...i believe this is the proper forum for this:
...and this also has been brought up a while ago but i want to revive it:

a server-side, admin option to change time (slow down time)...
by increasing it by like 10%, you can make gameplay faster and more challenging. or, you could decrease it by 10% to make it slo-mo coo'

also very useful for movie-making and recording.

slo-mo bullets flying (esp. the barret). rly cool to see heads fly of in slow motino when getting hit with barret.

Yeah, it could open up new possibilities, but most will abuse it other thasn putting it to good use.
But but but, an icon or something should be displayed, to show how much faster or slower the time is.

I'd be pretty pissed if things just started slowing down midgame because the admin thinks it looks cool.

I don't like it.. I wouldn't like to play on a server that's too fast or too slow it would only get me mad.

i totaly agree.. i have always wanted slowmotion in this game:p

Maybe just toggle the amount of bullet time you get.

slow mo bullet dodging! fuc.k yeah!

I think slow motion and stuff makes a bit of problem with lag. Is it just me or some times during bullet time, everyone warps like hell? It's strange.

Nope, I think it's just you. I thought that bullet time could be done better as a powerup where everyone ELSE slowed down as well as their bullets, and you remained in normal speed. I though that thsi would be a very fun powerup to use, and yet would still be blanced with the other powerups. Also, being the one with this powerup automatically makes you a primary target by everyone and also immediately noticable.

papasurf31's idea is better IMO...

papasurf's idea aint gonna happen fo sho! it'd be very hard to program it so that one person remains normal speed and the rest gets slowed down.... besides, that would be considered futuristic and soldat just doens't [want] to support that!

my idea's just cool slow-motion effect...

I think his idea has as much of a chance as being implimented as your own :/

personally i think the games too slow but thats me :/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall there being a cheat which disables bullet time on any server. Surely if those morons (the cheat creators) can make it do that, then Michal can implement this.

And what's wrong with it being "futuristic"? We already have the existing bullet time, a vest which protects you against weapons designed to go through tanks, a powerup which increases your strength 4x and makes you spurt blood, a powerup that gives you a flamethrower which disappears if you throw it away and makes you invincible for a short time, and a powerup which makes you almost invisible. Not to mention jetboots, a bow which gives you self healing powers, etc.

ok, i will do just that*

it is easy to change speed of time, but it is extremely difficult to implement coding that let's the server run two different speeds simultaneously in the same game!

also, all those powerups aren't futuristic, however ps's 'slow down time' sounds (at least to me) a bit futuristic...but that's just me...

Sure, as long as you ignore the fact that the pred powerup is inspired by the advanced cloaking technology of a sci-fi alien.

O_O'' omfg! too slow?! i'd suggest u to go into a hot ctf_ server with lots of ppl (especially ctf_kampf)

anyway back to the topic: i would use the slo mo just for offline use coz the speed is ok now. i just would want to have fun dodging bullets like neo in matrix and shooting with deagles at enemies while dodging.(tho i suck with deagles : P)

hmm...i guess u got a point there...
still, it'd seem kinda weird if everything else slows down but you...and also, that idea kinda deviates from my initial intent*

It dosen't deviate from your initial intent, it improves it.

I could be interesting, as long as the settings can't be changed in game. But like, half the servers will probably be at like, 50%.

hmm...why not so that in a non-(lobby)-registered u can (so only if you play by yourself or against bot) --- and also, you'd have to be registered! :D

No. Soldat is pretty much a free game, and making it so some elements of gameplay aren't available unless you play sorta makes it worse in a way. The stuff you get from registrating shouldn't have a effect on gameplay.

If you could slow down time on an online server it would reduce lag, would't it?

mheheh... ''slo-mo lag'' xD
