The Features To Bring Winbolo Forward!

the problem of course is that making good looking graphics when your restricted to 16x16 sprite sizes ... is very very tough

I've been thinking of adding 32x32 sprites for double size views, however nothing has been done on this.

interesting idea elvis. if you were to do that ... would it be possible to instead make the default squares 32x32 and then just have the normal view "shrink" them ? .... also .. the problem I have with double view is that it doesn't properly scale the fonts .. so the fonts look ugly ... in my opinion ... :/

I think the interface of winbolo should be changed and the graffics should be updated. There should be no new weapons or vehicles. The only thing that should be added is the ability to fill in craters and clear rubble, but they would take half the lumber bar Thing. :|

There Ghost, i have just added this new suggested feature. All u have to do is build a road over the crater or rubble. I designed it to use only half a tree. Its a very new feture so any bugs that u spot should be reported. U can download it offa the winbolo.com website.

A useful feature would be some kind of alarm to say that someone else has joined a game that you are in, as there are times when there isn't anybody joining so it's just you, and if you go and do something then someone else might join and start without you... or leave and there is still no game...

i would like a way to watch winbolo games with out havin to ally some one..

ok. my turn to have a say in this. first of all, im an idiot ect...but i never new u hadta ally sum1 in order to watch them...like in starcraft...oh well, anyway, i totally agree with all u people who think its just plain idiotic to change the great game of bolo. what makes bolo so fun (and ive said it before) is that it has so d=few elements. it would ruin the game if u added stuff such as new weapons and aircraft ect. the only thing i really would like to see in the game is a coulpe more skins, but i really dont want to make the game tottally different and unrecognizable. bolo is fun becuz it is so simple and involoves a little more strategy then just going along and blowing up your apponenet with stupid heat seeking missles. so i say, lets keep the game of bolo the way it is, thank you. 8) :P :x :? :wink:

Bah. Bolo is Bolo is Bolo. It's been substantially the same for over a decade.

I'm all for superficial new features like customisable sounds/graphics etc, but anything that changes the gameplay is like adding a new piece to Chess - it shouldn't be done.

i totally agrre with u man :lol: 8)

I agree with evercat...

Plus, the way winbolo is now its very balanced, with a good amount of offensive stuff,(e.g. pills, mines, etc.) and a good amount of defensive stuff to nuetralize that offensive power.(e.g. walls, mines, pills, etc.):D

So, if there were any big features that really affected the game play like air strikes and protected garages, ppl might play it more, but it would go to its grave sooner. :oops:

It's like smoking. You feel cool, and are cool, but your life is shorter. :cry:

I don't object to features that don't affect game play that much, like the ability to watch games and Winbolo.net, but please don't substantially change the entire game.:P

Jay the Speeding Ray

same here. i would definitely not obect to features that did not really affect gameplay (radar, built-in borgs, the ability to watch games, skins, ect ect.) would be ok. anything that altered the gameplay totally like heat seeking missiles aircraft ect would just screw the fucking game. that is all.

u mean like a machine that can do it for you? actually, that isn't a bad idea! in fact, i rather like it! :) :D :lol: 8)

i think we should create a new kind a winbolo so that the people who like it the way it is can play it and the ones that like enhancements can play that one.

you could have 2 servers one for the newest version and one for the old

there is just no way anyone is gonna make a stupid version of winbolo with enw crappy weapons....if they do....ill...uhhh... SUE THEM!!!!!!!!!! hehe 8) :lol:

How about specific game modes? like Capture the Flag?

believe it or not, these have already been created! go to min's site here to get 'em! :D :wink: :lol: 8) :P :)

i would like to see a "special" farm lock. because a lot of winbolo players like to farm before the go and that really piss me off.

hey.....thats a good idea!

RENNY!

hows this for an idea: A second teir to fight on [2nd floor]?

what if we had tournaments?
winbolo tournaments, in which u got to add points to ur wbn score if u won it.

The only thing that should be added is the ability to fill in craters and clear rubble, but they would take half the lumber bar Thing.

It's called shooting down walls/rubble and building roads over the holes. If you want a machine to do it, I'm sure there are plenty of borgs out there that can perform this task. 8)
