BG Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 /takes down notes. Think..BEFORE! typing.. -------------------------- Anyway, A friends list would be nice, I.E. ?friends LOLNAME - Last Seen (whatever)LOLOTHER - Currently in (arena/zone)LOLTHIRD - Currently in (arena/zone) It'd be nice to be able to keep track of 10-15 people without asking or doing a ?find on every single one of them.

Kameloh Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 Um. Gravity? No, not the kind of gravity that goes X/Z, but Y gravity! You know, add weights to certain ships and so on and if they let go of thrust, they're going to slow down! Like.. infantry. I guess. How about several layers of maps? How about.. tiles on the maps that can activate things: if (playershotme && guns=6 || playerbumpedintome && explodes) { open laserbeam3451.lv2; play opendoor.wa2 sleep 3; //seconds play omgwtf.mp3 } else { botmessage #1200: YOU NEED A KEY TO OPEN THIS DOOR !@#$%^&*IT!; } It would be fun to have doors n stuff.

Smong Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 I've setup a page on my site where you can add suggestions and search it:http://toktok.sscentral.com/ss-suggestions.php No one else has made one for at least a year despite it being suggested more than once.
»SOS Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 You need to register before you can add a suggestion The site is a neat thing but that's a Bad Thing
»SOS Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 What improvements could be done to the squad functions?
Paine Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 Multiple squad leaders?Subdivisions in squads? (maybe with a captain for each, all under one leader)better #chat system... make it a nice little colour... like... poiple.
Smong Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 You need to register before you can add a suggestion The site is a neat thing but that's a Bad Thing <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I don't have much experience with websites so I modified a news script to allow people to register themselves. Comments can be made anonymously and registering protects your name from being misused. An ideal suggestion page would also have a rating on each suggestion much like http://quotes.ssforum.net/ but unfortunately everyone has a lazy streak. I'm am more than sure there are people around that are capable of making (or -cough- donating) such a system .
»SOS Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 Well I find this board is as good a suggestion place as any. Seeing as it gets a lot more traffic than any "new" site too.
Kameloh Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 How about.. weaponry that can slow down opponents? Example: Super Mega Stun Gun G14 Extreme.. X, shoots it's laserbeam of doom and immobolizes a certain player in their place. Like... //Guns[super Mega Stun Gun G14 Extreme X]GunID=0344GunDamageLevel1=20GunDamageLevel2=24GunDamageLevel3=27GunWeight1=100 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunWeight2=105 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunWeight3=115 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunThrustWeight=2 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunThrustWeight=3 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunThrustWeight=4 //subtract's from owner's initial statsGunSlowdownLevel1=200 //Subtracts from enemy's current speedGunSlowdownLevel2=215 //Subtracts from enemy's current speedGunSlowdownLevel3=230 //Subtracts from enemy's current speedGunGraphicLevel1=smgg14.gifGunGraphicLevel2=smgg14ex.gifGunGraphicLevel3=smgg14exx.gifGunNameLevel1=Super Mega Gun G14GunNameLevel2=Super Mega Gun G14 ExtremeGunNameLevel3=Super Mega Gun G14 Extreme XGunDeathMessage1=%KILLED has been zapped by %KILLER's SMGG14!GunDeathMessage2=%KILLED has been blown away by [%m_his/%f_her] Al Capowner: %KILLER!GunDeathmessage3=%KILLED has been annihilated by [%m_Mr./%f_Miss] %KILLER!GunDamageInnerRadius=40 //size of the inner explosion (if appliable)GunDamageOuterRadius=70 //size of the outer explosion (if appliable)GunInnerDamagePercentile=75% //for both Damage and SlowdownGunOuterDamagePercentile=25% //for both Damage and SlowdownGunAngle1=5 //degrees on how the projectile misses when firedGunAngle2=8 //degrees on how the projectile misses when firedGunAngle3=13 //degrees on how the projectile misses when firedGunAccelerationSpeed1=150 //can be negative. the amount of speed that the projectile can gain/lose during a period of time (based on accelerationtime)GunAccelerationSpeed2=130GunAccelerationSpeed3=110GunAccelerationTime1=100 //based on milliseconds. increases/decreases weapon acceleration based on accelerationspeed every x or so millisecondsGunAccelerationTime2=90GunAccelerationTime3= //Misc Options for WeaponsUseTeamColorTable=1 //if the weapon and/or fire projectile will use the index color table of their team (example: blue team will have blue guns/projectiles based on a color table) ---- How about turrets? Turrets would be fun. Deployable, Destroyable, etc. Woops, I got carried away.
