Granger knows what hes building
« on: April 12, 2007, 06:46:11 pm »
I think it would be cool if the person (who is using granger) presses a pre-set button and can see what buildings are built (for example 2 eggs, 3 acid tubes..).

The second idea is a minimap showing alien buildings and were the yare built <- don' think its a great idea.

The first one can be useful since the alien base can beeasily disperesed and can help people control noob building.

Well this is just a suggestion.

yes, a good idea. I hate when I am gangren, and don't know how many eggs there are (and nobody wants to tell me) o_)0
I think modification of GUI, that shows you if there OM is available, and number of eggz will be best thing

The problem was that CP can only take up so many lines, wehereas if it used a dialog or menu system, or even the console, you could have it say:
For aliens
3 eggs
10 acid tubes
1 hive
3 trappers, 2 on the floor (it could check orientation)
3 barricades
2 boosters
Overmind at full health
Hovel built
5 structures are outside the overminds creep

And the human one could be:
15 mgturrets
5 teslas
2 Dccs
3 telenodes
1 armory
1 medistat
4 repeaters
3 structures are outside reactors power
Reactor at full health

Something like that, it would print to console.

it would also be wise to tell you where they are built. at least IMO.

Once the maps are recompiled and released with location entities, that could be done.

Wrong Idea: Do it like this;

ONE LINE:

OM:100%, Eggs: 2, Trapper: 3, Boost: NONE, Acid: 5, Hive: NONE, Hovel: 1

This would automatically be broadcasters to all builders every minute.

Good idea but every 5 or more minutes not every minute.

Dretch*storm server has a command to do this now.

It shows if the reactor/om is alive, how many eggs, and how many builders
in one line with different colors for the variables.

Noobs.

I was playing on A V A L A N C H E yesterday and it was really filling up with idiots - I couldn't even be bothered to decon the floortrappers, there were too many of them! A lot of doors blocked rants with acids, etc. Horrible games last night, just horrible.

Also D*S violates the GNU contract that it agrees to to run tremulous, because they modify opensource code and dont release it.

They only *have* to give it out if there is a client download, or its otherwise distributed,

However, nice people share.
