polygons and effects

[cheezy towers]

Water porygons, with swimming and diving animations for players and bots. Additional status effects such as freezing, paralysis, poisoning, and confusion that can be added to weapons or enviroment

Is the game really that fragile? I modded and hacked it a number of times and it still works fine

I would hate maps with polygons that freeze/paralyze/poison/confuse me..
They would be really annoying..

Really annoying indeed. i don't want my fav 2d side scroller shooter turn into an RPG fest with conditions- it just makes it NOT soldat.

Sounds like BS in terms of soldat.

It doesn't have to be on everything you know. For polygons, they're just like the lava and regenerative ones, you only have a few of them in selective places. For weapons, they can just replace the flamethrower, the cluster grenades can be replaced with ones that can stun opponents for a few seconds

Look who suggested that: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=37129.msg450918#msg450918

Please, for gods sake, read the rules and think if the suggestions sound good.

2Shard. I dont think by "hacked" he meant cheating. He probably meant modifying Soldat for modding purposes.

But either way.. I get the impression you've played too many RPGs, cheezy towers. Freezing, paralysis, poisoning, etc - they aren't that useful in Soldat and only add unnecessary complexity to the game.
Water doesn't sound too bad (when someone mentions liquids and soldat - It immediately reminds me of games like Quake - they have liquids on some maps, but gameplay is still dead-simple), but it would involve significant changes to Soldat code.

If you hacked Soldat - you should understand that adding things like you suggested isn't as easy as you think.

Modifying the binary is against the EULA.

[cheezy towers]

Sorry guys, I didn't mean hack as in modifying the game code, I just meant changing the sprites, player animations, bot files, and weapon files

I'm sorry for my mistake

[Shard]

Lol you had me going. I think due to the fast pace, water polys would be more for asthetics really?

[croat1gamer]

Shard, thought ever of semi transparent polies/scenery?

[Blue-ninja]

Yes, but semi-transparent polygons/scenery won't affect the soldat gosteks like cheezy towers wanted.

if gravity areas were implemented, you could make specific spots on the map have less grav. pull = water. Though I don't know if these areas can, in general, exist.
the status effects can be emulated via scripting
