When backstabbing, the animation would be a fast thrust much like a fencing thrust.

If we wanted to go further (which would be A C E if possible)... We could even add in a twist of the knife to make it look even more deadly. Imagine this: The spy backstabs someone with a thrust.. the thrust immediately kills the player, and then the spy quickly twists the knife (right handed thrust, so the knife and hand would turn 90 degrees clockwise in an exaggerated style) and as soon as the twist has ended, the corpse explodes into meaty gibs. That would be the ultimate in satisfaction. Deliciously evil.

When doing "everything else", the animation would be the current animation.

Also, one for the future possibly (as in ignore for now), but upon killing someone with the knife, it could get blood all over it and the spy wipes it off with his glove or a cloth. That'd look... evil. -- [[User:Defrag|Defrag]] 16:01, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

==Special==
* Backstabs with the knife ignore armour when calculating damage. Backstabs are a one-hit instant kill.
* Backstabs kills are silent.

==Context Sensitive Animation==
* Slashing at an enemy whose back is not exposed, or attacking anything that does not qualify as a backstab (fresh air, hitting walls, sentries etc) results in the generic wild slashing animation being played. The slash is simply a flailing, cutting motion.
* Being in position for a backstab when attacking results in the stab animation being played. The stab is a fast thrust.
* The only difference between the two modes of operation is the animation. The result and damage is the same. See the discussion tab for a potential further extension on this behaviour.

Game Type:Counter-Attack

2006-08-10T23:38:49Z

Defrag:

Counter-Attack is a game mode in which two teams (or more) generally have one goal. For the blue team, this may be capturing flags or taking points, and for the red team this may be stopping the blues capturing or taking points. The blues are awarded points for achieving their objective every capture (or whatever is appropriate) while the reds primarily score by denying the blue team.

However, the twist is that, every so often, the red team gets an opportunity to counter-attack and achieve a goal of their own. This could be setting off a nuke by having two players simultaneously pressing two buttons, capturing a point of their own, detpacking something and so on.

The game mode is essentially about balancing each team's strategies to eek out the best score. This could be achieved by going full defense and passing up the counter-scoring opportunity or taking an aggressive counter-attacking strategy.

Example: Blue has to take flags from their base into the red central area and capture them on the podium. Blue flag runners move at half speed. Each capture is worth 5 points to the blue team. The red team score 1 point for every 30 seconds that passes without a capture taking place. If the blue team fail to score for three minutes, a new route opens up around the back of the blue base that exposes blue's reactor core. If the red guys manage to detpack it, they get 20 points extra. The route remains open for 3 minutes.

You could do a lot with this type of thing but it would require quite a bit of playtesting to get the balance right.

Movement:Trimping

2006-08-02T23:39:23Z

Defrag:

=Content=

Trimping is a movement skill that causes a player in possession of horizontal velocity on an incline to 'pop' upwards. The distance of the additional vertical movement (hereby known as a trimp) is dependent on two things when the trimp is initiated:

* The player's horizontal velocity
* The gradient of the slope with respect to the player's direction of travel

If the slope is facing away from the player (i.e. the player is travelling downhill) then the trimp code works in reverse -- the player loses height and increases in horizontal speed.

If in the middle of a [[Movement:Ramp Slide|Rampslide]], a player should not be able to trimp, as the combination is too powerful for offence. The player should make a choice when hitting the ramp, then must stick with that choice.

Talk:Grenade:Napalm

2006-08-01T06:34:50Z

Defrag:

Should napalm set buildables on fire? At the moment I don't think we've got it set up to be possible, but it's something to discuss.

The main reason I say this is the napalm damage structure and design is that a flying flame will do a set amount of damage once, stick to a victim and be removed from the world.

Since buildables don't go on fire, then it doesn't make sense to remove an airborne flame on it coming into contact with a buildable. If it hits a buildable then there's quite a few possibilities:

* 1. Hits the buildable, does the regular amount of damage for an airborne flame, is removed from the world and doesn't set the buildable on fire. Looks stupid because it is hurting the buildable but there's no visual cue that it's being burnt.

