Two deaths this camp. Can we disable this feature and have it remain off from visit-to-visit?

Voss,

I believe there is a setting so that you can set the join request to come up as text only in the text buffer.

If you set for that, you have to type in an accept command to allow someone to join.

I'll see if I can find it. I am pretty sure it was in teh 1.07 release notes or something like that.... Stay tuned, I'll check.

As promised.. here it is..

command
.showjoin
Toggles .join requests from popups to msg bar

.accept GameID
Accepting a .join

.decline GameID
Declining a .join

Hope that helps.

Do like me : when in a fighter ACCEPT

That piss them greatly (don't forget to squelch the guys too

)

Exactly straffo!

If they do not have the common decency and courtesy to ask to join then accept them, swqelch 'em and lugah as they can't do anything untill you've landed.

Midnight, I am aware of the .showjoin command. My point is that (like the squelch issue) remembering to do this is tedium in itself. How would you like to be zoomed in with a gun about to kill a panzer, only to have a join request blanket your view, and then get the single ping death? or 50ft. off the ramp? or vertical dive at 150ft. chasing 190?

I HATE that! Sometimes I think these bozos are waiting in the tower, see you fighting, landing, or tanking, and send the request just to get you killed. Other times I am more reasonable, but it still pisses me off.

What you need is a cool programmable joysick or voice command software like GameCommander or GameVoice.

At login, activate your macro to
A. squelch dweebs
B. disable join pop-ups
C. Set your default A/C
D. Set your default weapons and fuel loadout
E. Send a greeting message to the arena
F. Send a greeting message to your squad
G. Send a greeting message to your country
H. Set your desired Zoom for gun sight

That's a lot of things, but with a 256 character macro, you can do most of it.

When I use GameCommander, It takes care of B - D. All the other stuff I either don't care or do manually.
