Forums Index >> Modding >> A Suggestion - Bitmaps (coders wanted)
Page : <1> :
I think 56k Lagman knows is it possible...I dunno is it client/server side thing...Good luck with that, cool idea Spunky!
Spunky it is possible but itd take a lo of scripitng and id take quite a long time to do for the game heh it would completely reframe the game but it isnt possible for this version! Unless spunky u decided to make a new 1 TTS thinktanks spunky
PS more of a tt2 suggestion
Bump. I need a real coder to tell me if it will work or not - not just estimates from non-coders. I appreciate your comments, though, guys! B)
I would rather use a photo from in-game, it would only appear at the loading screen.
You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.
Yeah, that is doable on the client side.
Though, it wouldn't work so well with mods...
@Triv
Yeah, only on the loading screen would probably be better. Maybe if someone were to go into observer mode then go straight upwards until they had a clear view of the entire map, it would be good for the picture. But then they would have to put in all of the spawn points, ammo gates, powerups and whatnot by memory of the stage itself.
@56k
What do you mean by "it wouldn't work so well with mods?"
Mods dont have a bitmappy :) , BTW, having the gui its possible to do on client side, if it was with mods, changing the TT source code and having everyone to use that script would be needed
All it would take is a little GUI editing, and a few lines of script. But I do not have the first of the two, so the second cannot be followed though with,
Although I have'nt signed on in like ever~ I do belive it's possible and may have downsides like longer download or somthing? Because of increased file size? *wanders away*

Here's an idea - how about showing a bitmap of the level before joining it? I've seen this feature in other games - a basic map of the level before joining it. The map could have spawn locations, powerups, reload gates, etc marked on it, just so that people would get a feel for the map. Here's a few rough Photoshops of what I'm trying to say (note - these were really quickly done just as an example of what I was saying).
If this feature was implemented, I could make the bitmaps color-coded for height, like a topographic map. I would just need a scripter to add the code for putting the bitmaps there - if it's even possible.
Can any scripter get back to me on this if it's possible? If needed, I can make new menus, additions to the online and loading menus, and stuff like that.
