hmm.. if we can't use the sounds from the current sound pack, why don't we just listen to the sounds we would like to use, and then duplicate them as best we can :D

anyone else up 4 that?

 

I've been using custom Jeep sounds since the first months Empires was released, they are based off of the Combine APC. Does anybody want to hear them?

 

I'll be working on a soundpack starting this weekend.

 

Add a whistle sound for flying artillery shells... The closer they come, the lower the pitch.

Well you dont have to enable them all for the next patch. I figured that DonMegel was just trying to condense ideas and try to keep the spam down in the forums. If you do see something you like just put it on the back burner if you need to for the future. I think every one would be happy with what is already planed for the next patch.

 

Awesome idea.

 

yeah, that would be nice

 

- Riot shields.


It would be godsent for Engineers. They are way too vulnerable when building now.

 

Ummm how would that be easy to impliment?

 

like this?(unofficial)

BE to follow.

 

quite a nice idea, but not for any one team in perticular. also, it could be a research and another item (like parachute) to pick up from the armoury...

 

Heres something easy to do. Change the default value for sv_specspeed to something higher. Empires has much bigger maps, and the current speed just isn't good enough.

EDIT:
Something that would be really useful to mappers is a way to reload the minimap script file in-game. I hate having to exit the game every time I make a change to the minimap script file.

 

Do you know how hard it is to get someone to revive you at times unless you shout like hell!?! Besides Ninjaing CVs is gray territory, most people think of it as premature ending for a round.

Larger heat dissipation capability for larger tanks(what's the use of having all those guns, if you can only fire them once).

 

I find it more acceptable than ghosting.

 

I've suggested this before, but there should be colored chat names to minimize chat confusion (BE players' names would be blue, NF players' names would be red, like in Team Fortress.)

 

I was gonna say something about that at some point too. I probably forgot. Or something.

But yes colored chat is a good idea.

 

I Agree 100% on that. Many a time I have to hit tab to see if it's either fellow players taunting, or enemy players unwittingly giving vital intelligence away.

Though it's been mentioned before, map icons that are easier to distinguish. There could also be a little key legend somewhere.

Oh oh oh, like the more recent BF games and NS, how about those little tips that pop up for players when doing something for the first time? Would eliminate most questions asked and general recruityness to a degree.

 

Yea thats a good idea. Just like a little hint message, play a sound too.

 

for colours: red for NF, Dark Red for NF Comm, Blue for BE, Darkblue for BE Comm? you need something to tell you that it's the commander speaking.
