Gvarados provided us with some nice announcer voicelines (#50) which we can use. These should probably just link to RPC calls, so this issue is technically covered by #48, but I wanted to make it separate because it seems like it's logically an extra feature on top of that.

Spawning a metal block doesn't check whether the player can actually spawn it or not

Recoil strength seems to vary based on ping and is either way too small or breaks the character's neck

Should probably look into re-doing the menus using some of the new Graphics class. I don't think it supports circles yet, but once it does, this would be a good thing to look at doing, rather than trying to hack together a baked texture for every radial wheel

• After EndRound, a map vote is started. A new round class can be created for this.
• This map vote can be brought in from instagib

You can push props through the build wall by just scrolling out a bunch while standing in front of it, maybe we should look into dropping objects if they're being pushed into shit too hard and are way far away from desired position, or clamp the scroll distance if the distance is above a certain amount.

• RPG Rocket trail
• RPG Rocket explosion
• #44
• Muzzle flash (possibly use the Grubs one)
• #45

• Increase health on building blocks to around 15x what they are now
• Increase repair tool repair amount
• Block ownership
  • Block owner above health
  • Only prop owner can move block
• Remove unfreezing - blocks should be static only

• Repair tool has NRE
• Bog roll weapon is broken (needs a refactor): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/940984234124922900/946869114767564830/2022-02-25_14-39-32.mp4
• #49
  • Fallback doesn't work either: the fallback texture is in the wrong place - should be in the UI textures folder
• Glows only render when around 256 units away or nearer; should be much further
• Muzzle flashes are missing textures

This shouldn't be possible. Ideally we should have some sort of trigger or brush that prevents this from happening, where blocks are not spawnable and will self-destruct if they enter these areas.

• Get rid of the gaps between the two sides (where the wall is)
• Fix the weird stuff you bump into near bases (widen the path a bit)
• Increase wall collision height so that people can't build over it (might need to add a clip to the top of the entire level?)

I was thinking a remover tool that only works on your own blocks, so you can have a situation where you spawn a block, it's the wrong size for the hole you're trying to plug, you can delete it and pick a larger one

Could make it a thing that costs time, like make it damage the block over time and slowly destroy it, so there's a penalty for fucking up your block spawn but it's not costing you extra materials

Could just use the USP model for now, maybe make it a blowtorch model later idk something damaging

Oh right also, maybe add a delay/overflow on spawning props, if a player spawns more than like 3 in a short timespan give them a cooldown of like 5-10 seconds.

• New name tags (component-based)
• Hitmarkers don't show correctly on some clients
• Flag icons on compass always display even if flag is not home
• Better chat
• Damage indicators
• Icons for metal blocks are always blue
• Re-work kill feed
• Need some indicator to show whether flag is home or not
• #48
  • Should hook into an XP system

This might fit here, the flag needs a more clear return cycle, part of it is particle work but some of it might also be UI work for conveying how far along the flag is to respawning and this being a little bar would also show it returning faster when you're in the flag's return zone.

• Add return zone so teams can actively return and defend/hold the flag on the floor
• Show some sort of UI meter/bar instead of debug timer visual
• Clear pickup sound
• Clear capture sound
• Clear drop sound
• Clear taken sound

Weapons:

• USP (pistol)
• SMG II (submachine gun)
• TRJ (revolver)
• block manipulator (custom physgun)
• AX50 (sniper)
• RPG (rocket launcher)
• UTS15 (shotgun)
• KSR1 (assault rifle)

Blocks:

• Wood
• Metal
• #39
• #38

Props:

• Store touchscreen
• Bogroll (With viewmodel)
• Repair tool
• Medkit
• Deployable ammo

Possibly just show the icons in multiple rows or show 4 random ones instead of the full list every time

• SMGII - Shooting, reloading
• #41
• USP - Shooting, reloading
• TRJ - Shooting, reloading
• AIAX50 - Shooting, reloading
• KSR1 - Shooting, reloading
• #42
• #43
• Shop - general UI interaction sounds
• CTF sounds, flag grab, capture, drop, return
• #40

Multiple people have had issues with UI flickering, it's visible in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RsbNPE6saA video

• Inventory slots are often randomly ordered on player spawn
• Reload weapon automatically when it's empty and you try to fire
• Remove blocks from disconnected players
  • Only do this if a timer reaches a certain threshold; if not, re-assign all those blocks to newly joined client instance
• Remove team balancing or balance it in a way that players get all their blocks back when balanced
• Adjust & balance sniper scope, needs to be easier to use
• Give maps a fw_config entity that allows them to configure block limits, player limits, spawn timers, etc.
• Make Team-specific force fields actually work and stop bullets/players
• Only let people change class when they're in the spawn room
• #30
• Option to delete blocks you've placed
• Investigate dedicated server performance after several level changes
• Add 2fort to map pool

Animations aren't frozen properly with some guns (see SMGII) and often the iron sights for the gun don't line up with the center of the screen, meaning that players can't hit their shots properly.

We need RPC messages for:

• Flag captured
• Flag returned
• Player killed (+ medals?)
• Round started
• Round ends in 3... 2... 1...

Sniper scope doesn't work right: performance is bad, HUD flickers, weapon renders in scene when it shouldn't

Halo-style grenades could be a useful addition for taking down forts and dealing splash damage.

Ideal implementation:

• Grenades are stored separately from inventory, almost as if they were a resource.
• The G key (+iv_drop / InputButton.Drop) should be used to throw a grenade.
• When throwing a grenade, a first-person throwing animation should be played, and the actual grenade throw should be delayed until a point in this animation where the grenade leaves the viewmodel's hand.
• Players are given two grenades upon spawning. They can be replenished through ammo packs.

Possible references:

• https://github.com/Facepunch/dm98/blob/master/code/Entities/Weapons/GrenadeWeapon.cs
• https://github.com/Facepunch/dm98/blob/master/code/Entities/HandGrenade.cs

• Remove or greatly reduce screen shake on all weapons
• RPG has no killer name in kill feed
• Remove team killing
• Player outlines should only exist on enemies and should be red

You can still melt a block with the SMG, I feel like it needs a nerf.
And the RPG might be nice having a buff in damage.

needs fix

• Repair tool can be used to kill own team
• Announcer is annoying (remove?)
• Missing material for rocket launcher explosion
• Spawn forcefields have a weird delay when passing through
• Ammo and health kits do not work
• Give ammo and health kits team indicators
• Glow shader is now gone, needs replaced
• Switch voice prox to global, better voice UI
• Walking sound
• Music
• Team auto balancing
• Fix chat
• Nerf the rpg
• Weird movement sometimes when walking on spawned blocks
• Muzzle flash too big - it's impossible to see who you're spraying down while firing

feature ideas

• Rework ammo and health kits to be more like BF2042
• Jump pads that only work for your own team (strategic placement to allow your team to jump over your own obstacles)

Currently props just fall forever if they fall off the map- this needs fixing. Either make it use the kill trigger or add some sort of fall detection that makes it de-spawn after x seconds of falling?

• Crosshair customization
• Togglable aiming down sights
• Aiming sensitivity multiplier
• Camera field of view

We could do with adding fall damage to the players in order to nerf rocket jumping.

Just a command to initiate global map votes for if rounds go on too long, probably need like 75% of the users playing to agree that it needs to happen or something, saying !rtv or !mapvote maybe
