Seal the doors!
« on: January 07, 2004, 04:57:42 pm »
Dear Timbo,

I am big fan from ugoslavia and i like ideas.  I think door sealing with huge flame for human side would be great ok for your mod know?  Doors could have like metal hit points and when they go boom their seal is broken ya ok.  And alien maybe secrete mucus from butt to seal door their side too ya.  Know?  OK

(not directed @ you Overflow, just in addressing everyones concerns about NS):

First, I don't understand why everyone thinks we'd be ripping off NS for this feature.  Its a common place scene in quite a few alien movies.

Secondly, who cares about NS?  It wasn't the first game of its type, it doesn't have a stake to every feature it possesses.  Its developers aren't the ones giving us shit for having a similiar themed game, its the NS community hate squad (who I could really give two rats asses about).  And in reality, only a select few of them are trying to goad us.

My feeling is we're dodging a feature that would be really tactically fun to have due to it being featured in NS.  The NS community hate squad wins when it makes us this paranoid of getting backlash.  We're getting schooled by 13 year olds.  Fuck that.  The only way we could risk valid criticism is by making a shitty mod.  But we're not.  Whats next, we can't have buttons that open doors?

Why let the NS community hate squad dictate our actions?  When the next fun marine vs. alien game comes out (regardless if its by the NS guys or some new development team) everyone of those NS fan boys will be like crackwhores at a rock convention about it.  Even if it stole every feature but made it *better* no one would care.  NS will still be fondly remembered as a great mod, but I bet no one will complain to the new dev team about how its a 'rip-off'.  

The only reason some of the NS community is even spouting that shit right now is because we haven't shown our work.  They have to judge by screenshots and a few scraps of description over what Tremulous is.  They don't want anything to topple NS, it would crush their favorite game and hurt their egos for supporting it.

Well, fuck em.  Fuck those NS players who try to trash us.  Props to the NS players who see Tremulous as an addition they can play for free and have fun with.  We're not competing, theres no reason for PR smoke and mirrors and feature x missing while feature y is implemented.  

If its cool, lets put it in.

Paranoia - another Quake 2 mod that featured humans vs. aliens had this door sealing feature complete with progress bar and door health.

hehehe, I was just kidding.  No easier way of getting a mod killed than by using the Alientm.

But thanks for that link, I love the Li works, and that sculpture looks like it does it justice :)

I think this would be an awesome idea. What tool would you use though? Maybe the secondary fire for the advanced constructor.
And if someone is stupid enough to walk through the door while you are sealing it, it resets the process.

[edit]Oh! Oh! A sealed door should have a certain amount of HP, right? Well, if an alien began banging on one side of the door, then you could stand on the other side repairing it to prevent them from breaking through. The more damage being caused to the door, the more people are needed to keep it sealed.[/edit]
ever assume a species is intelligent just because it produces intelligent individuals.

idea=win
it would be fun and it might be fun to make a new mode out of it, like a survivor mode where it is literally camp ftw. or just something to redirect aliens on normal maps. doors should also have a smaller and smaller max "health" after each forced opening so that eventually they can be knocked down by a dretch.

You make a good point about necro'ing though it would have been better if you had more to say about it.

I shall now perform a great feat of monstrous proportions! I call it "Finding the earliest thread and saying something clever in it".
