Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

From how I understand it it is pretty much decided how 0.3 will look like, so I´m guessing any new suggestions now will be seen as more long term. I could be wrong.

Anyway, you could add unhookable walls too the MAP headline. From the Environmental Hazards thread.

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

My answers == bluish.

SERVER OPTIONS
password (v0.3)
Done
map cycle (v0.3)
Done
password protected nicks for stats & clans + firends list (master.teewars.com?)
In the upcomming 0.3.0 we will have multiple masterservers (or rename them to listing servers) for added robustness. If one server go down, there are 3-4 others that are still running. Stats, password etc for players, is something that is often requested and I have an idea how to do it. The thing is that it shouldn't just be one server that keeps all this. If that server fails, everything fails. So I've look into this I have come up with a decenterialized way that looks pretty much like Jabber. This won't be in 0.3.0. Perhaps 0.4.0 but there are stuff more important for 0.4.0 like improving the editor.

Download map from server on connect
Wanted, but not done for 0.3.0.

Ability to generate stats in html/log (Shoud be ez to fix?)
Will not do. The server generates a log that easily could be parsed if you want to that info. I know other players have done this. I'm going to let the community sort this one out.

Server console Done & ability to kick/ban (-By Razor)
Server console is in 0.3.0. Kick/ban can be fixed for 0.3.1.

no sword option ffs!
A no powerups option could be fixed yes.

+ Alot more server settings (-By Fubar)
Like what?

GAME MODES
CtF (v0.3)
Done
TDM (v0.3)
Done
Checkpoint race
Though about it. Will probebly make it into the game at some stage.
tag game / Hammer tag (-By many)
Also called rabbit. Will also make it in, some time.
Instagib (Jonte)
Gah, I hate instagib and it's so not teewars. We'll see about this one.

MAP
unhookable walls (-By Dreamy)
WILL make it into 0.3.0 to make the ctf maps.

open sky environment (unhookable walls will come in handy @ map endings)
Will make it into 0.3.0.

lava/"doom slime"/water?
Hurtable tile will probebly make it into 0.3.0 as well.

loose objects (-By Gibbon)
Not sure about this one yet.

GAMEPLAY
Restart round when second player connects (-By Ohyeah)
Warm up in DM. Will not make it into 0.3.0. Perhaps a later version.

Server name on score screen (-By Slayer)
Ohh.. good one. This will make it into 0.3.1.

Additional weapons (-By many)
CTF melee weapons (baseball bat that does min damage but sends teams flying back away from base?) (-By Rochey)
More weapons are comming. Like a sniper rifle atleast.

Weapon switch bug/problem (-By Zachman) (Ability to switch the wapon while firing but not fire immediately)
Enqueue weapon, yeah, should fix that. Will make sure its in for 0.3.0

In game menu: Quit, Setup, Ready/Unready, Switchteams, Vote map (-By Nealz) Done
Well, voting won't be in 0.3.0 but will make it in there some time.


TITLE MENU
Advanced custom defined key settings where one can set up chat macros and also set weapon switch up/down (for instance useing the mouse wheel (-By many))
Mouse wheel i supported in 0.3.0 for anything including weapon switching. The other stuff will come in a later 0.3.x when I've rewritten the console.

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

Oh, forgot one thing. Under GAMEPLAY: bullets originationg from weapontip rather than tee. (could dodge by getting really close)

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

1: When will the no powerups option be implemented?

2:I woud really, really like to see the (hammer) tag game mode in v0.3.x!! Anyone who played motocross madness 1 with this game mode know its great (only becouse of the tag game).

3: More server options = e.g kick afk tees option, etc? I knew a lot of more options yesterday, but I never wrote them down. I'll start taking notes while playing, so I won't forget.

I know I'm not good at graphics, but here's an lava example anyway:

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

Haha! Well, thank you. lol
But i don't think it holds the same high standard as the other graphics in the game - It's just a proposal. However i think Red Com might come up with something good looking? (Isn't he the graphic artist of teewars?)

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

http rankings!? But it might be up to each server to provide?

BTW: I want to make a script wich will examine the server console output for publishing stats on a web page. Therefore I wonder if there's any possibility to put the server console messages to a file? I'm using windows 2k sp4 and I've tried the output to file prefix (>) and the append output to file prefix (>>) (I.e teewars_svr.exe >>log.txt). It results in no text at all, niether in the command prompt or in the file. yikes
I've looked in the cfg file + at http://ix.teewars.com/trac/wiki/CommandLineSwitches
I found nothing about it, thou. I'd be grateful for a quick reply. (I'm working night shift but got nothing to do. = lots of time on my hands. smile)

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

Well under windows, I don't know, but under linux, you can tape "./teewars_srv | tee -a serveur.log" and it works.

What's the "tee" for? That must bee a program file I don't have...
In windows you can use the "|" character for running a program together (i think) with another program (e.g "type textfile.txt | more" = Run the "type"-command with the file "more.com" (results in showing one page at a time)) hmm

Edit: From where did you get that command line?

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

I konw the "|" fonction, but it only work with two programm I think. With a file It don't.
The "tee" command under linux is use to redirect "the out" of a programm, and the "a" option tell "tee" that he have to write it in a file.
I hope it can help you.

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

The "|" is used to "pipe" output betwin prgrams, so it's not program specific. It simply takes std-out (what normaly goes to the screen) and sends it like std-in (normaly your keyboard) to the next program. This is very old and well used, at least in Linux/Unix, but quite new in Windows.

I don't know it there is a windows version of "tee", but a few minuits on google can probably spread some light on that. Else you can always download the source-code and port it yourself. It's open-source after all big_smile

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

The easiest way to do this is to use >
Should work in both windows and *nix

teewars_srv.exe > teewars.log

or

./teewars_srv > teewars.log

> meens write stdout to file
You might also use >> which meens append to file (add content att the end).

Languages shapes the way we think, or don't.

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

Hmmm.. I'm really no linux freak, but maybe I'll try it. smile (It's always good to learn new stuff)

I wonder why the > and the >> does'nt work thou? It works on all the other commands and programs I've tried applyed it to. Oh, well... Maybe matricks can take a quick look and implement a command variable for putting the output into a text file AND on the screen as usual. (e.g teewars_svr -log svroutput.txt) hmm

Re: Listed suggestions for the upcoming v0.3.x

That would be really nice.
Another thing I would like from the serveroutput is timestamps, so I can see when the output occured.
