1. Ok, I was thinking, how about we have lightning? I mean, not as a backround, but it would actually hit you! You could explode, like the effect of a m79. It would be cool if it could also burn trees, I think the burning trees has been suggested before...

2. Sand storms? Your playing in a desert and all of a suddon, a sand storm appears. It would be like a sand tornado thingy... It would be able to pick you up and move you, and you'd lose some health!

3. Wouldn't it be funny to get stuck to some pollys because there to cold? Maybe we could have true ice pollys, but in some parts it would take you a lot longer to run, or you can get stuck for a secong or two!

I think that's it for my suggestions... Plz don't be to mean to me... [:-spin]

also maybe if somethign explodes near the ice polygons, icicjles would fall from above..?


these ideas are nice, but might make the game a bit too complicated,

not going to be implanted... but i like that stalagmites falling from the celling...

3.just stupid

Soldat is using DirectX if i'm right, shouldn't it be able to use special light effects not just sprites?

would be cool with some effects...

Would be slow with some effects like that, also. :)
But it would surely be cool, but i doubt that it will be implented...

Those ideas are totally weird. Maybe some dynamic weather, but stuff like that? nawwww

ah I just added the pic because I had it uploaded. It's my remake mod...

Stalagmites grow from the ground up..stalagtites are growing from the ceiling down. [;)] I kinda like the lightening idea, if it were possible...could make for some interesting levels. [:D]

1, Point!!!
2, Point!!
3, Point!

Yeah 3/3!
Me likes the ideaz

Don't mix grafical issues with gameplay that's what I say.
I have effects disabled, coz it slows down the game(and they're damn ugly imho).

i like the lightning. maybe it could hit the people with higher scores too as a sort of balancing?

about the lightning idea.
might be an optionable to be turned on in DM, but imagine the flagger in CTF being hit by a bolt, how unfair this would be.

I'd rather like to see animated sceneries (gif, bmp sprites, whatever), that could be used for some nice lightning in the background, smoke,...

Dynamic lighting would be great, but would cause a lot of slow down.

BTW - here a possible effect I've been thinking about. How bout if everytime a bullet hits a certain type of polygon, different animated things would pop up. For example, if a bullet was shot into sand, then a plume of dust could pop up. It would be really cool looking and give soldat a cinematic feel. Like this:
[IMAGE]
but looks much better

My biggest issue with these ideas was kind of touched on by Grand Diablo: In the interest of fairness, I don't want the game to be affected by random events anymore than it has to be. I want the game's winner to be decided more by skill and not by somebody getting randomly killed by lightning or moved by a tornado.

OH GOD THE LIGHT AHHHHHH I'M LIGHT SENSITIVE

I like effects like that in games. It would slowdown the game that's true.
and i wouldn't be able to play Soldat :( as the game is slow already

/me hides in the shadows

NOOO THE LIGHT IT BURNS!!!!
meh... maybe some lightning that would be cool :P

That would be cool...and when you get struck your guy does a little "dance" (like those funny effects in cartoons where you see the skeleton through the electricty) then you you fall down smoking! Muahahah! I have evil thoughts some times...

Sand Storms would be....creepy.

And I don't understand what you mean in the third one.

Envision these suggestions actually working with minimal complaints in Soldat.
And burning trees does.... What exactly?

"fking lightning kill me bs"
"u only killed me cuz of the sandstorm"
"omg noob barreted me when i was stuk lame"

It's nice that you took the time to suggest something, but it isn't really necessary for everyone, and it's only if you have an idea that is completely different to the ideas of others. -.-'

lightning coming down sometimes and damageing us... that would be cool... and lightning would strike twice!

1. i like
2. i like
3. i thik is stupid.

the ice thing? nah. I think soldat should have snow that is slow to walk through and you sink into (depending on depth).
the sandstorm idea is good, but being picked up and thrown away? no.

What would be even better than a getting stuck to a poly because it is too cold would be to just die from freezing to death and then it crashes you computer instantly and corrupts soldat too so you have to reinstall. HOW FUN WOULD THAT BE! AWESOME!

Lightning sure
Sandstorm no
Snow from Vassili's post Yeah

i like the lightning. and hit soldats could respawn with white-streaked hair, like real lightning victims.

Lightning - Ok
And Some water 'll be cool...

Vassili, try and cut down on the posts, and notice the edit button next to the quote button on your posts... ~.~
Not sure if water can be done, you can make it look like water (blank behind map with transperancy) but you can't make it actual water... =/ I think I already posted my opinion on the lightning so I won't say anything about that.
