Feature Request: Save menu settings / Vehicle upgrade

Post by Seismo »

1. It would be rather convenient to have all made settings in the multiplayer/skirmish menu saved for the next invocation (may be limited to a session or per save button as a profile). Currently everything has to be set again and again (map, computer enemies, build menu, color, etc.) if you start a new game.

2. The vehicle driver are really silly and should get a brainupdate.

3. Vehicles should get a reverse gear (except hover).

4. The specific mass of a vehicle should get a animation upgrade. For e.g. when a heavy laser with phyton body and tracks hit the brake, the vehicle should lean towards its driving direction.

Oh, god, Zarel must be really mad by now. This belongs to Ideas and Suggestions, unless you're developing something already :mad;

This would be interesting if the player could select this option (Toribash has a "Remember Game Rules" option, it's really good), but making this default might not be the best solution.

This is a welcome gift - don't get used to it please :cool:
As for the animations, you might want to search a bit more. I advice you that it will be possible when we have event-triggered animations, but we don't have this ATM.

Welcome to the forums, but please search around for already existing topics, especially recent ones.
And please forgive me if I sound snotty, I just want to make things more effective :rolleyes:

I really don't mind threads posted in the wrong place, but everyone was mostly doing fine, and suddenly, today, we get six suggestion threads in General Development... it was really weird.
