[SUGGESTION] Awards/Achivements [Spoilers!]

Hi everyone

I'am thinking of some system for awarding players.
There are awards given during the match (in-game) and those given after the match ends (after). Also there are awards given for all-time player's achievments - those would be tightly connected with the global stats tracking system.

This is just an idea if you think this might be fun - I will carry on thinking of more awards - and I'am counting on your invention too
As you see I have lots of awards missing names, there is room for loads of crazy awards (those are cool!). This is my input - what do you think of it?

In-game awards:

2 frags with one shot - Double Frag
3 frags with one shot - Triple Frag
4 frags with one shot - Quad Frag
5 frags with one shot - Ya must be kiddin' man!

Note that all *highest* in a category awards are ended with a '!' mark - this is a rule!

I like the idea of simple, ingame 'awards', maybe even just funny ones like 'CAMPER', 'CAMPER LEVEL TWO', 'CAMPER LEVEL THREE', 'SPAMTASTIC', 'M-M-M-MONSTER KILLLL', etc, which would work the same as the current ones such as 'ARMAGEDDON!', but I'm against a call-of-duty style awards system where your awards are permanent and take prominence over your name. I don't own a copy of call of duty, but for the few minutes I played it, I became very annoyed with the gigantic messages popping up down the bottom of the screen where the image of their achievement was ten times bigger than their actual name.

I'm not entirely against it, but imho skill in Xonotic should be something gained through a solid playing effort to build up your reputation, rather than just one incredible quad frag (or a cheap hack, as in the case of ping and time related ones). This is when an awards system becomes contrived.

This could be cool. There could be an awards menu with the name of the award, an icon, a short description under it, and clicking/hovering will say when you got the award (date, time).

But please, realistic awards. 5 frags with one shot? Has anyone ever done this? 50 kill spree?

This is like an achievement system. This is already planned I think. I'm sure it was in the dev tracker somewhere.

How about a plink sound (like a piece of metal getting hit) for rifle headshots? and maybe for standard hits just have the bullet impact (the sound made when a shot hits a surface) sound give off some bass? Also I like the idea of putting stuff like "Drunk" next to the pings.

I love funny awards (or achivements) and the whole ide of game is having fun, so...

but I'm against a call-of-duty style awards system where your awards are permanent and take prominence over your name. I don't own a copy of call of duty, but for the few minutes I played it, I became very annoyed with the gigantic messages popping up down the bottom of the screen where the image of their achievement was ten times bigger than their actual name.

That's what I call an 'overdo'. As for permanent awards/achivements I think that makes player more... eh... willing to play and do different things beacuse they like to get awards for doing stuff I do And If they all disapear once the game is over - that would be sad. I'd like (as a player) to be able to check somewhere how many 'Awesomes' did I get, how many 'Headshots' did I make.
As for making those pop-up on the screen - showing them in certian places should be optional. Player should be ale tu configure if he wants his awards to be shown in-game as icons or just text or just voice, Does he want his awards to be shown after the match ends and how. That kinda stuff

For sure there should be a window accesible in the 'Player' settings menu with all achivements done and undone, (how many times each and how long ago), also statictics for weapons. I was thinking of some more or less humorous way to describe player's aming skills:

0-10% - Looser
11-20% - Unskilled
21-30% - Avarage
31-40% - Skilled
41-50% - Dexterous
51-60% - Expirienced
61-70% - Veteran
71-80% - Expert
81-90% - Inhuman
91-100% - Cyborg

I would suggest to use this for describing each weapon and avarage skill level Would also be nice to be able to view all statistics in several modes:

All-time - takes into account all colected data about a player
Last month - takes into account only data from the last month
Last week - as above
Last day - as above

As anybody knows that quoad frag is rather random - this would not make people think you are a master just for that. This 'solid playing effort' would also be shown and described by number of weird achivements theplayer has done, time he spent playing and his aiming skills description. But knowing that someone made a Quad Frag is fun imho

This could be cool. There could be an awards menu with the name of the award, an icon, a short description under it, and clicking/hovering will say when you got the award (date, time).

Exactly! For those In-game a nice announcer's voice would be fun also.

But please, realistic awards. 5 frags with one shot? Has anyone ever done this? 50 kill spree?

I know it is nearly impossible to do some of those, but: If someone finally gets his quad frag - the one in a lifetime - he would be pissed off if the game wouldn't notice it (personally I made only some Double Frags )

This is like an achievement system. This is already planned I think. I'm sure it was in the dev tracker somewhere.