* 2. Hits the buildable, does zero damage, isn't removed from the world. Falls to the ground and then starts damaging buildable with the lower damage rate. Looks weird because why would an airborne flame not hurt it, but a ground-based flame would?

* 3. Hits the buildable, does the regular amount of damage for an airborne flame, isn't removed from the world and doesn't set the buildable on fire. Dumb because it may strike the buildible multiple times in the period that it takes for the flame to fall to the ground (as it's not being removed). This would probably result in an instantly destroyed buildable.

* 4. Hits the buildable, does the regular amount of damage for an airborne flame, is removed from the world and sets the buildable on fire. Probably the idea solution? May require more coding so that buildables can support flames.

I'd probably go for number four. We'll also have to figure out how we're doing napalm damage for non-buildable objects that can take damage (like func_breakables and destroyable props). It'll be the same problem if an airborne flame can hurt something multiple times. We could possibly solve this by making an airborne flame only able to damage the same object once.

This.. comment is confused. You programmer dudes probably have some elegant solution up your sleeves.

Class Ability:Disguise

2006-07-31T01:27:25Z

Defrag: /* Friendly Indicators */

=Content=

The [[Class:Spy|Spy's]] special ability opens the disguise menu.

==Conditions==
Spies attempting to disguise should:
* Not be carrying any goals (standard flags, keys etc) that prevent disguising from taking place. This should be LUA-controlled as some maps allow disuising while carrying flags.

==Disguise Menu==
From the disguise menu, players can choose the team colour and class to disguise as.

On maps featuring two teams, there are two options: Enemy or Friendly. Choosing one of these options then opens the class menu where the player can complete their selection.

E.g. Enemy->Spy. Friendly->Scout. Enemy->HWGuy.

On maps featuring more than two teams, there are n colour options, where n is the number of teams. After choosing a team colour, the class disguise menu opens allowing the player to choose their complete disguise.

E.g. Blue->Soldier. Red->Scout. Green->Spy. Yellow->Sniper

On regular maps, spies should not be allowed to disguise as civilians. We could add this functionality in for non-regular maps where the civilian class is used for something and spies are also permitted (for example, a assassination map where the prez has a decoy). If maps feature class restrictions (e.g. no demos), then the spy disguise options should reflect those restrictions as disguising as a class that is disabled is basically useless. This isn't hugely important, but it should be added at some point.

'''Needs Updated with the radial menu'''

==Timing==
* Changing from one team's colours to another team's colours takes 3 seconds.
* Changing from one class disguise to another also takes 3 seconds.

===Stacking Disguise Commands===
* Performing multiple simultaneous commands results in no time-savings. I.e. the commands' timing run consecutively as opposed to concurrently.
* Performing one command, waiting for a period and then performing a second command results in the commands overlapping, but again no time is saved. E.g. if a blue, undisguised spy chooses the blue soldier disguise, then two seconds later chooses to change colours to red, the last 1 second of the soldier disguise routine will be added to the new red disguise command. This means two things:
** A: The '''total''' time of the full disguise (blue spy -> red soldier) will be 6 seconds.
** B: The time to finish the disguise from issuing the red team disguise command will be 4 seconds as 2 seconds of the soldier disguise has already elapsed meaning 1 second remains, so this is added to the new red team disguise command, taking a further 3 seconds. 1 + 3 = 4.

===Special Cases===
* If the spy's class disguise is unchanged, changing back to the default team's colours is instant. E.g. A blue spy with red team colours can switch back to being a blue spy instantly.
* If the spy's team colour is unchanged, changing back to the default class disguise is instant. E.g. A blue spy with a blue soldier disguise can change back to being undisguised instantly.

The above conditions are in place because a spy could simply achieve the same effect (going back to the default colour and class) by attacking.

