Chaotic Dreams

sorry but the mod needs an update!! the chaos bike needs to have a DRIVER!! The chaos rocket launcher needs cluster bombs, poison rockets, and homing rockets, a new model, and a laser dot scope!! the cutter needs an updated model. the grappling hook needs better player clipping... also the vehicle ctf needs to enable the vehicles to pickup the flag!! the chaos team needs to make new vehicles besides the bike!! also you need to make sure that the EXE LAUNCHES!! I have to run all of the maps and weapons through UT2004 and mutators!! you also must ditch the relics spread throughout the level, create more powerful relics, and make sure you start with them... also create a derelic that reverses the effects of the relic you next pickup, but only after you die!! when you die, you had bvefore a normal relic, but if you picked up a derelic before that, when you die you will drop the derelic, but it looks like a normal relic!! so when they pick it up, they get the effects of that relic, but after 2 minutes the relic wears off and they drop it and can't pick it up, so when they pick up another relic, it has the opposite powers of normal, so if vampire for example you will lose health when you shoot people, and if it is regeneration you will slowly lose health, then when you die you will drop a derelic and only one derelic can exist in a map, so it must be very well hidden such as at a redeemer spot... also you need to ditch the normal weapons, and normal vehicles... also you need to include a spray select screen, also for dark maps you should include a flashlight, and/or nightvision or infrared!! you should also make an automatic updater, and an in game camera, you should also add advanced weapon modes to the chaos grenade launcher, like you could include a rpg attachment but would only last for like one minute, also automatically enable the gravity belt, and make it so you can float around and sort of fly in corkscrews and barrel rolls... also the crossbow needs to have a larger damage radius and a much more high tech model, the edrw needs a scope, and the classic dm levels need to be upgraded with new visuals, also in your next release include more official maps, and include a special editor for your game, as well as more mutators to modify the gameplay, you should also consider putting this game on cds and charging 5 dollars for special updates, so you could further develop your mod, as well as allow free open betas ......

Bike driver:yeaaaaah...riiiiight...not sure why tho
CRL:iirc i heard a model was being made,new rocket types have been suggested alot of times(poison arrows,poison grenades...aint that enuff poison?),Scope for a RL?
Grapple:Whadja mean
Vehicles picking up flag:Wow,peeps are so lazy they cant even hop out to pick up the flag
More vehicles:Have you ever heard about a hoverboard?
Exe:cant read the readme and just add -mod ChaosUT2(iirc) to the shortcut?
No relic spawning and uber relics:Sounds like a good idea...for chaos excessive -_-
Reverse relic:Sounds kinda useless,a relic whichs main use is to annoy a person upon death,vengance seems like that but only does direct damage
Hidden relics:creating new spawn points for every stock and costum map without overwriting them seems very possible,good idea
Ditching normal weps:Normal weps ARE ditched(unless you set it to cycle),normal vehicles are being replaced(cycled),soo its quite good already
Spray selection:you can do that already,in CUT settings
Flashlight:UT has soo many dark maps,stock 0,good costum somewhere about 2,crappy costum 245
Automatic updater:wont even try to comment
Ingame camera:dare i say...WTF?
CGL AWO:AWO detonates all current grenades if i am not mistaken..
Autoenable gravbelt:this should go into the hall of fame(for showing how lazy peeps are nowadays)
Crossbow:More hightech model maybe,larger damage radius...its a friggin Xbow!
ERDW scope:the reason there is no scope is to keep balance,if there was a scope there would be no reason to use the chaos sniper)
Special editor:naah(Try booting up unrealed once in awhile...)
More muts:blsdgrs
Pay for mod:aww...gaah...not to mention its illegal

it is relic not derelic

The Troll is strong with this one, yes?
Point the first: the poll has nothing to do with the content of the post;
Point the second: red text is deliberately annoying, especially to those of us who are colourblind;
Pint the third: paragraphs are your friends - remember your carriage return key people!;
Pope Gregory the fourth: ditto spelling, gramar, punctuation and the other 129,000 words in the English language;
Point the way: Many of the ideas presented are either nonsensical, retarded, impossible, already covered, or all four.

So, yeah, congratulations, we have a Troll. In some circles this might be seen as a sign of increasing fame and good fortune. In others it simply means Will&Grace is on. But which is it here? I leave you to decide...

WOW, You dont think you guys are a bit harsh on the guy?

Remind me not to post any ideas here, as i really dont want to get flammed too.

Jeez, so much for being nice. Oh wait, this is the internet, nevermind.

In an attempt to be constructive, I will say this:
While some of your comments do have merit, you have to put them in a view of what they will add to the mod rather than just novelty effect. The amount of dark maps in UT are nil, due to the fact that dark maps go against the flow of the game, so flashlights and such are rendered as useless fluff. Chaotic Dreams not only can't make money off of the game due to restrictions of working with the UT engine, but won't due to the fact that goes morally against what a mod is; a free modification of a game to enhance gameplay, done through the free time of the developers of the mod simply because they want to. While donations are nice and most definately welcomed by the team, they aren't mandatory, and it goes against the moral code of the team to make it such. It is much like an artist or sculptor who makes no attempt to capitalize his/her art because s/he does it as a labour of love, something to be shared with and contemplated by the community at large. You have to look at development of the game from a perspective of balance and making it as best as possible, not just something to catch ones attention for a brief moment. Some of the things you suggested are already under development/on the drawing board already. More vehicles are planned eventually, and graphical updates are always underway. This mod isn't about total conversion, it's about adding a touch of chaotic to UT2k4. This has always been the goal with chaos, even back in the Quake days.

Being able to pick up flags while in a vehicle has already proven to be extremely buggy
Members of the UT2004Mods mailing list attempted to use vCTF and the vehiclepickups mutator with bad results

More vehicles: CUT team wants to get the current ones working first

wow, extreme shootage here...../skydives in flames....screeming "ARGGGGGGHGHHHHH"

to be honest dude, there no real point just shooting off a bunch of ideas, and expecting much in the way of positive comment. A LOT of work goes into the most mundane of things, and trying to keep a consistent theme throughout what seems to be a random collection of ideas is hard.

as for the layout of your post...well, ergh.you're no art student.....

just imagine your post is how you speak to ppl - we all stop for pauses when talking, so do the same in your posts....

ill regret this - why red???????

Just noticed this:

also you need to include a spray select screen

You haven't checked your Settings page lately have you?
Look for the Chaos tab

And...

you should also consider putting this game on cds and charging 5 dollars for special updates

Can't, it's part of the UT2004 EULA(the charging cash part)


And one last thing dave, the Enter/Return key is your friend

looks like I missed the fun?

Yea, hehehehe you missed me actualy going out of my way to be nice to someone and then them turning on me like rabbid wolfes. hehehe

Oh well.

No problem. Just saw people quoting someone with the name "dave" but then saw a few post created by a user named "guest" and since guest posting is supposed to be disabled I got all confused and such
