... will be returning in the next update.
due to constant bitching.

The reason the ingame menu were removed are not really relevant anymore, time was when you could join a server from the ingame menu and then get banned by PB for whitelist violations due to maap files in your folder. Well these days the ingame server list cannot be used because of login and stage 1 auth.
Loading time may increase slightly with having to load the menu, but it gets these whining bitches off my back.

=\ My money says that people will bitch that they can't join from the in-game server list.

I was actually thinking the same thing.

Yes, plz. Bring the menu back. I'm always changing mouse settings and other things on the fly. I always check the IP, and other things while playing in a server.

And plz make us to be able to join servers from in-game.

The account inside has no trainings. I tried the cheat for skiping all trainings, but it doesn't work, I wanted to see if I could join a server from in-game browser, but it always give the error that I didn't trained...


ps: And it would be awesome to have the trainings back, so that u can't join a server without making the trainings, that's also the big difference from AA (realism) to any other crapt online game out there.

Joining a server from the ingame browser or from the assist is really the same. Actually Assist layout is cleaner.
I don't see that much need to adjust settings on the fly (playing windowed, you can even reshape the window if you need a different resolution), except for those who change their gamma/brightness settings every 2 minutes and such.

I understand your point and it's sad to have so-called bitches whining. Especially for something not worthy to gameplay as much as any other sensible side of the game.

I'm going to kill myself today. Good thing statistics say men are more likely to succeed in suicide attempts.

if you return the menu, the bitching will only increase.

Not it won't. If u bring the menu back and AA as it was meant to be, no one can complain.

It will because you still won't be able to join servers via the in-game browser and people will bitch about that.

It lost a lot of realism with the fact that newbes don't need to do the trainings. And I really hate to always be exiting game...

Most everybody had the training done. The majority of people playing 2.5 are veterans that have played AA for a long time. For new players, the training is quite a roadblock and I know of people that give up playing because of the hassle.

And it is possible to brig the menu back, just as easy as hacking AA so that the login system get's redirected to 25Assist instead of the original AA links.

If you want to supply us with the source code, we could re-compile it to chat with the 25Assist authorization server and possibly re-add training (although it would still require a lot of coding and database setup).

And if you guys talked with AA dev's, I think they would kindly do that for you!...

I highly doubt it. I've tried to contact people over the years, including devs and never got a response. There's liability, the code was created under contract and with NDA agreements. Not to mention the software is licensed to the government that paid for it, it would be pretty bad if it got out.

ps: We used to be connected to AA devs on =[SMIRL]=. In fact we had the first modified map ever made (bridge at night), because we were able to get the original compiler used by the devs....

I was a part of that site, I remember it quite well. I even talked with Reverend many times via MSN. My understanding is that the leaked AA editor was ripped from E3 in 2005 which makes sense as the editor is missing various things. It's also setup for the E3 preview with maps and the E3 interface.

It would be quite rare and lucky to have an old beta or dev give out some files. Don't get me wrong, I would love to talk with one and get it to happen but my attempts have failed and I don't see anyone else having success.

Damn it...

But hey THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRYING for all of us! That means something...

Haha reverend and hackerx, yeah. The good old times. They promised a all new smirl with a bunch of sites were all would have the access to the same database so that we could login on all with only one account... Tell him to die 4 that promise (LOL jocking however he can go back to CS and dump coffe on his computer and kill it  ;D).