==Friendly Indicators==
When a spy is viewed by an allied teammate and the spy is disguised as one of the '''enemy''' team, a visual indicator should be displayed. (I.e. this indicator only shows up when the friendly spy is disguised as a non-friendly. If the spy is undisguised or wearing the colours of an allied team the indicator is '''not''' displayed). The indicator could simply be something like a team coloured "F" sprite being placed over the spy's head (so blue spies would have a blue F and so forth, regardless of the disguise currently employed). If a spy cumulatively receives 50 or more damage from a teammate, warning text and an audible "Ceasefire, I'm on your team!" sound effect should play to further reinforce the fact that the player is a teammate.

==Disguise Fools Buildables==
When disguised as a member or ally of the team to which a buildable belongs, the spy is ignored. Sentry guns do not track disguised spies. Dispensers cannot warn their owners of a disguised spy's presence even if the spy touches the dispenser.

==Player Identification==
When placed under an enemy's crosshair, the spy's name should show up as one the team members found on the team the spy is masquerading as. The name should preferably never correspond to that of the person who's looking at the spy and trying to identify him unless no other option is available (i.e. the disguise team has one member, so no other options exist). The health value should always be positive, and the armour value sensible. E.g. a scout with 10 health will generally always have 0 armour, as the scout's armour depletes faster than his health. Believable armour values could be calculated by applying the [[:Category:Armour|Armour]] absorption ratios relative to the class' remaining health values and associated armour type.

==Class Identification and 3rd Person Weapons==
When spies are disguised, they should display the relevant weapon in the third person view. TFC's spy was inflexible, as the spy could only equip one weapon in third person mode. This made spies very easy to spot in many instances.

The spy possesses four weapon slots (1,2,3 and 4), so there's enough choice to assign each slot a corresponding weapons slot with the disguised class (excluding the demoman's detpack and the engineer's buildables, as those are special cases).

For example, when disguised as the soldier:

Actual weapon / Weapon shown in 3rd person
*Slot1: Knife / Crowbar
*Slot2: Tranq / Single-barrelled Shotgun
*Slot3: Double-barrelled Shotgun / Double-barrelled Shotgun
*Slot4: Nailgun / RPG

This allows the spy to blend in more easily.

==1st Person Weapons==

When disguised, the spy's weapon viewmodel is unaffected by the disguise. Instead, the HUD shows an icon indicating what the 3rd person disguise weapon will appear to be.

E.g. If the spy is disguised as a soldier and is using slot 4, the nailgun viewmodel is held as normal and a HUD icon showing the RPG is displayed. This means the spy is, in reality, holding the nailgun but other players will see the spy as a soldier holding the RPG.

==Speed Toggle==
The player should be able to toggle between disguised speed and full speed using a bound key or a cvar. The HUD should indicate whether disguise speed or full speed is activated. Firing or losing disguise should obviously be a condition for the disguised speed to become reset to full speed regardless of the user's settings, as there is no advantage to running slowly when stripped of the disguise. If activated, the disguised speed should also be applied when disguised as a friendly class, as it is sometimes preferable to make the enemy think you're playing as another class. The disguised speed should obviously only apply when disguised as classes slower than the spy, as disguising as a scout shouldn't make you run faster than default.

The indicator could simply be something like a team coloured "F" sprite being placed over the spy's head (so blue spies would have a blue F and so forth, regardless of the disguise currently employed). If a spy cumulatively receives 50 or more damage from a teammate, warning text and an audible "Ceasefire, I'm on your team!" sound effect should play to further reinforce the fact that the player is a teammate.

==Disguise Fools Buildables==
When disguised as a member or ally of the team to which a buildable belongs, the spy is ignored. Sentry guns do not track disguised spies. Dispensers cannot warn their owners of a disguised spy's presence even if the spy touches the dispenser.

