Official Feature Vote of 2007

[Krizdo4]

I also like "Melee attack (barrel tag? paintbrush?)"

eh... try 50.

for(int i = 0; i<50; i++)

He's saying inside the loop he's voting for it and I'm incrementing that so the vote is increasing by 2 each time the loop loops.

[y00tz]

eh... try 50.

for(int i = 0; i<50; i++)

eh...

for(int i = 0; i<50; i++)
{

<vote>When a player switches their name in game, maybe the server could print  "NAME1 changed their named to NAME2" so that people know?  Not a biggy but I'd like it.</vote>

thisIdea.vote++;

}

I think I just voted for this 100 times...

Looks to me like the loop went 50 times, incrementing twice each time.

I'll forgive you though, you taught me how to compile PB


Edit: Didn't want to post again..  Nice one (below)

y00tz: I could have sworn there was a server side option to do that, but looking at the code again, it only enables it for printing at the server console.  I think I took it out because I wanted to make a client-side option for it, since it can get spammy, but never got around to implementing that.

SkateR: I'm going to put you down for the vote kick and server-configurable voting system, since they're pretty much the same thing.

[ViciouZ]

Allow the sky to be rotated at a certain angle. (without it rotating continuosly)

[MaDMaN]

Make a program that allows you to take a ss of the other persons screen at any point in the game.

[Eiii]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaandwidth hog. Also, if the client is modded without detection somehow, then it's pretty easy to fake that.

[TargY]

I vote for MVD - Multi View Demos used in Q2Pro - http://q2pro.sf.net
Its some sort of serverside demo. While watching yo ucan switch to anyones player POV. Later maybe DP2TV   

[magalhaes]

Nice i vote for that.

[Apocalypse]

Put me in their to Jits.

[Eiii]

Also vote for. There's server-side demo recording build into quake2, isn't there? But the .dm2 files it produces are unreadable or something, which makes it SUPER useful.

[y00tz]

As I map more and more, I'm for a map format supporting models (w/ collision detection), and I would like to be added the vote for it.  I realize this means giving up BSP and classic maps...

-y00tz

[Zorchenhimer]

I vote for MVD - Multi View Demos

Me too.

[Zorchenhimer]

First, sorry for the double post.

Second, I vote for what Jits is talking about here:

Some day in the distant future, I'd like to make the engine foliage friendly.  By this I mean have different levels of details for trees, bushes, and the like, and turn them into billboards at a distance to conserve polygons, allowing for things like woodsball fields with lots of trees.  I believe Far Cry uses this method.

I could be wrong, but I don't think "new map format" covers that. If so, oops.

IN GAME MIC!

[Eiii]

ANTI-VOTE TO IN GAME MIC!

[y00tz]

Since the game has global login profiles, why don't you add a few extra fields to the database so that people can add relevant information to their profile, such as maybe a field for their Xfire name.  And for clans you could add a field for their VoIP servers (TS etc.) and maybe their DP Server, of course, it's all only relevant if applicable to them.

This way, searching Player X on the GLS would bring up their Xfire name, and searching Clan Y on the clan list would turn up their TS server, if they wanted it public.

[Zorchenhimer]

I'm with y00ts. Add me to that one too.

[y00tz]

Also Jitspoe, if you get an hour or so, could you sit down, go through the list, and give us a no bs assessment of what's feasible, and what goes along with the games current direction?
