Well, I can't say that the pessimistic outlook displayed here is misplaced. There have been many times where promised releases disappear.
Urlforce, don't feel personally targetted by the "v" word. People around here seem to have grown around vaporware and are simply being cautious. No body wants to get their hopes up anymore than they already do. I'm sure nobody here is doing this to be rude or mean to you and your work.
Back on track now. A few suggestions I might make:
How about individual colors for teams. This would make it easier for people to distinguish an opponent, as registering colors is easier than having to read the words before shooting.
The team colors could be chosen through an ini file, and I'm sure through your experience with reading the setup.ini file, this would be very easily done.
I'm willing to wager that CTF would be no trouble at all, once the teams deal is finished and polished. You could simply grab a property out of the entities own file that will determine whether it acts as the flag or not. This way people could make ANY entity a potential "flag" for the game.
Keep up the nice work, bro!
The one and only,
