Things we already know about

Weapon animations don't work: Proper weapon animations aren't possible in Q3; the entire system must be coded from scratch. This is being worked on, expect it in 1.0

The 'turncloak' bug: Sometimes, a member of the blue team in a CTF match will have a red skin. If you can duplicate this bug, let us know, as we have no idea what causes it at this time.

Slipgate nailgun/double shotgun weapon switching: Already fixed; will be in the next version (v99e).

Doom's rockets make the Goodyear Blimp seem small: Fixed in 99e.

Slipgate grenades bounce wrong: We're working on it

The CTF/TDM scoreboard: It doesn't show enough people, nor a total player count. Once the match is bigger than 5v5, there's no way of telling if the teams are balanced.

A small low priority request: Could you make an auto demo option so the game always records a demo of your game?

I'd like to make a "shit happens" demo but I forget to set to record which is a shame because I've expierenced some nastys in generations

and another small request
I know this probably won't happen since it's a lot of work for a small thing
when i started playing doom one of my favourite things was to go god mode and berzerker mode and splat the zombies and imps could you bring that back in generations? and if not all of it then perhaps just the splattering sound as that was the most important part.

and a balance thing or something
I'm not really sure about this but IMO slippy's super nailgun projectiles move too slow, I realize that this how it originally was and so I'd like it preserved but could you somehow implement lavanails or something? Just to add damage to make up for the low speed. I have no idea how this could be done if you'd want to preserve the compabillity with original q3maps.
maybe 50/50 normal nails and lavanails per pickup?

Just bind a key to /demorecord. I can picture the tech support nightmare we'd get with auto record.

We've been planning on a players vs monsters mode for some time, but it's not gonna happen till after version 1.0.

We're boosting the nail speed slightly for the next version because everyone seems to want it.

How do I set it to name the demo's differently so it doesn't overwrite them?

I really meant for the sound to appear when splatting other players with the fist but the monster thing sounds cool too.

I think something else that might boost the nailgun would be more ammo in the initial pickup 30 nails make for like 15 shot which isn't a lot for the rapid fire type of gun. Just an alternative for people who would want their current speed maintained.

Read the manual, there's lots of things in there you might want to know
http://www.wireheadstudios.org/generations/manual.html

It's also in your /generations directory

As for the nails, 15 is more than enougn to kill someone with if you're accurate.

Lavaballs will be in an upcoming mapper SDK.

If you /demorecord without specifying a demo name it will automatically increment them, like screenshots.  E.g., demo0000, demo0001, demo0002, etc.  Just remember to /stoprecord when you are done.

The Doom splatter sound is copyrighted, so we can't use that sound unless Id graciously grants us sound licensing at some point, which is highly doubtful.

Ok just thinking of a way of keeping players or bots from turning into BFG whores in fully loaded games.

It was a custom DM map from Q1 (originally called A2 by Pingu) and it makes an appearance in the Classic Quake Arena mod as well. It's a small-ish map and it's pretty damn fast. Slipgate - Smile

Here's the direct link:

Accually, Doom's sounds are in the open domain, they were taken from an open domain sound collection CD.
