Description M. Kristall 2007-06-08 16:18:35 EDT
I noticed there are different suicide messages based on player gender (e.g., "toasted himself", "toasted herself", "toasted itself") and there is a "sex" cvar that defaults to "male", but the clients don't know each others' in-game genders (ignoring, for the moment, the lack of female models).

Anyway, this adds a couple lines to report gender.

report gender

I'll try adding a user controllable gender thing to the preferences too, later.

Please don't add this to mainstream Tremulous. A male humans is "he", an alien is "it". Unless we add female models (which I do not recommend), "she" would sound stupid. Please preserve the feel of the game. The game is about action, not pr0n. Just because the basic functionality is there and ready to use, doesn't mean we should use it. That is so unprofessional. Be artistic and create new functionalities.

I agree.
