I just got an idea
« on: October 07, 2001, 12:43:00 am »
First of all, I think this mod might rock when it´s done ( for example, i loved Gloom..except it crashed on me all the time, but nevermind that now). I read in a post a bit further down about a spiker thing with slime or something. And an idea struck my mind: I actually got a picture of a snail creeping from one point to another ( say a corridore, from left wall to right.) smeering, something that glows/glooms (no pun intended, or sumthin=P). This could be just any shader in green or something like that. It would be about 10 cm wide and do maybe 5 in damage each time you step on it. And why would this help? Well, say you put these chalklines o´ slime just before a base entrance, and space it as such that even if you jump over the first one, you´ll hit the second, and so on. This would

a) slow the players down (because they have to jump very very carefully)
b) wound them so they are easier to get a hold of.

The damage could vary maybe.. say green is 5 HP, red is 15, and blue is 20 (and very very rare). I dunno. What´cha think?

I see some problems with your idea. Who would wanna play as a snail who's only job is to snail around and lay some slime on the ground. And what if someone not nice decided to cover the entire level in slime. That wouldn't be fun for the oposing team.

The alien structures do have a small radius around them that slows movement. The effect is also visible, not a green slime trail, but a black network of 'organs'.
