How about adding an option for servers and/or clients to record multi view demo in Xonotic? By multi view demo I mean demo files in which POV can be easily switched between players.

Quake World developers managed to do so already. Here's their source code: https://github.com/QW-Group/mvdsv
I'm aware that Xonotic has a different code but I am just posting it as a reference.

Do you have any plans to add something like that to the game?]]>

Class Ideas:
  • Scout - can move fast, use grapling hook
  • Rocketman - can shoot aoe rockets and do rocket jumps without taking damage from own rockets
  • Demoman - can create traps with explosives
  • Engineer - can build turrets, health dispensers, etc
  • Medic - has weapons that heal allies
  • Spy - can turn invisible, diguise as the enemy, sabotage enemy engineer buildings, etc
  • Heavy - Can tank a lot of damage but moves slow, great when working with medic
  • Sniper - snipes people

    A tweak that might be fun if it was possible to code would be having the amount of momentum you have when you hit the button actually transfer into how fast the cart goes, so coming at the cart button fast and hard is better than just camping the bombcart and stomping the button with no speed built up.

    In general, maybe weapons and health would be out at the edges of the level so players would have to balance getting items and weapons with protecting the cart in the center of the level.

But the "3 Frags Left" etc. announcements are not considered time-critical by this code, and even seem to have a lower priority than other announcements, and come after other achievements by the same shot (such as Impressive). However, the x Frags Left announcements can be time-critical in a close game, and are more important than most other announcements.

    Suggestions:
    • The simplest: If the same shot results both in an "x Frags Left" announcement and another announcement such as "Impressive", the "x Frags Left" should come first.
    • "x Frags Left" announcements should be moved to the front of the queue if there are other announcements pending.
    • Any pending "x Frags Left" announcement should be skipped if it's obsolote by the time it would be played. E.g. if you make an impressive shot, and the leader, with 4 frags to go (whether that's you or another player) frags 2 people while "Impressive" is playing, "3 frags left" should be skipped, and only "2 frags left" should be played.

    This is interesting for a few reasons, and I have a few for not liking it, even though at least a few other players seem to welcome the change:
    1. This would be a second raycast weapon in standard play, and that is a bigger change than some of you probably realize. The Vortex is currently the only raycast weapon in standard play, which makes sense, as a physics based sniper is kinda stupid. A constant raycast beam, on the other hand, doesn't feel like you're shooting anything, and is drastically different from any other weapon in the game.
    2. It would make this game look even MORE like Quake, which is (hopefully) not the point. Shouldn't we be unique here?

    In the end, it doesn't really matter, and I'm sure nobody will listen to this, but they are both weapons that do similar things, one just feels like it belongs in Xonotic more than the other.

    If you have any thoughts or comments, discussion is welcome. I don't have as much experience as some of the people playing this since it was called Nexuiz, but I feel like I know it well enough to realize that this change wouldn't be a good one.]]>

    You use laser or Nex to push other players into the avoid to score, but neither weapons causes direct damages.

    This could potentially be part of the official mode. Thoughts?

    By the way, anybody knows which git branch has this game mode?]]>

    I am a nub at CTS but am kinda enjoying it lately -- what I am missing as a tool for improvement is some kind of personal ghost to race against, as e.g. in Trackmania. I know there are checkpoints etc., but a ghost shows better where exactly I overtake myself, how fast I am relative to my best run etc., intuitively without having to look at numbers during a run. It wouldn't even have to be a full animated player model, just some kind of arrow showing my best run position in real time or something. This would 100% improve the mode for me.

    Would someone be able to implement this? Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I haven't found a thread about it. Anyway, thanks for all your work, it's awesome.]]>

    My draft of the rules is this:
    1. First a game of chess is played.
    2. Then a Xonotic duel is played.
    3. Then another game of chess is played with switched colors (palyer who played black is now white and vice versa). Time controls of chess should be such as to make the whole chess section last about the same time as duel, e.g. 3 minutes per side (2.5 mins is probably too fast).
    4. Score is assigned like this:
      • For chess each game is worth 100 points. If a player wins, he gets the 100, if it's a draw, both get 50.
      • Duel is worth 200 points. The player who wins gets 100 + the percentage of remaining 100 that corresponds to the ratio of final score, the loser gets the rest of the points.
    I already tried this with Kyle, was pretty fun. I won the duel 29:7, he won both chess games, so he won 220 vs 180.
    The rules should probably be tuned better etc., but it's a start.
