Is it possible with a client side mod to allow players to play tetris or other small game while loading...this is only one of many crazy ideas I have...So, is it possible?
Err.. you could probably just keep a gameboy or something next to your computer. That'd probably be a bit easier to do for everyone. Unless you don't have a system with Tetris on it. Doh.
A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. If we don't get no tolls then we don't eat no rolls.. I made that up.

I don't have a gameboy...I spend all my money on my comp.
don't konw how you run wolf... but if you run it smaller than your window size try running it in a window... ok never mind bad idea... i just found your stash
gotenks, if he was really smoking weed, he'd probably rather have a Pink Floyd laser show playing while the game loaded. hell, if he were smoking weed, he'd probably want to watch the laser show instead of playing the game. ["Hey is there any way we can totally replace the entire game interface with a Pink Floyd laser show? maybe something set to "Money" or "The Wall Part 2??" "]
Not to say I'm making fun of potheads. Just look at my user name

What I have always wanted was this (for people with slow CPUs):
Before a map loads, it loads a very tiny tiny single room map with not many textures, this 1-room map would be a waiting room. While your in the waiting room the main map loads, you and any other players that join stay in the waiting room and get to screw around until the next round of the game starts. Maybe spectators have the option to join the waiting room too.
in no way would this be possible in a server side mod.
are you planning on making a ph0g-mod?

i'd only want a waiting room if there was nice furniture and some free snacks, like a box of dunkin donuts munchkins. they would so quickly take away that silly waiting period of less than 30 seconds.
can there be a bute hostess that serves you drinks too?

it takes pretty much the same time to load a small map as it does a huge one.
