Marine Radio Locations

Post by TopHatPenguin » 25 Nov 2015, 12:42

Summary: Basically this suggestion is to have the location of where you are implemented into your radio chat but it won't be a constant update as in say i go from The Nexus to Hydro it won't change, The idea is for radio chat to have "Planet" after your name if you are speaking from anywhere on the plant and for both Sulaco z-levels have it say Sulaco.

Kind of like this for instance Image but it would also be in squad chat Image as well so you would know if certain marines were on the planet or Sulaco.

Benefits: Knowing if your squadmates are on the planet or sulaco.

Details: Basically the summary.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding.

This Suggestion... EH...

Alex Graves shouts (ALPHA) [Location: Hydro] "AAAAAAH! ALIEN ATTACKING ME!"
Oosala Wooki shouts (BRAVO) [Location: Nexus] "NOW SOMEHOW AFTER HEARING YOU! I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! HELP IS ON THE WAY!"
Bill Carson says (DELTA) [Location: Power] "How do you know where he is?"
Oosala Wooki shouts (BRAVO) [Location: Jungle] "By Hearing him, lad!"

Seems kinda conflicting to me, also it seems to stretch the line too far to the end of the window chat bar. I hate when that usually happens and the line breaks to a new line. Although, it ruins the purpose of aliens stealthily attacking a victim. Weren't we trying we trying to enable Marines and Aliens to do stealthily things?

Even though, I'm a marine, and I like suspense and looking for clues of trying to find where victim marine is at.

No, What I mean by location is it would either be Sulaco (If you were on the Sulaco) or Lv 624 (If you were on the planet)

It also does say this in the suggestion, ah well.

...Still...

Alex Graves says, [ECHO] [Location: Planet] "I'm dying!"
Oosala Wooki says, [OMEGA] [Location: Sulaco] "From hearing you! I know where you are, help is on the way!"
Oosala Wooki shouts, [OMEGA] [Location: Rasputin] "Hang tight!"

I can see your point about it cluttering chat, however if you removed parts of it like so:

Alex Graves says, [ECHO] [Planet] "I'm dying!"
Osalaa Wooki says, [OMEGA] [Sulaco] "From hearing you! I know where you are, help is on the way!"
Osalaa Wooki shouts, [OMEGA] [Rasputin] "Hang tight!"


Anywho, I just believe if it's like the above example it should be fine. This could also be limited to squad channels, command and engineering then atleast it wouldn't clutter the general radio chat.

Denied. I don't like this idea at all. Just say where you are.
