Hi,
Sorry if this has been discussed before but given the unique nature of Renegade, I think it would be greatly convenient if some sort of building health meter is attached in the main screen.
I have seen concept screenshots from Sir Kane and Scrin before that show GDI and Nod building icon on the main screen so players are aware of the health of their buildings...

Hold 'K'.

Um, yeah... he already KNOWS about that. He wants something to be able to view WITHOUT holding a button.
That said, it's probably not going to happen. Many people view it a a hack or a cheat.

If I recall, someone was working on a HUD that could do that. So it is possible.

Yeah, I saw it too. The thread I saw it in was also full of people complaining it was a cheat. I'm not sure myself. It wouldn't be a cheat if it was publicly released, in my opinion.

It is currently seen as a cheat, because it's an unfair advantage. IMO it'd ruin a part of the game. There's a reason why EVA doesn't immeditaely say "xxx under attack", right after it said "yyy under attack". It's too easy to defend if you can keep an eye on every building.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

lol and who decides its a cheat mr.axis?
This belongs in the Mod Section because TT is not going to add things to the game that arent needed, change gameplay too much, and are already in the game(it takes one sec to press K)

That hit my logic senses head on. You are absolutely correct. How could anyone hit a building if the enemies knew the health of it every waking moment? That one trick of hitting one building and running to a different one would be ineffectual as well.

I don't want this feature to be standard.
Especially when only a few people use it. These features would change the gameplay of renegade + everyone can see which building is under attack it makes it useless to fire a 'fake' shot on another building.
Although a proximity mine counter is usefull I dont want to see that on a hud. The fun of renegade is that sometimes you dont know what is comming. (For instance a left over techie that tries to bomb a building, and now you can see there are mines dissapearing on your counter)
At the moment it is an unfair advantage. I like the hud idea as it is in renegade not too much gibberish blocking your screen or giving you too much information that takes away the fun of sneakattacks.
I don't want to see features like this as standard. Preferb I dont want to see them at all.

Doesnt matter if its 10% or 100% it would still fuck up the game too much.. You wouldn't beable to use an engi to place C4 on a building while waiting for your team mate to throw his spare c4 on as well because the enemy would know about it.
As I said, its a cheat.
|
It's not a cheat...It's already available by pressing "K"...

Aye however to always have it present on screen without any interaction from the player is different.. How many players do you know that actually stop... press K, look for the builing and then carry on? 1 in 10? Its the same as having a mine counter always present. Might as well have a vehicle counter since its available if you press J.
|
Not really ppl can be out of the vehicle when u press J, so your attempt to exaggerate to make a point has failed.
