Command Interface Wishes And Confusions

Icculus

ok, i love playing commander....except for one thing. If someone requests ammo or health or whatever i cant jump to that command with the jump button. It only seems to work if the last radio message was from the woman's voice, if a marine says something i cant jump to it. THis is irritating because if someone on the other side of the map asks for ammor or health i should be able to just jump right to them, even more confusing is that sometimes the woman will say "soldier needs ammo" or something, then i CAN jump to it.... i just wish it was a little more clear and/or streamlined.

been seeing the aliens start to own lately, makes me happy hehe, for the first time today i heard some marine say "jeez aliens are overpowered"...after all the "marines are overpowered" threads in here i thought it was quite funny, just shows no one really knows what they are doing yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Uhm, as far as I know, the female voice will only say: "Marine needs ammo" or "Marine needs health" if the marine is on the other side of the map seeing as you can't hear what they say then.

If they're close to your position though you should hear them say stuff like: "I need some ammo over here"
Atleast that's how it works as far as I know, i've never experienced hearing someone say: "I need health!" when they're on the other side of the map.

If the marine uses the pop-up menu to request ammor or health, you will always be able to 'jump' to them. If they just say it, then you can't. The pop-up menu isn't just there for show.

i understand the difference now and why it happens, but the fact remains that if the marine says it through the radio i cant jump to him.... and he isnt always right in the screen, so it gets tricky.... im sure ill get the hang of it eventually.... i love commanding

Personally I think there should be a list of player names on one of the sides that you could just click to automatically jump to them they could like flash when they requested something.
Also when I was commander (once) the marine's didn't have little name tags on them unless I moved my cursor over them. I think they should automatically be named... would just be less confusing this way IMO.

I think the biggest fault I've found with Natural Selection is a PROPER manual. However all we got was just an information manual (Don't take me wrong, I love my tech tree) and it did not included anything like server varibles, information of what the different coloured rings are in hive sight, etc, etc.

A lot of commanders won't know this command exists, so be sure to tell your commander about it.
