Firstly, awesome job on the mod. I love Melee a lot. But, would it be possible to put dismemberment (Ie: Severing of limbs other than the head) in? I feel it would be a neat little feature. Hardly neccesary, but cool nonetheless.

Thanks for the feedback..are we talking on a death blow where you want to see something flying off them?
We had some very early code that did just this, but it did not do it at death...but during the game. Its was kind of funny to see bots runing with one leg. Problem was is that to the bot, nothing wa slost as it played the same animations just with out a leg. Then if your sword arm got cut off the weapon got automagicaly attached to your sholder which as you can imigane was "weird" so for the time being we can yank it out.. But maybe we can add it back in at some time in special cases

Maybe you could release a "joke pack" addon for cut,with the silly bugs in mutators,like the headless crossbowman

Some suggestions for duel:
Make blood stains remain longer, currently they disappear almost instantly.
Allow weapons to get bloodied through repeated use.
Maybe have a screenshot mode that automatically takes a screen shot as you make the final kill to end the round.

make it so that for each consecutivelly won round the wep gets bloodier,the winner spawns with 20 more health and has another effect

New gametype: capture the vehicle.
Like bombing run maps, this map could be have symmetrical sides, and in the centre, a slow, powerful vehicle (maybe you could choose what vehicle before the game begins). The vehicle should be invulnerable... any damage should be transfered to the driver (not even the passengers). This vehicle can be captured by both teams. the aim is to move this vehicle back to your base. the maps should be huge, like onslaught maps. Maybe you could also have other, normal vehicles in the map. Maybe the vehicle in the centre can be vulnerable and resets its position back to the centre when destroyed (but then it should be quite weak, like the Ion tank).

Can you guys make the fire mines for the Claw2 actually start people on fire?

watched mission to mars today...got an idea...
what about a superweapon, which shoots something like a tornado.
normal fire: press and hold the mouse button to create a tornado horisontally from your weapon everyone who is enough time in it explodes into many parts
alt fire: same thing but it works like a normal tornado. It moves without you aiming, it can kill the user if he gets in it and its a vertical tornado.
no more ideas

Nah.
IMO the mushroom cloud thing is too easy and obvious. Like most jokes in movies and sitcoms today.
It's also only good in the larger, open maps...., but that could be dealt with I suppose in how it was implemented.
Anyway, it's already been done in '04 hasn't it?

maybe you could make a new version of the ONS target painter,make it drop vortexes which appear on impact

Seige2k3 was the 1st to implement the mushroom cloud with their "Nuke Mortar" as far as I know.
It used the ball launcher model and had to be "bought" / not available as a pickup"
The mushroom cloud in the photos was made by this:
It was originally intended to be a new custom model for the Strangelove but then I decided it may have other possibilities.

No - that would be AlphaOne
I was invited to join the project but I had other things I needed to do at the time.
Here's something I've been wanting to see
How about Custom species default weapons to replace the shield gun.
Shield gun could be left for one of the species though since I know Chaos doesn't tend to like removing original gameplay content.
