1.7b / 1.8 Wishlist

Post by Onge »

Now don't bother with stupid suggestions like 'go back to 1.6'. After a week or so playing I've adapted to most of the changes but would like to see the following implemented:

- 1 second delay before cam zoom works after the opposition score.
- Bring back crouch (this is being done anyway?).
- Make shot power-up more audible to others.
- Make it so you can't reach the stools in DB-Greenbaize.
- Fix floor lag (Why do we have this? Was something re-coded?)
- Get puddles back in db-November :).
- Fix some issues with Smallcube (ball gets stuck on invisible ledge around the upper perimiter).
- Make a unique catch sound only you hear when you get the ball.

Although I prefer the old Tribun and Smallcube others have redone these maps so that's fine. And I happen to like the changes to Curve and Chill.

So what's on your wishlist?

Thanks for the response...I'd like the catch sound to be really different. If, say, we had the foghorn sound from db-ship when we catch the ball we'd all know about. The sound needs to be more unique and different from the sound you hear when others catch the ball...

he meant only you can hear it
the catch sound is heard by everyone around you, if a guy was right next to you and caught the ball, you couldnt tell :)

From to 2Cool's done list:
The first 0.3 seconds after the ball is shot, it bounces away when it hits a player
Deflections eh? Could be interesting!

One other thing I forgot, why doesn't it never save my shortname settings? Everytime I load DB I have to change it again.

- Fix the scoreboard so it also shows scores

- Mute or MAJORLY lessen noise of crowds

- Make Sprint a LOT shorter: Like it was in 1.6, maybe even shorter....and make jump affect it again........even make it Customizable if possible (but apparently u dont like this)

- make it MUCH more obvious that you are the ball carrier ie. make those yellow/red/blue things circling the ball show up on ur screen (but not too distractive)......something like that. maybe make it so you are the only one that hears the catching sounds also

- Increase volley radius, maybe? it seems a lot lower

- Fix the phsyicsVolume paincausing thing (probably already done)

I like it the way it is now. I already find you have pretty damn long volley radius!

dont know if its been mentioned/fixed/seen before, but timelimits are in seconds on the f2/server display.

Ie: Timelimit 30 seconds (instead of 30 mins)

Two of my wishes can be found in this movie! (have posted it before but meh)

http://astroboy.neorift.net/bugs.avi

1- Prevent ball from going through people (look at the radar!! :mad: )

2- Fix the net. I can't go on top, but I can get stuck under. :rolleyes:




Not in movie wishlist is the ball chargeup sound.. but now I'm kind of getting used to it, so whatever. Maybe a tad louder. If crowd is less loud maybe a louder chargeup sound isn't necessary.

I think zonk was refering to keeper volleys. Something seems to have changed with them in 1.7 making them harder to do when the opposite should be true due to the increased latency....
