A nostalgic idea (formaly known as A nastalgic idea, if i could spell...)

I know it's a bit taboo to make sugestions.

Can an extra key binding of 50% throttle be added.
I know that bz2 has varring throttle levels through an analog control (joystick).
I was hoping the q key (or mabey any other or a default of unset) could move the throttle at some percentage that is reasonable.

This is in no way required, but it seems it could be easy and I think it would make a nice little additon to Av's BZC.

I guess I am addressing this to GSH.  I hope you take it into consideration.

I haven't seen the code, but I would assume that linking weapons would require isolating the weapon management code, setting it as the default, and allowing it to be overridden by an alternate setup is noted by a boolean in an ODF.  While this would be great, it is probably so difficult, it would be harder than when I tried to add birds to the Marine Biology Case Study Program for AP Computer Science.

Is it possable to already bind a control for 50% throttle or would it require manipulation the the code as stated in my first post?
Oh, I want to mess with this source code, but I would probably break it.

If I ever do get ahold of the BZ2 source code, I think I would end up compleatly replacing it, just from what I've heard about its condition.  I sounds like a fun project, and I wonder what I would have to do to get this code.  If I get a job at Pandemic, do I get to see the code or is it restricted to those who worked on it?


Wow, I went off topic, on topic, off topic again!

A key binding of 50% throttle be added for BZC? If we had a choice, i would rather be able to link weapons. (but we don't have a choice)

Strange things happen when Code Elvesâ,,¢ are around...  'course things break a lot, too, but strange things do happen...

Code Elvesâ,,¢ go wither and yon as they will...

Now, how did that go?

If, late at night, you leave your door unlocked and computer running, every now and then a Code Elf will come in and fix your code.  While this is often beneficial, you should always remember that Code Elves sometimes have a different notion of "fix" than you do.  As your project hurtles towards its release date, when nights grow long and tempers short, you should not leave yourself logged in, lest you find an unexpected new "feature" when you arrive the next morning.

I leave my computer on at night, and that's happened...

I've also aparently done my homework in my sleep, or maby the Elves have homework friends?

It might even be possable to add an extra parameter to a hover craft odf where if it is 0 or it is not set at all the key is ignored.  Or mabey I'm getting way ahead of myself.

damn...

I hate coding, and it almost never works for me...but yet the Code Elfs seem to never want to come my way... T_T

I could have spellc checked, but I was in a hurry when I first posted and forgot about the spelling...

A 50% throttle key would be cool, but I too would rather see weapon linking enabled.

[General BlackDragon]

I'd say ask for the 50% throddle button
