' Wrote:No, it's because physical debris require server interaction, and while they're fine in SP or with 10 people, blow up five caps in one battle in Minor and the server explodes.
The crazy fireball and stuff would be lovely, though, as I said right above you. We don't refuse to do stuff other mods do just because someone else did it first, it's just that an awful lot of the stuff that why485 comes up with generates obscene amounts of server load that we simply can't sustain while there's 200 people on the server.
And again, since apparently you never listen, if anyone is interested in learning to make fireballs like that so that we can put them in, give Kaz a poke.
Why not just ask the guy who made it if you can use/abuse his code ?

Cause that'd be a direct import of someone else's code, something we don't do? We're trying to get rid of imported stuff (namely models), not import more things.
This makes me wish that the vanilla version of the game had the graphic quality of Crysis, so people couldn't complain about their computers crapping when we got shinier toys, because they'd not have crap computers.
Don't say no for the rest of us because your computer is crap, just ask that it be optional. A flat-out no is... well... blargh.

Firstly: *Turns round to adjust underwear to hide erection*
Second: A plan:
We make our own version of sexy explosion-ness, AND:
We have 2 mods for this game: Discovery, and Discovery Client-Side
The discovery one stands as is currently, then the client side one could contain things like the sound mod, awesome explosions etc. so that people with lower-end machines dont have to have it, and upper-end one get all the shiny toys in one package? Nay?

Though, I don't know what use I'd be... I've never even dreamed about modding FL... I mean, I work on my own games in GML (Game Maker Language, a simplified version of C++) but I have no CLUE about real coding... :S
But add me anyways:D
What do people think of the idea of 2 mods though? Revolutionary, and I don't foresee any problems...
