Important, non-shader related, V21 complaints.

I love the idea of gamemodes, but I wish there was just a button in the admin menu that said "Export To Gamemode" and it would export all of the current server settings, build, colorset, minigame settings, and add-on list to a gamemode.

Not trying to pick on anyone, but some of the custom gamemodes. Some of them can be easily created with a basic minigame in a custom server, it doesn't need it's own gamemode. I can see more of these custom gamemodes being released in the future.

I see the gamemodes as a unique forced minigame that allows us to do something we usually couldn't. For instance Rampage mode, or Cog's Escape (non-default). These are unique and allow people to accomplish things easier and prevent certain things and experience your build or gamemode in the way it's supposed to be.

You're not getting it.

Gamemodes don't have to be complex scripted things, they exist to make things easier.

What I look down upon is the people that have, and the people that will - make gamemodes out of something that could easily be done with a basic minigame and doesn't deserve it's own gamemode.

I have a solution for you, don't download it. If you want to do things the old way you are still free to.

Oh my yes.

I don't understand how "freebuild" is useless.  It's for enjoying the raw game as it was made.  It's not useless at all.

Just look at this. Before everyone raged: "OMG I WUNT v21 NAO!!11" and now they're complaining how bad the gamemodes are. If you don't like them, don't use them. The end.

This.

You guys are such loving babies.
"waah I want v21"
then when it comes
"waah some gamemodes sux :("

If you don't want to use it, don't use it! What are you complaining about? Shut the forget up and enjoy the game.

[Swat 3]

Is it me or I just noticed something.

You can now enable and disable addons ingame.....

I love you Rotondo.  

Edit:

Dang. Nope.avi, it makes you restart the server. But eh, its easier....

[Aide33]

Am I the only one that has no problems with the update other than the piano sounds?

[Mold]

making more user friendly UI's: now considered tacky

The old start game GUI was WAY MORE user friendly.

[Darkmaster20]

Has anyone else noticed you can hear the sound of building on the main menu?

In the Environmental Controls Video it also showed it suppost to be having those sounds when clicking other things.

I myself love the gamemode idea

Alright, I get it now.

That's exactly what I'm doing, but I'm not suggesting anything else otherwise. All I was saying is that I expected more people to make unique gamemodes. But like you corrected me, they make things easier - which is alright.

Jesus H Christ. I never said gamemodes were bad and stuffty. I just expected more unique ones like the default ones. But like Rotondo said they make things easier. Damn.

The reason why he added these things was for the Demo, Badspot recently changed how the demo works, you can load all of these gamemodes/maps except for custom, instead of just giving the demo user an empty plate to build, badspot put in some cool builds so the demo users can mess around with.
