What ever happened the guy old fashioned exploding barrel? Or for that matter, any entity that would be nice to trigger an explosion for?

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that's a notable missing feature.

That would be cool, but also bloat!


Would look pretty bad though, because anything moving breaks the lightmap.


and if you made it fullbright, the lightmap would be fine, but it would look terrible.

The train would be a model.. models don't break the lightmap.

If it did, you couldn't have a character model.. or trees.. or anything.

you could, because those don't move...


...yet.

I see though, you can already animate a mapmodel, but the bounding box stays put.


Why not collision models?

You could create an entity for it that blows up when killed, just like any other monster. That way it would use a stencil shadow.

mapmodels can be told in their .cfg whether or not to cast shadows, and they wouldn't ever be fullbright, unless the map is fullbright.

I have to stop lurking just long enough to say... they're still fun.

They were great in HL2. :)

And worth making fun of...

ArsenicSauce is right, they are fun.

Blah blah blah bloat blah blah gameplay blah blah entities blah blah.


They are still fun.


Oh, and LOL at that comic.


I bet the guy who posed all those, just couldn't resist shooting one of them when he was done getting the shot.

#62: Suicide bomber

You know what culd be cool, a suicide bomber vest, so one player on the team goes to an area infested with other players and ka-boom and sacrifice himself but create an opening fro his teammates

Yeah, that completely fits in with Sauerbraten's gameplay. </sarcasm>

I think you're referring to AssaultCube, though, and in that case, go to the AC forum: http://assault.cubers.net/forum/

I hate the math puzzles >:(

Anyway as for you the answer, I do that in actioncube as it's fun but for Cube 2(SauerBraten)It doesn't fit, Cube 2 is mostly about free for all instead of team gaming so if you suicide you will remove 1 point of your frag points so no, Suicide bomber is the worst suggestion I have seen on these boards.

Fun? Yes.
Realistic? No. :P

How often do you encounter exploding barrels in real life?

Every time you pass one of those propane tank displays? Gas pumps? Pintos?

how many do you actually 'encounter' those explosions, Acord? :-)

Other Question: How often do you encounter people running around with rifles, shotguns and rocket launchers, running and jumping around?

Note: This question is addressed to anyone living outside the US. =D =D

Depends if anyone shoots it or not, or causes a static spark at the pump. People blow up every day, man.

exploding barrels on their own are not very fun anymore. You also need to apply physics to them.

Exploding barrels + meatbags + bullets = fun

See? I just scientifically proved that exploding barrels are fun.

Is Sauerbraten real life? No. I think that explosive barrels would be cool, just like the ones in the 007 games.