==Player Identification==
When placed under an enemy's crosshair, the spy's name should show up as one the team members found on the team the spy is masquerading as. The name should preferably never correspond to that of the person who's looking at the spy and trying to identify him unless no other option is available (i.e. the disguise team has one member, so no other options exist). The health value should always be positive, and the armour value sensible. E.g. a scout with 10 health will generally always have 0 armour, as the scout's armour depletes faster than his health. Believable armour values could be calculated by applying the [[:Category:Armour|Armour]] absorption ratios relative to the class' remaining health values and associated armour type.

==Class Identification and 3rd Person Weapons==
When spies are disguised, they should display the relevant weapon in the third person view. TFC's spy was inflexible, as the spy could only equip one weapon in third person mode. This made spies very easy to spot in many instances.

The spy possesses four weapon slots (1,2,3 and 4), so there's enough choice to assign each slot a corresponding weapons slot with the disguised class (excluding the demoman's detpack and the engineer's buildables, as those are special cases).

For example, when disguised as the soldier:

Actual weapon / Weapon shown in 3rd person
*Slot1: Knife / Crowbar
*Slot2: Tranq / Single-barrelled Shotgun
*Slot3: Double-barrelled Shotgun / Double-barrelled Shotgun
*Slot4: Nailgun / RPG

This allows the spy to blend in more easily.

==1st Person Weapons==

When disguised, the spy's weapon viewmodel is unaffected by the disguise. Instead, the HUD shows an icon indicating what the 3rd person disguise weapon will appear to be.

E.g. If the spy is disguised as a soldier and is using slot 4, the nailgun viewmodel is held as normal and a HUD icon showing the RPG is displayed. This means the spy is, in reality, holding the nailgun but other players will see the spy as a soldier holding the RPG.

==Speed Toggle==
The player should be able to toggle between disguised speed and full speed using a bound key or a cvar. The HUD should indicate whether disguise speed or full speed is activated. Firing or losing disguise should obviously be a condition for the disguised speed to become reset to full speed regardless of the user's settings, as there is no advantage to running slowly when stripped of the disguise. If activated, the disguised speed should also be applied when disguised as a friendly class, as it is sometimes preferable to make the enemy think you're playing as another class. The disguised speed should obviously only apply when disguised as classes slower than the spy, as disguising as a scout shouldn't make you run faster than default.

Movement:Double Jump

2006-07-22T09:30:08Z

Defrag: /* Conditions */

=Content=

The double jump is a name given to a quick series of two jumps.

==Conditions==

* The second jump must be triggered within 400ms of the previous jump's execution
* If, at the beginning of a regular jump, the player's Z velocity is '''u''' units per second, then the player's Z velocity should be 1.5 * '''u''' per second when initiating a successful double jump. '''This is an initial value and will require tweaking.''' Discussion page for ideas / suggestions -- [[User:Defrag|Defrag]]

Please note that doubling the Z ''velocity'' will '''not''' double the jump ''height'', as gravity affects the calculations.

==Applications==

Double jumps can be performed in a variety of ways. Some examples:

* Jumping from a low area onto higher ground, thus enabling the second jump to occur quickly.

'''Example 1:''' Jump from the flat area below the shutdown2 ramp, then immediately jump into the ramp to trigger the double jump.

'''Example 2:''' Jump onto a box top from the floor then jump immediately once more.
* Jumping against low ceilings or overhead objects to force contact with the ground more quickly.

'''Example:''' Jump under the monkey_l pit ramp, hit the underside of it and then bounce back into the ground, jumping again when touching the ground. Do so in a way that one is no longer under the ramp when performing the second jump.

* Jumping onto a ladder's lower rungs then immediately dismounting and then jumping again once hitting the ground.

'''Example:''' Jump onto the shutdown 2 ramp room ladder, dismount and head towards the elevated switch exit, perform a second jump and bounce up to the elevated switch entrance.

* Double jumps can be combined with bunnyhopping, concs and trimps to form very potent moves.

Double jumps can not be triggered multiple times in a row to create cumulative effects. I.e. no triple or quadruple jumps. We may have to tinker with the order of trimp & double jump velocity being added depending on how effective this is.

