Wishlist for the next release (cosmetical, easy ones plees!)

Developer discussion of experimental fixes, changes, and improvements.

Moderators: Nexuiz Moderators, Moderators


  • There are some things I'd like to have changed for the next release:

    - the invisibility powerup results in too much transparency of the invisible player. I've talked to a bunch of Minsta players, they don't like it and we want it the old way, so the invisible player isn't really invisible

    - the firerate of the nexgun in the Minstagib mode is too low by default. No server uses this low rate, and nearly any server ever used it. So why can't we have a 1.0 firerate when creating a minstagib server?

    More ideas to come...

  • Would new character models be considered a little wish? :)

  • That's a big wish, but one that is very important.

  • finally have a distinct sound for either mega health or flag pickup, so they are not the same sound

    whoever re-did the mg, nex and rl models recently did an awesome job - I really like the look of the new weapons and think they fit the feel of nexuiz perfectly - I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the weapon models changed over to this new style

  • Thumbnails are really important. I have a strong suspicion that some really poor maps get voted just because they have a funny name (aka, "WTF")

  • None of these changes is minor :P

    Thumbnails would be REALLY cool, but are held back by there being no possibility to upload the map pictures on demand.

    As for the MinstaGib Nex refire rate - this CAN be already changed.

    set g_balance_minstagib_nex_refire 1.5

    Only applies to MinstaGib. Reason AGAINST changing this is that people would get too much used to the faster refire in MinstaGib, and have a hard time using the Nex in regular games. That's why the current default is equal to the regular Nex. But this could be changed.

    As I do not play MinstaGib, can anyone make a "survey" by joining all MinstaGib servers to check which refire rate they have (1.0 or 1.5)?
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • This one probably isn't minor either, but I'll suggest it anyway :-)

    Use the code from spidflisk that displays the stats for each player at the end of the match.

  • Separate item drops. Drop "weapon" drops weapon from inventory, in case one has it. Drop "ammo X" drops X amount of ammo from inventory, if player has it.
    Health and armour is not droppable, neither the flag :P

  • Oh, that's a great suggestion....one that I have thought about before. That would change team games considerably.
