The idea is simple: you can only see what's inside a building when you walk in (the poligon becomes invisible when you walk "in" it)

So houses could be created (for city maps, and such)

good idea...so u mean u put some kind of a new polygona all inside a building so that when u touch the polygon u can see everything inside? very good idea for map making - can u see outside the building when ur in it?

ha that's right..if you are inside... that's would be the main problem. If person who is inside could see everything that building won't have sense...campers and other noobs will use that..eh barrets everywhere :D in all windows....nightmare

i didnt say it was like tat...i asked whether its like tat...or maybe uj could set different polygons...like when inside u see everything...or when inside u only see inside...or u can only see inside from outside and from inside u don't see outside...

Okay mr. vassiliwarmongeringfool or w/e... What do you think the barret was made for?? Huh?

Camping = Strategy = My respect (assuming you're good)

This idea would add more thinking to the game. I could almost imagine Soldats working in teams.

play realistic

Ok, i think it would be like this: when making a map, i creat the buildings, with these new poligons covered, and on the "outside" is covered with it: so, if you enter a building, it becomes visible, but the outside is invisible. so it could be the solution. the difficult part is to make this work, becouse now there is no connection between poligons. like if you hit a poligon (a triangle), it becomes invisible, but what about the other poligons? you dont touch them, so they are still visible. maybe the poligons of this type connect to each other when they are near.

Hmm.. 'Maybe for realistic mode' ;D

Hungarian soldat players barely play realistic mode, and that's true for this community aswell...you should try it before making ideas for it :P
Anyway, it's a good idea.
And it can't make the barrett problem worse than it is.

Well, thats half true. i used to play real, and i liked it more. than came v1.2 and realistic mode was so .. screwed up.

barret..ok maybe this weapon was made by Marcin because he wanted it in the game..but snipers are foolish in every game..like Counter-strike..they don't wanna fight...so i repsect the knives users...RESPECT PAL! :P hehe barret..ok but not only. I used it sometimes..but it is really rarely...

I don't see the point of this idea, can you give me an example of how it would be useful?

there's alot of players that DO use the barrett and DO camp, and i'd bet they'd orgasm over this idea. too dangerous, but a cool idea

you always hear ppl complaining about campers.
im personnaly sick of ppl like that.
tru its part of the game, and yes i do use it every now and then.
but this idea would create mass-camping. Whole teams would be snipers and just sit there. So if anyone came near, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM until his limp, dead body would be spit into thousands of tiny pieces.
THEN, the affore mention dead guy's teammates would see this and think: "holy [:-censored] dude! screw this im camping"
ergo you get 2 teams just camping. Any one tries to cross...well, read above.
it would turn the game into a sniper game.
nice try ;)

sniper game...Vassili, it doesn't mean that all maps would include buildings like that..but some 3 or 4
with these could be interesting. who knows

Guys, the realistic mod features that, of "not beeing seen through polygons, so go play realistic"
And yes, it would be campers heaven...

Freakman
October 9, 2004, 3:14 pm
it should be in that way: if you are inside you see what is inside, if you are outside..you see what is outside...but it isn't nothing special :P

Surely.. but realistic is hell in 1.2. i played in realistic before 1.2, but now, i rarely.. and almost never!

i have nothing against campers... just against barretards-run-around that run on you and blow your head off ... same as m79... thats totaly noobish and immature...btw thats a good idea ! you got my thumb on that![B)]

Hmm.. and what do you think is the best use of barret? Running with barret is not noobish.. well at least less than camping with it. So. Camping with barret is noobish, running with barret is noobish.. what else use of barret (or any other gun) is available? Ok, running on you could be noobish.. but than they can be easily eliminated before they reach you...

what kefear said is true...would you rather have a guy who sits down an juss camps..or would you want someone who actually goes about an actually goes for the enemy? sure, a barret can somtimes be a bit..noobish but if you dont like how barret is used for camping or easy 1 hit kills then what would the barret be used for...? Hey..maybe you could make the barret so if you hit a certain area in the player's body, then they will die but if u hit like only the leg then they'll still live...how about that? maybe then you wouldnt tihnk barrets are not soo noobish after all?

Ok, the facts:

1- No-one cares
2- Barret is completely different in 1.2.1
3- The Barret is a sniper rifle, would you run around with a sniper rifle?

Got you there Fear.I'd rather get killed by a camper than a barrettard.It's all point n click...might aswell play Diablo 2.

I dont really think we need this idea, but if you're really THAT passionate about it....play realistic mode...

Good idea, I'd rather it be a seperate option
from realistic mode anyway.
