Title: Alt F4
Post by: Vudak on May 25, 2010, 12:27:09 PM
I'd like "Alt+F4" and its variations automatically changed to the web address for the trainer's site.  Preferably in time for school to let out for the summer.

Although that actually makes a lot of sense.........  They can't change Windows code

But +1 regardless!   :aok

You misunderstand me.  I mean when a player types in the "Alt F4" "joke," have the text buffer read as the address for the trainer's website.

I was actually going to ask for something like that.  treat it like foul language.  When its typed in the text buffer the player gets a warning.

Thanks for the laugh...this cracked me up.

$DIETY forbid anyone actually THINK...far, far better to just do whatever the screen tells you without running it through the pre-processor.

I remember one fondly...
"How do I keep from getting killed?"
After several attempts by people to convince the newb of "alt-f4" someone finally said
"don't get shot"  :rofl

Doesn't that seem like the logical answer?

when people ask that and im around, i just type "turn your aircraft"
shouldnt that be another logical response?

however, i cant help myself whenever i see "how do i get kills?"

i  type "press alt+f4 for heat-seeking missiles" im guilty, i know :(

I don't see a problem here... if someone is dumb enough to fall for that gag, then they deserve to relog.

Besides, it's a mistake you only make once...  I think it's a funny practical joke myself.

I have a video of one of them getting really ticked off after falling for a practical joke right HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

So if the arenas had only 10 people nobody would say alt f4?.  Back in aw late at nite with like only 7 , we would still say something like that. Its an old joke that started in AOL chat rooms (I believe).  But back then it was different keys.  And that is all it is a joke. Lol.

CTRL+C and ALT+F+X were common in the old days, as was CTRL+ALT+DEL back when it would cause an instant soft boot.

My squads preffered practical joke is talking about subs on the country channel...all the noobs start screaming "WHERES THE SUBS?? I WANA JOIN YOUR SUB! ACCEPT MY REQUEST!"  :rofl

And God forbid anyone actually THINK of an original joke to tell.  Far, far better to just be one of the sheep, and do your own small part to not help anything :aok

I like this idea.

I do have to admit that I did chuckle slightly the day I saw a newbie ask 'How do I get rid of the cockpit art?' and the response was 'alt-f4 will definitely get rid of it.'

SHIFT + 4 times ENTER doubles the ammo when inflight

The hell does that do? sounds like you screwed up the "enter 3 times" one.

same but he said four times.  Sounds like a different command.

3 times ENTER and you'll bail. I'm not that mean.

SHIFT and 4 x ENTER gives you double ammo load. Inflight only. Remnants of one  of those AH convention missions. Go try it. It works.

ironically i switched the bail out function from enter 3x to shift-enter 3x :rofl :bolt:

Just hit it fast enough and it should work. If too slow it'll take 3 hits and you'll bail. Less than 1/4 of a second between 3rd and 4th...

Gotta say -1. ALT-F4 is a timeless entry in the annals of computer humor.

I tested your shift + 4 enters thing in my M4, and didn't do squat. Then I tried it in my brewster and it didn't do squat. It doesn't even make you bail out. The worst that will happen from this is the endless crys of :


"ITS NOT WORKING.  WHAT DO I DO? WHY DO I KEEP DYING? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ".EZ" COMMAND?"

You need three more engines for Shift + 4 to work in an M-4.

 :cool:

I still alt + F4 when I try to go to Ground view sometimes.   :headscratch:

Post by: Nemisis on May 28, 2010, 10:31:57 PM
perhaps this will make me sound ignorant, but I thought that shift+4 was the ground view command. Either it is, or I switch modes without thinking when upping.


And didn't it say "shift + 4x enter" at first?


Yeah AWwrgwy, did that in a tiger yesterday. Pissed me off since the tiger was 45 or so when I upped.
