Cube 2 Idea Mine - Discuss

After seeing idea after idea get shot down all over the place in these forums, it occurred to me that perhaps this thread might be a good idea.

Got an idea for a Cube 2 mod? Go ahead and get it out of your system and post it here. If you are a modder, scroll through these. Maybe one of them can give you some inspiration.

Note to developers and long-time forum users: this is not intended to be a place where future updates or changes to the game you know and love to be posted. This is merely a place where half-formed (but possibly good) ideas can be discussed at present value without having them immediately shot down.

On that note, the only rule: No attacking of ideas just because they are not implementable within the current engine.

Have fun!

Marginally slower turning for all weapons except the handgun!

Weapon "turning balance" - the larger the gun the slower for the player to spin round, and with increasing chance for them to fall over?

That might be realistic, but somewhat annoying to gameplay :P

Originally I was thinking basing the balance on how weapons were useful in real life, but that would hurt gameplay with the style of maps already chosen! So I based it on the ingame handgun usefulness instead!

Oops forgot the shotgun! 8/10

#130: weapon turning balance!

by Zamwa on 10/26/2012 07:13

I'm probably over thinking this, I just thought of balancing the difference on weapon effective ranges!

handgun 8/10
rifle 7/10
grenade launcher 9/10
shotgun 9/10
machine gun 9/10
rocket launcher 8/10
chainsaw 10/10

This configuration would make aiming with all weapons comfortable with all game modes and maps!

Code & guinea pigs anyone? :"P

Only making a double nade jump from zero is a bit harder now.

Would it be good idea to put in a sort of 'sightseeing' mode? Have the HUD stats gone and maybe set the walking speed a little slower, so that we can just walk around, admiring the maps? Kind of like Platinum Arts Sandbox before 2.8?

It might seem a bit stupid, but I'd love a mode like that in the game, or at least in a mod.

(Also, I'd love it if there were a Slender mod. Just sayin'.)

Use spectator for that.

Good idea. Tweaking the floatspeed a bit and with /hidehud 1 you can turn the last bits of the HUD invisible.

Can just use gamespeed...

#138: Opinion

by Misterwright on 12/16/2012 17:49

Weapon balancing changes are ok but i wouldnt like to have mods that make sauerbraten more like minecraft or add rpg elements or something.
Sauerbraten is a really nice fps, im having really fun in multiplayer with all the action there and the big variety of gamemodes and I am against big changes.

Ability for grenades to kill players. Oh wait, that's already included.

Ability to pick up and score the flag!

Ability not to kill anyone, yet to make a dead player spawn at the place of explosion (after the boom).

Or... Make a bot with 80 skill (and quad?) And a random weapon which attacks your opponent. This adds a tricky random effect to the gameplay.
