not the soldat forums lounge, but a soldat lounge. its just a place where players can hang out, talk and crap like that. but its filled with colliders so people cant kill, except for a place thats a shooting range-type place. ofcourse im not gonna make this since i suck at mapping, but its free for making :)

I've thought of this before (because of the lost "Gathering" mode for Black&White) and it might turn out nice.

Now, let's watch the average forum member trample on this idea.

Trample, lol. I think it's a great idea, but there'd be a lot of people banned. Try making the map :D

Umm...are you putting yourself down, or are you asking it you can suck at map making? Anyhow, it seems like an interesting idea, but as has been suggested...I think a lot of people would kill each other anyway. Good idea, bad idea..

heh, in another game i used to play online there were certain hotel levels... i think the game was call jazz whackrabbit or something like that.
anyway, there was a hanging out spot and a fighting spot in one level...

It could work, but all of the weapons would have to be turned off, and even then people could go around punching eachother.

But who would want to do that when they can just talk on the forums? Unless, of course, they wanted instant chat instead of having to wait...hmmm....

I would definitely make it if enough people wanted it and we found a good server to host it...otherwise it's just a waste of time.

Edit: Wait a minute, why not just use one of the fighting maps? It's not like it has to be anything special.

Spare us the dramatics...so what if there are colliders? You could still easily kill someone. Just take out the knife and stab them to death. If you want to get dramatic about it make the map yourself. Otherwise keep the sighing to yourself. It's a good idea, so don't get worked up about people pointing out very plausible problems with it.

... Why would we need such a thing? We have the Forums and IRC... But hey, why not.

Paramud, there is a severely low limit to the number of colliders that you can place in a map, but it doesn't matter anyways because someone with an m79 or law can blow the crap out of the people around him. And if weapons are disabled, you can still punch through colliders.

The best option would be just to ban whoever attempts to hurt another person.

This is like the habbo hotel, but the whole place would be filled with words

Would there be just one lobby?

Who would host?

What map would we use? (It would have to be huge)

Why not just have a main chat room?

Put this in Game Improvements, paramud! They could actually make a new mode about it, but only played online!

i have been making a pub map. i made a scenery set for this kind of idea before but i will not use it. the map is inf. no fight pub can't be hosted by any of server admins. it's a fact. so i think a playable map featured with pub would be good to make. and the current points of the map for me is 300/10. needs more time.

this is easy sorta to make, but its like a chat room, but if you dont like the person..

EXAMPLE:
MOFO NOFO: Hey pplz
Weirdnoob:Hi F%$K FACE
(remember that spawns are in bar)
MOFO NOFO: WTF DID YOU SAY
weirdnoob: Nofin..
MOFO NOFO: ^#$% U
weirnnoob: HAHA U CANT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THIS IS A CHAT MAP.
MOFO NOFO: i made da map, and you happen to be in the bar..
weirdnoob: so
*MOFO NOFO beats up the weirdnoob*
*weirdnoob spawns*
*beats him up again*
*repeats*
MOFO NOFO: HAHAAH noob..

... there

Holy cr@p.. i just found a glitch in my spawn place.. noobs could spawn kill you, mabye ill change spawn place to somewhere with health pax...

I would like to see this idea come to fruition, but only after Michal has worked out a way to make in-game private messages and messages only to people within a limited vicinity.

That way, you can get all of your buddies together individually, and then chat with them without the hassle of having your conversation split up by the messages from every other player in that server. You could also then just mosey from group to group in order to find the most interesting one.

How about some screen shots of your updates? Telling us one floor has a disco ball does little to hold any interest.

i know!! u make a place..i mean a room..whit a machine gun in and a bit away u make a half-wall *?* and set a health spawn or something then they can try to shot down the health box

I've made a bar-like map before, for Heavy Gear 2. They take a very long time to make.

It took me over two weeks of working about 3 hours a day to shape the terrain (3D, mind you, by hand), place buildings, vehicles, structures, and plot ideas for the map. Not to mention placing normals, organizing the layout, and playtesting it for bugs and gameplay.

It ended up being very awesome. It had 7 different environments; Snow, Hills, Mountains, Fields, Valleys, Underwater and a desert, not to mention the several different training facilities. A sniper's field, a life-sized city to battle in, race-tracks (two of them!), a hand-to-hand combat arena, a mobility exercise (basically, a mountain with lava dripping down all sides. One wrong step, kaboom), and an execution pit, for disobedient folk.

.. but yes, I got off on a tangent. Point is, it can take some serious time to make a (good!) map, so let the man breath, why doncha.
