What are the sort of things that the playerbase can expect from the next Sauerbraten update? Gamemodes, user interfaces, or graphical updates?

Where things far away are "out of focus". Most people would probably leave it off for high speed multiplayer (as depth of field reduces accuracy), but I think it would be a nice option to have.

It's quite overhyped and very difficult to get right (i.e. noticeable, but not annoying). I doubt it'd be worth it.

DoF - advanced sonyblur for their interactive movies.
HDR (not this technology itself, but how gamedesigners usually see it) - sonyoverexposure for their interactive movies.
So, it will be necessary only if you're porting Sauer to PS3.

It's HDR, but not the 1337er sonyoverexposure tech. :(

I've discussed this with someone else already. Look at the context of what Specularis actually written. Both subjects would practically fit into it.

Dumb to ask, but for when is it now announced? I believe to remember something like \"this year. unclear when exactly, but this year\" while someone else told \"still a bit less than a year left\". Now I am unsure.

#318: Missing things

by Honzik1 on 09/06/2012 13:37

There will be new Sauer release soon as we know...and there are still missing (in my opinion) important things which should be done by default (!!!BY DEFAULT!!!):

1) Server should hold the total score for modes like: instagib team, teamplay, effic team,... Actual condition: Players connects, switch teams, disconnects and team score changes on every event and it is not fair!! (Or...now at the end of game I can choose which team will win if i have a lot of frags and I just switch....stupid)

2) Visible teammates on the radar...will we finaly see the teamplay? (Answer: Ask eihrul if he is going to implement this)

3) Reduce face to face spawn places on maps like: capture night, face-capture and more

4) Reduce chaingun efficiency (bigger spread or less damage)....this weapon mostly destroy EFF in using just one weapon all the time, or rename this mode to "cgEFF"? Weapons should be more balanced.

5) /pausegame command available for the master of server, not just for the admin of server.

Less important but also things which should not miss:

6) Visible frags and flags on the scoreboard for CTF modes (Or in the best would be new column called "score" which includes some amount of points for: return flag, score flag, pick flag, frag, steal flag,...)

7) A-Z sorted maps....Eihrul!! its horrible to remember places especially when you add the new maps which mix the placings...

8) Server browser mode filter...I would be much easier to find for example eCTF server between milions of the iCTF servers.

9) Master of server via auth can be stolen by another boy with auth....is there any reason of this?

10) The kick command should include these parameters: /kick cn hours "reason"


To Eihrul:
I know that things like "use premultiplied-alpha for grass textures to avoid darkening around grass outlines" are important for you, BUT most of active players would be more happy for improvements which changes real gameplay or improve comfortability of the game...just look above..
