Ideas

1 - IP info and teamtalk embedded in demos
This will make it easier to collect information for blacklisting, as well as verification of official clan matches.

2 - Command which allows access to a specific line of console output
alias "what_i_last_did" (conline "you")
2.5 - Other commands associated with "conline"
whois (cn (at (conline "im hacking") 0)); alias "captured_IP" (at (skipconline "WHOIS" 2) 1)
Thousands of scripts are waiting to be made once access to console output is enabled. Scripts could be activated the moment a specific phrase comes onto the console (saving time and keybinds). Warnings could be automatically issued for racism or vulgarity, friends can be greeted without interrupting gameplay, one-line scripts can be shared more easily, cheat advertisers can be auto-banned... the list goes on.

3 - Command to write or add to config files in-game
/makecfg "test.cfg" [alias starttime (millis); sleep ($test) [echo "test complete!"; echo (- (millis) $starttime)]]
/addcfg "test.cfg" [echo "version 0.1"]
Meta-scripting will be much easier with this; for example, a personal preferences cfg file crafted using a menu; or even a cfg file containing notes made during the session.
/addcfg "gamenotes.cfg" [clan match with TyD tomorrow at high noon]

4 - Command to "undefine" aliases
(not just give them empty definitions) this would enable a script to clean up saved.cfg, for instance

5 - Command which allows access to contents of keybinds
/echo (keybind "J")
returns "zoom 1; echo zooming; onrelease [zoom 0; echo zoom out]" (if that's what "J" is bound to)

6 - Variable ident to describe whether server is in mastermode
/echo $privatemode
returns 0 if server is open.

7 - Variable ident to describe whether a given alias exists
/echo (checkalias "testalias")
returns 0 if alias does not exist.

Oh yes! And
8 - Variables that describe how many frags and deaths you currently have.

well i was just reading "Banned for speedhack" by adam. and i kinda thought about this anti-cheat system - hackshield

combat arms uses it and it works okay although there are still some gay cheaters but a lot less than AC
Thanks given by:
Is that site for real? It looks like a front.
Thanks given by:
i think so. well the name for the program is hackshield
Thanks given by:
lol hackshield, we so totally need punkbuster which kicks for no apparent reason and then you find out you havent updated it for 2 days so you have the old version but it still kicks you.
Thanks given by:
okay, this is the best idea so far, even if i do say so myself.

My idea is, that we scrap 1.1 and stay with 1.0.4 at least until the DEVS decide to spend enough time to fix the bugs that are obviously there, for all to see
Thanks given by:
Well, if these bugs didn't come up (as severe enough to be considered significant) during beta testing, I honestly don't think scrapping it now and going back is going to help at all. The more people we have playing it, the faster anything that needs attention is going to be brought up and -hopefully- the faster it will be fixed.
Thanks given by:
TBH I think that's a great idea JMM!

Possibly have a sound event when a player crouches over a dead body?

understand you my idea ?

we could easily make some floors.
Thanks given by:
your idea me no understand...?

Maybe if you write more of what you're thinking instead of putting a drawing made in 1 min in Paint we could maybe be able to understand your point?

That has been asked in the past, and Cube actually does not allow that, and I doubt it will someday.

@ Wolf: he means editable walls, like floor.
Thanks given by:
He wants to be able to manipulate cubes on walls, probably to build rooms over rooms.

Basically, Sauer.

Sauerbraten/Cube2.
AssaultCube would have to give up its status as a low-requirement game in order to adopt such a change.
Thanks given by:
I don't think so.
Now , 95 % of the computers can play assault cube without problems.
Thanks given by:
Yes, now they can. But old hardware still exists and is still in use.
Thanks given by:
yes but it is a minority.

AC engine is 10 years old!
Thanks given by:
On my old POS computer that ran .93 with a max of 30 fps and ~50 on 1.0.x, it could run Sauer fullscreen @ 20+ fps stable. Just saying.
Thanks given by:
my 11 year old computer can run it but it has a new hardrive in it and gaming card ;)
Thanks given by:
Yes , in your old computer.

I wanted just say an idea , whatever if it's not posible .

Preference thing:
For setnext, have the (for next game) caveat at the beginning instead of the end of the vote message, to avoid confusing people who glance at the vote message and may think it is a vote to immediately load that map/mode.
Thanks given by:
Now that all gibs are not worth two points in 1.1, I kind of feel like we need different terms for the ones that are still worth two points to differentiate.

Like maybe "Player X headshot Player Y," and "Player X knifed Player Y."
I can also see that making headshots and knife kills much more satisfying and desirable.
Thanks given by:
There should be a difference in words between getting gibbed by a sniper, nade, or knife (2 frags) and getting gibbed by a shotgun (1 frag).

I think it would be more appropriate for the sniper, nade, and knife to stay as x player gibbed y player but for the shotgun it should be something else.

EDIT: The post above me could also be nice. Also differentiate getting gibbed by sniper, nade, or knife.

x player got headshotted (sniper) / gibbed (nade) / knifed (knife) by y player.

agreed :)

another idea: force the game to shut down if any "bad" programs are detected

What "bad" programs, and why?
Thanks given by:
An example pwned? Can't quite understand what you mean by bad programs. You mean like a program in the background that has a virus then the game shuts down? How would that help you?
