Cube 2 Idea Mine - Discuss

by AlternateLives on 11/23/2011 19:53, 237 messages, last message: 03/22/2018 02:32, 248101 views, last view: 11/01/2024 00:55

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!

That's only making playing with nuke more interesting and hard, but benefiting.
And still
>So how about no to all these weapon suggestions?
It was only argument against nuke, not against plasma and assault rifle.

The 'assaultrifle' is just a slightly enhanced version of the pistol, so no need to add at all.

A pickup akin to the quaddamage that increases your reload speed for a limited time

A pickup that gives you ammo for all weapons, possibly full ammo or 2x that of a regular ammo pickup

A pickup that gives you full invulnerability for a very small period of time, possibly still allows explosions to move you so someone can rocket you off the edge of a map

tl;dr new pickups

Both of your suggestions ae taken from other games like quake 3 arena.
1st - haste, only the increased movement speed is missing.
2nd
- that's just as invurnerability.

Why not suggesting the personal teleport item to get a free spawn without dying or the flight power up right away so we got jetpacks?

#162: 3D stereo video

by c2h5oh on 01/14/2013 18:01

Recently I buy TV with 3D option (LG 42LM340T). And I found that it is really easy to add stereo 3d to video games. All I need is to split video output horizontally or vertically and render output for each frame twice: for left eye and for the right eye.
I have a lot of programming experience,but newbie to sauerbraten code. Currently I modify sources and can run sauerbraten in real 3D, like in IMAX cinema.
But have some bugs then switch beetween normal output/stereo 3D. I cant modify sources to work with nvidia stereovision, because I don't have this videocards, I can only do that for LG polarized 3D vision (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarized_3D_system)
or similar.
This mean, that I don't use drivers to output stereo video, but output two splitted frames for each eye on one monitor.
Is this interesting to community? I can post path if
somebody find this interesting.
P.S. sorry for my bad English

I can only speak for myself here, but I find this very interesting and I hope people familiar with Sauerbraten code are interested, too, and willing to help.

Though I gotta say: This won't be of much use for me personally. The only stereo video options I have are Samsung's shutter 3D system and Nvidia Stereovision :)

Idea for gamemode: players spawn with one random gun and small amount of ammo, but when they're killed, they drop everything they had as loot. So the goal is not only to kill people, but also to kill people who have powerful guns and to kill them fast, so they spend less ammo on you, and also to prevent other people to pick up the loot.
Probably won't be good on crowded servers - people will just run around and pick up everything not stopping to have fight with anyone - but will be really interesting on big maps with small amount of players.

A quiz with randomly generated questions that people have to fill out at their first start-up of Sauerbraten, to go sure that they\'ve read the docs and know that they e.g. can lock and spec and not just ragekick.

Can you please provide information, where you do this in red eclipse? I was download latest code, and can't find where you draw scene for right eye, and where for left.
There two ways to do that: 1) select right and left buffers using opengl glSelectBuffer(). videodrawer will make stereo-video; or 2) draw on the same buffer two times: for left and right eye, using glViewport(). 3D TV later make stereo-video from this strange output. (my way).
I will implement both, but currently working on second.

This is example: http://www.box.com/shared/ibk7tvo1vwakmp14kkfp

my 3D TV will make stereo-video from this screenshot. Top and Bottom views little bit different (for left and right eyes).

Did you understand, that I want to run sauerbraten in stereo-video?

A quick search for 'stereo' in the red-eclipse code finds that quick, and in the obvious place - rendergl.cpp

What about a new color for auth people? It displays the name on top in purple, so why not also in the master list?

And additionally perhaps something like a /getauthname command or something like that to check out which code has been used in case you just saw the purple message, but not the actual name due to some kinda spam (e.g. tons of quads in edit) made it scroll away too fast.

to be honest, we need a second console on the top of the screen, preferably on the right corner, which is dedicated to frags only. that would clear things right up with all the spam that usually occurs.

Not sure if it was here or in another topic, but I believe that someone had the idea to make walls actually protect you from explosions.

Wouldn't this be possible if you made a line-of-sight calculation from the explosion middle to all players in range?
I mean, the bots already use LoS. So that or a similar calculation could be possible.
I am not that good with the code, that's why I ask.
Another question that comes up if it the result justifies the costs...

Shall we say the explosions are miniature nukes and thats why you can see the flash and get injured when behind walls :P

I just had a similar idea where bot code could be used to edit surfaces by pushing out from the explosion!

Just change fullconfilter, confilter, and/or miniconfilter.

It takes a bitwise value, the bits are...

CON_INFO = 1<<0,
CON_WARN = 1<<1,
CON_ERROR = 1<<2,
CON_DEBUG = 1<<3,
CON_INIT = 1<<4,
CON_ECHO = 1<<5
CON_CHAT = 1<<8,
CON_TEAMCHAT = 1<<9,
CON_GAMEINFO = 1<<10,
CON_FRAG_SELF = 1<<11,
CON_FRAG_OTHER = 1<<12,
CON_TEAMKILL = 1<<13

Nah, not what i meant. I said, "separate" console for frags :P

Speaking of which, it would be nice if the chat console wouldn't be blacked out when something is spamming the top console for a change.

Spectators remain invisible to players, but specs can see other specs, lol
