It seems pretty backwards to me that users have to post here to get their honor edited when the total points on their tracker (in most cases) shows proper honor. I think there's 2 ways to permanently eliminate honor claims:

1. PHP coding on Battletracker to update users' accounts by checking total points in their tracker account.
2. Assist could check, upon login, whether total points matches honor and raise it if need be. Or, there can be an option to "set honor to match total BT points" so people can update honor themselves.

Either method could use this scale:

To gain a rough idea of what the users account should be.


A chat I had with Skrewy about this:

Major-Skrewupâ„¢: points only work
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: if they had that tracker
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: through there entire AA time
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: if they reset it etc
Spanky: the majority of users would have their points reclaimed though
Spanky: honor i mean
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: then its-a no-a good-a
Spanky: since most users have the total poitns, it's just that their honor got reset
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: like I started my tracker @ honor 15
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: so my total points
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: might be lower then required for my honor
Spanky: but
Spanky: what's the difference
Spanky: 70 vs 72
Spanky: both are better than 15
Spanky: some users do lose honor points
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: yeah but people WILL winge
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: u know they will
Spanky: yea
Spanky: but my point is
Spanky: MOST accounts have a rough idea of honor through the total points
Spanky: right?
Major-Skrewupâ„¢: yuh

Just an idea to help reduce making users register on another forum and have someone key it in manually. Anything to make getting started via Assist easier.

Maybe lower it all the way, close Assist and then open it up and see if it's saved? Do you have any other audio programs running? In Windows Vista and 7, the sound management will half the volume of both programs if you run multiple audio programs. Like, if I have Songbird and AA running, I can barely hear AA or Songbird. Close one, and the volume goes back up.

Do you really need the brightness, contrast and gamma up that high? If so, it might be best to calibrate your monitor so you see webpages clearly as well.

There's a volume slider in Assist, does it change?

As I said before the Game in old, computers and internet are faster it was designed for the average computer back in 2005..

It takes me less than 5 minutes to download the entire game -Not everybody has this speed of internet and not everybody has uncapped internet
FPS can be maxed out even with on board graphics cards.  My 275GTX is running at idle. -I typically play with my GTX 275 underclocked because the CPU bottlenecks the game
As far as processor goes I could run at least 50 simultaneous copies on the one computer. -That doesn't do AA any good in terms of FPS
As far as ram goes I could run over 40 simultaneous copies. -So you, and a lot of other people, can afford to have better lighting in maps
We used to play this version on dial up 56-64k.  Now we use Adsl 2 or faster 12000-20000K.

All the bugs that are left make the game the game we all love, change it and we are going to kill it even more like with AA3.

My replies are in red above. You guys are just so narrow minded. "It won't benefit me so it's stupid". It comes to a point where I start thinking "why even help if people are just going to bitch and moan without thinking. Why bother to improve FPS, make the maps look better, add nice features WITHOUT changing the gameplay when people like yourself are closed-minded". *shrug* I guess that's why the majority of people on AA are still on Bridge and regular Pipeline.

That doesn't look like a great solution, i think the bezels get a lot in the way, or at least they get in the way of the main object in your screen (the car).

Bezels aren't so bad. The other monitors are more for peripherals. It's something you have to use to get an idea of how practical it is. Besides, you can buy 3 16:9 1080p monitors for $550-$850 and get over 2 million more pixels than you would with a single 16:10 2560x1600 monitor.

Anyway, it is a shame that so many cheap 16:9 TN panels flood the market. But it's also a shame that 16:10 IPS panels are so expensive.

Leopardi, your largest complaint is with your monitor's size. I mean, I guess you could blame AA for being developed in a time where widescreen monitors weren't the norm but in your screenshots, you lose maybe 3" of the players hand? I offered you solutions to the problem. There is another solution but it would likely cause headaches (possibly literally) and that's to change the FOV allowed by Assist servers' PB scans.

Merlin, the point is to have the option. Right now, it's the maps that limit it. Heck, some of mAAp don't even have 13 slots per team! I think it's something that should be gone through and done, it doesn't take much effort and if the hoster lags then they can control slots via Assist.
