*Good system for custom models?*

[Stanz]

I am sorry if the admins are getting annoyed because theres alot of these posts going around about it now, but I think I have come up with a good idea, Please post your feedback im realy intrested to hear what you think about it even if it is not good...

I have stated this in another forum but I thought I would start a new poll about the idea.

Here goes,

Having a folder for custom players containing a .ini file and any other files that could go with it and having each .ini file (you could have another extension but the .ini idea) having something like:

[ChibiTrunks]
model=ChibiTrunks
soundpack=ChibiTrunks
startpowerlevel=600000
transpowerlevel=850000
move1=kiblast
move2=genbeam
move3=anothermove
move4=anothermove

and others ofcourse I couldnt be arsed to write a whole lot.

As for downloading from another server:
Could be similar to how maps download realy, couldnt it?
Cannot locate model: ChibiTrunks, client will download. Or whateva?
the model file and sound files could be downloaded with it couldnt they, like wad's can be downloaded with the maps?

Atleast, i hope im right, correct me if im wrong.

And if it used a simple ini system like that someone could even create a program to import your model and change the ini settings in program and create something realy decent.

I think it could realy spice things up, What do you think?

Why not have this:
Introduce another class - "Custom". There'd be three slots available to choose from, labelled Custom 1, Custom 2 and Custom 3. The difference between the three is only in the model. Their attacks and transformation levels would be predetermined by the ESF crew. That way, you can hav e a custom character; the only downside is that they probably wouldn't have any unique attacks or powers, but at least you could introduce your own models into the game without replacing anyone important.

because some idiots will make the PL 50000000 from the start. :/

I dont liek the idea, it will require a whole change to the models system, the PL system, etc.

Im just surgesting the idea im not asking for it to be put in the mod.

True about the PL idea, You could set limits or just know theyve done this and leave the server because there stupid enough to do it

I think its an awesome idea, It lets anyone get in on the action of having there own custom players, some bits of codes should be re-written sometimes anyway, to make them better...(Just to clear this up, I dont mean having any sort of ini file for standard players so you can make them better because they need to stay how they are)

Ofcourse you can only use your custom models on a server that the server has them or your own server where everyone else will have to have them...

There is also an idea that you can have defaults for values like starting PL so all custom models cant start too high so you cant make them outrageously powerfull...

I'd still like to hear peoples opinions but I never seem to get many replies, maybe my ideas suck

i don't like the idea really. for those who like to abide by the game is fine, but it is still too open to abuse from ppl and in reality would not work unless u had some sort of power cap or sumthin, like the player customizations for firearms.

if they did have the custom classes it wouldnt be so good,you would have to DL the model as well

and for the PL the team can put a restriction on,since it IS a custom class,so they'd like put a start PL restriction of say.....600,000??And the trans PL would be....around 2,000,000??

just an idea though,but I dont like it
