Maybe he did some things you ask for, idk, im no mapper, you can play his map.

I tried it, and I really dig the idea, but in the end, it reassured me even more that we could definitely use some logic entities. Unfortunately, we are limited to pressing/shooting random shit, if we want to make puzzles, for now.

I totally F1 to that, the more and more we add, the more and more people will make crazy ideas

Earlier, I was talking with one of my clanmates about the possibilities. He said "program sudoku in UrT" and I was like "haha, no". Then I realized it would probably become possible, but I would not attempt it (with fixed initial values, maybe). Also coming from this conversation is the idea to engage two players in a match of tic-tac-toe, which on the other hand, I'd totally try. The entity limit could become a real problem with things like these, though.

Shameless self-bump of justice because:

This is an unfortunate development. As a member of the Dev Team he could have fulfilled all of the great ideas he had for the game. He could have gotten help from the more experienced coders when he ran into problems like he did with Gungame and his new logic entities for maps. None of his projects have been finished despite help being readily available.

So, does the news mean this is no longer a thing?

[uJ|Driller]

I think any FS coder can take over his job, i hope.

[<PWC>YAY5637]

it was mentioned that these things were personal projects and thus will most likely not be continued.
I think it was in IRC

Maybe if theres enough support for this idea it will get another chance

so it's support it needs then? as Alcoholic stated this may allow mappers to show more creativity in their maps, which means new ways of playing, possibly new gameplay (does anyone remember what the assault mode in urt is? worked good in the first unreal tournaments imo)

and if the fs coders are overbooked is there a way to release what b1naryth1ef did? some wannabe coders may want to have a look at it...

He signed a Contributor's Agreement so we can look at it and finish it in the future. We're a little busy atm.

So, yeah, I don't know if any of this is being considered still but it has already been implemented in Quake 3... As Alcoholic pointed out to me:

Hell, there's even gravity entities, and probably more:

<Alcoholic> there's _script
<Alcoholic> and _logic
<Alcoholic> and _modify
<Alcoholic> modify and disable are all gold in themselves
<Alcoholic> modifying door angle and speed on the run
<Alcoholic> powering off doors

I guess at this point it's all a matter of if you want or not...
Clear, this is for you!

We'll look into it. I've added it to the community request list.
