Two wishes for more information.

#1

Could give most players a better clue how 'the war' is going and particularly if one side is about to win it. Currently you would have to know the initial base distribution, count captured fields and compare that number to the total number of fields to do the same if it's not your own country.




#2

A new dot command : .time
Shows for how long a terrain has been up.

Mainly because arena resets for reaching the 7 day time limit are coming without any warning at all. While that is a minor annoyance when flying a fighter or similar 'quick' missions, it really sucks if you are coming home from the single 2h strat raid you can do in a week

#1 = +1
#2 = +1

[Volron]

What about adding this to #2 as well?

When you log in it will tell you in the text buffer: "SYSTEM: Arena has been up for X days. Resets in X days."

Either way, +1 for both.

I've been wanting something like #1 for
a while. +2

[tunnelrat]

Heck yeah +2

These are the dumbest Idea I have ever heard. Don't you know .time is for setting the time?
And you know how long this would take to write?





































Was a simple host change, Ill try to get it installed early next week with arena resets that will be happening.

No I didn't know that exactly, but I figured that if ever implemented you would probably be able to assing any name that would be appropriate or free.

And you know how long this would take to write?

No I don't. But then I still can't imagine how this could be so difficult, to track when the last reset had been. But even if it is, I wonder how a wish for tracking the uptime of a map could becalled "the dumbest wish ever". I was at least expecting "both die in a collision" or "get rid of GV" or others like these would have been dumber.

Care to elaborate?

I'm pretty sure hitech's saying it's already done and will be out soon.   

[Lusche]

Well, if I had seen the picture at that time, my answer would have been different

Hmmm... could still edit it... naaa, I let it stand as is 

[LCADolby]

Dumbest Idea!? HiTech has forgotten the "David Wales". 

[Lusche]

No, he just made a joke I didn't get 

[bustr]

Hitech has a little fun and everyone hides under the tables thinking it's fire and brimstone as usual. Sort of the motivational saying "When I want your opinion......".

He's got us well trained after all of these years.

More players should copy Luche's style of presentation when asking Hitech for things. I always wondered why these things were missing from the drop down on the clipboard map. Thank you Lusche for asking, and thank you Hitech for seeing value added in the request.

Colour me surprised.. You got it, but then you didn't get it.

But congrats on getting it.
