Hey, i already said it but its a good idea adding the replays to the tournaments , like a replay logo appears and everyone can play them, after the tournament ending them gets deleted too.

It would be nice if we are allowed to modify private party. For now we are only allowed to use our playlist . What about using mods? (edited)

efro [GMT -7] 7/27/2022 2:59 PM
I agree on all these things, and will keep working towards all of them.. 1.8 should improve the map/character/powerup situation and then 1.9 will be all about better online play. (easily forming parties, playing ranked games against other parties, limiting chat to party members aside from emotes, etc)

I also want mods to be usable in cloud hosted games; I just need to get a good sandbox setup in place so I can run untrusted Python code.

Right now the game has pretty poor security for UDP stuff - it isn't encrypted or signed in any significant way. I'm guessing we can improve some security by adopting something like DTLS but I'm not sure if that would help for DOS/DDOS scenarios

I put a bunch of placeholder characters in there so I could fill those in at some point and people running older versions would just see the crappy spaz copy (without requiring everyone to upgrade their game). But the cleaner way to do that stuff will just be the asset-packege stuff coming in 1.8

The big downside of adding characters/maps/etc right now is that it basically breaks compatibility with all existing versions so has to be done very carefully. I want to fix that problem.

We could have game in Rust and mods in Rust, last ones can be cross platform if compiled into .wasm and we include some virtual machine into engine, this will also give us some sandboxing and safety advantages, which leads to ability to have private parties with mods and etc etc

Keep in mind they are standalone and designed to play music by themselves. You would have to have a library that deals with music playback and put it into BombSquad. That's what the editor does on Android at least, but a way is lacking on desktops.
10:05 AM
You can edit videos by console commands if you have the right library, so I assume the same goes for music playback and editing. All you need to do is find it, interface with it and make sure not only that it works, but also that it won't break the Android version.

On the mac version it uses the Music app (which is a standalone GUI app) by sending AppleScript commands to it. Maybe there'd be similar options for the windows apps if there's no underlying library directly accessible.

We could also wire up support for external ogg vorbis files since the game uses that internally. But then again who uses ogg vorbis?...

I use it with my Godot games, it's really powerful. I think most game engines don't even accept MP3 files by default.

I remember there used to be licensing/patent issues with mp3 which is why I avoided it, but I vaguely remember reading that that's no longer an issue.

When I was initially porting to mobile I set the game up to pre-convert ogg files into raw audio data since it turned out it was way expensive to decode everything real-time. But that was Android devices from like 10 years ago so that could be unnecessary today.

I experimented with open beta versions like years ago and I do remember it having some quirks not present in later versions. I played the game for so long I definitely noticed when land mines became lighter.

efro [GMT -7] 7/28/2022 10:23 AM
There's a few weird optimizations in there purely for performance reasons to try and get it running fast enough on super-slow early Android phones - like some Rigid Body joints turn off and on every other frame to reduce expense. I'm curious how different the physics would feel if I turned those off now
10:25 AM
On a related note, the first part of my plans for 1.8 is now splitting out the low level C++ simulation code into 'versions' so we can make changes like that without breaking the existing world.
Avatar
I guess that layer could be opened up to allow for creating Spaz-like actors with their own procedural animation. I can imagine the monstrosities that could be made with that.

I would like to move to a model like that - for instance stuff like Zoe's hair pieces should be part of a seperate simulation that can't affect gameplay. that would open us up to adding fun little wobbly bits to different characters/etc.

Yes I agree. I've hated having to keep things so locked, which has always been mostly due to backwards compatibility. My hope for the SceneProtocols stuff (splitting out the low level stuff into versions) is that we can be more free to improve things.
10:33 AM
Also should mean if someone wants to create their own SceneProtocol (a completely different set of node types with completely different attrs, etc) they can.

That's the feature of Needle, which can automake threads on every message. Add a long slowmode and people might be encouraged to use it as intended. I do know Carlbot has tags where you can set "media only" channels, which means only images, videos and gifs are allowed and other mesages are auto-removed. Dunno if it has more features like that, but it's worth exploring. Here's example of the art channel on JRMP Discord:

I think you should add a feature where when you try to kick some player out of a public server you should put a reason before kicking the person that you want to kick because most of the time when I enter public servers then some people start to vote me out for no reason even tho I was playing all fine without bothering someone or even betraying,or when you win in an FFA server then they try to kick you because you won which makes no sense kicking someone for winning, we really need the kicking thingy to have a reason for kicking.

