Ideas thread

Okay here is the idea thread that I mentioned in my proposals thread,
THESE ARE ONLY IDEAS, THEY MIGHT NEVER HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to make that clear :)

Okay, most of the ideas that are going to end up here are from the dev journals, but I’ll try to keep these to a minimum as they’re already easy to find (although quite longwinded) I’ll also try to make them short, and post a link. If I forget, just post or pm me and I’ll find a link or add/subtract something.

Why am I doing this? Because I love this mod and would love to see 10 pages of full servers for it.

I’m going to try structuring this,

Idea: (one line name)
Who: (who made it up/posted it first, I’ll change if proof is shown)
probability: (when it was first posted in forum, so people have an idea of chance of it happening and likely/unlikely etc.)
Link: (one or more)
Description: (paragraph and pictures showing it)

Just put this in your post…

Code: Select all

[b]Idea:[/b] 
[b]Who:[/b] 
[b]probability:[/b] 
[b]Link:[/b] 
[b]Description:[/b] 
I will try to restructure my other thread the same way.

If you want to find out what will probably/defiantly happen look at my proposals thread here!

Idea: Flame Tank (Devastator?)
Who: /me
probability: Probably 0, lol... Unless I can help :)
Link: Erm... Nowhere?
Description: A tank to replace goliath...

Primary fire would be flamethrower (vs players on foot),
secondary fire jettison from the ground. Kinda like Manta, but the tank would have no control in that case.
Weapon toggle would change between flamethrower for vs foot players and a cloud of nanobots for vs vehicles. Nanobots would 'die' after 3-5 seconds.
Advanced weapon option would be eject. Player would eject from the tank immediately, 2-5 seconds later the tank would go off in a very big boom indeed :)
The player would then have a pod which he could fly for some time, with limited fuel. The pod would have a defense machinegun with low ammo.

Ponder that one a little :)

Sorry for double post, I just think that each should go by itself..

Idea: Bow!
Who: /me!
probability: It's all low, what can I say? I think the team itself should say on this
Link: Technically it's a bow...
Description: It'd just need a bit of bone work for each player... Great for before fights and stuff!

We must have a curtsey emote! If we have a bow, curtsy is a must!

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Idea: Kick
Who: /me!!
probability: /me knows not!
Link: Erm... No link?
Description: You could kick the player, he'd fall down, read below what happens next ^^

Idea: Thrust
Who: /me!!
probability: /me knows not!
Link: Erm... No link?
Description: The player would thrust his sword into the dead opponent after victory! (or you could make it a combat move after kick when he falls down!)

Hmmm... Tim, I would counter ur kik idea there, but the thrust idea rox

Anyways, here is another suggestion:

Idea: NO WEAPON FIGHTING
Who: Lord Kungai
Probability: I have no idea
Link: None
Description: Hand to appendage combat! Primary fire is punch/kick (selectabe by change ammo) while secondary fire is block. AWO is special move, which varies as per race, eg: Skaarj - claw attack, robots - berserker charge, Gen-mo-kai - 6 consecutive swipes, Nights - acid launch, etc.

We already have a kick, and we determined a long time ago that unarmed melee would not be possible.

it is, but theres already a mod out there that does this - kaktulu (or something) 100%ragingcarnival is a kung fu mutator for ut2003 and i think, for ut2004. you can get it from ut200xhq.com

Right, there's a bunch of hand to hand combat mods already, but weapon combat is cooler anyway.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind finishing moves also. Is it possible to script something to play if you kill someone a certain way?
