Wow. I'm loving some of these features!
I'm curious, how does the concept of invisibility work?

Your hedgehog becomes invisible

Hi

Love the fact that you'll add the idle-hedgehog-animations In worms they were so cute like taking its eyebrows and making a mustache out of them

I want to ask something - are you planning to make an "undead" power-up. It will make the hedgehog like Hedgeminator (that is - indestructible) for n-rounds (1,2 or more - it's your decision)?

Hey!

Sounds very good! =)

I got two ideas from worms which i liked. For mines. Mines which explode immediatly if you are near to them. And mines which are duds.

dud mines wound me up... :P
maybe an option to set the delay for the explosion? We should have weapons settings and game settings, which inside the game settings control everything like solid land, turn time, hog health etc. It's also reduce space consumption and help with the low-res issue.

OMG WHERE IS THE RUBBER BOMB

Also, just because something is NOT on the list, does not mean it won't be implemented
My only hope...

Well, these are some of my suggestion:
- The Ninja Rope can be hooked to itens. It becomes strange when you get that same iten and the hope anchor still there, fluctuating... (You can achieve the same results with mines!)
- When a match ends, make it change windows focus to the menu app. (When you go back to the desktop while playing, and manipulates a lot of windows, they end up cluttering the game menu widnow, which will not pop up again when a match ends)
- The "Limit FPS" Type box at the Configure menu is buggy? I don't know if it tryes to limit what you can type, but it doesen't work very well when you try to type in.
- When a hedge trows a Cake, and it hits himself, it's strange to see him with a smile face...
- The mine on Worms made a "different" bip when it was first activated, and then started that sequence of beeps until the explosion. I think that this first "different" beep is intersting to get the attention of the player. And, the bounce sound it made was fun to raise the tension.
- We need Explosive Barrels! they were fun, allways making big explosions bigger!
- The team colors could be brightened to make it easyer to read the hedge tags while in game (maybe this is my CRT monitor fault)
- Currently the player limit on the engine is 6, but on the front end is 8 or more. This leads to some unecessary confusion...
- Better feedback when an item/worm fells on the water. Some bubbles or we could use some more fancy effects.
- Increse the number of hedges to a maximun of 36, so we can have 6 teams with 6 headges! (or even more if it's possible)

But where you can place all of the hedgehogs? The terrain has limited 'capacity'. And after all it's hard to play with many hedgehogs on the map.

Additionally that could cause alot on hassle over network (Probably not, but it's possible.)

I'll just answer with this quotation from the list above all posts:

End of story I would LOVE to have a map 3,4 and more times bigger than the current with tens of hedgehogs beating out the cr*p out of each other with super weapons for massive destruction After all Hedgewars is kind of turn based strategy

We'd have to categorize maps then. Small, medium and large. Still, could be fun. ^^

Agree. Having a map of small size (like 1/2 of the current size) and 36 and more hedgehogs in it...That'll be a total massacre

watermelon bomb anyone?

But with that size of maps we have now it just will be a mess on the screen

Even with this size of map Intel's graphics cards have problem with rendering it properly. First we need fix this. Later Tiyuri can do larger maps.. Even on 10000x50000 px.

Well, every product could be adjusted to the hardware it runs on. I'm not talking about creating a version of HW only for Intel graphic chips, but somehow change the game so that it can run on each and every PC with this video. By not doing this you limit the people who want but can't enjoy this game.

No, it's your vendor who doesn't let you play hedgewars by giving you faulty drivers

Dear unC0Rr, I really don't think that Intel gives a shit about HW (or any of us - small clients - to be honest). Sad, but true. I don't use this video chip-crap and I won't be using it unless I HAVE TO. But since the era of cheap netbooks (and most of them use Intel video dung) has already begun and more people use them every day, it'll be wise to make it run properly...Let's wait for the next 1-2 version of drivers and see if it gets fixed or not.

- Add achieveemnts

We will have a ranking system soon

- Add autoupdate support

Only possible on the windows version, most people play on linux, but we'll see.

