Alright this isn't really a necessity, but i would like to see the customization option of giving your guys facial covers, like a gas mask or a shee mog(is that how u spell it?) or a fighter pilot helmet. it would be sweet in the sense that clans could then have matching faces and thing like that. also, maybe just the option to add like a colored vest or backpackk to your guy would be cool. just thinking about it and thought i would get other people's opinions...
-
As a gas mask enthusiast, I wholeheartedly support this.
That being said, MM once stated that there won't be any additional customization features... but with new coders, who knows?
-
General attitude torwards suggestions like this is its a good idea, but when there are all kinds of bugs and stuff to be fixed, its probably not going to happen.
-
F12.
Make it an additional option for registered users, so that more people will register, I really can't believe MM wants more people to register when the benifits are outragously low.
-
Personally I think when it comes to player customisation thingies like this, we need dropdown boxes per section as opposed to bullets.
So you would have a gostek folder for hair, face, chest etc. Then when you go to face options, select gasmask out of the face dropdown box.
Physical bodypart gosteks would remain the same. The gfx for these remain static as normal.
Now the problem is that you cant add more stuff into those folders (each player needs the same files in a server for others to see your custom gosteks). So the alternative is to have as many gfx in these gostek folders as possible in the first place [on the install].
So /face/ <blank>, gasmask, ninja, jason hockeymask, splitter paint, sunnies, goggles, beard. Just a gostek the size of the head graphic that is overlayed on top of the head.
/chest/ <blank>, vest (not kevlar), backpack, bulletbelt, space invader. Just a gostek aroughly the size of the torso graphic that is overlayed on top.
Chest is a bit unnecessary, but interesting.
Were not talking bout difficult stuff, and it means that with little more content, players feel a bit more satisfied. Makes your avatar a bit more unique, and can be fun when it comes to modding.
Could even make such Soldat 'avatar' options reg only.
-
F12. I'd like to see beard also.
Make it an additional option for registered users, so that more people will register, I really can't believe MM wants more people to register when the benifits are outragously low.
And that's also a good idea.
Can you add a poll? Maybe if there would be a lot of positive votes in poll it would convince developers.
-
I doubt polls help convince developers, as they are only supposed to consider it if -about- 90% or more are for it, negating the need for a poll, not that it doesn't help, particularly with more than two sides or views to discuss.
Still, this could be modded (by turning the Hat into a Gas mask is possible I believe? or even the helmet) but it would be real nice to see more customization features. But don't give it all to the registered users.. should leave more functional items for them imo, and not to let it turn out like combat arms :)
-
I doubt polls help convince developers
What about a poll with 94 votes for yes and 18 votes for no? :) Even if this isn't 90% support, the fact that almost one hundred users voted for yes would be impressive and I think devs would consider implementing such idea :)
In general there are usually more votes in a poll than posts in the thread containing that poll, so polls are more precise.
-
F12, very interesting and I support this idea 100%. Also maybe Dark Glasses (Night-Vision Goggles?), belts or Thieve/Robber Balaclavers could also be implemented.
-
That being said, MM once stated that there won't be any additional customization features... but with new coders, who knows?
Good point. Everybody's wanted all kinds of extra customization since Soldat has been around at all, and MM wouldn't budge, though I can't say I blame him. Supposedly, the gostek programming is just extremely inefficient to try to modify, but maybe there's a chance now that it's a multi-man project. Maybe.
If so, heck, I'm always a big fan of customization, so I'll support this.
-
mmm, it's not a bad idea, but I just think Soldat should be more gameplay-based then the looks of the men...
Still, I support for the heck of it. Would be pretty cool.
F12
-
a 5pixel gasmask?
it would e pretty cool, but isn't it a bit too small for additions like these?
-
Where's the poll?
Anyway, I'd say its a F12. I agree that the feature is pretty useless in the sense that it is only for appearance and modding can be done, but I'd still support greater variety.
-
Nothing special, but makes the game cooler. Not much time needed making it either, so f12. Though in the mean time we can do it with modding.
-
F12.
Make it an additional option for registered users, so that more people will register, I really can't believe MM wants more people to register when the benifits are outragously low.
The point of registering is (and always has been) to support the game. It used to be that the only benefits of registering were that you were able to change the color of your jet flames... you don't really think MM is stupid enough to expect people to pay $9 for that, do you?
The little things that have been added here and there over the past few years as benefits to registered players are intended to allow those people who registered to customize their game, they're not intended to be the driving force behind registration.
-
i'd like some other thing, like bandanas or like that...
-
F12. Want more to mod 'cause for now it bored me a bit :).
-
I'd like to have more options of my appearance in soldat. F12

That's why I registered, but what I'M saying is that he can't expect to get anymore than fanboys (like me) that play the game every single day (like me), to register, the only way HE'S gonna get the money he wants is to add more features for registered users, he put up a poll asking people if they registered yet or something, he can't expect to get lots of people if he doesn't give benifits, over 30% (38) people said that they didnt see enough benifits, that's what is leading in that poll...
Now, almost every single person in the thread said F12, that's more than 90%...
-

Yeah, if within next few days there will be no one against this, we should add this idea to public demands.
-
Can someone please add a poll for this idea, or else it won't be implemented. That is what Echo_trail told me. So could someone do that for me. Thanks.
-
scarface09 - poll can be added by topic's creator or by a moderator.
-
yea thats why i asked in the first place...
-
u cant put a poll on anymore in this new board >.> also the auto-merger is missing
-

