top 16 needed improvements (Duma's pipedream ;> ) // Wishlistchris barneyNov 4, 1998, 3:15pm
Some of these are just pipe dreams, but hey!
1. Fog (even cheep VRML like fog)... it could corraspond to visability so insted of vanishing objects they dissapeared into the fog. It woulden't be right in every world but it would work better than the transperant hills in Oct31. 2. Real reflections. (it would slow down the fr etc, I know but I still want it ;) ) 3. Lighting sources (w/ color, type, intensity, etc.) 4. Quakelike mouselook. 5. Option to make avitars behind objects not visible. 6. 3dfx support 7. Object scripting controled by VRT colck. (w/ interpolation like VRML) Thinl of the moving suns, buildings opening and closing depending on the time of the day, (combined with fog for) visibility changes during day/night, (combined with light sources for) flickering torches, day and night. etc, etc, etc!!!!! 8. Shadows, ok even QIII isn't going to do it so I don't really expect it but I still want it:) 9. Darkness below ground level (combined with lightsources/teleports for) torchlit hallways and caves. 10. Object clipping, 11. Better chat facilitys ie channels, ajustable range of "hearing" (blocked by walls etc.) 12. Streaming Audio...(it would be nice for those of us with high bandwidth) Think rt audio chat, and heaven forbid non MIDI soundtracks!! :) 13. Sound controles, range of hearing, volume, blockable by objects... (another big one I guess :) ) 14. World catagories, fantisy, chat, realistic, buisness, puzzle focused. 15. boolian scripting comands if, or, and (see example in 16) 16. Takeable objects, that is objects that any user can move, take with them, within the world, etc. This might necessitate an invintory. It would alow for more complex puzzles (ie. combined with a few new action comands: if iron key is in inventory action solid off, visible off; ) etc. vetoNov 13, 1998, 3:29am
