Yes, different classes would be awesome. Man, you're really putting a lot of work into this mod!

What he said. Awesome (any chance of coop compatibility in the future? I believe you may have hinted at it but I am not sure).

Though, luckily it seems pretty much all the areas are coop compatible. Could lead to a few nasty telefrags when a teleport ambush happens, though.
I would request dynamic difficulty depending on playercount() for coop compatibility

I'll use the class system to add a few different "combat styles" that will have different properties. For example, an "action" style with auto-reloading and lowered bleeding, and a "tactical" style with manual reloading but reduced bleeding, and a "realistic" with both manual reloading and increased bleeding.
That would make the choice of reloading style and bleeding frequency separate from the overall difficulty (except that the lowest difficulty would always have no bleeding at all) and accomadate different play styles.

If you're feeling particularly masochistic, I'm including a "Classic CAH" class that has the 50% health from the original release.Sniper Joe wrote:♥ ♥ ♥
Co-op: Not sure if I could make this work, given a few of the tricks used to do stuff. It might be possible with some re-working of how things are set up, but I'll have to see. If it is possible but only with heroic effort, I might pass on it.

Invisible teleports are a bit of a give away on coop games, and CAH has them aplenty.
However, I'm impressed that you are putting so much effort in to making sure everyone has a style of play that suits them. Props to you - or whatever the appropriate expression is.

Another massive problem is the hub level structure, this does not go down well in coop, rogue players changing maps at the wrong moment etc.

Actually i dont believe coop would be meant straightly for skulltag, it's for own risk btw You might just want to ask friends to play a nice bit of coop with behaving.CaptainToenail wrote:Another massive problem is the hub level structure, this does not go down well in coop, rogue players changing maps at the wrong moment etc.

Where am I supposed to find a soldier to fix the damn jeep (doesn't even make sense since the player is a soldier and could do it himself, but anyway...)? I've looked everywhere in the armory. I hope you don't intend for me to go back into the barracks and babysit an NPC against hordes of monsters, do you?
Edit: Another idea--if you plan to have coop support, how about making the player's uniform translatable? i know real soldiers don't wear red or blue or pink, but it would be nice to tell people apart.

About the translatable uniforms - Only some parts of the uniform should be translatable, my ideas are either belt, armring.
About the "original CaH class"... seems like a new goal to achieve and prove my skill for myself

Alright, just beat it, and I must say, the ending was really good. Didn't really expect it.
1 thing that I thought was odd was that I never bled or anything, thus I never needed the bandages. Maybe I was extremely lucky, or something?

Now I've finally beaten it, and I am very impressed. The ending was bizarre but at the same time created more questions than it solved. Is it a setup for a sequel?
Also, I'm getting giant monster corpses in the skybox as well. I'd really rather the HUD be done in SBARINFO rather than scripting, too.