Do you mean whole Soldatforums 2.0 or Game Improvements / Suggestions board only?
-
Sounds like it would be a nice idea. Would be cool!
-

I dunno, this is the only board I've posted in since 2.0 came out :P
-
Hmm...
On Forum News and Support I have posted a topic with a poll without problems.
Here I don't remember whether I started any thread with poll after 2.0... And I cannot check if I can add a poll to a topic now, because all my topics have polls already :)
-
Fixed for your enjoyment ;)
-
Thanks!
Hooray for echo_trail! Praise him with great praise!
-
yeah i like the idea i made a biker/paintball helmet for myself, now my dude has a cooler helmet thatn normal. i could post some pictures if you want to
-
Gas masks aren't really turning me on, but I support the idea of new customizations. F12!
-

Yeah, I'd gladly see them. But post them rather in Mod&Modmaking section.
-
Should this be added to the public demands list?? Looks like a lot of people wanted this idea.
-
Thx echo-trail ;D
-
I agree that it would be a great addition.
The options we have right now do help a lot in making your character more unique, but it isn't enough. Looking forward to new customisation features.
-
Unless there will be a smoke bomb, I will go for f11. Sorry.
-
I don't like this idea. it's unnesecary none the less.
-
I wouldnt agree for gas mask but I ''(f12, f12 and f12!!!)" for new customizations! it will be rly nice if MM put new accessories!
-
I would rather have the bugs ironed out first but i think that this is a welcome feature. As STM1993 said it would be good to have some variation.
-
moar customizable options means moar fun! F12!
-
I always thought this would be a cool option to have. F12
-
f12. i dont understand why people are against it, it will improve the game in a way that doesnt affect it
-
The more variation the better :)
F12
-
Can't you jsut modify the "helm/helm2" int eh Gosteks folder to make your desired helmet?
-
because the others wont see that, and with this one it will be more viewable gostaks at normal soldat, without gostek mods
-
I support this for all registered users. There should also be a few customizable body trinkets too.
It would give the un-registered users some inspiration to purchase the Soldat-Reg.

How about being able to have completly custom gostek, and when entering a server, every player "downloads" your images automatically. And to prevent huge massive amount of download. Add a size limit. But eh, I do sincerely doubt this would happen
[/offtopic]
I think this is a good idea, more variation and less of "Omg you look like me!" That I get very often.
-
F12 TILL MY FINGER FALLS OFF
-
F12. For gods sake or even better gods alcoholic drinks.
-
Isn't that called multi-threading + topic revive? At least close the other one thread (this new one as this is way better).
Back on topic: F12. I like the overall idea.
-
same here, ive always wanted more modding options rather than the usual -hair 1, 2, 3, 4, morda, kap and helm.It would also be a great way to showcase the forums. Like customized 'SF Gosteks'.
Im sure this has been suggested before, there should also be a temporary file feature, where the downloaded gosteks are moved to a temp file, and removed once soldat is closed.
-
The only reason to why I think people would be against it in the first place is that perhaps in the beginning everyone would start to put on that accessory. But the flaw in that plan is that people will get tired of looking like everyone else, and so people will convert back to the hat or dredlock style.
I'm for it :D.
-
And then someone mods it.
Oh cmon guys, really if you really want them I'll make them as a mod, but I think it's not necessary to put them as origial thing to customize
-
Aw come on sky...You know that the SF community sums up to about a max of (40% ?) of the entire soldat community, and even so, the people here want their gostek to be shown not only to themselves but to others, just as Taunts are part of the way you express yourself on soldat so is one's gostek. F12 with a cherry on top.
-
I thought the idea was to add bad gas and the ability to have gas masks to protect yourself, and i was about to hella f11 that, until I read its just a customization of looks. that's an f12 then ;)
-
What if the gas masks went a step further and became functional? What if you could shoot gass grenades or something along those lines that slow characters down or some other ailment and the only way to prevent it is to pick up a gas mask and put it on. Make it so it will only last a certain amount of time. Now, not only will you need to kill and be killed but you need to prepare and be ready for the gas. I think the gas mask thing is an awesome idea. ;D
-
Nope, gas grenades will never( or at least in the near future ) be implemented
because-

→ (http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/766/emotsirenta8.gif)NEW WEAPONS(http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/766/emotsirenta8.gif) This would invite even more weapon-balance issues, disrupt Soldat's file layout, mess up functionality of old mods, etc. Besides, you can already edit weapons.ini ;)
Please, read the stickies before even thinking of suggesting such stuff.
And IMO, adding gas grenades will just mess-up the whole aim for soldat- which is to provide a fun, simple and classic way of gaming.
I can't see soldat being like a 'normal' fps shooter where theres lots of 'extra' gadgets involved like said smokes, flash-bangs , C4 timed charges etc, etc- whichs makes it more complicated than it supposed to be.
So yeah, F12 for gas masks JUST for looks. F11 for gas masks for smokes and what have you.
-
Wow just got back on the forums after like a year of never getting on here, just to post a problem I've been having, and I happen to see that this topic is still getting posted on.
For love of God, listen to your servants, MM! More customization pleeeeease!
-
You seem to need some updates on the situation around here, too, Lt. Sprizz. EnEsCe is working on Soldat now, not MM. No use pleading to him for the changes when he isn't going to care. :S
-
Seriously? Well, just take my post and switch it to EnEsCe.
-
interesting, but if you want to push for a visual change, ask for the obvious one first --> female characters / player models! (Then, along the way, casually show your desire for a gas mask...)

Totally true. You got a point.
