I know one could come up with binds for this, but maybe the game should have at least two configurable hails.

I use one for routine "hello" type of hail but, sometimes, a more direct hail is required (so to say).

Along the line with this, I'd like to be able to have seperate hail messages for seperate characters in the same account. Maybe even extend that so seperate characters can have very seperate configs, say all characters load the main wgaf.cfg, but there could also be a <character_name>-wgaf.cfg that would also be loaded. The tricky thing would be determining where to save changes made in-game.

[Stamp of approval]

Been thinking along those lines myself. At the very least seperate character hails would be nice.

Ooh... I have a fun idea for hails. Make a bind so that it selects from a new hail after every time you use it. Fortunately, this doesn't require any change to the game.

I've done that. But what I'm thinking mgl_mouser is leaning towards, is hails more appropriate for the different situations and relationships we get into in Vendetta. I'm Itani, in Bractus Watch just before a convoy leaves, I'd like my hail to Serco pilots to not be quite so friendly as my hail to Itani pilots.

The bind is fairly easy and you can have as many as free keys on your keyboard.

An example:

alias UIT_lurking_around_our_beloved_trans "msg %target% Greetings from the IDF - leave the sector immediately or we open fire"

bind anykey UIT_lurking_around_our_beloved_trans

mgl_mouser's first words: "I know one could come up with binds for this, but..."

And I agree with him, even though it's not difficult as it is now, it would be easier if it were automatic.

Beolach, I did read what Mogul said and I've posted the bind a while ago in our guild forum. I posted it as well for other players, since the newest may ignore it.

Alternately, change the mission1 - mission7 keys to Weapon1, Weapon2, Missile1, Missile2, Missile3, Mine1 and Mine2.

^_^ I thought of it first!

i agree that there should be seperate hails for seperate characters. this gets my vote

/vote "individual character hails"

yah, I've on more then one occasion used the wrong hail and been mistaken for someone I'm not. Definitely need individual hails!! =)
