I while ago I played a game on some server where you could donate money to other people on your team or vice versa.

I was wondering if this could be included in the core patch? I believe this command promotes teamwork and I can't really think of any downside to it.

Yeah, this would be an excellent idea.
If somebody on GDI chooses to give somebody on the opposite team credits, thats their choice, because at the end of the day, their loosing credits and giving the enemy team extra chances to buy a deadly weapon(s) and will result in them loosing.

Also, this will change strategies in like Clanwars, as 1 member on the team might have "6000" creds & another might have "50" creds. And if the ref is down, its going to make the player with "50" creds harder to building up the creds. So if the player with "6000" creds was to give something like "2000" to the "50" creds player, both these players can both buy stealth tanks or meds (or something else) to rush the enemy base. This also shows more Teamwork that can be used.

I'd say this would be one of the best features renegade could ever have.

Andy.

The only downside would be n00bs. Using the money the harvester brings in and giving it to the opposite team.

I think it would be possible to implement it so that you could only donate to members of your own team.

In fact, implementing a Donate console command would probobly be simple enough for anyone who can add new console commands.

Why not just make it so that you can only donate to other teammembers?

I "think" they will make it team donation only if they think logically about this. Razz

I'm not sure if your aware of this but that server you were playing in must have been Black-Cell. They already have this script finished and its only for team based donations. It works good and is proven possible.

I think its a great idea, both team and enemy donate. How fun would it be to add insult to injurie by giving the enemy snipe that you just owned money to buy a new sniper only to shoot him in the face as soon as he sticks his head out.

Good idea, I seen people doing it in our server and wouldn't what the heck they were doing, but they said it works on usa servers so why not here.

I think you should incorporate it so that you can donate to team players alone.

I'm not putting down the donate command, I'm for it, but I can't help thinking that there will be people at the start of every match yelling:

NEED 500 FOR MED I GOOD GIVE MONY PLZ!!!!!!11

or, perhaps:

WE NEED TAEMWORK GIVE ME ALL UR MONEY I WILL WIN 4 US!

Just a thought.

It was good on the WN server with the latest BRenBOT with the !donate command.
At the start of the games we donated about 100 to detharmy8 for him to buy an APC and rush ASAP.

Those were good games, the 1337 feature!!! Smile

We've seen both scenarios played out on BCServ5 for the past few months now, and all we have to say about how it works in game is, "take the bad with the good."

I was in a game that had the !donate command and I was greatly annoyed. I personally took out the enemy Refinery, but it was halfway through the game. The point-mongers had enough credits to supply their team with sbh nukers for the rest of the map.

When I take out an enemy Refinery, it is SUPPOSED to be an inconvenience, not an obstacle to bypass with cheap, whiny hand-outs never intended by game deisgners.

In my opinion this command is almost as bad as cheating. When you have no refinery, you have no income. If you want the ability to buy beacons and Sakuras for your teammates, then keep your Refinery and harvester alive. This bulls*** end-around to make gameplay easier belongs in unladdered, Gamespy games where extras and cheats run rampant.

Like a week ago I was able to keep my whole team funded after we lost the PP and Ref on Under in a marathon game Laughing

We died a slow and boring death after that...

It may have a bad side, but the first minute rushes that it creates are just priceless. Maybe it just takes time to get used to.
