Re: Server-side change to make messages appear centerscreen?

This might be something to consider implementing if we were having a hard time seeding our server, but as it stands now, our server is usually filled with players who abide by the rules. Our rules are stated very clearly at the loading screen. If players don't notice the warning, they're more than likely going to notice the kick.

Also, there is a message in the bottom right before you get kicked for anything (idle, not joining a squad, admin), but once you see that message, it means you are going to get kicked.

Re: Server-side change to make messages appear centerscreen?

Center messages have been around forever. Usually its a PB warning/kick of some kind although I have seen some custom messages.To tell you the truth in the heat of battle I would rather not have a message in the center of my screen unless it is informing me nukes are inbound. Then I will play for a moment longer and then go get laid. I really see no advantage unless the message is player specific and not abused. For instance "Jimmy Jammer please leave the UNCAP now" in like a bright green color. At that point what possible excuse can a player use as to not seeing the warning. Its in the middle of the screen, will say WTF is this and then actually read it...I see it more as a server side and CC tool...JJ
