i know that the pause option (P key) has been removed from lan game due to abuse. now thanks to nemo i already know how to enable it for our local lan parties, but the problem with that is that:
- you need to rebuild hw for all platforms (in mixed environment)
- win32 compilation sucks (big time)
therefore i'd like to suggest that the pause possibility is a setting of the room and/or the server. the server config would contain something like
pause=[ yes | no | room_decides ]
of course hw official server would contain pause=no, changing nothing for the users playing matches. if pause=room_decides then the decision would be made by the room creator.
