Feature: Dead Man Practice Mode

[jitspoe]

Basically, when you're eliminated and running around as a "ghost", you can fire phantom paintballs and get feedback when you hit players.  This won't impact the game at all, but it will allow you to practice shooting at moving targets while you're eliminated.

Very nice idea.. +1

[Dirty_Taco]

Cool idea; I hope it will bring back the 60 second respawn and kill instant spawn servers

[abnormal]

Great idea

+1. But you better be sure on that one... Also I agree with DT

I don't understand, what you mean with it.

Maybe a warmup mode for death players?

[JUICEY]

i think this is cool, and you can actually click the mouse and not get sent back to the spawn but be able to shoot so.. +1

Just please don't change dead man noclip.

[P!nk]

Knew this sounded familiar..

[jitspoe]

Just please don't change dead man noclip.

It would only be active when you're in the "walking" camera mode.  You could still switch to noclip or chase cameras.

what kind of gun would be used? -.-

[bjorn]

rocket launcher would be cool

In the ideal world, there would be a way to configure that, but due to limited time, it would probably just be something that behaved like the PGP.

How would it work with jails? Especially on maps like chamber or dodgeball pr bombsaway where eliminated players can still eliminate others?

Jailmode can be toggled off. depending on the player wishes.

[Chef-Killer]

MOPO, can you really toggle off the jail on our speed server (nhb, hca_fort or sphouse) without joining obs? I guess it's not always possible, if there're specific map settings like "forcejail" "1".

[rafalluz]

So I'm guessing there are two options: either jails will be removed or they take priority over ghost mode.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm for it. I hate pubs with 30s and longer elim time.

Ugh, if the gun for this dead man mode is the PGP then don't bother. Make it interesting rather than having the worst gun in the game to pass 30 seconds with. How about the Automag or the Spyder SE, I just think it'll be pointless having the PGP rather than a better gun.

I believe the idea of this feature was to improve aim, not to try your luck while spraying an entire hopper on someone

[Chalk]

this would actually be awesome. you can still warmup and practice, so the long respawn times won't seem so dreadful to newbies lol


not only pgp though please