- add compatibility with steamworks

that's only for big development teams as far as I know, I don't think we can do this

achievements not rankings

-----Maps and Levels-----

- ability to specify the amount of mines on the battlefield (none, default, mine field, etc.)
- ability to specify the amount of objects (flowers and stuff)
- ability to disable bridges (usually, it's impossible to have a canyon in the middle, because the damn generator pretty much always 'bridges' it)
- ability to disable sudden death

-----Network play-----

- fix the problem with 'remaining' logins, after you get a d/c or some other glitch, which forces you change yours and creates situations like games hosted by 'dead' logins
- sometimes leavers cause the game to end (usually comes with an error message, I'll note it down next time it happens), any idea why's that?
- add a sound when someone joins your game

-----Gameplay features-----

- reduce the bounciness (or allow customising it, currently weapons like mine drop are totally unpredictable)

Btw, great work with the game, thanks a lot

these have always been things I've personally had problems with

- Rope makes no sound.
- With Desert Eagle and Shotgun, after you fire the movements are kinda odd.. it like resets you or something? I know that this game isn't Worms, you guys can't stress that enough. I remember when I played Worms I'd use Shotgun and then hold the direction in which I wanted to move after that and I'd immediately be able to move to that direction. HOWEVER, in this game after you use either weapon, you must press it AFTER the delay. This is especially annoying if you're running low on time.
- I'm not sure if this applies to any other weapons, but Shotgun visually doesn't line up with the crosshair. Kinda throws you off a little.
- Not really a suggestion, more of a concern. Mines seem to all go off at the same time. makes mines more of a easy-to-avoid obstacle and tool to use to knock other hogs into rather than something you actually should fear stumbling across. Is it meant to be a stage tool, area restriction, or both? I'm just noting that it's not doing a real good job at the 2nd part

And this isn't a suggestion, but is it just me, or is it that all forms of napalm seem a little weak? Just wanted you guys' opinion on that. If this is not the place to do that then can I get a PM instead?

edit: New suggestion
- Pleeease make it so that input isn't just limited to one key if this is possible.

HI Ability to always switch hogs would be a Great Thing!

You can do that by editing the weapon set. Choose "ulimited" for the switching and there you go.

As Above, about the mines, the ability to set in the match menu "mines detonate after 1, 2, 3, etc seconds, and RANDOMIZE detonation time, so that mines become really scarry.

we could also use a jetpack!

my ideas:

- fastwalk (those who are familiar with worms know)
- stronger hedges - for fire punching, whip, bat..

Stronger hedges??? If you mean the small amount of health (which isn't small at all), you can increase it from the options of the match.

Hope there will be the featuere to compile demos to video datas.

Hm, I don't think that's important and besides - you can always record it with external program. Even with crappy software like CamSt*dio you can get decent quality.

yes, i mean exactly this.

Low Gravity increases distance hedgies fly

I second the idea (or is it third ).

Will it able to use the lobby chat if you are in room?

How bout giant hog! The ability to make your hedgehog grow sorta like the Mario style for a couple of seconds and trample on other hogs and destroy terrain!

What about concrete donkey like weapon? That was AWESOME and same with the sheep!

And last of all, a complete, unpredictable, RARE mass destruction weapon that obliterates most of the terrain.

Cool game, love the flexibility, LOVE Hedgewars!!!

1.Giant hog's been discussed
2.Dunno about the concrete donkey. It'll be nice but I think we can live without it
3.No need of sheep - you have RC Plane.
4.Like Armageddon? Someone here posted a patch for his own super weapon than did quite a bit of damage. You can try that if you want. I really never figured out the point of Armageddon. It wipes almost 80-90% of the terrain and even if you succeed to hide your guy(s), it(they)'ll loose all its(their) health and even more.

Rubber bomb is a mix of the donkey and Armageddon.

when you enter a game, which is already in progress, spectators can't make the chat-history visible.
i know, the spectator needn't to get access to the whole chat from the beginning, but all the chats since he/she entered.
you may enable this =)
--------------------------------------------
when you hit a box with the RC-plane the camera shakes around, because it takes the fire into the focus , then the plane, and then the fire again. this minor bug may be fixed sometime.

thanks

I'd like to see in HW a similar map editor like in Armageddon, except with more features like the ability to:

- Customize water color
- Use exsisting theme objects to make your own theme
- Customize the color of exsisting theme terrain textures
- Choosing a sky, flakes, or horizons
- Have a seperate map generator in the editor to have the ability to set the roughness of terrain, heights, number of islands(open maps), or cave openings(cave maps)

Just to give this cool game even more flexability.

^ There was a discussion about that. Probably won't happen. You can always change this things manually by editin the PNG-images.

Yes, but I suck at doing levels outside of HW. That is why I had to bring this up.

Me and my friends also thought that if there was a special mode that you could only do on multiplayer (lan or internet) that you could not have turns, just all out battle and you have to think quick. It's just an idea, but even if you could implement it in the training area. Like you've got to rope through this massive terrain with heaps of AI firing bazookas at you.

I can't wait until the training gets worked on more, and I like all these suggestions.
