As D1 said, it's hard to implement for very little gain.

Please don't tweak an item that doesn't exist yet, lol.

Items can't change the multifire angle, sorry.

No to both. Neither is possible.

I have no objection to changing the bullet graphics, but I wouldn't be looking for something radically different, just something to help make the distinction bigger. Maybe just a color shift? Bomb graphics are harder, because even though some of them bounce, they turn into normal bombs after their final bounce. I really don't see much point in changing the bomb graphics.

You mean something like the infusion (no layed brick) that gives people a shut down prize? Yeah, that'd be fairly easy to achieve. I'm not sure if people would much like it though.

It overflows at either 2 or 4 billion (I forget at the moment). I'm the only guy even close to that, sorry.

I've explained it a few times already. Go search the forum.

For the record, it was not a GP thing. That's just Death+ trying to shift blame off of himself. GP probably added to the conflict toward the end, but I know for a fact (I have all my AIM logs) that Death+ wanted this way before GP chimed in.

The second isn't possible, but some form of the first might be. It's not easy to slow someone down, but an engine shut down would be a piece of cake.

Changing jitter would only effect the guy who fires it, making it a pretty pointless change, IMO. It would also effect other people who have the same item, but I doubt there would be many takers.

It's not possible to change the map while people are playing on it, sorry. Though it is possible to not send their weapon packets when they are in the field, it would still look like they're shooting on their screen. I think this would confuse players more than a little, so it's probably not the best idea.

It's purpose is to make using jump engines easier. Since there are no jump engines in the game yet, it's just there taking up screen space.

I haven't seen Lan in a while, but everyone else has at least logged in since August.

Prox shouldn't be changed from player to player, or the bomb will explode on some people's screen and not on others.

I'm surprised that Death even let you post on these forums, chambahs.

Bomb damage and thor damage are one and the same. Can't have an item that changes one without changing the other.

Zone is back online. New IP, so you'll have to download it from the zone list.

Yes, because they don't fit into what I have in mind. Most things don't, and those that do I've probably already come up with. But, that said, many things that are in the zone were thought up by other people, so keep posting ideas.

I downloaded that and it does edit maps lol. I don't have any instructions, but here's a quick overview: you have to strip out the region stuff with an ASSS tool, and then convert all the special tiles to one of the tiles on the tileset. Then you can edit it, convert the special tile placeholders back to the special tiles, and readd the region stuff.

I disagree. I've never, ever made HS for the players. I've always made it for myself. I appreciate the fact that other people happen to like it too, but keeping a high population isn't my goal here. It will be up when it's up. I generally don't give time frames, because I'm almost always wrong, and players seem to take it as a personal insult (as they did in this thread, when steig gave one).

I'd advise people not to take much out of this post. Some of his points are correct, but most of them are wrong and/or misleading. You have been warned.

Because a public biller would achieve no more than ?passwd already does. Existing names in the DB don't get protected.

I've heard worse ideas, but it won't really help anything, IMO.
