Snails Update Ideas


Snails Update Ideas

Postby Me » Aug 14, 2004 @ 2:14am

Ok, I have several ideas that I want to share with you.

1. I would like to see a targeting rectile instead of a regular, "launching" arrow for guns.

2. I would like to see more animations for the idle snails (Like the Lupeez making a present.)

3. I would like to buy things other than weapons (like shields.)
a. Things I would like: '
~Shields- gives snails extra health and lasts through the game; applies to one snail.

~Cloaking devices- gives the snail/s the abbility to be invisible; would take a turn to activate and a turn to deactivate. Could use over and over. Applies to whole team. you could not fire while cloaked

~A Jet pack- would give the snail the abbility to fly to spots that snail air flight would not allow you to go. You would fire it, then fly. 15 sec. time limit. Applies to one snail

~A "Digger"- would allow the snail to dig, 1 time use, applies to one snail.

~A Weapons Tamper Kit (W.T.K)- would allow you to adjust the accuracy, firepower, shots fired, and speed of the gun. ex-Say you adjust the firepower of the gun. Everything else would decrease.


I would also like to have an info button. You click the button, then click the snail.
It then will bring up a window, and pause the game, to give you detailed information about that snail: name, picture ID, information, Health, and maybe, Inventory.

I think it would also be cool if you could go into the shell. Thus, you get a 50% health increase and be impervious to air strikes.

I also think that the snails should have special abbilities unique to the race. For instance, Nooginz have tougher weapons (only example.)

One last thing (I think.) It would be cool if you could select between snails by clicking on them.

Suggestions? Comments?

Jetpack: I made something like that. But you can only go straight to one way with or without gravity:

This is for people knowing how to change their Snailsgame:

1. Open weapons.dat

2. Search for SnailAirFlight

3. Remove [AIRDROPPED]

4. And if you want you can remove [GRAVITY] too. WARNING!!! If you fire that into the air, you can't undo that. Your Snail will fly at the top of your display doing nothing. You could build in [TIMED]. That would help. BUT: I think with the new Snails update there are no problems because now you can leave the game by pressing the "Home-Button" (or how would you call it :) ).

Greetings!
Pookie(who is wondering if this is understandable)

I had a look at Traut's weaponpack. I had the same idea like him with that Jetpack.

I was even trying to make a driller. But that didn't work. I'm not sure why.

Yeah, that seemed a bit unnecessary. :?

Guys, it's JAYBOT. He does this kinda stuff, that's why he's cool.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
