Replace current loading screen with Tutorial

[Stiivais]

Okay, now, this will be just a quick repost of another topic back on original forums...
I mean, if there are any visitors in this, new forum, then they will notice for sure xD


Here we go

I hate deuces!!!
You know, those creatures, who run up to the intel, snatch it,
and run in circles until they end up in enemy base.
Its really irritating.
Also, there are such, who spawn in 2 block high space, look around, and throw a grenade below their feet destroying the tunnel, and giving away my position to trigger happy enemy deuces…

What i suggest is – replace loading screen with tutorial, you know, text with tips on stuff…
E.g. controls, map legend (what icons mean), objectives of different modes, and maybe even some basical advice on how to play.

Also, i would like, if the dev would make characters spawn crouched, to prevent further deuceness….

Edit: With dev’s premission, i would make such loading screen myself (.png/.jpeg image, right?),,,

So what do you think, my dead <erm, dear userds?

Hmm that's an interesting idea.
I think the end idea is to have a full menu GUI/integrated server browser, so I think having too much between the picking a game and getting inside the game might not be so good.
That said, I think having a good tutorial made would be useful. If there was a 'help' link in the main menu it could link to wiki/forum where people could easily find tutorials.
e.g. http://www.aceofspadeswiki.com/index.ph ... wbie_Guide is a possibility for a linked resource.

The current before-game screen shows controls, but I suppose having a selection of 'important tips' (varying on each load) would be nice to see - the splash would appear and fade into a picture with a tip or two in it.

It's a nice idea.

Add some good players on there too..

You know how like in madden when the game loads it tells you about that player.
Well we have some good players on ace of spades like Mikilui and tank and stuff.
also add some good clans?

I really like the idea.

Something like a small tutorial about,construction.And indeed about good players.

But the loading screen is pretty fast.

I think that some randomized tips during the respawn timer would be useful to help newer players.Next update will take 30 secs to spawn,maybe every 10 seconds the tip changes.

Another good idea.But they need to define the game first, before adding stuff like that. Those things arent a priority right now.

Love that idea, makes more sense than putting them on the loading screen and probably would help more than just a help button, since no one that is... deucey enough to need the help will bother clicking it.

when i read the title,i thought 'that wouldn't quite work' but then when i read the post i realised it's a fairly good idea. i mean we all don't like newbies (Deuces here) so tips would be just fine to help. and it would help for those boring loading screens.

and maybe tips which help players who don't know where the ******* sneak button is. i've checked the controls and sneak is there (and it isn't the same button as crouch), but it shows keyboard location (or something) not the actual key.

Final Thought:
i approve!

In an older version didn't we have a key map on the load screen? I seem to remember it...

If not the best, then it most certainly is one of the first. I made this, when these forums were unofficial and hosted at http://aos.site50.net/ ... *nostalgic*

It was one of the first posts made in the suggestions forums and at that time,
we had the wordpress forums, these were unofficial, and were hosted at aos.site50.net
