CTF flags.

[Dokujisan]

Hmm, I like the concept, but it makes it difficult to refer to it as 'capture the flag' unless it has some resemblance to a flag, as opposed to just a sign.

Then again, what exactly is a flag? It's a type of sign, but I think it's intended to be loose and flutter in the wind to draw more attention.

But I like the idea of a holographic or "energy" based flag.

here is mine model made from your ideas

Man, I still can hardly believe that you actually managed to implement pretty much every idea from this thread This is open source awesomeness!

EDIT: You could still use Morphed's flag to protect yourself. That glowing end with the spinning cog-wheels could be some kind of energy/electro stuff. So from 1st person it would look like you're using a magician's wand.
This would require a hit effect, like a (team) colored flash or something. (Would be cool to beat somebody up in melee combat with your own team color. Kinda patriotic, isn't it?)
Maybe it could even have a small recoil, so that the carrier could use this thing as a (weakened) laser to jump around.
And this again could lead to a Mutator called "Flag Arena" Like that Laser Only gametype being in discussion.

I have no idea what you're on about.
Anyway, there's still something missing, Morpheds flag does look good, however it reminds too much of Unreal's flag. Just that makes it boring. The cog wheel on top is good, but everything else resembles Unreal (and it uses that Japanese war flag Doku showed us). More tech-stuff and another design would be better IMO.

Morphed, that flag model is AMAZING. I would love to see that in nexuiz

alright, i give up, you cloth fetishists

maybe something that incorporates the Nexuiz logo or parts of it in its shape:

cool concepts and models here
here is mine model made from your ideas
1110 polys (yes i know, i should had add one more polygon )
(... awesome flag image ...)

btw, you dont need to count every poly with flag, at max player can see 2 flags, so it wont hit fps much even if flag will be 3000polys

I love that model

Mean something like this?


Then I'm talking about the flag (cloth piece) not the stand. That's once of the first concepts I made.

[C.Brutail]

Lol, a few days I can't read the forum, and what happens?!
I absolutely vote on Morphed's one Takes out the best from all ideas.

[HarryButt]

I have no idea what you're on about.

It seems I have to visualize my ideas to make them understandable
Okay, you can use that flag as a melee weapon and a weakened laser replacement (since you can't use any weapon while carrying the flag you still might want to get up to higher places).
The push effect should be weaker than the one of the original laser to avoid laser-whoring. It might also have a certain amount of reload time.
The less laserjumping for the carrier, the more it's the team's task to protect him all the way back to base.

melee combat between flag carriers


and the so called FlagJump™


And my idea of a "Flag Arena" was like, everybody is carrying a flag in his own color and there's only trickjumping and melee combat.

I hope, it's all clear now.
Btw Morphed's flag ftw.

[GF]HarryButt that concept art is amazing.

I'm a little iffy on the idea of not allow the flag carrier to use weapons but instead the flag. I think it could be a turn for the better.

However, I require the ability to 'assasinate' another player. i.e. a melee from behind is an instant death... or 180 damage.
