  1. Water Arrows

    With the exception of save/load, those are examples of things you might really do in that situation; If you're on a narrow ledge, it's easy to fall off accidently. If you're sword-fighting, it's easy to make the wrong move. (and the save/load example is why many games use F5/F9 instead lf F5/F6) However, I can't imagine going to grab a candle and accidently dousing it with a vial of water instead. That sort of mistake is very un-immersive and just causes people to get annoyed at the interface, whereas your two examples help to immerse the player in the world.

     

    However, what I would be fine with, is making it so that if you frob a torch while wielding water arrows, it'll douse it.

     

    What does frob mean, and if you're worried about accidentally using a water arrow, you could just have is so that if you pull back whilst facing a torch, if you're close enough you just take the arrow off the bow and douse it. I don't know much about programming and less about animation/graphics engines, but this does seem like a lot of effort for somethign that doesn't add to gameplay that much.

    Also, if you can walk right up to a torch with no one seeing you, then there isn't really much need to put it out.

     

    You might be able to make that argument. I do remember whilst playing thief, if guards were on certain patrols, if would be better to put out the torch before they came back, in which case you'd be able to walk up to the torch. It is a small issue and perhaps it is needlessly complex. Oh well.

    I liked the water arrows from Thief, but I thought it was lame how you would still have to shoot the torch with your bow even if you're right next to the flame. Makes more sense to just douse the arrow into the torch. Maybe this is too much of a nit picky thing to worry about at this stage in development.

    So if you know somebody who knows about Mac coding on a lower level, it would be very appreciated, because I don't even know somebody who owns a Mac, much less program it. :)

     

    Santaduck might be able to work on it, he's done the mac "port" for the UT2k4 mod Frag.Ops, I'll email him about it.

  9. Men Finding Women Attractive? What's Next?

    I have heard of people who have gotten what is called, marred, marrid, marrie, something like that. Anyway I guess these people "love" each other and live with each other for the rest of their lives? They also have sex exclusively with each other, enjoy it, and love the children that results from it? Has anyone else heard about this? The idea intrigues me.
