New player commands and
tools
Whilst many of
the features of Follow Freeman were designed to either be effective
in-game (such as the Administration area of the ReadyRoom), or
behind-the-scenes (such as the Save/Restore system) to provide smooth
gameplay, some of our features are provided as new key bindings (via
Options/Keyboard). Some of these include:
Ready Room voting
If
players are finding a level particularly difficult (the Difficulty
setting is too high), or players wish to try another BattleZone or Mod,
a bound-key is defined that allows each individual player to vote to go
back to the ReadyRoom. This works in a toggle mode - press the key once
and you vote to go to the ReadyRoom (with a notification being sent to
all players of your voting choice). A player remains voted to go to the
ReadyRoom until all players have voted to go there, in which case the
server will return to the ReadyRoom. If a player presses the key again,
it signifies that they no longer wish to go to the ReadyRoom.
Restart Round voting
As
with the ReadyRoom vote, players can also vote to Restart the current
level from the beginning.
Stuck
There
are certain circumstances where players can become stuck on/in physics
objects due to penetration problems. This does not happen very often,
but is possible. A bound-key is used for this scenario so that players
can move slightly away from the penetrated entity until they are no
longer stuck.
