Geno bolts

Toastline · Post by **Toastline** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 11:41 pm

I got to a-thinking, and I thought it would be neato if Genocide-flavoured bolts looked different from regular ones. So, enclosd are Genocide bolts for each color player. Instead of a white center, they have a black center, for those who don't want to download. Also included is a wav of what they could sound like. The sound would loop, and you would only hear it if you were fairly close to the thing. doppler effect and such would apply to it, of course. Since it would not only be time-consuming to make frames for it to be animated, but to write code for it to be animated as well, There's just one frame. Thought I'd put this here in case someone decides to use the idea.

And how do we use this...

A new version of BZflag would have to be made, of course. This was just an idea, with an example of how it could look and sound. So, as of yet, you DON'T use it. I had thought this was fairly apparent, but I suppose not.

If only it were so simple! That'd be neat...

Once this is implemented, if it is, then it would be that simple to change the geno-bolt image...
But first they need to change the code...

This sounds like a wonderful idea for 2.0.3b12, i hope this is in it.

I'm glad to see people like my idea! Thanks.

i think its a good idea to differentiate genocide bullets from regualr bullets .

but i'd like to see a blinking or twinkling kinda bolt . something like a quick white-red-white-blue-white alternation , as u see with stars at night sometimes =)

It'd be cool when the bolt hit an enemy, instead of everyone just dieing, a huge team orientated shockwave goes off in the centre of the field, wiping out the losing team in one go.

Since no one appears to be looking at the other thread I posted this in, I'll put it here, as it is relevant:

Genocide flag icon! Woohoo!

wow that would be neet ;)

or how about the huge shockwave emanating from the tank that got hit?

and maybe if u had a shield flag it can protect u from the wave?

Wow, that's actually a really good idea.

Heh, when I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be a suggestion to make lightening bolts come down and strike the geno'd team.

Hey, that's cool too!

but, if im right, then sw affects everyone except the person who fired it...so the giant sw would be hard without changing some things in the code...
