[ Closed ] [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version (Page 44 of 60)

Ye you're right but just the current spectating one.
I mean for all, mb bounded to a key.
And not just the current used weapon, all.

So in fact, something like  maSOUD posted.

You can change the entity pictures to whatever you want, AvidTeeworlder, just edit entities.png.

Also I second the healthbar over all tees while spectating. You dont' want to have to cycle constantly thru the tees to see who is winning/weak.

I'm not talking about the pictures of the entities, I'm talking about the game layer side of it. For instance, say for the freeze entity (and all other entities) which are inserted as squares and activated if a tee walks over the square. You instead allow them to also insert triangle shaped entities which can be put into these squares but only activated if they move over the triangle. Better yet don't just have triangles allow the person to specify which part of the square is activatable and which isn't.

The problem with just having squares to make maps with is that a lot of maps show a tile for an entity, be it freeze or hook-able tiles, but the entity doesn't match up with the tiles (rounded corners is the most common example). By allowing any shape it would allow map creators to be a lot more creative (Ramps is one example).

Side Note: Could you add Google Checkout to donations payment options, I don't have a paypal account but I am more than willing to donate.

Okay, so you mean shapes other than squares. In DDRace the freeze diagonal corner graphics are often inaccurate and misleading, which is another reason I like playing with the actual game layer visible.

This would be a big change right up there with moving platforms.

I think that the server admin(s) should be able to disable and enable auto weapon switch when out of ammo. If it is enabled on the server then you can turn it off and on in your settings. If its disabled on the server then you can't toggle automatic weapon switch.

Not that I would EVER have automatic weapon switch on if it were there, but other people might want it.

Yeah, moving platforms sound awesome. You could do it like...

[/1]66 (number of tilespaces to move tiles when 1 tile is steped on)[1]

and like this underscore _  [25]V 2[25/] would move it:
                                       
                                     _   About right here.

And along with the number of spaces to move would be: up: ^ down:V right:> and left:<

I guess that would take putting a text editor in, and that will make the editor less simple. but there are other ways.
Like having enities with a an enity simply put: [1]  you place that on a tile. And then place the matching tile (in this case[1/] where you want the tile you placed [1] on to move to. There are other ways I don't know of, but theese might be two little ways how to make moving tiles. (at least typer and mapper friendly ways) But ofc you would have to have a third tile for the tee to sit on to trigger the moving tile.

The way the respawn is coded is the following, and cannot be modified in the editor:
You respawn as far as possible from any ennemy. A "score" is calculated being the sum of the distances to ennemies, the respawn point with the lowest score "wins".

Yes about the right to left support, that's something I'd like to see happen but I remember asking on IRC and someone (I don't remember who) said it's not planned to be implemented in any near future.

No, I think it's complicated than that.

No.

Why not? -.-

There is a weapon color code at the moment, the five weapons have their own color, which is also the same as the crosshair color. This helps a lot.
