dot command to disable other player's salutes
« on: June 30, 2015, 08:10:32 AM »
Does anyone care if player A salutes player B?  I sure don't and it needlessly takes up text buffer space. 

This picture was pilfered from another thread and shows saluting gone amok, but even when it works as intended, why do I need to see other people saluting other people?




It would be nice to have a dot command to disable all salutes that don't pertain to yourself.  . nosalutes or something like that.

You can try squelching channel 1, I think.


<edit>. Meh... Probably not.  Maybe there's a way to set up those radio panels to drop those.

Make Salutes a Private message. Done.

You can fix your text bar settings to eliminate salutes (channel 1) but that means you won't see salutes directed at yourself.

If you mean I should send all salutes as a PM, that changes nothing as I can still see everyone else's salutes.

If you mean HTC should make it a PM, that is basically what I'm asking for, only that when you type .salute "so and so", only "so and so" and you can see it.

If this screenshot was taken recently, the "Dolby" shown in the screenshot isn't our resident JG5 leader and film maker, it's skyyr using the name as a shade.

So that's what happened to my request for vehicle supplies - filed away within the depths of mindless polical wranglings between the two warring nations...
