Sensor Cyborg and fixing arty friendly fire issues.

I have always said and will say again: Fully scriptable/modable UI system, a lot of failings start with the UI, a lot of things can't be quickly implemented because of difficulties modifying the current UI
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

I've add that fix, Rommel.
Anyway, first 5 pages (that's 9 months of history!) of forum is here (mainly, excluding non-suggestion, or already fully implemented things).
I may do up to 10-15 pages, but probably a bit later.

P.S. We can do sort of voting here (people will vote for and against some suggestions)
and a "Will do!" list, when somebody will take some suggestion as a task.
I will try to keep the list updated with this votes and downvotes and promises to do, next to each suggestion.

Anonim17465:

Please move this subject viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11398 to the "Probably yes section" or the "Most likely yes section" because many humans favored it. Can you please respond to that post?

Okay, moved, and I put your nickname in green to show that some people like it =)

P.S. "most likely yes section" is about stuff that admins like or approved(there is link from devs). Not just what people like.

Hello.

I think this item should be removed from list because we have only two component in structure design and this is not enough.
I had tried to make demo-realisation for this idea and in result my demo-realisation was not liked by people.
See discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8927&start=135#p99877

- this idea must be implemented. We really need this. This is vital for tournaments and other events.

Unfortunatelly, I can't edit first topic any more... Probably there is some restriction on this forum, that do not allow me to edit it now...

Now I can. probably I forgot to login or something.

Will be updated in 30m.
I will not remove anything from this list, at least to show to other people that some suggestions aren't any good.
But I will put your name in green or red pink next to any suggestion to indicate how much people do like\dislike it.

Please add this topic viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11507 and move this post viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11531 to the "Probably yes section" or the "Most likely yes section" because certain people prefer it.

Also, add my username next to all of the subjects that are mine in the "Probably yes section" and the "Most likely yes section".

Here's something, that bugs me alot...
Reimplementing CTRL for regrouping (1.10 behaviour): viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5780

Interestingly in the first 1.10 opensource release that can be found Aubergines WZpedia it still is working, so it had been removed somewhere later, acording to cybersphinx here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5780#p61353

Would be nice, to see it back there... ;)

Another suggestion would be on the graphics:

Add some sort of heat distortion effect, where fire is used. On flamers and plasmite bombs for example. Just a quick idea, I had playing yesterday. As the game is quite effects free, it would be also a nice addition. I don't know if the engine has a way to do it, but hey... :D

Make a topic with this problem. It is a hard problem. I agree. Must be changed.
In case the WZ-game ends in a draw , the game winner will be determined by penalty shoot-out.
