Right click six calls. We need em and we deserve em. Probly pick up 3-400 players when it's implemented.

PLEASE.. RIGHT CLICK 6 CALLS FOR EVERYONE!
AKDejaVu

Yes right on!
Instead of 1.05 htc could have added this major improvement to gameplay! =)
Seriously, its what I miss - makes for better team spirit also if you can help a pal out without losing control typing.
-
...and please make it a feature with two options, on screen text or audio. Wav file perhaps so I can hear Mae Wests voice say, "Hey there big fella. Check yer six sexy.."
-Westy
(really. make the 6 calls an audible as well as textual feature - use selectable)
-
I would much rather see this worked on than some dumb permenant squelch list.
LLB OUT!!!!!!

Gotta agree with Westy. Vocal 6 calls via a WAV file would be GREAT!! I could get my favorite 33rd to do my 6 calls:
Jig: "Ummm..hey dork, you gonna check your 6?"
Crash:"DING!! You going to check your 6 or what?? Gimme a break!"
Arrow:"BRB...on a smoke break. BTW, chk 6."
Nuttz:"WTF DING?? You got a bogie on your 6! You going to break or let him turn you into Philly Cheesesteaks?"
Mayhem (whos been known to have RW problems): "BZZZZT! CRACKLE!!! POP! POP!! BZZZZZZZT"
And finally LanceD: <silence>

In all seriousness...that would be very cool.

Hmm, I think my wav file would have to be either 'Check your 12 o'clock! Er.. I mean, your other 12 o'clock!' or 'Check long six!', meaning the bandit is less than 800m away and closing..
-
audio 6 call would rock. also make it appear in text in sector chat (so as to not have spam gallore of 6 calls on team channel).
Good idea!
-
Good call Westy! If we do get right-click 6 calls, making them audio would be perfect!
-
I've already got one. I just recorded one and stuck it in hit.wav and explode2.wav
It's not worth putting it in hit_4.wav and hit_5.wav as your gonna die anyway with cannon fire and the rifle caliber stuff won't hurt much anyway.
-
Tac, you live in Orlando! Someone lives in the same city as me! WOO! And 6 calls would be good. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I would prefer a thought telemetry system over the mouse click system.
Imagine just thinking "check six you dumb bastard check six" and having that player recieve the message on his text buffer.
If HiTech could pull that one off then I would send him a Cigar!

As long as it doesn't have a cursing filter.

hello all:
As I have not played WBs, I am not sure how this works.
Are you saying I would have to right click on the person I am trying to warn or just right click and the game knows who to warn, what, how, please explain to me, if you want to.

Yes wolf,
You have an active mouse curser in the cockpit and you just place that curser over a nearby friendly and right click/
This sends a system message to the player you selected that basically says "Check six you dumb bastard"

thanks Yeager

Sheesh .. Edmontonians whatcha gonna do withem (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Wolf, you right click on a persons plane or icon within your visual perspective and they get a check six warning in the text buffer.

I have a better idea...
Why don't we just have it where if you click on the bogey behind your wingman, he blows up! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I agree that this 6 calls idea sounds like a good one and the fact that it obviously works so well in WB means that it probably has universal appeal but could we do it as an extended "Friendly padlock" (I hate and detest the mouse and go out of my way to use the keyboard in preference).
(Just my feelings)

We go tthat already. It's called the C-hog.

Agree with Snafu.
I never found the WB right click six call much use. Too awkward to hold a view, fly the plane, and use the mouse. Make it like a "friendly padlock" with one key sequentially highlighting each friendly in the current view, and another key sending the six call. Then the keys can be mapped to a programmable stick or throttle, and the six call can be sent without taking a hand off the flight controls.
-
Ok... I will admit that for those who type for a living or know their keyboard like the palm of their hand (image intentional).... Right click calls aint a big deal maybe but.... Right now... no one gets six calls from me. A typed out six call wouldn't get to them before the funeral. In "RL" everyone was on the radio around you and you could simply speak into the mike at em. Typing in combat was not taught.
I have never seen anyone who tried it that thought it was objectionable. Try that with just about any other "feature".

Hay I fixed RW. How was I supose to know it would react that way to envoromental effect (EAX) on my SB live plat 5.1. I just thought it would be cool to hear me in chipmonk voice in all out 5.1 dolby digital 8)

Bah. I suggested this exact idea 3 years ago in Flying Circus (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Still sounds good to me.
-
Yep, 6 calls with right click (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Oh yes, bring em clickable, audio-enchanced six- calls!!
Uhm, I'd like one with Yankees voice:
"Guess who's behind ya, darling"

Recently switched from WB to AH, because
the last update was ages ago, and I got tired
of waiting for version 3.
The first thing I missed in AH was mouse 6 call.
So lets have it. soon.

Welcome mrniel, that makes a handful of us now (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
My experience with WB is somewhat limited, but this sound like a feature worth having.

Ok, let's put it this way.... does anyone here have a reason why they think we should not have this feature? don't be afraid... step right up. What's the worst that could happen?

I want that TOO (the 6 calls) then at least i'd know why that mouse pointer's floating around on my screen (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I agree with the mouse 6 calls, but it would be a lot easier as the padlock idea mentioned above.
Being able to map a button on my joystick to select friendly in sight, then another one to issue a general 6 call, would be very helpful. I'm surprised we haven't seen this yet- I thought HT implemented it in WB, so you would think that it would be one of the first features here.
I'm really hoping that either HT or Pyro will just stick their head into this thread and offer a thought on this. Please guys?

After reading the title of this post I thought to myself he must be talking about the right click 6 call (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Hitech if you give us this for 1.06 ill be your best friend.

does this mean i have to learn how to use my mouse in my left hand?
dad-gummet! i just got used to learning how to use it with my right hand (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
