SUGGESTION: Enable fully shared unit control

[Marked]

Full share allows for people who are AFK to continue to play the game and support others while not being there via someone else given control. Say I build an enhanced tower base at euro and seacow can't get in.. Well he will go out and feed more but enhanced won't hold, if I had full control I would give it to someone and they could upgrade my enhanced to supers while I'm not even at my computer anymore playing but the rest of the builders don't have to take a loss.

Well thats true but maybe you shouldnt go afk for 10 mins as builder? Someone else isnt either.

Sometimes unexpected things come up and you're brought to the real life because it's more important that one ID game, but others are playing and if they have the opportunity to fix things since you are busy with IRL which is expectable always then they should be able to have full control.

[Black_Eye]

Thats true but you seem to ignore what is important to the majority of the communti, the feederboard is gone.
+ the games where you lose because someone has to go afk are maybe 1 out of 100.
But in the 99 other cases you just denie us the feederboard.
=> It should not be inside the cfg of the pub bot. Maybe add an option to the priv hostbots.

Pros & cons of the feeder board?

Pros:
1) See how much you fed so you don't feed as much.
2) For players to feel good about themselves.

Cons:
1) People will flame feeders.
2) New players will be less reluctant to play the game from extra flaming which ID already has enough in a competitive game.

[spoiler=]Advantages of full shared unit control:

1) Take over afkers.
2) Basically the same as -builder command without the guy leaving or abuse kicking if you become an observer - with a few downsides like not being able to buy from shops. (bug?)
3) More micro and better teamwork for both minions and builders.

The only downsides I can think of are :

1) Multibox and/or bandodgers have more leeway to ruin the game, as if one builder isn't enough to ruin the game (maybe double the builders, double the fun?). Also, not to mention that multibox is bannable already so this disadvantage is redundant.
2) Replaces feeder board with the shared unit's resources. (Everyone was okay with 3.0.6e having no feeder board, it's pretty much just mainly used for flaming purposes anyway)[/spoiler]

Feeder board isn't really that important.

Well not really feeders get flamed even without feederboard.
I dont mind new players but I do mind stupidity. Some of them dont want any help
nor do they listen to real advice and the feederboard just allows to analyze your own
play better.

The leader board issue is fixable in the map. If @Neco is interested, I can get him the code that is used in the swat aftermath map to fix it.

[Marked]

Well It sounds good, full control is great addition, just have to wait half a hear for neco to respond.

Means: Disable it until neco added the code and released beta map.

[TimmyTheTauren]

Means: Not a huge deal we can leave it on and survive till new version.

Means: Disable it until neco added the code and released beta map.

Is there an ETA on this? How long does it normally take between versions? (There's usually a new Swat version every 2-6 months, which is why I'm asking). I heard there is a lot of stuff that needs fixing and stuff, so I know it might take some time, but I'm just curious if there was a tentative release date in the next few months?

busy with job / life / university right now.

leaderboard super easy to fix (already implemented in latest editor version) just ugly.

words.

If you want my attention then just include my name in your post like teller did and I get an email about it.

Reply will be pretty much instant as I have to read all my Uni emails every second of the day...

Iirc full shared unit control is turned on, I just played a few games where Pongu killed my feeder board. Haven't really tested out the function yet though.

EDIT: @uakf.b Apparently someone took it back off again. Ent pls.
EDIT2: Also, ENTID is down. :/
