Got a great new idea for the game?

Announcements

Okay, as a server owner and admin I find it annoying when I'm trying to announce something to the players such as "Taking Map Requests, what do you want to play on next" often I don't think players get the message as their too deep in the game to notice the little text feed. So what I propose is an announcement feature. At the moment if you win a game a message in big colored text appears such as "Blue Team Won" or if you hit ESC "Y/N" appears in big text. I propose a command from the server console or when your logged in as an admin that allows you to use /announce [Message] and it will appear in the center of the screen using the formatting from the examples. Further, Pyspades could be able to hook into it so when you unlock an airstrike, it appears in the screen "Airstrike Unlocked"! I think this would be beneficial to everyone as players would actually take notice of what the people who are running or administrating are saying.

Basically it will allow important messages from the server, administrators and Pyspades scripts to appear in a highly visual manner that will capture players attention.

I like the idea, although I would have thought that people look at least once in a while. But then, a lot of people are fairly new to the game, and don't pick things up so easily.

Although care would have to be taken to make sure it isn't too "In your face" and distracting.

Make it appear before players respawn. That way it won't be in the way and all attention is given to the map selection.
