A thread for requesting new features (Page 1 of 2)

Wise thread. While generally we avoid adding new stuff in until we finish ones that are already in process or were planned earlier, but it's always nice to have a request list on a side for later on.

I agree that shove is kinda essential so I went along with it and added in. It should be available in next release, or if you are inpatient grab it from the source -> In that case, set server as unpure so other clients using official release can still connect and play.

FYI, I've hook it under "activate" button. Meaning, you use same key for pushing players away as you use for opening the doors as there's no point making a whole new key for it and forcing users to bind a new key for something like that...

As for more ammo. Fretn is currently working on a "buy" feature. Where players can buy more ammo, weapons..using points they've earned along the game. At the moment I'm not sure if this is whole new game type or will be available in all game types, but he can say more about it.

Fixing crashes and getting rid of bugs is exactly what we're doing, but it's sadly a delicate process that takes time.

XP alike system was already mention it in some other thread, so to avoid double posting, I suggest you read it there:

Cvar for "buy" feature/gametype, will naturally be present. As anything outside of default game style should have ability to be disabled, besides features that don't affect game - like blood hit, solid crosshairs but those are client depended anyway.

about the buy feature, its already in, its activated for the battle gametype only

everything you pickup gives you points, your damage that you do also scores you points. Buying ammo, weapons or health costs points.

The scoring system also works different in battle (compared to beta releases), there are three criteria: dmg given/done ratio, number of deaths and score. The player who scores highest in at least two of these wins the battle (round).
There are two ways to buy things, use the buy command: type /buy to see all the options, prices of guns and ammo or use the /quickbuy menu (ala voicechat) to buy things
The prices of everything need to be balanced, but this is only possible after some games, all this was coded in 2 evenings without a lot of testing, shame on me, but I didnt like the previous battle scoring system enough to have it in the public release

shove: I planned to add this a long time ago, but I never came around, I'm glad nate did it already !

about the next release, I think to release shortly a 0.9.1 version, with some small bugfixes and small new features, to keep the flow of the game going, so people have new stuff to play with and dont get bored with the bugs. One of the things I'm currently working on are some fun statistics (ending scoreboard awards) for the coop gametype.

Well it doesn't have to have an explicit cvar, can even be controlled by gametype..as it's natural that some features will have to be different for specific gametype otherwise one is just loading bunch of prints and a default game..but since owners can simply switch to normal gametype like coop and run default, it means there's always an option and falls downs to owners as of how to set a server, which was what I was trying to say.

It has nothing to do with installer or how game is distributed. It's a feature probably fretn mainly ported from I think ioquake. General idea of this specific approach is, so more users can play from same computer and they each have their own config which doesn't collides with another player's config - since it's safe to assume more users behind same computer uses different user accounts.

In theory this approach is quite valid, but in reality I do agree it can be and mostly is, too confusing for most of people. Personally I'm not fond of this approach either. I think it would make much more sense that this approach gets moved back in game folder and then there separates config per user basis. As in this case scenario, one that's familiar with Q3 engine games, can easily with some common sense figure out where stuff is, without going on a "search" crusade that is.

In any case, this is not on the priority list but it is subjected to change eventually.

yes its a change I wanted to revert very shortly before first release, but I was afraid of breaking things, so I didnt do it.

I'll try to fix this for next release, at least for windows and osx, on linux this was alway like this

no

How about new maps ?? if its possible.

Time Gate would be my choice too. It is a really nice and complete mapset.

Default is always only an entry point, everything else then evolves depending of community.

To set the stage for new stuff we need to asap fix downloads and write a tutorial for how to convert existing SP map into COOP or alternatively, what needs to be done along at default SP map creation process to make it work with coop.

Once downloads are added and a demo map is set I'll write a tutorial about how to configure a server to run in particular configuration so it's easier for newcomers or ones that aren't in hosting or never where.

Time Gate will be awesome since i tried it today and looks good.
