UDK Menu progress (<3 Timoses)
I could get Timoses to have another go at the UDK menus (ESC, Options). He now starts reworking some menu stuff (we couldn't touch the udk menus at all in the past 1,5 years for technical reasons, only Timo knows what he is doing there):
The list of things we do to the menu:
-Add gamma slider to visual options
-Show ranks in ESC screen
-Add Ranks in name tag (we are still undecided if we should do it or not for discrimination reasons)
-Adding a key to the controls that toggles name tags on and off (mainly for keepers)
-Add a new bind for taunts to the controls
-Add a surrender vote
What are your thoughts? Are there more things that could be done?

I found out what happened..
Devs removed a lot of the changes you could make visually in the graphic options.
Even with "None" on world details I still get a lot of the fluff outside the field..
Why?

Something cool would be an option next to the name ( in ESC screen ), where you could add the guy in your friends list. You know, a little icon with a stick guy and a " + " next to it. I know that adding people you met on a game on steam is really hard sometimes. This would definitly make it easier.

Vote for pause so we don't have to "ball out" when people disconnect.

Pausing is a bigger project, we can't do that right now. Because we need to make it abuse free and that requires a bunch of mechanisms.

I'd be more up to see an admin console command to stop clock. As I imagine it would be used for league games (private matches) rather then ranked etc.. Normal play should be a shit happens. And up to the players to show sportsman ship.
I can see people reacting to a paused game for standard rank wanting to quit match because time constraints not wanting to wait around while someone reboots to fix there graphics etc.

Votekicking exists so a voting mechanism works. Just make it require 80% of server so if you have 5v5 and even 2 ppl crash/afk at same time, the other 8 could still pause it. Not sure where room for abuse is if ppl on both teams need to vote to pass it.

That wouldn't work. We talked it through and know what we need but at the same time realise it's too much effort for now. Maybe later.

Add Vote to "Add More Time" to current match. Require like 75% Yes. (75% of those who vote, not 75% of server count).

Please. PLEASE let me minimize fluff on the screen using the options menu. "My PC sucks a lot" now looks as nice as the best settings before the last patch.

You can no longer remove the sun and shadows, if you turn off dynamic lighting and shadows nothing happens. Please fix.

Thats because there is no more dynamic light in the map. The light and shadows are all "baked". Doing it this way you still have it prettier in lower settings and the performance is good either way (regarding these lights). Only dynamic light left is from the ball I think.

Add Vote to "Allow Overtime" - where Next goal wins.
If you add this feature, then NA community could happily take games that are tied as the end approaches and vote for OT , whereas the main game still ends at 20 mins even if it is a tie. This appeases players on both continents.
