Title: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Keron Cyst on August 25, 2006, 02:20:23 pm
If you place a MediKit, GrenadeKit, Bulletproof Vest, etc. high up, just like a soldat spawn point, it should float down slowly on its own parachute. ;D

EDIT I'VE SERIOUSLY NEVER PLAYED WORMS

Kind of like in Worms: Armageddon.

I likey the idea.

Also, the kits should make a distinctive sound when they spawn. Kind of like the utility crates from Worms ;D

Really? Never played the game.

I just thought this would be useful for cool recorded movies. Right in the last moment of defending Bravo base from the Alpha infiltrators, you're down to 5% health... and a MediKit drifts from the heavens~ :D

That would be a sweet addition and entirely possible.  Like in worms, the crate would only spawn a parachute if it was a certain distance above the ground.  Genius.  XD

You guyz are coming out ideas from Worms!

I love this idea. But what color should the parachutes be? Maybe green for nades, and white + red for healthpacks.

green for normal nades, yellow for clusters, red-white for meds, red for zerker,  blue-white for pred, and orange for flame god.(if i forgot any powerups, please speak up) Just an idea.

I suggested this and I've never played Worms... ever, seriously (the closest I've gotten to it is Liero, and that's a real-time variant of it)
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Svirin Kerath on August 25, 2006, 11:15:18 pm
totally simple and rockin' idea. =3
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Hootie hoo on August 25, 2006, 11:23:58 pm
I think it's a good idea.
PARACHUTES FTW LOL
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: jettlarue on August 25, 2006, 11:30:25 pm
i like this idea, make the parachutes just a image so it can be modded :) ...and this would be cooler than just regular falling imo.

YES, WIN
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: King Ramsy on August 26, 2006, 12:52:54 am
That sounds cool, except I'm just worried it would come down too slow. Still want it though. ;D
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Toumaz on August 26, 2006, 01:03:07 am
I think this idea has been suggested before, and I like it a LOT. The only bad thing is perhaps that this would need more packets to be sent with the 'chute data. But I guess some things are worth it!
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: homerofgods on October 19, 2008, 05:56:11 pm
in that case I say: 2 types of HP. 1 that is normal. and 1 with parachute
so we don't get parachutes on those spawning on the ground.
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Espadon on October 19, 2008, 06:17:42 pm
You don't get parachutes when you're spawning on the ground though, so I think we won't need 2 different types. F11 though, there are a lot of other features and stuff that should go first.
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: mar77a on October 19, 2008, 07:18:46 pm
.... not to mention chutes are the buggiest looking crap on soldat (right after nades & bullets).
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Bolt on October 19, 2008, 10:46:53 pm
I thought you meant a crate that when you pick up you'd get a parachute which you can execute with a button or something :D

Then I read the post. Also a cool idea but like Toumaz said, more packets, and what would be the point in the end?
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: croat1gamer on October 20, 2008, 08:20:45 am
id like to see parachutes in realistic, would help alot with enormous drops, and jets would be very little or nothing f12
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: KYnetiK on October 20, 2008, 09:13:50 am
I think it would give Soldat a nice touch. Would be excellent for modes like TW and Mission mod.
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Decaying Soldat on October 20, 2008, 09:29:30 am
Suggested before, turned down.

I won't reject it, doesn't seem to affect gameplay too much, and sounds cool. However, see if the Soldat develop team has time, coz this isn't necessary. So f13 for me.
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Gotfryd on October 21, 2008, 02:22:12 pm
I think that since this suggestion was already added to public demands (years ago)
Kit Parachutes (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=4378.0); Keron Cyst (GrenadeKits, MediKits, and bonuses drift down on parachutes if spawning from a high altitude, like soldaten)
so it is known that this idea is supported, there is no point in posting things like "F12, I support".
Of course posting something innovative in old topics is another thing.

great idea! but useful only for realistic mode  :|

Really a great idea, hopefully it will be added to future soldat releases.
Parachutes for teh win!

Great idea, love it.

Post by: LeetFidle on February 15, 2009, 09:51:13 pm
For some reason when i first read this, i thought of Parachute Kits(that you can pick up). that would be cool too...like have a kit at the top of a ledge, then float down to attack enemies in surprise.
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Mastadi on February 20, 2009, 04:59:21 am
YES, WIN

@up
what's the point if you got jet boots? It would only ever be useful in some maps on realistic ;/

biege maybe,

awesome idea, when i looked at the description i thought you meant a kit that gave you a parachute. lol
Title: Re: Kit Parachutes
Post by: Lt. Sprizz on March 21, 2009, 09:32:07 pm
I like this idea a lot. Also, I think it would be made even more dramatic if the kits kind of drifted, like left or right as they fell, so if someone was pinned down from enemy fire in a large bare ravine, and a medikit floats down and flies over the player's head, and if they jump at the right time they can catch it, or if they miss it, it lands right in the middle of the enemy fire.

F12.

Love it cause it's simple.  Probably easier to implement than all the other suggestions.
Put up a poll for consideration?
