Dunno if this is tacked down yet, but if you gauntlet a bot (enemy), you still recieve a Humilation medal. I`m not sure if you want to keep this or not, but throwing it in just in case. It would also be nice to have a message appearing if you don`t have the required key to open the door. It would make it more clear to the player that he was missing the key. Good job. |

What's exactly the reason why there is no hud or crosshair ? Can I control bots so they won't jump or run? |

Yeah I noticed that the medal awards get kind of annoying, especially when gunning down hordes of enemies and the excellent award just keeps coming. So I removed all awards for single player mode. |

This is something that could easily be changed by adding new bots with different behaviours to the bot list with the Bot Maker of yours. Of course it won't address the behaviour in general, but at least jumping and running could be fixed. |

About bots - in lower skill modes they tend to not jump or even run (play with Crash on q3dm0 on lowest skill level). Maybe you could use that, and look into bot behaviour files to see why they don't do some things in lower skill levels. I remember there were bot files defining how to behave and what are they weapon preferances. Also for the future - some kind of bot navigation system would be great . The best scenario would be if we had new entity (or mybe even use info_bot_roam) with which we could set up simple paths and routes for bots navigation. Also, there should be a sound when key_entity is used. |

I have integrated debris in my mod. works well. But i donĀ“t have the smoke trails. Is this set by the mapper in Radiant? And why you have coded your breakable without launching something? This would be easier as doing the trigger thing with the debrisemitter. |

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but where are your G_BreakGlass, G_BREAKWOOD and G_BREAKMETAL functions implemented? Also, I see my func_breakable code is in there. Seems identical to what I have except for calls to the above methods in g_combat.c, but I'm not sure they're related? |

Thanks a lot sir. It was basically just this bit of code I needed: Code: // Get the center of the glass VectorSubtract(ent->r.maxs, ent->r.mins, size); VectorScale(size, 0.5, size); vectorAdd(ent->r.mins, size, center); Now there's no longer need for a target_debrisemitter for func_breakable. I'll leave the target_debrisemitter in there though. |

Post subject: | Re: Here's a wild idea: EntityPlus |
*bumping the thread with a new idea you'll might shake your heads over* In the last time I played Bulletstorm and Borderlands quite a lot. Then I had one of these nostalgic moments and fired up Call of Duty 1. I loaded the last savegame and was right behind a knee-high wall, two foot soldiers and an MG shooting at me. I switched from crouching to standing, was hit, tried to hit the MG myself, failed, switched to crouching, waited for some seconds and tried it again. And I waited for my health to refill. Until I noticed that small bar that had to be green but had changed to dark yellow in the meantime. Right! There was an era of health pickups. Seems I'd forgot that. After picking off some more enemies (and enyoing the fact that I can understand what both parties yell - being German is really useful sometimes) I found this old energy system slowed down the game quite a lot. There's not so much freedom to try out things. It's always the same F5-try-fail-F9 procedure. If you play a game with energy regeneration on hard difficulties, there's still enough room to fail, but if you don't die, you look for cover, think about why your way of handling the situation was stupid and try it another way. I know that the entire Quake series uses the old health system. And it's not that I didn't like it when I played the games. But I've come quite used to the health regeneration systems new games have and thought about how it would fit a Quake 3 single player campaign. If this campaign will really exist some day - and I want to contribute at least one level to it, that's for sure - health regeneration could, in my eyes, open the gates for big fights with many foes instead of the old "jeez, these five guys were really mean - where can I get some health now?" question. What do you think about it? Yes? No? Try it out? Make it optional and let the mapping guys put health pickups everywhere in their maps but add an option to the menu to let the player decide if he wants to use them or let them disappear and use regeneration instead? Or ban my acount for this ignominious thought of adding health regeneration to a Quake game? |

Wow! THAT was a bit manic! I've, actually seen this question come up before. My own opinion, is to not mess with the health regen at all. I'm with the whole "yer gonna get better" at the game this way. There's still one or two games I never finished because I cannot get past a point without dying. Just my two bits, yah? |

I personally hate the health regen system. There's no sense of danger with it. You don't actually have to think about the cons of jumping in to a fight or choosing to avoid it. All you have to do is hide behind a cardboard box for a couple seconds and jump back in. Health pickups actually require you to manage your health and assess the situation instead of just blindly running in rambo style and spraying bullets at enemies while you take shells from tanks, lasers from alien spaceships, and get your face charred from several flamethrowers (but its cool, just hide behind some drying laundry, you'll heal in no time) |

