So I had an Idea for a mod, but before I fire up emacs and start working, I like to hear some opinions.
The idea is quite simple, squads/groups are used in other games(shooter and rts) and I think it would be a nice addition.
The Comm:
-can create arbitrary number of squads
-can assign player to a squad
-select a whole squad via shortcut and give commands for the whole squad
A few features for normal players to better see squad members are also possible, but
the main advantage would be that a commander can give commands to 2-5 people at once.
That should make managing and coordinating a team a lot easier.
I can program, but I never worked on a mod for ns2 before.
Thats why I posted this in the first place.
Is it viable with the current mod support from ns2?
Would any of you want to play with such a mod?
Or is it a complete and utter waste of time?
Thanks!
