Hm, after SEVERAL crouches....

Electric Fences... Added to Toca's razorwire mapmodel if you touch it you get like 50 unit taken of your health (or whatever sum).

Something like a 'Damage entity', this could probably be implemented on other hazardous environments or items like the radioactive barrels for example.

My only fear is that it could be abused of in some nonsense maps.

[Bukz]

Could and would. But I've always liked the idea, maybe the pros outweigh the cons? Poll? :P

[Sonic]

pros outweigh cons. There are already horribly abusive maps. No matter what you don't allow, they'll find a way to make troll maps.

[Lantry]

How about something with less cons first: textured clips!

Can you please elaborate about their function.

I'm up for a poll about the electric fence/damage entity although I thing it should be linked to a warning device such as a specific sound or light.

[Orynge]

Mael suggested that previously as a replacement for platform mapmodels.

[Frogulis]

LARGE F1 to textured clips.
Cleaner: they are clips that have textures on them, allowing a mapper to create the equivalent of a platform mapmodel in whatever size they want, instead of trying to work with the default 8x8.

[Lantry]

Mael suggested that previously as a replacement for platform mapmodels.

But the great thing about them is that they could also be used for so much more.

Basically, it would be a clip just like a normal clip (prevents movement, grenades, etc) but it would also have a texture applied to it instead of being transparent, and would ofc block bullets too. the command would probably be the same as clip, but with a new argument, i.e.:
/newent tclip [elevation] [x radius] [y radius] [height] [texture id]

these would actually improve the game, as instead of tiling the platform mapmodel to create a 16x16 platform (or wherever a platform larger than 8x8 is needed) you could use a tclip instead, which (if I understand how it works correctly) would be easier on the computer, as less faces would need to be rendered.
Ofc, this is not to mention all the other ways this could be creatively used, as it creates an easy way to build (very) simple models right in the engine.

[V-Man]

That would definitely be useful!
Several cautions should be listed to encourage mappers to avoid overuse of them, though.

[Mael]

The problems, as I understand them, with textured clips is, 1) They do not occlude, 2) The most sensible implementation requires 5 parameters, X, Y, Z, H, T.

The last time I mentioned this I did mention folding the Z parameter into the X and/or Y parameters, the drawbacks being it is not immediately apparent what the shape of a clip is just by looking at the parameters and the clip would have maximum dimensions of perhaps 16 cubes(Not necessarily a terrible thing).

[wolfbr]

zombie mod or invasion mode like doomskulltag : )

[Orynge]

Bot Survival is already in the next version.

Speaking of which, is there a way to show the zone you're allowed in, in BSURV?

[Bukz]

That was always something I wanted to add, like maybe little "zone" markers for the mini-map/radar. Unfortunately I know almost nothing about openGL so it won't be happening because I did it. xD

If this were to be added it could open up the possibility of having randomized zones for each map. Right now there is only 1 zone for each map, and they never change, to avoid confusion.

Maybe tempest/GeneralDisarray or someone can look into creating something for this. :)

[V-Man]

Or perhaps Luc@s, as he already did something nearly identical?

[MykeGregory]

i have an idea that could change AC a little bit.

Now currently when you look at a teamamte you will see his/her nick in the bottom left corner of your screen.
Who thinks it would be cool to have the nick, health and armor status on screen aswell.

This would be good as it will let you know straight away what your teamates need and could be used to prioritise certain tactics in CM's

The downsides? the amount of space onscreen would become limited so it would have to be shorted to their nick, an armor symbol and health symbol with corrsponding numbers.
an option to turn these stats on and off would be needed too.

good idea?
I made a thread about this ages ago but it got closed.

how about having the names appear in small text below the crosshair? It is annoying to have to point the cursor at someone and then look down in the corner, especially if they are moving.

[Thorite]

I'd like to see automatic display of the your hit miss % when the round is over, or maybe keep it on the scoreboard so you can try to improve every round.

Even better! you would need the obligatory on off toggle option though.

[wolfbr]

or, aim in the frend and see your status, much bettler for me, i have visual pollution XD

about bot survival, cool, I did not know that.
i talk about a survival with cube1 monsters(some monsters drop itens, like ammo box, heath pack, grenade or armor).

I think the problem is that the monsters of the game means stupid, they just attack you some times, easy to kill, i want something more hard(monsters attack a lot, high hp, others are partially invisible, or they can dodge the shots, equiped with great weapons like rocketlauncher..).

in doom skull tag, some mosnters still dumb, but, they attack in absurd amounts, making the game difficult, in AC, the monsters would be strong, would not have to come in very big hordes.

: )

I stopped reading here. Can't you understand rocket launchers will never be incorporated into the game?

[V-Man]

Some people have good ideas for their favorite game.
Some people want to change it into their favorite game.

[wolfbr]

i talk about mosnters, one monster(exemple: a robot) use rocket launcher : D
i dont want to change ac in doom skull tag, only use a good idea for a cooperative mode, like zombie mod for many games, would be adapted to the AC, as well as in other games.

exemple: few enemies(but, strong), because ac maps are small, and we dont need lag ; D.

about new weapon, only enemies use it(rocket launcher, plasma gun, bite.. bla bla bla), the enemies drop ammo, not the weapon : )

[Orynge]

A lot of the ideas on this page have already been suggested iirc.

wolfbr: Won't happen. This is AssaultCube, not Quake.

[JamJamTheCalcMan]

wolfbr: you can find a grenade launcher mod on akimbo.in

[Cleaner]

Indeed, look >>> Grenade Launcher <<<

[Dementium4ever]

Funny, that people still remember on my mod :D

[Cleaner]

Could a mdlshadowdir be anyhow implemented? it is pretty much annoying when shadow direction is in contradiction with skymap or goes into walls instead.

[FleshyPod]

What about a small arrow on radar that indicates where to go to own base in ctf?

[VenteX]

how about having the names appear in small text below the crosshair? It is annoying to have to point the cursor at someone and then look down in the corner, especially if they are moving.

Maybe even make the text keep showing for a couple seconds AFTER you point at someone. It's hard to read it when the person you're trying to look at keeps moving
