Title: Several Suggestions
Post by: Wolf Man on September 03, 2007, 08:19:15 PM
-There should be realistic explosions, not that crappy burst thing

-There should be a selection of different character looks, just to be a neat little feature

-There should be a way to put a logo on your character with a way for others to see it

-There should be a way to make a glowing ambiant light effect, like with beams or a magic sorta aura look

-there should be weather effects EX=Rain, snow, lightning,wind, falling leaves ect.

-There should be a dust effect for dirt textures, like small clouds of dust from your feet when you walk

-There should be support for GIF textures so you can add TV effects or moving screen animations

-Where do you see explosions in pantball?
-That's been proposed, but it'd take some time (mostly getting the new characters modeled), and there are more pressing matters at hand.
-Same as above.
-...Why? You can add light entities in maps if you want sourceless point lights.
-Same as two-above.
-Cool idea. Go to the feature vote thread.
-rscripts can do the same thing. Better to use those than to go through the trouble of adding GIF support.

He's talking about when paint grenades explode. Personally I think they are fine the way they are, it's not like they are real grenades.

First, for the light suggestoin, i knew about that, i meant a glowing effect that you can add to the ligh source to make it look like its an energy beam or something, second, i didnt mean explosions for grenades, i just meant a realistic animated explosion you can add, for effect, like the fire you can add

There is, but it just emits a pattern of spark things, and it looks crappy

You want explosions in the game. Find/make a good GPL'd explosion model, and we'll talk.

Wasn't the original removed because it had copyright issues, and it looked crappy?

Yep. If we had a better one with no copyright issues, we could use it! :D

Theres no way to use emitter or particle effects, is there?
Or someone could make a 2-D explosion the same way the fire was made.
