• Hello, I have visited almost everyday the Urban Terror website, looking for news of the new version of Urban Terror(hd).
  
• But that's not the point, the question is what do we (community) can help.
  
• My question is, what should we think about? What stuff should we talk about?What suggestions should we make at this momment?
  
• It's like if we talk about weapons, hud, gameplay, features (random things) will it be too late? Or too early to talk about those kind of suggestions?
  
• Thanks for reading & wish you a merry xmas for everyone
  
• Keep up the good work.

Urban Terror HD is a long ways away but closer than you think.

At the moment where we are is best described as nesting and December is generally a slow time behind the blue curtain so I've been dumping a lot of work in progress stuff on my video blog as to but a few of the things in hand (in other words what I feel comfortable in showing at this stage)

As to how the community can help out, for now, just keep visiting the site as that little banner at the top is what we use to buy the things we need.

As for what you guys want to talk about welllll what do you want to talk about?

I want to talk about the new Mr. Sentry you are working on. It looks awesome, far superior to the current sentry gun. I would like to see a machine gun version and a grenade/rocket version in each of the team colors that can be selected as well as a default gray. You might also consider a version that can be controlled by a player as a turret gun and/or a version that can be deployed, repaired, and destroyed by players.

Speaking of CTF type things, I have found some issues in CTF that need fixing.

One more thing that would help me would be to enable RGB colors for in-game text, such as radio locations.

Thank you glad you like it...so far. ;)

An idea we are working on is to make stuff and contribute it to the marketplace as a free asset and to test out the ideas of community involvement on such projects like the sentry gun. I have a gentleman willing to do up the AI and once done I'll put out an SDK for anyone wishing to make a material for it. I also would like to add a floor model at the same time. So yeah a machine gun version is possible or you can make one your self. ;)

Still very much an idea in process but we need to make some in game entities such as the sentry for others to use in their CTF maps so as far as logic goes might as well make use of a resource such as Epics market place.

No promises of course.

Selling your models on the marketplace can be a nice way to get cash for the project (:

You bet and better than having a bake sale.

Something to consider though is it's not only a good option for us but for everyone else who wises to become involved in contributing to the project in the same manner as we are giving away a free asset, which is a critical map entity, under Epics fair use marketplace.

An issue in hand, and best to get it out there now to talk about it, is blueprints is a dangerous feature to let loose with out any form of limitation or control but registered entities like the sentry is required so as a good start getting others involved in the building of an entity and putting it through Epics validation process would be a good thing for everyone.

I could write a book on just what could be done but as an example.

Let say someone wants to make their own game type that they want to share with the rest of the Urban Terror community and make it a fair share (CC0 MIT with is compatible with Epics license) instead of coming to FS to see if we would be willing to put it in the game they could submit the game type to Epic as a free asset under their terms and conditions. This way they do the leg work checking to make sure someone is not putting in hacks or is using copyrighted content and if it passes the gate keeper we can register it as a modular component that is allowed to be used.

Its a win win as Urban Terror receives a fair amount of free advertising in a critical area of map making , which has always been the backbone of the community effort, the asset is available as part of Epic's asset cataloging system and the asset creator maintains full rights as to IP ownership that excludes our rights to do with it as we please.

I'll leave it there, leaving room for more questions, but the possibilities of having Epic involved as part of our project is....well Epic. :D

This also opens up the way for someone to contribute other game assets to UrT such as weapons or gear items. Your creations might be used in other games as well as UrT that way, too. You could potentially sell assets or donate them through Epic's marketplace.

Wellllll I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag...mostly.

This is an AAA asset complete fit to finish and as such once I get my hot little hands on it I'll be doing a pimp out on our official YouTube channel.

But

The plan don't want the optics don’t use the optics...it's your choice.
