Kill/Death message

[*carnivore]

Hi all.

I'm from the COD4 division but I recently downloaded INS Mod to try it out. I've noticed on some servers, there are **SM messages that tell you who you kill and who you are killed by. I played in both eGO servers last night and noticed that message doesn't appear there. Not trying to sound too confrontational to changing the server properties, but I think this message is quite nice as virtually every other FPS out there tells you who you have killed or been killed by.

Just wondering if this is possible to add.

Thanks,
=(e)=*carnivore

Once you get EG aka admin status you will see it. We use it to admin and to prove OUR PWNAGE! lol

Well, that's not entirely accurate. We set the death notices for admin's only because it was really useful for keeping track of TK'ers. With the new TK punishment system that's coming (muwahaha I have a secret!), this won't be necessary and I've been thinking of enabling death notices for the public.

People really seem to like the feature, and let's face it, our servers aren't really geared toward the "ultra-realism" crowd because there aren't enough of them to keep the servers full. We've got to have that appeal to the masses.

I agree 100%

And yes, everyone should have kill notices or no one. More abused while playing/clearing rooms then used to manage tk's

just like all/some admins having the ability to hear all voice comm's.

Makes the game feel more realistic, FF On, no kill messages. In real life when you kill someone in combat a message dosen't come up saying "you kill blah blah blah". I think INS is the game for real combat ethusiasts. Crosshairs take away the realism element and make the game too easy, when i play counter strike source i end up getting 10-4, 5-2, 14-4 kill/death ratios just because on crosshairs and other features that CSS offers. However, i love CSS aha, it's a crazy fast game...but i'am a die hard fan of INS. PLAY MORE INS!!!

When you put it that way, it makes complete sense. I found myself getting paranoid last night, though, when I was sniping on the uh... "Conveyer Belt" map (don't know the name) and was covering windows in Alpha. I'd see a haji head pop up, tap it, it'd go down, and I'd see the same head pop up in a different window. I was saying to myself, "I JUST gave that dude a third eye! Either I suck at sniping or that dude's got 3" steel plate around his dome."

But I see your point. You guys are going for realism. I'm cool with that.

Levels eG-Leader can see that.

This is killer thinking. With an automated system to manage TK'ers, we have good options.

Thanks for the good work Dryft.

Was that Dryft's secret?

I personally like reading when someone gets killed.. but it does kinda seem also like cheating..because when you kill someone you thought you killed and might of missed can kill you back. Count how many times you look to your lower left after you shoot at someone...ahaha you will never be doing that if that was not enabled..you would be slowly walking trying to make sure you got him...

BUT REMEMBER PEOPLE THIS IS STILL BETA STILL BUGS so all im saying is ... leave it on for everyone to see, (how can i talk crap to hammer and kingback when i kill them and dont know it? huh how! ahahah just another reason to leave it on) and the day we have to buy the game when its released.. we can take it off..to make it a full real game..

i think the messages should be on for the FF OFF server but on for the FF ON server

It has been decided that everyone will get the death messages on both servers and it now works on both servers. Thanks for all the input.
