This request may be considered a duplicate of this one: p/1691190 but what I'll ask applies especifically to multiplayer games. Let me explain:
I'm not asking for a permatoggle (even though it would be nice) or anything like that and I don't really care about having to restart the map in solo mode for funspoiler settings to take effect, that's not a big problem. But, in multiplayer mode things are different. First of all, you can't just restart a multiplayer game, what automatically makes the storyboard/skin/hitsounds toggles completely useless (and we all know that even good mappers sometimes use terrible skins in their maps).
The second - and more serious - problem is the amount of time that the funspoiler menu is avaliable when the map starts. Usually, if you're fast enough, you can dim the background, hit <Tab> to hide the scoreboard and play without trouble. But this gets very problematic when DT is on, specially on maps that start right away. Players have to go through the frustration of a) failing because the map started while you was trying to hit the small and thin dim slider button; or b) playing without seeing sh*t because it's too colorful (let alone the bad skins). As a self-proclaimed DT-lover who plays actively in multiplayer, this has been bothering me for some time.
So, in summary, I'm asking for the hability to set the funspoiler options while in the multiplayer room, before the map starts. Not permanently, but for each map.
I hope I have been clear enough.
Thanks for you attention.