Paine Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 Kam: DAMAGE: Maximum speed decreased How about missiles, damage dependant on speed of collision, missiles could have customisable (in server settings) acceleration, up to a max speed
Samapico Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 heatseeking mines.... when you get close to them they start going your way... with a certain acceleration and top speed, also dependant on the distance between you and the mine ; if u move away from it before it catches you, the mine just stops there and waits for another opponent.... tractor beam ô.o ...... kinda like a negative repel... but.... cooler i guess... would work in only 1 direction..... ......... escape pods! .... woot....... then you tractor up your friend's pods to let them respawn.... or you have to drop them somewhere ... and meanwhile they can be a turret... or something like that... cargo bays! get stuff in cargo... could be... probes... (woot, each idea i get gives me another one) or you could store some spare batteries to have a quick recharge rate for a limited time... drop unwanted cargo... maybe trade cargo ... a teamate could tractor in a cargo you droped. The more cargo you have onboard, the slower you are.... Probes! you drop them, and they provide X-radar cover for all the team in a certain radius...... could also make each ship's x-radar radius different.......for example, one ship could have a very short range xradar... it would see cloakers when they are at XXX pixels or nearer from them. Probes could be destroyable... have a certain energy / recharge rate..... maybe some basic weaponry....... Turrets that you drop and they shoot stuff... kinda like shooting bots..... you could mount / unmount them and have them in cargo bays... they could defend Probes..... ...... oh well i gotta go now.. enough of these.. wee
BG Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Manually controlled turrets, maybe emplacements on a space station? I.E. It has L3 bombs (or whatever the !@#$%^&* the strong weapons will be) but has to be controlled by a human? Also, cloaked mines would be pretty awesome, in a lame kind of way. Maybe Cloaked mine = Takes 2x energy of normal mine, and has a constant drain on your ship until it explodes? ( The mine, or your ship ) Also, Manually exploding bombs would be cool, so like, if you miss, you can use a small amount of energy to make it explode and not be a completely worthless shot.
GENERAL_SLAYER Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 what about having your friends list right on the main menu so you can see where your friends are at / or on / and also a lil side chat on it so when u doulbe click there name you PM them what you want. also so you can have groups like for your squard, your favortie zone. That would be pretty neat.
GENERAL_SLAYER Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 it was on that topic anyways i meant to put that qoute in der....paine just keep it to your self dude.---------------------------------i have a question do really want to stick to 2dor should we have a 3d vitual universe like the from cnlhttp://cnl.sscentral.com/ maybe make it even better than that...thats what i piture the next contuimm to look like or what ever we call it-gs
»Purge Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Dissolves squads that you own older than 2 months that has the least logins of.
Kameloh Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Keep the game play 2d please, but allow 3d ships (and/or 2d graphics) Subspace wouldn't be.. subspace if it was 3D.
Samapico Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 maybe it has been said before... specific turret emplacements on ship... for huge ships that can hold multiple turrets, you could board the ship at different points (side turrets, tailgunner, etc.) ... maybe limit the firing angle of each turret... allow friendly fire (guns FF on/off , bombs FF on/off , friendly splash damage on/off) ......wow...... if 'every' thing in here could be done (ok... maybe not 'every'thing... but at least the good ideas ) it would allow ALOT of customized gameplay... but have to keep in mind it cannot be too complex... i.e., you can't just add 135 other new weapons... have to keep the controls usable... one way to use multiple weapons without using 14516 different key bindings would be to have 1 or 2 'secondary' weapons bays, and toggle the available weapons into them. Actually... they would be '3rd' weapon....... since primary=guns, secondary=bombs as for allowing 3d ships... i'm not sure... this would require a 3d engine.......... it would be great to have something to convert 3d models into ship#.bm2 and ##roll.bm2 though... but the game would only use bitmaps directly (or png's, whatever) a simple cool add-on:instead of having only a yellow dot to represent yourself on radar, make it a small arrow... piloting while checking only radar would be easier, the enemies could also be represented by arrows... this arrow graphic would be, of course, customizable
»D1st0rt Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 bunch of different radar suggestions herehttp://toktok.sscentral.com/ss-suggestions.php
BDwinsAlt Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Ok first of all... 1.Auto-Reconnect2.*getfile to certian directory3.Owners.txt Ok 1. When you get disconnected from a zone or if u go afk and the zone goes down you can re-connect. 2.When you want to save a map to a certian place like ur desktop you can type *getfile map.lvl c:\windows\desktop\ 3.When a noob sysop tries to *sysop u and then shut u up or ban u from ur zone or ur friends zone...if ur on owner.txt sysop can't *sysop you, *shutup *kill or *getfile owners.txt or anything like that. Just something that would keep zone owners COMPLETELY in control. Just some ideas...
GENERAL_SLAYER Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 -what about a tracer where a specal button you press you shoott a lil tracker on a ship and you can see that ship no matter what radars are on intill you die or ship you tracked died (good for baseing).-up to 10 floors of maps ( u could use warp and some other thing to deirect it to other .lvl) so like a base could be a couple floors lol -alot more custumizeing....because thats what the game is rele all about.. make so many more things your can do in settings cuz thats what we play by. we need that the most perfect.....thats it for now....-GS
