/buddy and /friends more effective

Actually I can only chat with by buddies/friends and allow them to pass through my item_shield or not being attacked by the sentry gun, or using team heal/energizer on them.

But what about more critical things, like friends not exploding the trip mines, or doing less damage on them, watching their names in green (with seeing too). Or even maybe sharing some of the things they do (like Player1 have given CR x to Player2)

Those are just some ideas, from which of these the trip mine and the damage reduction is the most important for me, but the other ones somehow could be very nice to have to enable some kind of advanced interaction with players.

No to reduced damage. That's

No to reduced damage. That's just BEGGING to be abused.

Colored names when looking at people is clientside.

I don't like the idea of the 'seeing some of the things they do' part.

But the rest, I like.

what crazy said. if we reduce

what crazy said.

if we reduce the damage, people will find many ways to abuse it.

tho, maybe make that a cvar so the server can choose, because if you are playing faction wars or smth, you can enable that for the short time to make the faction wars more interesting

With damage reduction I was

With damage reduction I was meaning that only when you hit a player that is in buddy or friends you make less damage to them, but if they hit you you take the full damage unless you're in his buddy list. That could be controlled with the server cvar for friendlyfire 0/1.

I just said those suggestions to add more variety to choose when deciding how to improve the system, don't take very seriously the random ideas about the messages, but the part with the items/tripmines is very important in buddies IMO

at least you are posting

at least you are posting ideas,

but the reducing damage is really walking a line, it could be really cool, but not if it is widely abused by players.

As I can see it couldn't be abused because only YOU take less damage to your friends, and your friends do full damage on you unless they add you to their lists.

The only way that I can be a little abused is in mass ffa, where everybody sprays, shots and explodes everything, then their friends would survive all that madness. But I still see that reasonable at some point

abused easily lol one person

abused easily lol

one person just buddies everyone and boom, less damage.

For buddies I suppose it wouldn't be that bad, but friends...no.
thats just a perm thing which wouldn't really be good.

That would be stupid, if he adds everyone he will make less damage to them, but they will still do full damage on him

ug, nvm you aren't seeing my point I suppose.

when everyone buddies everyone it just reduces game play unless controlled better.

I'm just thinking it is best as is, but if this was a cvar, that would be better, then servers can choose that or not.

Server variety makes the community stronger.

Why would I add an enemy to

Why would I add an enemy to my friends list? Imagine adding someone to a list that wont allow you to kill him while he's depositing a stash, and remember that after mapchange/restart the buddies disappear.

This could be controlled with g_friendlyfire 0/1

well wasn't part of your

well wasn't part of your request to have buddies last longer...or was that the chatmode thing?

anyway, its not logical for that to be the case, but it could happen

anyway, I used to know someone who could glitch buddies,
and get himself in your buddy list as well as putting you in his.

not seen him in over a year tho.

anyway, the way you said it it sounded like you mean just by having them in buddy list you would take less damage, which is why I thought that.

Will add mindtrick and seeker
Status: Pending»Accepted

Will add mindtrick and seeker targeting ignoring to them. No damange reduction, reporting, or locating.
Also, need to combine those commands into one (with a special arg for account-saved entries).
