Topic: [IDEAS] My Ideas! (Ok, there were enough useless ideas, right?)

Hiho. I  know, there were some ideas a few days ago, but I have some Ideas, too. (And I think most of them won't kill the TW-Feeling)
I think this is the right area, because i've seen some here.
Ok, let's start!

1 - GUI Ideas

  1.1 - Extended main-screen
    Ok, I know what you think: "NO". But listen to me: What about a new extended main-screen, or... More tabs.
    We have got tabs like Internet, LAN, Favorites etc, but what about a tab called "News"?. Some players ingame even
    didn't KNOW that the official TW-Site exists! So I thought an ingame-news-system would be nice, with links to the
    official site.
    A new console would be nice too. (I mean the rcon console) Some players have to look again and again to know
    what command does what. So a new console would be nice. With tabs, lists of players and so on.
    This would make kicking and banning a lot more comfortable: You just click on the name in the rcon-list, enter a
     number of minutes for the banning-time and click "ban". Whoop! Tee XY is banned!
    The ban and kick process now takes just too long! You have to tipe "status", look for the small written name that
    moves upwards all the time and tipe "ban xy 120" to ban it. That's uncomfortable and hurts the eyes.

  1.2 - More Buttons
    And the next one: More UI buttons! I'm looking forward to seeing buttons like: "Map Editor" <- Ever thought
    about this? I think only 30% of the TW players know how to open it, so an UI button would be nice!

2 - Config Ideas

  2.1 - Map downloading
    Some maps are just too big to download, so imagine you can tipe in a number of KiB you want to download as a
    maximum. So e.g. everything above 500 KiB will kick you with the message "The map is too big!".

  2.2 - Skin downloading
    Many players use non-standard skins ingame. To see them, too you could add a box that you can tick to download
    all player skins.

3 - Map Ideas (hehe)

  3.1 - New layers
    Many players are asking about physics and so on. So what about a physics layer, wich includes water and ice
    tiles?
    And here is (not) a (good) idea: Zone layers. With zone, i mean team zones. In a blue zone, only blues can attack
    and hook players, and otherwise in red zones. This would be good against Spawn-killing. (And only good, too, if
    the flag is outside of it. Far away. Even not in sight! Even.. Argh, stop that.)
    And another layer: Sound layers! Some players said that maps would be more nice if it had got sounds.
    So for example, you can add sounds to a sound layer, like images to an image layer. (Of course, they have to be
    embedded, or rigth ingame, so you don't have to download it.)
    If one tile is on the screen, it starts to fade in and fade out if it leaves the screen. (Loops and so on should be
    some options there) Example

4 - Other Ideas

  4.1 - Friends
    What do I have to say? You can add friends and so on. It would be easier to follow them.

  4.2 - Downloading demos ingame?
    Think about this! You can upload your demos ingame and download them (optional with the map) to watch them.

I hope this is allowed. Just think about it. If you don't like it, don't think about it!
(Sorry for my way how I'm writing. 1st I'm german. 2nd I'm listening to "Always Look On The Bright Sight Of Life", that song makes me kind of high.

I think that it's a great idea to add a button for the map editor, lots of new players have to ask. (or check the faq)

News and skin downloading are the best. most of other ideas are useless (IMHO). Also friends system will require registering...

I have ideas too.
1. Create a tileset that does not operate the buttons "WASD", but the mouse works. And vice versa.
2. In CTF, Blue players see red names of players, and vice versa. I would like to propose that the enemy team does not show the names of the other team.

1.1: Yes, it should be nice. I agree with you very much of TeeWorlds players can't know the TeeWorlds.com server, and in-game news system can help them.
1.2: Hmm... When somebody want to create a map, he must read any manual here, enter into the editor can't help them.
***
2.1: Its excellent idea. I f*** all servers which host map more than 500 kB, there are only images on background ( this is not about all maps, e.g. roma is very nice and its big )
2.2: You must not see players skin for play TeeWorlds. I would not use it -> just say no.
***
3.1: Zone layers: YES | Sound layers: NO. This has been already discussed -> how somebody say:

TeeWorlds is not sound sharing server

and do you know the size of music? E.g. MP3? or WAW?
****
4. Other ideas -- Friends - yes. Just add your clan members into the buddy list and game shows you where are them, but this requires registration. | Demos ingame - no. Demos are too big.

Goodbye all. Account inactive since March 2011.

Won't comment these things per item, but most of these things are planed since way back. They are not done however due to time constraints and more important stuff to fix.

Like the spongebob_fun etc maps?
And I think a list of server-exceptions would be nice, so you can play on servers with big maps, too. You can enter the IP or the name of the server (or parts of it) and the maps will be downloaded, though. (Did I use "though", correctly?)

P.S.: I corrected some grammar mistakes. It was about 2am so I was tired.. Btw.. Why the hell did I tipe "gould" instead of "good"?! <_<

This. My community is raging due to the fact that we all have to create our own community skinpack and always have to update it and stuff... that is without considering that other player that dont know about the pack will see us with default skin...
we download maps on connection of servers
why not skins.

i think some of them have potential only thing i really regret is skindownloading

Every time i join a newserver i have to download lots of useless skins most of them suck anyway. This feature should be optional player s who think the same way.
