If you could make missions in Soldat...

[Anna]

If you could make missions (or levels or dungeons) in Soldat, what kinds of new weapons types, item types and environmental features would you want to have access to?


Examples:

Weapons - melee weapons like swords, or guns that shoot bouncing projectiles

Items - grappling hook/ninja rope to assist the player in getting around the map

Environmental features - things like doors, moving platforms, water (edit: must be interactive)


Don't limit it to 'modern combat' type stuff, I'm also interested in fantasy and sci-fi themed things, or anything that would contribute to making more interesting gameplay.



Weapons

sword
boomerang
BFG
rock hammer, sledge, pick
flail
bee swarm gun
axe
mace
stick
hammer
staff
halberd
airstrike
landmines

revolver


Items

grappling hook
medikit/health pack that can be carried and used at any time
keys for doors

shield
electric field powerup
combat boost
mine detectors

custard creams to make you grow or enemies shrink


Environment

better AI than Soldat's
useless animals

steam, cloud, fog, fire effects

[Meep.]

Hmm, weapon wise, i'd like to see some sort of boomerang.  That grappling hook idea is very good and as for environmental features, it'd be cool if there were those crumbling or falling away after a certain time of standing on it platforms.  (Are we being set up Flies?  )

[Vltava]

Working on the RPG? For medikits, how about the ability to carry them around and use them at your own will? And have it so they seldom heal you completely (different amounts).

[PANZERCATWAGON]

I think definitely doors with locks, to give way to objectives such as killing certain enemies for a key to that door. Or just so that you can use them strategically, like running through a lockable door with enemies behind you and then locking it so they have to find a way around and buys you some time.

[VijchtiDoodah]

Vehicles, AI that doesn't rely on waypoints, triggers, and a BFG.

For as long as I've been playing, the one thing I ever wanted Michal to do was to add a single player campaign feature.  But it's always looked as if I'll have to wait until he releases the source, because someone else will definitely do it for him.

[Captain Ben]

Particle explosions and lightning rods.

[Brock]

I've always thought of having a single player Campagain kind of thing for Soldat...

[Krillious]

pogo stick , can be used to travel faster, and to step on enemies and use it as a weapon to hit them

[The Geologist]

I'd have a mission..where you go out into the map, and study different parts of it..describe the rocks you see, and then report back to base.   Of course, you couldn't really "study" persay..but grab a rock or something to run back to camp with.  And if you're too slow, you fail, and I yell at you.

Weapons?  A rock hammer of course, for taking samples, as well as a sledge and a pick.  Oh the fun to be had.

the sad thing is how much i would love to play that. i spent hours in shadow of the collosus just exploring.

but in order for that to be in soldat it would have to be a REALLY pretty map.

[SDFilm]

Water, and I'd like to make a sword or some other melee weapon.

Rat-flail!

[VijchtiDoodah]

Mmmm...and useless animals that run around and do nothing.  Unless you shoot them, in which case they'll lay on the ground and do nothing.

[Graham]

I would add jetboots

[MofoNofo]

All I want is animated GIF's and mabye way better waypointing (select how many bots can drop form on, the order the bots drop from waypoints, the weapons they choose are selected by which waypoint the bot spawns on etc.)

But if you're making a soldat fangame, i'd like these:

Weapons:
Rocket Launcher
Bee Swarm Gun
Axe
Shield

Items:
Beserk Pred Powerup
Electric Field Powerup (a shield of electricity surrounds you, hurting anything that gets close)
carryable health packs

Enviroment:
Leaves blowing around to a certain angle.
Animated tree's that sway
A Windy Day weather
Caves that can crumble

[Unlucky XIII]

Maces and sticks and flails. Because no RPG is complete without a blunt battering weapon.
And doors would be cool, as well as position and time co-ordinated events.

[FliesLikeABrick]

*snicker*

[MofoNofo]

Snicker eh..

[Rai-Dei]

Mmmm...and useless animals that run around and do nothing.  Unless you shoot them, in which case they'll lay on the ground and do nothing.

Zelda type thing? Kill enough cows and they start flying at you causing massive damage to health and dignity.

[VijchtiDoodah]

Yeah, I feel like I'm being set up for something.  And that snicker from Flies isn't helping any.

If you somehow got Michal to help you make missions in Soldat, then I'm all in, baby!

[Rambo_6]

I don't get this thread... Is this some sort of idea workshop?

Here's a few things:

Environment: Physboxes, Dynamic lighting, Events system (Set actions that are performed after they get triggered), Triggers (used in maps to trigger specific events.), Steam, cloud, fog, and fire effect emitters (maybe fits under animated scenery?)

Weapons: Some form of airstrike (napalm, normal bombs), Landmines, Dynamite (huge kaboom), Dual Uzis

Items: Combat boost (some sort of pill that gives you superpowered jumping and speed...), Mine detectors, Night vision goggles, Heat vision goggles
