Post subject:  Some quick MP suggestions

Just wanted to say this after having finally having the pleasure to play multiplayer with several people (6 people on a server, highest I've actually ever seen it, likely due to Jef's video =p ).

First, there should be a way to view the list of players, and which team they are on. Second, I think it would be nice to be able to switch teams without having to disconnect and reconnect.

Finally, I think there should be an option to have the number of bots on teams with more player to be reduced to increase difficulty, especially if there are a bunch of players on one team acting cooperatively.

Press DEL to see the list of players, stats and chat log.

Technically, the number of bots in factions with more players are reduced as each player fills another soldier slot, so less bots can spawn. I guess you're looking to make that effect greater, so that each player soldier takes up several of these slots.

Oh, I didn't know about that delete thing, was it listed in the controls?

Yeah, that's kinda what I was getting at.

Also, bots should have a tendency to stay at lower ranks. Do bots level up as they get kills? I see a bunch of bots with high levels and it leaves players with less opportunity to control squads.

DEL key is not in the config menu, because that key is not configurable. There is a mention about the key in the readme.txt that used to come with the installation, though I don't really expect anyone to read it, and it appears readme.txt slipped from 0.63.

Anyway, DEL, TAB and PAGE UP/DOWN are the one of the worst documented features of the game, I'm sure there will be improvements with that too in the future.

Bots get spawned with random rank points between 0 and 4500, and they do level up with kills. The odds are that they get killed sooner or later, so you'll probably never see a bot with 6-member squad even.
