WinBolo Wish List

I've had a couplea ideas for winbolo that could never be implemented, simply because I think Elvis has got his hands full already with solo programming. That being said, I don't think Elvis should feel that he has to incorporate these: this is just a time killer for us ungrateful bastards.

My wish list:

Different modes of game. For instance, "Open, Tournament, Strict or Jousting." Jousting mode would display a timer somewhere as well as each player's kills that would be available to each player in the game. Kind of like, "Player 1: 5 kills. Player 2: 3 kills. Time left: 2:48."

Indestructable terrain. It's sometimes a pain in the ass to have a game slowed down by shallow water in your quad or craters. This would also be very good if you wanted to have indestructable walls for a racing map, so that each player could have bullets and not have the ability to cheat.

Minor things: from-the-sea-shootable craters, mines that don't dissapear when shot on rubble from the sea.

Practice Pill-taking mode. This would allow you to get yourself in the correct position for a pilltake without having your block destroyed. When you felt ready to fire, you would hit a key that would "turn on" the pills and let them start firing upon you. In the same breath, a "line of fire" for everything would be nice. Instead of just having an indeterminite "X" out 7 squares away, a small line coming from your turret and terminating at the X's intersection would be nice, especially if it turned whatever it touched green to indicate that you were going to hit that particular object. Perhaps this could be used for pills as well.

Now add yours! Min, I already know, my ideas suck, so feel free not to post an attack. :)

Also another form of automatic scrolling would be cool. If you wanted it to scroll automatically, you could press a key that would scroll for you in the direction of your crosshair, and when you didn't want it on, you could leave off the key.

Hrmmm, a wish eh? I wish ren would die painfully.

man they got one of those, I have mine set as the keypad 8 some ppl have it as arrow up, it works nifty you should try it. And its funny how all you guys get so pissed off about Min and other flaming, then you try calling them out...weird...other then that i like the indestructable terrain idea.....would be very nice for some games......less bitching about mining etc

That's not what I meant, sky. Sometimes it's nice to be able to have one hand on the mouse and one hand on the keyboard, unfortunately, scrolling interferes with that. Automatic scrolling can be inconvienient as well... so my idea was to have a button that would autmatically activate automatic scrolling, perhaps with only the crosshair function instead of all the attacking tanks, etc.

sky?

u mean sj, nova.



i approve all of these ideas. i especially like the crosshair idea. and the fact it would blink over an object.

perhaps an lgm sniping mode! lgms come from all sides and you stand in the center and see how well you fare...also ...ive been wanting to say this for a while:




perhaps it could be integrated to joust mode:




the more and more tank kills/pills u take ect you get some "WBN POINTS" with em you can go to our "store" and buy new bullets, faster tire treads, and other cool stuff. note this would ONLY BE IN "DUEL MODE"....and if you register you should get points or soemthing too, to get ppl to register more.....if these features appeared i would DEFINITELY register to it n pay.

Being able to buy stuff would get lame after a while. Someone just starting out couldn't compete with someone with quad-damage bullets, etc. Better weaponry would reduce the level of skill and make joust little more than high-power shootouts.

My other ideal would be invincible testing mode, where you could go through the maps on a base run and test out pilltakes, etc, without having to die over and over again. LGMs could die only for a second, too. Unlimited ammo, mines and trees would be good, too.

Another fascet of jousting could be that your armor and shells would "recharge" after you've finished off your opponent.

Maybe being able to have more than 16 bases and 16 pillboxes would be cool.

q-man, ur getting a little too far away from the concept of winbolo there.....Its supposed to be a simple game.

A map restoring option when you're jousting could be nice. Whenever someone dies, you start over and the map is re-set.

I dunno why you would think I would attack you over a post of this nature, I wouldn't have posted anything in this thread at all if you hadn't put that little goodie in there ...

My addition to winbolo: Train Trax

Min

Silly Min! *jumps on Min*

By the way, for some reason "goodie" reminded me of "nugget." Need I go farther?

train tracks suxor we need tank treads showing up on the ground and lgm splatter marks

ya, and when you drive over lgm's splatter ... is stays on your tracks for awhile spreading goo all over.

If we did this winbolo, it wouldn't be winbolo any longer.

It would be something like this, www.neopets.com


Now, if we were to do something like that, it would make the bad players able toe beat players like Zach and Sev and Ud. If we were to do this it should only change the look of your tank. Such as design, shape, color. not the attributes.

For the first time, someone wants new features that aren't totally assinine. I think they are good ideas for giving the game a little bit more playability while leaving the traditional modes of gameplay alone. Instead of focusing on changing the way the game is played, new games with more narrow objectives are created. I like your ideas, Nova.

what Q-man suggested sounds something like Off Road, that 4 player truck driving game, when you win a race you get money etc etc. I like SJ's idea about more detail in the game. I think once you start adding detail though, the game becomes different, gamneplay and all. If it's a wish, then i wish for winbolo to take place in a 3-d environment, no more 2-d. lets bring winbolo up to date

My wish would be to have maybe like a different type of win bolo where you could have train and other stuff like maybe boats but it really wouldnt be winbolo it would be somthin else like "WinBolo Advanced"

ok ok....the duel mode thing ain't hitting.......but maybe we could at least change our color and tread marks (only duel mode) then you have like all these pimpin tanks and people start shooting em, and whenever one is hurt it gets all damged n fukkked up ehhhhheheeee

w00t!

I'm touched, Sticks. Thank you! :)

My thanks go to the mod who moved this post. Sorry, like I said, I didn't know where to put it.

hehe, oh whell.
