YOUR FLAG WAS STOLEN BY ... message

Post by Skeeve »

Inspired by this post I'm asking: Could a server message like "YOUR FLAG WAS STOLEN BY ..." be implemented in 2.1?

It's frustrating if you don't hear the drop sound which sometimes happens and notice too late that your flag is gone.

There is a line that tells you someone stole your flag, it's just very hard to notice. :(

prehaps the message that is already there should flash on the screen, as if someone was talking to you.

The problem is that the message on top of the screen usually gets overwritten by the next message immediately. It would be nice if it would just stay there for a second or so, kinda like the "Don't kill teammates!!!" message.

Or even better: Display it where the ID flag displays it's message. That won't be overwritten, right!?

Dont you hate it when your teamate steals your GM or L or WG? What if it said "Don't steal from teamates!!!" ?
