Stupid features we'd like to see someone make

[cool2000m]

SO there's already a mod ideas thread but not just ideas for features threads. So I figured I'd start one.

The proposition is simple: post your ideas for a random feature you'd like to see added, either as your own mod or to another mod. Mostly for vague feature concepts you'd like to see.

here's mine:

1. Idle animations of enemies as opposed to just blankly standing there
I think this could be cool. Like, imagine peeking into the next room and seeing the baddies adjusting their rifles. The pinkies farting and doing stupid stuff. The barons of hell shouting orders. The Cacodemons sleeping on the ground in their caves. It could add some immersion.

2. A mod themed on high mobility and strafejumping stuff
Like titanfall without the titans.

3. Punching the cacodemon from behind would...
make a farting sound and get your hand stuck and would make things really weird. It's a dumb idea I know but it would be hillarious. A mod filled with 1 and 3 and having silly jokes would be great. This would be good in a troll wad.

4. play as the monsters
You can do it in Killing Floor and in many others. I'm not sure you can do it here.

5. Kills slow time mutator from ut3 in brutal doom
This would be perhaps the greatest thing aside from sex.

I think all of these have already been done to a greater or lesser extent.

I'm not sure about the last one simply because I'm not sure what the UT3 mutator is like. I feel as if I am missing out by not having this knowledge seeing as how it is better than sex though.

It's pretty much what's on the label - killing a bot kicks bullet time in for a second or two. Not really possible in ZDoom without painful hacks.

I wish to see a boss battle with a monster that is programmed like a bot, and can pick up health, weapons, jump, avoid pits and lava... Imagine

Cool, but impossible, would be a doom MMO.

Also, I've been thinking lately about the possibility of making a Hexen free-roaming adventure. The overworld would obviously have to be divided into levels as to prevent the game from crashing.

You can't solve an impossible idea with another. You can only have one map active at a time, and thus would not be free roaming.

[PWAD Pete]

And that's why I said it's impossible, silly.
I also said I was wondering about the possibility of a free roaming Hexen mod.

Maybe you should read a post a little bit better before you reply to it.

[edward850]

You wondered about the possibility, I gave you the exact possibility. If you claim you already knew the answer, don't ask the question.

[PWAD Pete]

Yeah, you're right. To make a Hexen Free-Roaming mod, the overworld would have to be one level probably. That would definitely limit the detail and size of it though.

EDIT: It just sounded like you were saying BOTH ideas were impossible...

I still want to see a utility to ease creation of Offset and Textures based animations with onion skin and animation preview. Apparently this is a pretty stupid idea, because I've been asking for it for years and nobody's made one.

An HUDMessage animated cartoon!

[Peter Bark]

for ZDoom to oneday be able to run Duke Nukem 3D, all the monsters, maps and art decorations atleast.

I've been wondering about that for a while. Doing animations that require a lot of frames is freaking tedious and I am currently blocked in this part for a while because of the lack of time I have to dedicate for that.

Scriptable AI for the enemies.

With this new rollin' stuff for GZDoom, I wonder if it could be used for BFG-like weapons: imagine to throw away your enemies with rotating effects (I mean: their sprite rotates while diving in air), and once they hit walls... SPLAT!
