[Answered] Improving on !frostdefend [ZE]

[Inception]

After contemplating on how to make !frostdefend better on my 1 hour commute to school everyday.

Cant do HW on a shaky ass bus or study

Heres what I propose :

 

-Giving the Leader a Bullet Tracer (preferably a visible color like green)

PROS: Helps with newer people on what to shoot and where to shoot

(Ex. Maps like Santa where Lv4 invisibility may confuse some people on where to shoot)

CONS: May cause lag and/or additional download times but a visible color like green should be fine

 

-Radio Commands made louder / (or change colors?)

(Some people may be more experienced than others but don't have access to a mic or prefer not to speak like my bois luigi,vinz,and bukkake. Would give our silent leaders an easier time pressing 2 buttons than typing out command in chat that people won't see.

 

-Additional Commands

!shoot (time) Next bullet you shoot will leave a marker on the ground or wall that will indicate where to shoot

(would be good for bosses like fapescape,predator,lilapanic where you have a split defend against zombies and the boss)

(or good for breaking things like at sorrento, shroomforest bosses)

(good backup if the leader is defending for something to break or there are unexpected AI's like in santa/aesthetic)

 

!gohere (time) Next bullet you shoot will leave a marker on the ground that will indicate which direction to go

(would be good for those with !frostcog since they're the ones at the front and can tell people to go a different direction if a person has to do a split in order to trigger a lever or such)

(good on maps like skyrim, santa, fapescape, frost drake, exorath, or wanderers)

 

Commands would be hard to troll with as admins can only place these.

 

Might need to get source code from Paul to add these changes if this were accepted

I also feel like the "silent leaders" in chat should get more visible chat. As they'd use chat, they'd need it to stand out from the usual plebs. Maybe when leader give them a red (LEADER) tag in chat? Something similar to make them more visible, but there would be the risk of people copying them trying to look like the leader or something. Not sure what you could do but something like this would be good.

Real ZE nerds think about ZE 24/7, sleep ZE, eat ZE, shit ZE.

Nice suggestions man

I think just one color tracer would be good but i am not sure if you can setup the plugin with just one color

One way around people copying this would be to display their radio commands or a seperate command to type in a similar notification to the map vote countdown. Something like !lead (message). Again cannot be really abused since admins can only set these and can be taken away if any trolls ever get it somehow.

 

Im pretty sure theres a way to change fontsize and color

If @Black Rain can share the source code I can look into adding tracers... (does not require any downloads and lag would be minor)

 

As for the other commands, I think they would be superfluous, tracers would do the job.

that's what they do in syndicate gaming, seems to work fine actually

As Liam cos I don't give away the source without author's approval ;p

Why would you ever need to make changes to !frostdefend when you can just play audio clips of Zolix?

[Inception]

Going to bump this since its gonna be buried three pages back but has there been any progress in giving the sourcecode to wesker so he can add tracers or implement the possible commands?
