Description Khalsa 2010-03-07 12:11:59 EST
Players new to the game don't know that they must click when they are ready for the next match.

Proposal - Match end screen should say "Click when ready"

It'd be also cool to make it doesn't require every player to click, more like 70-80% (cvar?). It's not good when whole server has to wait because one guy went afk.

Don't make people click. Use a fixed timer that can be set with a cvar.
Comment 3 Ben Millwood 2010-03-07 13:08:44 EST
Given that you wait a maximum of thirty seconds after the first click, and only for people who joined a team, and there is an allready command, it is very hard to care about this :)

I agree with Amanieu that a fixed timer would be the best option to go about this.  It will stop long waits from people not clicking and it will stop everyone spamming for allready.

I also believe a fixed timer is best so I've created a patch. However, I do not see a need for a cvar (and haven't included one).

Went with another solution: just adding the text Khalsa requested to the tutorial text, in revision 2246.
