TODO for QuakeForge
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This file contains a (very incomplete) list of things we are doing and
|
|
considering doing in the QuakeForge project. If you'd like to make
|
|
additions or corrections to this list, pleas send an email with details to
|
|
quake-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
This file is divided into several generally broad categories, plus a group
|
|
for unsorted ideas. New ideas will probably go into unsorted until we
|
|
determine the factors involved with implementation and move them. Each
|
|
idea has a status flag and may also have a list of people currently
|
|
working on it and an estimate as to when it'll be done. An explanation of
|
|
the flags:
|
|
|
|
* Being implemented now
|
|
+ We know how we'll implement it, but it hasn't been started yet
|
|
- We don't yet know how we'll implement it, but we'll probably
|
|
do it at some point if we can
|
|
? Don't know if we'll do it, how we'll do it, or exactly what'd
|
|
be involed with doing it yet.
|
|
0 This cannot be done (you won't see many of these)
|
|
|
|
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: Because the merge is still in progress, we haven't even
|
|
looked yet at how we'll do a number of these things yet.
|
|
That doesn't mean we don't want to or can't implement them,
|
|
but rather that we're too busy working on the internal
|
|
framework necessary to support most of these nifty features
|
|
later on. The merge is our release goal for 0.2 and we are
|
|
convinced it can be finished before then.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Add a wind engine
|
|

|
|
- Real skies (using wind/fog engines)
|
|
- Remove many arbitrary limits by using dynamic memory
|
|

|
|
|
Gameplay-altering mods:
|
|
|
|
+ Implement a "feign death" action
|
|
+ Implement climbable objects (ladders, vines)
|
|
+ Allow support for fire (ie torches) to burn
|
|

|
|

|
|
- Flowing water that can be spilled out
|
|
