Boost Indicator

I think we need a boost indicator, like we have a pass to me one. Maybe a green coloured symbol or something.

ever considering right clicking so your head flashs to tell the person behind you to boost?

Bah, never works, at least on pubs
Even standing in front of the person doesn't clue them you wanna be boosted

i do try that surge. I think people are a bit thick. Having said that, there's no reason why they would pay you any more attention if you were flashing green instead of yellow i suppose.

i think a 'boost me' signal is obsolete.

a player, equipped with a standard brain, will pass to you / boost you when it is appropriate, not when a triangle is flashing.

besides, i have no unused buttons left ;)




btw... a little red/blue text note that tells you the name of the player that boosted you would be nice!

inside the main DB texture file there is a logo that looks like the normal 'pass me' triangle, but with 'boost me' written across it, so im sure it's gonna be added in the future.

what about a marker that appears under your player arrow, aka on the person? :P

"KICK ME" in a round road sign like look lol.

i made a bind to one of my keys that both does a team say ">>Boost Me<< and renames me to ^^BOOST^^

my hopes were that this would show up in my nametag...
the name changes on F1, but it does not change in the name bubble :/ oh well!

EDIT:
... and then on release of the button it changes my name back to normal.

It's on the to-do list and not that hard to do. The only question I got is what button to assign to the boost me icon :)

will that be big to see? the green/yellow ones that come standard are quite smal to see if theres text on it.

well, either a new one, or one we dont need.
Any clue?
Then in the Deathball settings tab you need to add some new buttons to assign
