Ideas/suggestions for the future

Gametype features:
* Add a cvar to show fullbright alternative skins for classes?

Gameplay:

your turret looks strange :/

Ye, I think the gun is supposed to be above the tripod :P

luls. i thought it should look like that.

awesome, really fast work. look forward to feedback.

a few things from running around for a few minutes.

theres a bug with the models when changing class. I cant remember the exact fix, but u can find it in the sticky thread about assigning models to classes.

can u make the grunt and medic drop ability their class action???

i dont think the grunt with no walljump works, as it totally blocks the grunt in some parts of the map. ie on ctf3 near LG. maybe slowing him down a bit more and giving him walljump ability would work better.

Id also think that having classes with different strong/weak ammo loadouts would help balance the classes a bit more, rather than allowing for ammo pickups.

The plasma firing turret also doesnt work imo, it misses a hell of a lot (it cant predict) and the projectile looks very wierd coming from the center of the entity.

another thing, have the teams spawn by the flag and the round start straight away rather than having a countdown with no ability to fire.

i look forward to trying it out when i get back home.

forced models for classes?!

yes

fyl, change that please + fyl

how do u expect to be able to know what class yourgoing up against?

this shouldnt change imo

great feature is great lolololololol

HINT: in quakelive, you can distinguish team powerups, A,D,G,S : http://www.quakelive.com/#guide/guide_9

1. gun drop onto a sentry crashed the server immediately!
2. how to modify a sentry?
3. wheres metal / wrench to repair?
4. wheres a dispenster?
5. why just one class has a melee weapon?

The answer to your questions, qbert, is that this is warsow. You can't do weapons in gametype scripts, and only a turret building has been created.

Imo the turret must have bigger foot, here is tiny foot :) --> Make it powerful :)

Edit: you just put a class restriction : per ex only 2 medics, 1 engineer by team for exemple
this gametype should be apply to bomb

Find a minor bug with the medic : text description is wrong
and a bug if you fire a rocket under the turret he jump a little bit and move from his possition .
Bug (minor) try to fire on the turret when you are on it
a turret didn't fire at an another turret
Self damage from the plasma gun are still there normal?
Turret can be place everywhere when you look forward, if you look the floor you can't place a turret !
If you are a gunner and you write in the consol drop turret it drop an armor :)

You should put too an icon form putting turret or armor : like that you doesn't have to go to the console and write " drop turret"
http://www.tsawri.com/out.php/i40139_wsw00007.jpg

You should also create a heath bar to the turret
and new weapon (more TF2 weapon but i like the idea) repair, a gun who gain life to your teamate, and a big shield who can protect teamate who are behind the gunner. :)

ps: somebody join the test server? :)

gt is off from the server for now until all crash stuff is sorted out :/

Uploaded v0.2 anyway which has gameplay problems sorted out.

Yeah turret class seems to be far from finished, yet. If im bored enough I will try to get some things working :P.

Well it's not a bug that the turret jumps but a feature, won't be to hard to disable i hope.

Didn't know that turrets can fire at each other, they are no players so many things don't apply to them.

homart wrote:

Turret is no player but has a team so normally in a team gametype selfdmg should work correctly. Could really be a code problem ;)

homart wrote:

You probably just look too close to yourself, turrets can't/shouldn't be spawned in other objects like players so they have to have a minimum distance to you ^^

This works from the classaction or just simply from default drop bind. No need to write that.

it would be more easy for putting turret armor,...
No?