In the future, it'd be cool if the Umbrella could be used to do an old skool float (Marry be Poppin'). The civ would use the umbrella to gracefully descend and float through the air (only to be headshotted by a sniper). This would require a lot of animation (both _v and _w) and remodelling of the umbrella. One for the future, but it's on the backburner for now.

This page is for the server settings we need. Strictly speaking it should be divided up between server variables and server commands, but the chances are that the distinction is unecessary. There's fewer commands/vars for the server admins, so let's stick to a single page/category. When adding a new server variable/command, just do it in the same fashion as the cvar/client commands are added. If a svar/command cannot be reasonable described in a sentence or two, create a new page for it using the prefix svar:, categorise the new page using Category:svars and then link to the page using the svar's name. See the ff_teamkillprotect svar for an example if unsure.

FF Commands

2006-07-03T10:30:12Z

Defrag: /* Server */

This page is somewhat hard to categorise. It's for things that can be selected / influenced by the player. Most of the items on this page should have corresponding entries in the [[Menu System]] controls / options page, unless it's an obscure option that is accessible by config only. Common sense should be exercised, as this could get really cluttered. For example, there's no need for ffc_medic_sensitivity, as the player can simply use the sensitivity command and place it in the medic.cfg.

None of the 'traditional' options that are inherent in the HL2 engine should be listed here. By this, I mean movement commands, mouse parameters and so forth. Simply list the '''additional''' things that FF features.

These things are separated (kinda) into a couple of categories, client and server. Client settings are further divided between commands and cvars.

=Some Stuff=

I'll move a lot of this to the discussion page in due course.

As I understand it, cvars are variables and store the client's preferences / setup. Commands are simply things that send something to the engine and cause something to happen as a result.

'''We need a consistent naming scheme''' for ff commands, if possible. I'd like it if server vars/commands unique to ff had a prefix of some sort, like ff_roundtime etc. However, I've noticed that many server commands in the CVS build use the common name like "mp_teamplay".

I discussed this with mirv, and we came to the conclusion that:
* FF Server commands should be prefixed ff_ (much like TFC Server commands were prefixed tfc_)
* FF Client variables ('''NOT''' client commands) should be prefixed ffc_.

The reasoning is simple: It helps both the dev team and the gamer when they are tracking what is available in the mod.

Here's some examples of the stuff that qualifies as commands or cvars (no formatting / naming is used, these are just examples of what goes into each category).

==Examples of Client Commands==
* Discard
* Medic call
* Engineer call

==Examples of Cvars==
* Use slot on spawn (can be set up in class configs, so only one variable is required -- all it stores is the slot number to equip when spawning so the player can choose his or her default weapon per class)
* Quickswitch Settings (allows player to set up two slots / weapons to quickswitch between using a single key -- again, this can be set up in the classname.cfg rather than requiring medic_quickswitch1, medic_quickswitch2 etc)
* Suicide When Changing Class (FF equivalent of "hud_autokill")
* Exec class configs automatically (FF equivalent of TFC command whatever_ec)
* Exec map config automatically (FF equivalent of TFC command whatever_em)

==Examples of Server Commands==
* Restart prematch
* Set Prematch Length
* Set round time
* etc

I haven't fully thought this through yet. We do need a list of all the commands & cvars in the game, though. This page is very very rough, and I haven't finalised its formatting. I'm just jotting down some ideas & stuff without fleshing it out right now.

'''This is more for the programmers to fill out, as they have a better grip on the game's contents than Dos or I do'''.

==Naming Style==

Generally, excluding prefixes, you should avoid underscores in command/variable names unless one word ends in a letter than the next word begins with. For example: ff_waveenergy. This would be better as ff_wave_energy. However, it's always better to try and rename the cvar so this doesn't happen in the first place. ff_waveenergy would become ff_wavepower (or whatever is suitable).

Please see the below categories for adding client/server commands/vars. I figure it's more logical to have separate pages for client/server. Each page has formatting details for writing the commands/vars.

