Maniaplanet Update #3 - wishlist

[novationx]

my wishlist is mainly for Elite cuz thats all I play.

Important to the gameplay:
1- More dynamic gameplay for defenders.
Some brainstorming already here : http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=23103

2- Customizable HUD
3- Adjustable angle on jumppads
4- Find a way to allow custom blocks (This reeeaaaaaaly can provide better maps = what the game really needs )
5- A new ranking system + achievements as an incentive to play. ( Maybe even Steam achievements )

500 x #1 of the world just looks bad. There is absolutely no incentive to keep on playing the game besides getting better. We need a good ranking system so people actually launch the game to get a better ranking and brag to their friends! ( "Hey man I just got TOP100 in this game and Im officially better than you now" = awesome. Now its "I have no life and thats why I am #1 )
Getting 0.0 LP after a match doesn't feel rewarding at all


Cosmetics & easy fixes:
- Ingame chat window designed + scroll (+copypaste functionality)
- Maniaplanet chat redesign + scroll + copypaste functionality + multiline ( no scaling )
- Gamesounds like quake as an OPTION : Headshot , Tripple Tapped, impressive, 100m shot! etc etc
- turn off accellaration by default. --> better game experience for the customer from the start
- turn y-scale to 1 by default. --> better game experience for the custumer from the start
- Display active map of a server in the serverbrowser


I hope others agree with my post, because for me these changes would really be something.

- Display active map of a server in the serverbrowser

The first map displayed on the server join window is the current map.

Voice chat, this could be really fun on MP

I'm not sure if anyone is still reading these. But a gate in Siege (shootmania) that only opens after the pole is captured would make the game mode 100x better. It would make pre-cap rushes impossible. It would also be nice if the mapmaker could set "time to open after cap" of said gates. (ability to set different times for each gate)

Great ideas novationx!

Hi, these apply to tm2:
1. Enable controllers with analog gas and brake settings to also use a brake button without affecting analog gas.

2. Allow splitscreen players to choose skins. (Or at least automatically assign players different skins so you can tell them apart.)

3. Fix split screen input configuration. Button assigned to Horn is actually Respawn, etc. (it's a mess right now)

4. Fix bug in Split screen rounds mode where all previous winners are displayed on top of each other. I located the bug in the mania script. Simply remove one character to fix it!

5. More force feedback effects for wheel players. Let traction and speed affect strength of center spring. Stronger with more speed and traction. Weaker when drifting and airborn.

6. Add real analog gas and brake.

7. Fix camera button in split screen.

8. Separate give up buttons for split screen players. Useful for time attack.

9. Don't automap unassigned buttons if they were unassigned when saving changes. When restarting tm2 I always have to unassign "show score table" and "give up" when I want to play split screen because those 2 buttons currently affect all players.

10. Fix the unassign feature. It doesn't work, at least not in split screen input config.

Thanx

... splitscreen ...

Most of the splitscreen issues are hot seat issues, too. Please fix this game mode accordingly. Thanks

Skin rotation:
A mod(not to be confused with texturepack) which allows you to have multiple skins and/or models picked at the same time(because there are so many epic skins on maniapark I can't really decide which to choose )

options
-choose skins for each environment
-choose skin(s) for each mood (for example GlassRod only at night)
-pick skins randomly or in some particular order(skin1 ->skin2 ->skin3 ->skin1...)
-pick all skins available
-if someone else has the same skin on server, choose another skin (or choose the same intentionally)
-pick next skin: every x minutes, on next track, on every respawn (that's logical - you wrecked your canyoncar, so you have to use your spare ferrari )
-pick skin depending on maptype: Fullspeed, offroad, tech

Wouldn't this be epic?

I like that idea. I change skins all the time.
