Pre-Game Chat Attention Grabber

Postby Plasmoid » Thu Oct 05, 2006 9:03 am

I would love something to get peoples attention to get them to ready at the start... you know in case they hit the boss key or glanced away.

Something like a slap with a sound effect when full screen and windowed, and a little notification when minimized to taskbar. Some screenh shaking would be handy too.. but maybe excessive.

I really think something should flash when host is ready (like Rogue Spear used to).

doesnt help if its the host that is idle :lol:

You dont always want to kick your friend too... you just want to give him a gentle nudge.

It shouldn't be too difficult (although admittedly I'm not sure how Defcon is programmed) to implement a simple button that flashes (e.g. the ready button :P) and perhaps the option for a sound and a flash of the minimised icon.
