Um just include the updated ui files with 4.2. You guys decided to go this whole new download route with 4.x, so people have to download a 700mb+ file anyway, might as well put some cosmetic improvements in.
If someone is a European or just plain non-North American, and they say football, everyone knows they're referring to soccer/football. If an American or Canadian says football, they're referring to American Football. I believe soccer is actually called association football, so if you want to avoid confusion, call it that. Not confusing at all imo.
Well ya sure your right and it would be nice to have a language pack for all parts of the world and we are not so draconian to make a simple change just to keep people happy.
But trust me it really is not all that simple just based on a practical assumption.
I bring the idea of changing the name of the silencer to a suppressor to the table for a vote the first question I’ll be asked is “Is it broken?”. If it is not then the response will 10 times out of ten be “then leave it alone”
But here is the real answer to it all.
In my short time with the team the one thing that is perfectly clear is that the need to protect the past works of others who have contribute to the game is almost a religion. We do not take something out of the game that is already there with out a logical reason as someone has gone through the time and effort in the past to build something of value with the only reward of having their efforts included in the game.
Someone has taken the time to mark up the “silencer” in the menu that could represent a great deal of time on their part and we really don’t have the right to just go George Lucas on it because someone thinks that doing it different means that it’s better.
Even the new stuff I’m doing to the animation is built on the original work of Crazy Butcher and although I’ll be changing a lot of key frames his work is still there and always will be and his credit in the control files will always remain as long as there is a Urban Terror.
