This is the list of features that would be nice to have in our codebase. You are welcome to do a PR!

Monsters #

New monsters #

  • monster_alienflyer
  • monster_alien_tor
  • monster_bodyguard
  • monster_kingpin
  • monster_stukabat
  • monster_archer (probably should shoot spikes like pitdrone or some kinds of electric bolts)
  • Engineer’s Sentry Gun (3 different levels)
  • Drones from Sweet Half-Life
  • Chumtoad from Sven Co-op or Todesangst 2
  • Melee weapon humans like in Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes or Point of View.

Monster’s abilities #

  • Support for security guards reload (in Half-Life they never need to reload).
  • Ability of scientists and medics to revive allies (including player).
  • Alien grunts throwing snark nests.
  • The ability for blackops assassins to throw flash grenades.
  • Leap ability for panthereyes.
  • Leap ability for gonomes.
  • Zombies that spawn headcrabs when they’re killed not in the head.

Monster configuration #

  • Replaceable skill values per entity template (so monsters of the same class could use different damage values).
  • Configuration of monster’s weapon (e.g. let barneys wield shotguns, let human grunts wield sniper rifles, etc.). This should allow to implement variety of human-like npcs via entity templates, e.g. HEV scientists from Sweet Half-Life.
  • Configuration of monster’s dropped items.
  • The option to turn off certain attacks for monsters (e.g. to make melee-only alien grunts).
  • Configuration of monster’s “children”, e.g. babycrabs spawned by bigmomma or soldiers spawned by osprey. This should, for example, allow bigmomma to give birth to full grown headcrabs or even some other species.

Weapons #

New weapons #

  • weapon_minigun
  • weapon_uziakimbo
  • TFC Flamethrower
  • TFC Grenade launcher
  • TFC Nailgun
  • TFC Engineer’s blaster (railgun)
  • TFC Sniper rifle
  • TFC Assault cannon
  • DMC/Quake lightning gun
  • Vortigaunt hands
  • flash grenade - should also make monsters temporarily blind
  • Various guns from Counter-Strike (decide what are the most interesting)
  • Plasma gun from Sweet Half-Life

New attacks #

  • Secondary attack for shock roach

Throwable grenades from TFC #

  • Bullet spray patterns and kickback like in Counter-Strike.
  • Support for holster animations.
  • Configuration of some visual effects on view models (e.g. beams on shockrifle and displacer).

Player upgrades/effects #

A generic way to describe player upgrades/effects. It should support creation of something similar to DMC artifacts and Opposing Force CTF runes.

Monster status effects #

Status effects like burning, frozen, electrified, stunned, poisoned, “silenced” (can’t use abilities), etc. Status effects should be applied by attacks, environments or triggers.

New entities #

  • env_beamtrail
  • env_elight
  • Dispenser - entity that gives player ammo and armor on touch.

Entity features #

  • Support for Movewith from Spirit of Half-Life.

  • 3D Skybox implementation.
  • Ability to build game libraries with server-only weapons (e.g. for singleplayer-only mods)

  • Join team interface should work in team deathmatch.
  • Out of the box vote system for map change and player’s kick/ban.
  • Capture The Flag support (for Opposing Force, Adrenaline Gamer and Team Fortress Classic maps)
  • Last man standing mode (Adrenaline Gamer)
  • Duel arena mode (Adrenaline Gamer)
  • Configuration to spawn players as spectators first when they join the game.
  • A command to prevent any players from further joining except as spectators.
  • Support for .loc files from Adrenaline Gamer. Or another way to mark locations in multiplayer (might be useful for singleplayer as well!).
