: : : OK here is a simplified list of everything i personally think should be added or modified in this awesome mod: : : : 1. Grappling hook (can be disabled by admin) : : coming.. (no promise when) : : : 2. Admin menu : : not a biggy (later!) : : : 3. More penalty for killing fellow marine : : more obtruse message, maybe up it to -2 : : : 4. Marines start off with more stuff (or make it server adjustable...kinda like Lithium) : : touchy, might thro off "balance". : : Lots complain about "starting with flare", well with experiance, perception and other "smarts" rolled in ...look at what is -the- most dangerious weapon to use against the pred? The light is. This will bring many marines and rockets. The Flare is just one source. : : Oppions differ, but time will show yu, pred' just about always runs from light. : : (I am reffering to smart ones, those that live longer than average!:) : : : 5. A map pack with custom maps (i can even personally give out some of the maps i have, most i didn't make but they are cool nonetheless) : : All maps would need permission : : : 6. Have the MOTD show up on the screen when u join (not where you have to hit TAB twice) : : supposed to be on front of menu, then enter.. : : : 7. New Predator model (just go find a decent one on the net and ask for permission to use it from the author im sure he'll let you) : : Asked, no replies. Would preffer an "original" that "fits" the story, also would need to be humanoid as will be mutant from male/female/cyborg marines. And easily recognisable in any setting. : : : 8. At least 2 more weapons for the pred : : Not realy needed in base q2, pred' is not suposed to do "DM frag-fights", should be out on stealth missions. : : Then they will live longer. : : : 9. Either make the pred recharge ammo quicker or let him pick it up (too many times have i been killed because i ran out of ammo when i was pred) : : I never have.. : : : 10. If you really include all these i will worship at your feet and offer my humble server 24/7 to you forever. :-) : : A curtsy would be more than plenty.. : Hmmm having to make a new model would make the project take a lot longer. On average (to the best of my knowledge) it takes a decent modeller about 2 months to make a good model (about the same time for a kick ass map). Plus you would have to go out and find someone capable of doing the modelling and willing to do it for your mod only... : my only other 'real' gripe is the newbie base of players. I fully understand that you do not want to add 100 new binds and i truly discourage this. But you need to find someway to make it easier for the newbies to understand what needs to be done. I mean i've got people who get on my server and download all the files directly off the server. They dont get the .cfg files to bind their keys and since they downloaded all the files already they dont want to download them all again just to get those .cfg files. Im not sure what you could do to help this. But to make the MOTD appear on the screen itself without any other menus (hint hint....like the Lithium MOTD) i think that would help alot. The server admins could then put a small selection of the most used binds for the newbies to read. (like flares, flashlight and zoom for pred) This would help them ease into the game and to help out the server admins. It would also make the mod more popular because you dont have to read 15 different manuals to learn how to play the game. : ok i've babbled too long once more...peace out : -ColdFuzion
