Chaotic Dreams

yo all,

not sure to post this here or in beta section, the're just some random suggestions to make the game more player friendly and give some added coolness.Here goes anyway:

1) maybe we could add an infinate ammo option to chaosweaponarena mutator? playing with an erdw is just annoying (yay only 6 ammo....)
maybe add an option for starting shield?

2)any chance we could have a "medievil mut" to allow the use of melee weapons and the crossbow?

3)any chance or resurrecting the UTthighpads? it'd be sound to add to the medievil feel of duel or koth. (are they in chaos> i havent seen them anyway)

4)Upping the max player limit (its 8 atm i think) in duel would be cool. >16 player duel sounds mad, but i reckon it'd be cool (easier to set up than lms + u could play on duel maps which are cool).

5)maybe adding a max lives option to all gametypes, like in the old ut2003? LMS HH/AS/CDM would be cool.

6)All of the above.

7)none of the above

8)ill add some more when i remember them.

1 sounds nice
2 wouldn't work. Why would anyone use melee weapons when you have crossbows? The only thing I can think of is to make the crossbows really rare (superweapons?) and ammo tiny and hard to find.
3 cool
cool
cool
cool
cool

4) --> There is already a setting for using Melee in ChaosDM and such gametypes.

7) for all except 1)


IMO the thigh pads could replace the current 50 armor,becouse seeing Malcolm pick the current one up gives a reaaaal bad mental image

Erm... Why?

i meant so u could play duel as if it were LMS on duel maps. Not just to add rakes of players for a DM melee, But simply to have the round system with more players.

why? i can see how 3) might be a bit of an aquired taste in playing, but simply adding a max lives option would be no hassle and would lead to an extra bit of variation.

im not sure about this. im going to test it out anyway soon, as my map CTF-Kirkjuvagr is only going to feature xbows and melee weaponry....i wanted to make a themed map. i aint too worried about the whole flag runner syndrome either. there are ways around it. i just like the idea of having flaming arrrows shooting into the wooden defenses, before an mass rush of melee attacks occurs. it probably wont play out like that, but ill find out soon enough.

the 50 armor is a female one...

You can already set max lives in the game settings option on ALL gametypes.

In the duel gametype, u can set the mode to 1-1, 1-1 2/3, 4 at a time or FFA. Check it out. set the number of players to 9 and play melee FFA

WHA...??? I havent seen any 50 armour thingy. the 50 armour looks like the default yellow shield. Only the 100 armour looks like the breastplate(male).

i cant do that in my gametypes....what version are u guys running?


FFA? i dont have that option either in duel, all i have is lms mode, with max players setting of 8.

Sorry got to this late... Some of the Qs have been discussed...

I was just working on this and if the team wants to its an easy change.

2)any chance we could have a "medievil mut" to allow the use of melee weapons and the crossbow?

Probably not yet. However the idea has been talked about many times before. All of the chaos game types have a melee mod option. So not sure what to make this different. The inclusion of the xbow as the super weapons is not bad. But not all maps have supper weapons. So would those be xbow-less?

4)Upping the max player limit (its 8 atm i think) in duel would be cool. >16 player duel sounds mad, but i reckon it'd be cool (easier to set up than lms + u could play on duel maps which are cool).

We keep duel at 8 players because before there were the other options people had to wait in line. Waiting for 6 players is a drag. If we upped it to 16, then for those that still play one-one mode it could become a really really long wait.


Again great ideas....and all ideas welcomed... Just keep in mind we can not act on every one..

My bad, wrong here.

WHA...??? I can play LMS (sorry venalanatomica, its not FFA, is LMS) in duel with 19 bots like I always do. But Ive never played with more than 2 real players, so maybe its a real player thingy?

nah, if i play with more than 7 players, the opther players just get spawned in rotation. i cant have like 32 players all at once.

i doubt the map would have so many spawnpoints
