Simple features/bugfixes/polish that you would like to see in the future

Flag hoisting/lowering to show capture progress so people who aren't in the cap zone can see if their team is about to lose/capture a flag.

ML turret target prioritisation. Shoot an occupied tank first rather than an empty one, a heavy tank rather than a jeep, a barracks rather than a repair pad, etc.

Battlefield-style low hull alert sound. Kinda like lock-on warning sound.

The ability for spectators to see who are in vehicles without having to switch between all the players until they find them.

Remove drag 'n' drop on vehicle customization, or AT LEAST make the the "drop zone" for each slot a few pixels bigger than the slot itself, to prevent frustration in the heat of combat when you keep missing the drop zone by 1 pixel and have to re-drag.

Nicer building placement effects/building ghost effects. Maybe GMOD-style "warp in" effect, maybe even with a zeeoowww sort of sound.

Maybe not so small, but a new commander voice. That bitch's voice constantly mispronouncing everything is annoying. A DEFENSIVE TURRENT IS UNDER ATTACK A DEFENSIVE TURRENT IS UNDER ATTACK A DEFENSIVE TURRENT IS UNDER ATTACK

 

Numbered this because I'm too lazy to annotate the quote.

1) This is a good idea, and it can't be that hard, although it probably needs maps to be recompiled to use whatever way it got added.

2) Not really that important, but probably simple to do.

3) Whilst not massively important, and probably kind of annoying (like when your pokemon has low HP), it could be done if we re-added the old ML lock sound and gave low hull the current one.

4) This would be really nice, and I was sure it was actually something KaneTW added at some point, although it might not have made it in.

5) VF customisation GUI is a total nightmare. Whether or not the catchment areas could be increase, I don't know, but changing it in the way you're saying is no small thing at all.

6) Particle-wise, that's up to Empty, but we have no sound engineer and no spare sounds to use, so I doubt we can do much else.

7) No, this isn't small.

 

I would have done some sound shit if I had proper recording equipment. I can always try dicking about with NI Massive/Reaktor/Kontakt to make some weird sounds.
I've always wanted to do something like sound engineering.

 

If you get in contact with Angry then he could tell you stuff.

 

Nope. Just replace the current flagpole model with one that can be hoisted/lowered.

The BF3 low hull sound is non-constant and not overly loud, so something like that could work.

Add it then.

I'm sure you could use royalty-free sounds or get Fooshi to try it if he wants.

 

As long as it isn't, as Trickster said, similar to or as annoying as the low health sound in Pokemon. Sadly, only constant high pitched sounds work for alerts. And sadly, both of them give me major headaches.

If I can disable it through console at least, I don't care though.

 

Fix turrets resetting their angle when sabbed/stunned.

Nope. Again, BF3 has it just right. The occasional "REPAIR YOUR SHIT" klaxon-type sound is good enough.

All of these sorts of things should be toggle-able.

 

holly shit... smithy still alive.

 

easy to hide this jumbalaya at the start of games?

you can see it in spec and if you look up while waiting to spawn...

just looks unfinished....

 

I've seen it happen a lot in-game. Maybe it's sporadic but it definitely occurs when turrets are disabled for some reason (also when they are destroyed they reset their angles before disappearing). Maybe it was already fixed in SVN? I doubt it.

I know it would require code support, I didn't just expect it to work magically without it.

 

you mean a flag that is easy to capture the first time but the other times will be longer or visa verse?

 

I really don't think it is THAT difficult or complicated.

 

-mortar collision
-get mines from ammo boxes after being revived

 

ohh god yes... fix mortar collision. The other day I was playing in escort I aimed a mortar at a dude... and hit went to the dudes location then quickly dragged across the ground to a wall then exploded... WTF Dude kept going like he didn't even see anything explode around him?

 

i thought the mowtar bounce thing was just clientside thin making it look like that when really it was on target. I've killed people with the mortar even though it looked like i wasn't even close because it appeared to bounce off
