Modify player positon numbers

Post by Tzeentch »

Just a quick one regarding the multiplayer,

When you hosta game and it shows on all the maps it begins with the first player on the map being shown as postion ( 0 ). Wouldn't it be better that the first player starts at position 1 and we remove position 0 altogether?

Would be easier to display those positions as std numbers rather than code numbers. numbers in the code start at 0, so this is how it gets displayed. Rather the code could probably be adapted to start at code + 1, or something that most people are more used to.

If player 0 is renamed to player 1, then we'd have to rename player 9 to player 10, and private chat will become much less convenient.

Not sure if I get the correct meaning, but it would not affect the base code numbering only what is displayed on the screen.

Exactly, just what may be displayed on the map in the lobby. Wouldn't need to go about changing map internal stuff.

I often feel confused when I change the players starting position and then the position in the menu also changes for no reason. This is quite annoying. :(