==Client==
* [[Commands:Client|Client]] commands & vars.
==Server==
* [[:Category:svars|Server Commands & Variables]].

Defrag: Client Commands:saveme moved to Client Command:saveme

==General==

This command is used ingame by players to call for help from allied medics and engineers.

==Visual==

* The command "saveme" triggers a red cross symbol over the player who issues the command. Allied medics can see this symbol over other players who trigger the command.

==Textual==

Saveme also triggers a text message requesting health and/or armor based on the players current supply.

* If a player needs health and armor:

"I need health and armor! %h - %a"

* If a player only needs health:

"I need health! %h - %a"

* If a player only needs armor:

"I need armor! %h - %a"

* If a player is infected:

"I am infected and need a medic! %h - %a"

* If a player has full health and armor, saveme should not trigger, instead returning a message to the player that they do not need help.

==Audible==

* The saveme command also plays a wav or mp3 file for allies close by alerting them to the request.

==Other==

* The saveme command can only be called once every 10 seconds. The visual notifier lasts for this same duration. say_team text can only be triggered once every 10 seconds per the commands limit.

* Also to note, there should be a separate wrench model to accompany the medic cross, which will display to allied engineers like the cross does to medics.

Weapon:Incendiary Cannon

2006-06-26T19:51:29Z

Defrag: /* Content */

=Content=

The IC is being changed significantly from the TFC version. The IC projectile is no longer a self-propelled rocket that ignores gravity. Instead, the cannon is now a proper cannon in the traditional sense of the word. The projectile is now an unguided, dense lump of flame which is subject to the forces of gravity. The weapon also provides a kick due to the reactionary force of shooting the projectile.

The values for the speed / range of the IC are just guesses for the moment. The two will obviously be linked, and having some kind of realistic feeling gravitational force is necessary. If one is totally wrong, then the other cannot be correct, either. I.e. it may well just be a case of experimenting with values and seeing how it feels.

==Damage==
* 40 damage per shot
* Same as Flamethrower in that it doesn't distribute between health / armour as normal.
* Causes burn damage as well as the initial damage.

==Splash Range==
* '''x''' units

==Rate of Fire==
* '''x''' shots per second

==Speed of Projectile==
* 1000 units per second

==Ammo==
* [[Ammo:Rocket|Rockets]]

==Range==
* Unlike the TFC version, the IC projectile is NOT propelled. For maximum range, the optimum firing angle will be 45 degrees. At 45 degrees and on flat ground (i.e. shot lands at same elevation as the firing player) the IC can shoot a projectile that travels roughly 2048 units. Experiment with the gravity to achieve this.

==Special==
* Once hit by the IC, the enemy is classed as being [[Status:On Fire|On Fire]].
* Penetrates (very) thin walls and floors. Very thin is defined by 8 units or less.
* Can be used to perform a small IC Jump, moreso in conjunction with other weapons.
* Has a kick. This kick will make the pyro slide in the opposite direction of the shot's trajectory. This can aid players when IC jumping and makes the weapon more gratifying to use.
* When in motion, the IC projectile drops flame particles. The flame particles are less dense and affected by the environment more, so they just drop off the main projectile while taking on a similar velocity (with a slightly lower magnitude). The particles retard more quickly and then float to the ground.
* The particles, if touching a player, do a nominal amount of damage. It's more for a nice effect than anything else.

* Same as Flamethrower in that it doesn't distribute between health / armour as normal.
* Versus soldier (100|200, 0.8 armour) in one hit, it varied between 90|170 and 86|166.
* Causes burn damage as well as the initial damage.

==Speed of Projectile==
* 600 units per second

==Ammo==
* [[Ammo:Rocket|Rockets]]

==Range==
* Probably the same as the [[Weapon:Rocket Propelled Grenade|RPG]].

==Special==
* Once hit by the IC, the enemy is classed as being [[Status:On Fire|On Fire]].
* Penetrates thin walls and floors.
* Can be used to perform a small IC Jump, moreso in conjunction with other weapons.