If it is planned - would be good to see what is planned, who is planning and plan together

How about a plink sound (like a piece of metal getting hit) for rifle headshots?

I like it I think that more weapons should be capable of doing headshots. Laser for example. Electro... all the weapons that can be aimed precisely.

and maybe for standard hits just have the bullet impact (the sound made when a shot hits a surface) sound give off some bass?

"Give off some bass"? What do you mean?

Also I like the idea of putting stuff like "Drunk" next to the pings.

Those 'awards' with ping are just an idea... maybe not awards but way for the game to humorously describe some stuff. You connect to a server and the game says: "Today, you have ping like a Mad Lagger!" or something.

about quad frags...
Ronan's 4 in 1 quad frag : )

I agree with unfa, such rarities would be fun 2 be recorded: )

And also, frag sprees, 30 is high, but many ppl reached 40 , 50 ,60 (personally 68) or 111 etc... i would stop the awards at 100 with some tuba announcer : )

But please, realistic awards. 5 frags with one shot?

I feel 5 frags within a few seconds would be a better objective.

Has anyone ever done this? 50 kill spree?

Yes. Find an infinite jetpack, low gravity, all weapons, infinite ammo pub full of newbies, and you can too.

I think that an overdo in this little place is a good thing

I feel 5 frags within a few seconds would be a better objective.

That is what I would call a group of combos or somethn' - they are a bit like sprees with that difference that they expire in time Good suggestion, thanks

Maybe little "how many you can frag in x seconds"? With awards for this. 1 isn't any achivement here This could be connected with Strength pickup. Something like Kill Frenzy from GTA I... what do you think of that?

Please remember that these achievements are not to be taken seriously; a config file will likely store achievement status.

Those 'awards' with ping are just an idea... maybe not awards but way for the game to humorously describe some stuff. You connect to a server and the game says: "Today, you have ping like a Mad Lagger!" or something.

Basically make a hit sound that sounds similar to a shot hitting a surface, but give it some extra bass to indicate that you've hit somebody.

I'm really attached to the plinking sound. I dunno if that should be replaced (if it ain't broke...)

I like the idea of a full achievement system; just this afternoon I was thinking of really stupid ideas for Xonotic achievements.

However, just storing the player's status in a .cfg file is too insecure; ppl will hack that immediately. However, I can't think of any better way to do it off the top of my head.

There already are statistics on some Ne*uiz servers. That could easily be filtered to create awards.

The problem is that this is only on some servers... we 'd like to make it work client-side as well so players are collecting achivements while playing on all public server that have official game balance, am I right?

This can only work server-side (otherwise it's useless), and not all people want to be tracked. In the menu you could set whether you want to enable the Awards System and your client would tell the server whether to track you or not.

If it's just your client collecting your stats, then it would be saved in the particular install only, on that computer/partition/OS.
No matter how you do it, you need a server to collect the data. Either each server has to take stats or one dedicated server where you/servers could upload your stats.

Achievements per server would be stupid. We can either use a central server (same as ident server) or we could just store them client side.

I think it would be very nice if the game says "Amazing" (same one that u get when u kill an invisible player) when u shoot someone in the air moving with a higher speed than a certain value.
also maybe "nice shot" when u shoot someone when both of u are flying in air (this happened many times in evilspace map)
of course I'm assuming minsta.

Archievments per sever would work for me (anyway you should be able to search them with the filter options. Or perhaps show on every server having archievments a small icon in the serverlist).

also maybe "nice shot" when u shoot someone when both of u are flying in air (this happened many times in evilspace map)

This is already done, it's the "amazing" voice.

There could be a whole set of achivements for the minsta mode!!

Gonna think about it.

I'm all for achivements! ;-D

*bump* I'd really love to see achievements in xonotic

Me too, has anyone done anything regarding this feature?

*bump* I'd really love to see achievements in xonotic

I dont know how to explain this without being too harsh.

Maybe like this -1 for being impatient.

I assume you also followed the screenshots of what you are doing thread and noticed the screenshots Antibody posted lately. He and [-z-] are working on a stats system.
This is basically the first step for achievements, if this is finished it might be combined with a achievement system.

and as always keep in mind, no one is working full time on xonotic so this is a lot work.
The XWIT for example was one step in this direction.
