Changeable blood amount
« on: July 26, 2011, 12:30:00 am »
Just came to my mind.. LieroXtreme has this feature aswell and it would be quite hilarious in soldat too! I basically mean that you could change the amount of blood that bleeds off the players when they explode/get hit etc. Just a simple slider in the options menu, that ppl could decide the blood amount from minimal to a complete bloodpath.

Is it serverside or clientside? If server: How about scripting?

At first it sounds like a great server-side option, but at the end of the day it would be rarely useful. Its like giving people the option between an empty wallet or a briefcase full of notes. Who would really have the slider at minimum? How many people would simply slide it to maximum and leave it there? Unless a mod decided to have robots or non-biological characters to play as, it seems rather useless in the grand scheme of things IMO.

I know you love more features, more options and more bugs (eh, ok less bugs) but spamming soldat with tons of new stuff will not help.
Changeable blood amount sounds like a feature we can leave out.

It could be added though (if a dev get bored) but I'd rather add chatMod then more blood :P.

I don't really see much point in this. Instead of letting client/server decide the amount of blood - it should be tweaked to satisfy most people. A complete bloodbath will only be fun for a little while, and then it'll probably just distract people.

However I have to say, Soldat could use a bit more particles on screen in general. Take a look at flamethrower - it's horrid. It doesn't shoot flame, it shoots fireballs. Blood particles and gibs don't stay for long either, so you don't get to enjoy the fireworks for long. IMHO that could use some tweaking.

I don't think we need a changeable blood amount, but maybe a little more blood would look great and I would like to see more flames, too. Those kinds of graphics changes would make the game look better. A massive amount of blood would make it kind of comical.
