mandown has just obsoleted sof2

• create entities that we always thought should be there
Such as? -- ive got a list :)

• do things in sof2 that we always wanted
Refer previous -- basically scripting and usable triggers/items will let us create more scenarios that arent possible now. so for example we could make a building where the power can get switched off and you use nightvision, or make an md3 model of a chopper fly around over the map using .roff, cutscenes when a gametype goal is acheived, press a button to drain some water, all kinds of stuff like that.

...

heres the list i made


usekey

usable doors, buttons & triggers

usable remote surveillance cameras, and scripted camera control

toggleable lights (allow switching a light entity on and off)

scripting & roff (this may work to some extent -- havent checked)

weather effects (snow & rain)

emplaced guns and oicw

driveable vehicles would kickass on terrain maps

environmental sound effects

gibbable corpses

a special clip brush that will block spectators from going into a certain area. (would make maps look less cheesy so they cant fly into an area and get the HOM effect)

can we start making this stuff available? This is some awesome news!!!

Ahh.. I see it.. next weekend.

Someone is about to become a hero with all this great stuff.

PLEASE keep us informed so that we can make sure everyone has the oporunity to contribute or play.

I still can't get over how great this is. :biggrin:

did you try it yet foyle? the doors work nicely -- even though i knew they would be there and what they would do when i ran the map i was fascinated to find them lol

I haven't tried them yet. I went to the site and noticed that the release was slated for next weekend. I was going to wait for that.

nahh you dont need to wait, we get to test -- check your mail its in there now.

This is great.

I have a few ideas to impliment some of these to make better maps.

Keep up the great work.

Cheers

My right arm/elbow has been hurting me terribly lately, so I haven't been around the computer as much or been able to work on my map. And now THIS.

Stupid human body -- anyone know where I can get hooked up with some quality cyborg parts?

Hey N.. these links might help you out:

My shoulder is giving me the pain.. too much mouse activity everyday (no, I am not talking about my manlyness). My chiropracter's solution, buy a new office chair with adjustable everything.

Or perhaps just being a disembodied brain in a jar that interfaces directly with the keyboard/mouse would be a good idea? I bet that'd work great for sniping...

:ohwell:

This poo-poo just pisses me off, it's like having tennis elbow without playing tennis -- I'm beginning to think it's my desk at work. POS. Need a new one with a higher keyboard/mouse tray. Otherwise...well...I might have to give this poo-poo up, as my time on the computer will have to be drastically cut back to avoid long term injury. :(
