plans for the next release

[chocolatepie33]

Will 2.6 have the new ui and stuff? And a new Gui to work with (Like what Chaze made)?

[arcones]

I don't know about a new GUI, but the UI will be optional on/off as the coding seems a bit harder to learn.

[chocolatepie33]

Well, I'm ready for the challenge

[chocolatepie33]

I don't know if this works now, but with connected maps, can values for items be inherited/brought along/kept the same?
Example:
map 1: I get 5 dollars. (The office, I get my paycheck)
map 2: That 5 dollars comes with me from map 1. (Cashed @ bank)
map 3: I bring 5 dollars along and use it. (Grocery store)
If not, will this come in the future?

EDIT: can there also be a diagonal platform/elevator entity? Like an escalator?

Before we all forget, there's the todolist.txt in the sandbox folder.

Code: Select all

"There is nothing greater than being a hero for a kid"
2.6.0 wishlist/TODO
===================
* Watergun FPS
* New/better UI (currently under consideration upstream)
* simplistic AI for SSP and RPG
* functional weapons for SSP
* "color/rainbow" gun/sprayer
* vertical mapmodel rotation
* race mode
* make texanim scroll through slots, instead of diffuse textures

* sun entity ( must have constant angle all over exposed area(s))
* merge player velocity vectors //this will alter physics in somewhat serious ways

- developer stuff
* let file_io use bitwise flags in place of option strings
* physics flags which determine how a character is treated in physics updates

Things we definitely could use YOUR help with
=============================================
* ensure all available translations are completely up to date
* producing good quality maps for inclusion of the release <-- we can only do so much ^^
* art assets

things we could use help with
=============================
* merge in kartmode with main branch
* unicode support <-- this is a must, we've received interest from a few in asia to do translations for chinese and japanese languages, but we can't support these character sets without utf8 support.
* support for truetype fonts

just give us time :P
====================
* finish up maps; village, mansion, island, etc
* setup masterserver

Future possibilities
====================
Machinima - make it easy for kids to make movies/stories
Alice coding
convert to .map (quake based)
Create a possible -gpas game mode, with geometry modifying tools?
Create a possible -grct game mode, where the player control the player and whacks a banana across a field like a tennis ball.

some of these are done, but others, like the finishing the maps, could be worked on...
