I've been working on some small features to help new players get started with EX. The one that's most developed so far is an optional loading screen for the maps. The idea being that players can get clued in and have a chance to read about the map and it's objectives without anyone shooting at them.
Eventually i'd like to have a standard sort of overview format of each maps for their loading screen. First though I think all the official maps need a loading screen of some kind. And I would like YOU to contribute loading screen images. So far the feature i've coded allows for an image up to 640x480, so that's your limit. Apart from that anything goes. Please post your loading screens in replies to this thread.
The second feature in the pipeline is a per class "hint" to be displayed when a player spawns with that class the first few times. Things like "Your secondary attack cloaks you" for Lictors or "Press 3 to switch to your Boltgun" for Veterans. If you have any suggestions for tips on any of the classes please post them in replies to this thread.
I'd also like to get in some general tips about playing EX, like crouching to improve accuracy, using the Tactical Overview and the built in Map Voting. Not quite sure how to handle those yet, suggestions in this thread please.
