newb mode..tooltips

gutterflower · Post by **gutterflower** » 19-08-2003 20:54

how about having a option (default on so only non newbies turn it off) that shows tooltips on the screen, for example. If enabled and you spawn in goal "Do not leave the goal, you are keeper" will appear on screen, in reasonably big letters.

if you lock on to someone "right click to pass" will appear

and so on and so forth

when i player gets within a certain proximity to the goal with the ball "Back to goal, defence needed"

when an attacker gets close "goal being attacked" etc..

then people would get pissed at there being such n00b keeps that wouldn't leave o_O

but it would work in other situations

every time the new round starts theres a tip in tge corner for a little? or can you make anything on the loading screen to say a tip as the map loads?

they'd be nice if a pop-up type box was implemented for them... if its just a flash of text accross the screen, it becomes annoying. Containing it to a small portion of the screen is very important.
