JETPACK

[divVerent]

It already is a separate mutator.

But, in the future, I'd like it like this:

- it should eat "fuel", not "cells" (another stat for it, that is)
- the g_jetpack mutator should allow self-regenerating of the fuel (like in tribes)
- maps could contain a jetpack pickup, which basically would contain the fuel for it

This of course depends on someone making a model for it.

I'm up for the task, sounds like a fun project

slightly better bots and we have Zymotic

ai: it would just require a rotating pickup model...

but I prefer to implement this after the 2.5 release. In 2.5 it'll be just that mutator, and later it can be an actual item.

What about making a hook separate movement item like jetpack and not using weapon slot? (Actually, the same way it was before making it a weapon and jetpack using "e" instead)

[divVerent]

Not now, maybe later. Hook and Jetpack may share fuel, by the way.

Would be more logical. Hook would need buzzing sound for it's motor then.

So no model on the actual players? If so then that makes things a lot easier

Could using cells/rockets/bullets/shells be an optional server setting still (so one can still use on maps that don't have jetpack)?

[divVerent]

Unlikely, but as I said, the mutator will stay.