Another point I disagree with - giving the player a wide range of choices on how he'd like to experience a game. A game designer's job is to design the game to provide a specific experience. Leaving it up to the player is lazy and irresponsible. You really shoot yourself in the foot when you try to play it safe and please everybody by giving them a choice of several mediocre directions rather than sticking to one and providing a single mind-blowing ass-kicking experience. Might as well be like "well, lets let them choose if they want to play this game as a side-scrolling platformer or an FPS." Developers need to have the balls to settle on a direction and to cut out options (even if they're great ones) that don't quite fit well with the experience they want delivered to the player imo. |

Post subject: | Re: Here's a wild idea: EntityPlus |
Really good arguments. The missing feeling of danger mentioned by Silicone_Milk is why I thought "IF the mod will have the system available, everything else than the hardest difficulty is beyond question for me". Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of player who wants to win all of the time, that's boring and equals playing in God mode. I agree that health regeneration in general is too fast in modern games. But since I posted the question, I thought about it again, read all of your statements and think, you're right about this. Especially this Silicone_Milk wrote: A game designer's job is to design the game to provide a specific experience. Leaving it up to the player is lazy and irresponsible is something that, I have to admit, I didn't think about. Serious Sam is the living example of a shooter with too many enemies to get a foot on the ground and the old health system at the same time. And it works. --- Another thing came to my mind, concerning health. From time to time, you'll encounter passages in games where you have to try not to fall down abysses and work your way from the top to the bottom of a pit. It's impossible to make such a level with the current health system, as dropping down from a high position will always just deal 10 damage to the player. Nobody would take the long way down if he can jump down the entire 400m pit without dying. Is this something that should be changed or does the player benefit from it in your eyes? |

Regenerative health doesn't work in Q3 (or entityplus for that matter). It doesn't work with the style of gameplay Quake games offer, both SP and MP. Oh, and taking on 12 cannonfodder bots at once is fun. Trust me, I know, and soon you will too ;-) As for falling dmg, have to look into that. In the meantime, there's always trigger_hurt for preventing shortcuts into abysses. |

Post subject: | Re: Here's a wild idea: EntityPlus |
Maybe this is a bit an utopian idea about the regen system: Only the first difficulty level has health regen but as many enemies as the second. The second difficulty lvl has no health regen but as many enemies as the first. And in the third you don't have health regen, more enemies and even no crosshair. Maybe the player is willing to learn in the first two difficulty lvls how to deal with the different situtations and the geometry of the level and using it in the third. Also a possibility is to add awards for each difficulty... For me the 100% are a must in a game I like. Hm... The no crosshair (I know many here don't like the game): In CoD6 there is a mission in the single player campaign in which a EMP bomb detonates. Therefore you can't use the laser pointer on your gun anymore and need to get across the rest of the mission without cross and laser. It still works extremely well, because you learned how to deal with the weapons and the center of the screen in the missions before... My 2 cents. |

Don't alter the fall damage too much, remember that you still might wanna rocket jump (miss) and also when you land from JPs, etc. Uh, I don't think it's a vise idea to alter the health system. It's still Quake - and today it could be considered a strong feature to have health pickups. |

Post subject: | Re: Here's a wild idea: EntityPlus |
Yup, I'm not too fond about altering the health system either. As for falling damage, maybe it should scale differently or get rid of the 10 health cap. Wouldn't want to get 50 damage for jumping off a doorstop. |
Author: | Hipshot [ 05-08-2011 02:52 AM ] |
Post subject: | Re: Here's a wild idea: EntityPlus |
Maybe the cap could be extended to 50 or 75 instead of 10, that way you will feel the damage more when you fall longer. If one really want to restrict the player, lava or whatever should be used. |

Just uploaded vesrsion 0.5.1 of the mod to Google Code. I actually uploaded 0.5 yesterday but noticed there was a problem with some missing assets, but before I could fix it some people had already downloaded, so the 0.5.1 is the one you need. Here's the list of changes since 0.4:
It's basically some fixes and tweaks. No real big new features. However, there's two interesting things. First, there's a manual. I quickly whipped up a document that describes all of the new features and things you need to know to start creating levels for EntityPlus. It's a PDF located in the "docs" folder. The second is the new example map. It's a redesigned version of an old classic that you'll instantly recognize. I've reworked it into a single player experience. It features enemies, lock and key, breakable walls, objectives, relatively complex trigger systems, alarms, lighting effects and an end-game cinematic. Double click the "entityplus.bat" file that comes with the package and enjoy https://code.google.com/p/entityplus/downloads/list |
