CTF flags.

[HarryButt]

When picked up, this flag would be carried on-hand meaning you cant use *any* weapon while carying. it could act as a meeleweapon tho, perhaps evena a very powerfull one.

Would that mean, that there wouldn't be any high-speed laserjumping carriers anymore? I like that idea, for I actually could catch them now and then.
Though I suppose [-z-] wouldn't like that at all.

Holografic flag, perhaps projected over playres head or arround him whild carried.

I do like that idea more than a trail, Sure that the flag-carrier should be easy to spot, but not that easy that you can follow his trail. He would never be able to hide if he had followers, give him a chance now.

I and some others too think that the flag-carrier shouldn't have any weapons (except for a melee weapon or laser). It's not fun to play a map where the FC can rocket himself over the entire map and cap in just a few secs. So giving a melee weapon for the FC or halv the lasers power or increase the laser damage or something.

PS. I like this concept.

All concepts that involves cloth is good. I want cloth for flags.

Woho, I have a supporter!

[The mysterious Mr. 4m]

bah, cloth! you gotta FREE yourself!

but seriously, cloth in Nexuiz? was my design so bad?

(a torch would be cool. it could be used as a flaregun! but i prefer the other design with the "shield")

A "real" cloth flag will almost always look similar to a flag from another game.

I think when developing a new flag, the goal should be that in the forum of another game they will say: We sould have the same absolutely great flag in our game like they have in Nexuiz!

But in my opinion, the existing "flag" is not that bad, it just would need a fitting, a bit of logic, other than just being a "sprite" placed at the base.

I've taken tZork's concept and made it into a model rather quickly (didn't include the stand) just to see how it would look like. Now these are just something I slapped on in just a few minutes and it could have more detail and whatnot, you can easily see the polygons.

PS. The stick is supposed to be wood (as far as I can tell from the concept tZork provided), but they could also be made hightech sticks with buttons, LEDs and all that crazy stuff you guys drool over.

[HarryButt]

I've seen enough wood. Gimme these buttons.
And while you're at it. Make the cloth bigger!

Is it correct that the new Blender version has these fancy cloth physics?
Could be very useful for animating this stuff.

[tZork]

well, i did imagine the shaft as some non wood material, but the drawings are unclear on that point. i do think somekinda metal or other techish material with a glowy ting or two on would look more nexuizish then a wooden one.

I like [GF]HarryButt's shaft better because it's got attitude. tZork's is a little stiff, I think it needs more attitude. I agree that the flag should be bigger. I'm not too much a fan of the knife... unless we can use it.
