On CG, I have turned on a feature that comes with MapVote. It is a Server Welcome Screen. On it I've placed someinfo about the server and the routine game play with links to this forum and other stuff.

It should only load each time you or anyone else logs on to CG. It will not appear each time the game map changes. Only when you log on. It has a close button at the bottom right side.

Please let me know what you think about it and if you think I need to add additional info etc.

Thanks.

I only find it a minor annoyance....just escape out.

I haven't even got a chance to read it yet. I usually pop in mid game....and who has time to read all that while you are getting fragged? I have gotten a line or two read before someone frags me and I freak out on them.... :-)

Is there any way to make it popup with the mapvote at the end...in the top right so it doesn't cover the map vote? Then I could read it?

I have to agree here. The idea is a good one, but the truth is, when you connect and start hearing explosions and see people running about, the last thing you're going to do is try to read the small print in the welcome window!

I would say that you should keep disseminating all info via the little messages at the top. Not only are they readable in their brevity, but they have been pretty amusing!

Keep it up Herm
Mah

I agree with Mah. The little messages in mid game play I do read...and they are amusing...

my favorite is: "Hey, thanks for playing" lol sounds like walmart.

I think it's annoying as well! Also MapVote should only allow Deck Maps! :twisted:

Funny! Well enough people have spoken against it that I'll turn it back up. What's funny is I have to figure out again how I turned in on so i can turn it back off. It will be off soon.
