CTF flags.

[ai]

I vote for Sevs design, with possibly a different lower part design (for the stick). In all fairness it is a cloth only stretched, however you could also redesign the flagpart if you do not like the stretched idea.

I suppose we now gather all the designs, and submit any other changes and designs that you want, then we vote.

Damn I'll change my avatar.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo what have i done! XD PUT IT BACK!!!!

okay, how about replace the DOM points with my flag idea?

[sev]

Did any of you guys think about the code?

The flag follows the player, centered on him... At the moment it looks right, but with a "normal" flag it would look sicko...

Mr. Bougo's post inspired me, and I created a different concept. The stick design implies that the flag is hold by hand, either preventing the carrier to use any weapon, or the flag is a weapon.

My new concept is more like the current one, being carried without any restrictions: A flag backpack. I don't like cloth, so there is none. When picked up, the holo-generators detach and produce a glowing holo field. When at the base, I imagine it hovering in the air and spinning like the weapons. The 8 "things" in the middle are supposed to be gel-pads, making it more comfortable to wear and adding some futuristic details.

sev, stop posting concepts or my brain's gonna explode

Capture the Backpack... Heck, why not? But then we're at the same point as in page 1 with my spinning cogwheels.
I thought you guys like cloth

Anyway, imo it's time for a vote. Srsly.
Are we going to number the concepts?

It seems like freeimagehosting.net is down. I suppose, I have to reup my concepts until page 3.

LOL.. Capture the Backpack is kinda what it is now

As long as it doesn't have any effect on my FPS i could care less tbh

EDIT:
Fix the crylink ffs!!

[ai]

I think the majority still wants cloth, I am one of them. Sevs last concept does not appeal to me that much. However, Sev mentioned that when holding the flag would prevent the player to use any weapons or the flag itself is a weapon. That's exactly what we're trying to go for, as the flag-carrier shouldn't be able to use any weapons, except like some kind of weakened laser, or a melee weapon or something. Only to prevent jumping over the entire map and flying in the air like people always do with no way to stop the flag-carrier.

[Mr. Bougo]

I think the FC is weak enough. See, if you get chased by three enemies, that means you need a teammate to protect you... Even two... And most people don't really care about teamplay, right?

[Barfly]

IAnd most people don't really care about teamplay, right?

Wise words, sad as it is

[HarryButt]

Well, the intention of disarmed flag carriers was originally supposed to enhance teamplay, for the flag carrier can't do much, so he's got to be protected by the others.
At least, that's what I hope for. Of course it's a risk for gameplay, but it could be tested on a separate server just for starters.

I was hoping to catch the carrier at least once... :cry: Don't destroy my dream...

[Psychcf]

I think the problem with sev's concept is that /with/ the glow would stand out too much, and without it, you'd only be able to see the flag from the sides.

I'd much rather have a cloth flag.

By the way, what ever happened to that physics library? I was wondering if maybe we could put cloth-simulation into it, and apply it to the flag.
