Suggestion(s)

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Ok, ProAsm you really need to change the name on the client button to something more obvious, something that noobs will not have trouble finding, like options, settings, or configure ut2vote, or something that noobs will easily find. Also, a large number of people think the sexy announcer is really stupid, including me. I think it would be a really great idea if you changed the default announcer from sexy to female, ut2004's default announcer. And here is a kind of tricky suggestion, it would be really nice if admin's could set the default client options in the ut2vote ini file, and have it so clients could still change them if they wanted. And one more thing, I know I have mentioned this before, but what the heck :) I think it would also be wise to display the kick voting button in the pause screen, if kick voting is enabled. :D

We had a poll a while back about the default announcer, and the sexy announcer won hands down, and its very easy to just change it :)
Regarding the Client button, yes I agree, but what to call it as the button aint very big and cannot fit much on it.
There is no way an Admin can set default settings for the client as... well there is but it gets extremely complicated and involves some tricky replication and netcode between the server and the client and needs to be once off only.

When you say kick voting button in pause screen, what kick voting button in what pause screen.
Excuse the dumb question but what you may call a pause screen for instance we may call it something totally different.

Ok, well mabey the client button should be called settings, options, setup, configuration, config, there are tons of better names then clinet. :D And the pause screen is when you press escape during an online match. You just recently added the map voting button to it in ut2voteb4, and when you have mapvote enabled (not ut2vote) along with kick voting, both the map voting and kick voting buttons are there. The kick voting button should bring up the kick voting screen in ut2vote, as the map voting buton brings up the map voting screen ;) And ok, so admins cant set default client settings, but could the admin at least set the default announcer? Or could the announcer just automaticly be set to whatever it is in the ut2004 settings?

Ok I see your point.
Firstly the MidGameMenu (pause screen) - basically I have no control over this menu as its used soley by UT2004 and all I have done is 'trap' the code by setting bMapVote=True "after" the game has started. This over rides whatever is set in the UT2004.ini file and then I trap the instruction code that opens the normal internal Mapvote when the "Map Voting" button is clicked and just swing it towards UT2Vote.
I'll see is I can do the same trick for the Kick button - no promises :)

I'll also change the 'Client' button to a 'Settings' button and see how that works out.
