I would like the client version (and the option for server) to keep all the sounds and faces players load

only have the server update curent files, this will save upload of countless gigs per month

you can also allow the client to disallow sounds or to detete all files after closing OFP like it does now in case they would like to save file space

for some of us its nice to see all the faces and sounds so we can steal them lol, and the squad logos are handy for squad web site news in league matches ect

and please make sure that when some one deletes the face of a player on thier own machine that it is not WHITE Face in game, that it reverts to a reg face

this has been used in cheats in some matches

Yea that custom face issue could really be a huge help.

There are so many I want to use, but then I don't want to because of the folks who delete the custom face from their machine to have an advantage...

I hope that get's fixed somehow

Maybe the easiest way is to replace the WHITE face through a default face, maybe the black people with sunglases. So, if anyone try to "cheat" and delete my face on his mashine, he will see only the default face, not the WHITE one :-)

Hmm, not good enough, because some default faces are very pale and easy to spot, be sure to replace it with a dark one http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif . I think it would be better if the game came with some default camoed faces, for the players who wish to increase their stealth instead of just looking original...

Have to agree with you there. Those pale faces could really stick out like a sore thumb in forested areas. Though it's not too difficult to create your own faces as in current OFP, default camo faces would be really appreciated as a quick fix for brand new players before they figure out how to customize their head.

At the original post, yeah it would be really nice to be able to get a cache folder for all the custom things people bring with them to an MP game.

It just would be nice if there was an option to either browse the folder from AA to delete or tidy up the folder from time to time.
I guess players like me who play OFP online for more than 5? years would have a really big folder of faces and sounds as the average filesize of 1 coop night is around 2 MB.
So yes, an option to save such files would be nice but also give us a way to easily sort and control that folder in order to keep it tidy.
Maybe there could be a subfolder created for each player, using his playername. That would make it very easy to sort those out who are not longer actively playing online.
A filecheck is required though as the faces and sounds do change from time to time.

Moving to OFP2 Suggestions, as Suma said here (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=64;t=46442;st=150), most of the suggestions that will be popping up for ArAs either will or have come up for OFP2 suggestions. So to reduce duplication and confusion, please post your ideas (preferably after searching to see if they've already been suggested) in the OFP2 Suggestions Forum. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
