up.

    Maybe a message to direct noobs to Training Arena would help instead of annoying players in the MA and decreasing frustration of 2 weekers that may drive them away.   

[RTHolmes]

^ this.


updating the help section so its helpful would also be ... um ... helpful

[AHTbolt]

Just great more people to shoot me down.

[Wiley]

So who's running the pool on how many squadname variations on 'Redtails' we're going to see spring up in the next month?  Put me down to cover 23 through 26.

I also support Hitech's alt-f4 idea.  Frankly I'm a bit surprised it's not in there already.

That would be awesome!  The only thing that would have made it more awesome would be if you had done it without telling anyone!

I call dibs on mentoring the better quality ones!!!   

But how could you compete against the self-proclaimed great ones?    


For those of you that don't know, Shane has spent untold hours over the years helping people. Although in his own way and style. 

[RTHolmes]

server logs will indicate whether alt-F4 is a problem. I assume since the above coad hasnt been added, it isnt.

Shane took the time to help me with not only fighting technique, but also computer optimization one night in the AvA.

If he isn't careful, he might just tarnish his bad reputation.



Anyway, what is the freq for help channel?

It's not a frequency. You tune to it like you would tune to country, area, squad, etc. It's Orange text, and transmits to all three countries.

CC, found it.

You know, I've been beating my head against the brick wall we know as Aces High for ~2 years and never knew that was there.

Perhaps HTC should make one of the text channels "help" by default.
