What about when you want to send a message to players with numbers in their names? EG. Say a clan uses 11 as their tag, your solution would send a message to the player in slot 11 and not that clan...

IMO /m should be a name match and /priv should be a slot match...
I don't care, if there was a nother command for that. This was only a fast shot from me. But a PRIVATE message, which should be private to one player, should be possible somehow.

I like that idea.Often times /m gets you a slew of clan members,not a bad thing,but you do have to be careful if your a gossip spreader.

why do you need to punish people for going prone in a fire fight? what is wrong with it? if you cant deal with a guy going prone then thats your problem.


i dont get why everyone says its lame?


its just another tactic. if you dont like it then dont use it. some people like to use it. big deal.

its not the prone itself
it is more the:
prone/up/prone/up/prone/up where it is even harder to get hit.

and when someone goes prone in RealLife™ he wont fall himself to the ground cause it hurts bad, he goes down slow, and it takes some time to go prone, same for getting up.
Getting up from prone tales some time, therefor the delay and i like it!

it would be better to have the animation throttled (including the inability to perform some shooting action) instead of being unable to move at all.

The benefit of misplaced hitboxes was more like the reason to lag proning.
Realism isn't valid point here at all. Or it can't be since most of the features
in game aren't realistic (reviving, jumping, messages etc...). How about
considering this again with b_realhead. 8)

the hatred of prone has NOTHING to do with whether it's realistic or not. the entire wolfenstein franchise is a fucking cartoon. nobody wants it to be realistic (nobody with brains anyway).

the problem is due to FLAWS in prone which cause shots which would have otherwise registered, to NOT register. THAT is the crux of the issue. i don't care if you twirl around like a ballerina during a duel, just as long as my shots register properly.

not sure if the issue has been fixed, but until it has been, proning in a duel should be viewed for precisely what it is: an exploit.

90% of people who prone when in a firefight with myself, or the people I know, end up dead anyway, so I can't see it as an "exploit". Make's life easier.

Keep proning is what i say. 8)

I think its time you build a bridge and get over it.. part of the game, there is no hatred for it, IF your good enough, you will kill the proner anyway.

Are you using it on a 3.1.15 server ? If you connect to an old server, you will not be able to use it.

If you are trying to use it in a local game, you most likely have loaded the wrong etpro version.

Also, if it is in a config, you have to use set, since it is a cvar, not a command.

Iget the same thing with b_fireteamLatchedClass, unkown cmd in line.
Before you ask,it is the latest etpro,and it isnt a local game.
No mention at all of it in the cvarlist b_* either.
