[ Closed ] [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version (Page 28 of 60)

Is it possible to make an Inkscape extension for making teeworlds maps? Besides teeworlds there is another open source game that I play called X-Moto. They made an extension for Inkscape called Inksmoto and make levels using it.

So I was just asking is this possible with teeworlds? Perhaps map making would be easier with it?

Yea it's better cuz it's integrated. But I thought that with it it would open new doors and possibilities. (:

Addind an auto weapons changing system would create new issues:
- You lose perfect control about YOUR tee (thought i hate "Change weapons on pick up" either)
- An auto system isn't able to switch to the best weapon for the situation (f.e.: You hook your enemy close to you to kill him with shotgun, you run out of ammo and the auto system changes to grenade launcher instead of hammer).
Means your "skill" will get limited and only players who disable it can gain and use the full power of all weapons.

You can simply switch the weapons with the keys 1,2,3,4,5 (default). It can't be more easy, can it? And i think it isn't a "trick" to use keys :\

As long as the game wasnt teeworlds i doubt you can compare it. Teeworlds isnt any copied sh*t, it is individual. Means that useless stuff, that works with other game, doesnt have to work here.

I still dont see any reason to implement more and more useless options into a game following the KISS principle.
Thought, just few weeks ago some1 criticized that some options in teeworlds would slow down the gain of skills.

If you can count to 10 or if you are able to look at the top left of your screen, you will see when you run out of ammo. Combined with the possibility to push buttons (1-5) you should be able to deal damage even when your current weapon runs out of ammo.
But: When you push the keys instead of any auto system, you can even decide which weapon will fits best (cool!)

Btw: You criticize that pushing 5 keys is too difficult, however you want to have more confusing options you have to deal with.

Invalid logic. Teeworlds isn't copied, but can be copied. Dinosmash uses Teeworlds engine, and I even developed a Teeworlds mod so it looks and sounds like TW. It is an extremely similar game. It switches to pistol when you run out of ammo, which is a nice game feature.

This would add no extra hardship for people that like it the way it is. That whole argument is invalid logic. Extra options don't hurt anybody if you don't have to even look at them.

People shouldn't judge what will gain or lose skills, that is irrelevant. It's not up to others to make me gain skills. Skills is according to the rules of the game, you adapt. Irrelevant topic to this idea.

Invalid logic. Somehow, switching to the right weapon with a key press in less than half a second during intense combat trying to outmaneuver a very smart opponent is like counting to ten. If that were true, everyone would be pro. I get the feeling old-timers feel threatened by new features, and so throw out these weird arguments. This feature is really nothing new, it is the exact same logic of switching weapons on pickup. In fact they could be combined to one option, adding no new settings.

See above. But it is a very simple option, somehow you tell me 5 keys are simple, but auto-switching is too complicated.  That logic doesn't even follow. If 5 keys is simple, auto-switching is even simpler.

Irrelevant topic. Criticizing a particular style of game play as unacceptable to you has nothign to do with the benefits of adding a feature. I could argue that the feature doesn't just benefit spammers. I could also argue that spamming is a valid tactic as anything else. But neither of those things even matter.

Broken: you can diesable that by setting the variable cl_prediction to 0. However, your game will probably feel laggy then. The reason for prediction is that the client can make the moves without any lag.

A new suggestion would be auto refresh # of players for highlighted servers.

Maybe useless given that not many servers are full all the time but it could be a feature.

Auto refresh would put too much load for those servers.

Whats stopping teeworlds from having an offline mode?
I'm sure it would be useful for those that want to practice maps on their own with no ping or for those that cannot host servers to create maps.

It wouldn't.

How about removing the chat function in all game modes? AFAI see it's only good for insulting others.

How 'bout adding a new function in the editor?
I'd like to rename the group & the tile-layers :-)
So it would be way easier to organize complex maps.
