Hello everyone,

I was thinking of adding a new stance, so you would be able to stand up, crouch and crawl + lean left and right

I think the gameplay of BW is really great to play with a sneaky gameplay, I already use the mutator "real time shadows" or "tactical shadows" I don't remember the exact name, so you don't see very well the players while they stand in shadows, especially at long range they are nearly invisible, it fits perfectly with BW.
(Though I find the sniper rifle really weak compared to the SRS900 now, thanks Kaboodles :d )

But I imagine it would ask a lot of work from the dev. !sad

So, what do you think of this idea ?

Leaning would require a lot of animation work, and wouldn't work with any custom character models with their own custom skeletal structures.

BW already has the option to make players darker than stock UT and remove the excess player lighting. It works too well sometimes. Jakobs can be almost impossible to see in some areas.

Yes, that's what I figured with the lighting, it's pretty cool. Players are almost invisible and playing sneaky is really great (especially with SRS900 actually, I'm addicted now LOL) !lol

I also figured out with the leaning and crawling since BW use it's own pawn + different skeletal structures but as usual, I'm dreaming !amazed .
I guess the Runestorm Team doesn't want to put that much work in the mod since UT3 is out and UT2004 is getting old !sad

I'm sorry James :( , it's not what I wanted to mean, I meant UT2004 is getting old and I don't know if a team of so talented modders will keep working on UT2004.

And since they've already put a lot of work in UT2004, maybe they want to change the game if they continue rather than doing something so complicated as I proposed.

I said this because I saw most team of modders (for all games) (I don't know about Runestorm team though) making mods so they can be noticed by games company and maybe be hired (and if not noticed, they try making another mod for the last game the company) or they simply do so 'cause they want to have some fun making a mod and bringing something very good to players (thanks to them) then they're a bit tired of it so they completely stop and you never hear from them again.

Once again, I really don't know, as I said, it's all a "guess" :d

Actually leaning is possible. I remember that the Paintball mod had leaning added in, and that worked with all my custom models. Was quite fun, except I didn't like the paintball aspect (AKA, the entire thing except leaning).

That would be interesting. Crouch + sprinting?

Speaking of stances, we should have a "Last Stand" stance like in COD4 :P.

Yeah, that was fun addition, but it will only have some meaning in conflict, in death match it is much faster to just die and respawn.

It makes no sense to create a major update for a game that is quickly dying because of the now available sequel. He got a point you know.

Their next step will possibly be a UT3 port of BW, what will come after that is a secret.

Yup, that's what I was thinking !sad

But who knows what they are planning ? !amazed
Anyway, they do great works and I praise them for that ! !lol

bjossi, thats not what i was trying to get across.
i was just saying that even though they are not trying to release a major update, RS will give it their best with all of the content they release.

and, if they do port it to UT3. good, my computer and maybe even PS3 will be happy.

Well, personnaly, I was stating it would be a major update difficult to add in BW and UT2004 getting old !sad so maybe they won't have the will to put that much work in my idea (or maybe they would think to do it if the community gets all together and acknowledge the stance idea).

Runestorm team always do a great job (and always did, only mod team that never disapointed me in anyway + I never saw a team of modders working so fast !amazed ), I don't think I will be ever afraid of their ideas for a mod.

I must say I was a bit scared with Junkwar at the begining but in the end I was totaly amazed !amazed
They made a fantastic job with a base idea that I WAS THINKING was really the worst !

!lol Praise Runestorm team forever !lol

I would love stances, but it is rather difficult from a coding standpoint. Modifying the existing code of UT2k4 is rather easy it seems. Actually adding new code? Not so much. As for a Last Stand, it would be difficult to code, but would be a fun option for no-respawn gametypes, such as Invasion. Getting crippled by a bunch of Flood and then taking em all to hell with ya with a few detonators would be epic :p

Yup, but it was just an idea :d
I knew from the start this would not happen actually !lol