Add the ability to rewind forward and backward by 10 seconds in replay playback. Sometimes the replays are too long and it is very difficult to find and record some interesting moment the first time using only the playback acceleration buttons. It will also be just an indispensable thing for people who deal with edits in the bombsquad. They can easily record the same moment from different angles without having to open the record again :))

Punch Buffer Sometimes spamming punch gets tiring. It would be great if I could just time the punch button and the game remembered your button press for a little while even if you can't punch yet. If you press the button close to the cooldown running out, the game will throw a punch for you as soon as it's available. This thing exists already in JRMP and it does make the game smoother to play..

Characters having their own abilities, like frosty being able to slow things down after a few punches, or spaz being able to charge up a punch. I know this can implement the “pay to win” problem but here’s how you can stop it from happening: daily challenges for tickets, friends in party increases the amount of tickets you get by 30% from matchmaking (multiversus inspired), and keeping the characters balanced. Using these tickets buys you new characters so there is no paying involved This could bring some diversity to the game and make it more fun. (edited)

Make it possible to turn off notifications that someone has joined or left the game. In fact, many do not care at all that someone has entered or left, these inscriptions only interfere with playing, especially on servers where the limit of 8 players has been removed. They also interfere with those who make edits, since a person could film some very cool moment, but it is simply not visible due to the fact that a couple of people decided to leave or enter at the same time. You can add this feature in the chat under the "mute chat" button. (edited)

  • Watch replays in tournaments
That there is an option next to the participants of the tournaments that allows you to see how they got their score. -More PRO tournaments Add mini-games (Race, runaround, etc) to tournaments with trophy prizes + 300 tickets (same as ProTarget Practice, Meteor Shower).
  • New playlist option
An option to duplicate settings of a minigame (some minigames mods have several settings and if you want to put the same one with other settings you have to do it again from 0). -Profile suggestion When someone enters your profile, always show the best season in which you played.
  • Warning Message
If you are about to play tournaments and have plugins activated, be warned to avoid wasting your tickets.
  • Color Name
For BombSquad PRO users to be able to adjust the colors of a profile name, independently of the colors of the character.
  • Save replay
When you finish a coop game and the results screen comes up, there is an option that allows you to easily save the replay, the replay would have the name of the mini-game and the score you have achieved. Example: The last Stand - 1400 (that will probably be added in 1.9 but I put it anyway bear_wave )

Ideas/Suggestions for BombSquad: [1]⚡ Changes for players on PC: • Being able to configure a key to your liking to run, not use the default one. •That the symbols that are visible for Android are also visible for PC. For example, these symbols: "꧁꧂" That can also be used by PC players without being "invisible" to them. [2]⚡ New options for saved replays: •Sliding lower bar to fast forward, backward and pause the repetition without waiting several minutes watching it in x8 (video bar to go from one extreme to another in the repetition quickly). •Option to save the video in the device storage (to be able to save the replay in the Android or PC gallery) >It makes it easy to share content and good game clips to YouTube or friends. [3]⚡Make friends: •Send requests and add players within BombSquad. •Private in-game chats and groups >Avoid transferring private information on public servers in case players want to contact each other. •Function to mention players in the crowd (if in a public server you want to mention someone in specific, place "@" and select the player- it appears in another font for the player who was mentioned and thus notify that someone is talking to him ) >More functional for 16 player servers. ⭐⭐EXTRAS (not so necessary)⭐⭐ • Being able to deactivate or activate an option in game configurations to remove power ups. •Remove from BombSquad Pro the limit of profiles created. •💵Add characters every month. The only difference is that they will be in another purchase section and they will cost real money, for example: 8 dollars >(Players love to have more exclusive skins). New skins like: A gray Alien, a zombie, a cat, a dog. Flashy skins that I would buy. •Implementation of new bombs for the game, for example: √"Molotov"/Fire bombs➡ Allows you to cause progressive damage to the one who touches the fire when hit or from the fire that is on the ground of the map. √Ice Mine➡ Will freeze anyone who steps on it. •New maps.

  • Double jump power-up
  • Ridable animals (see bomberman eggs)
  • Hold punch for a strong hit
  • Jump precision (tap vs. holding)
  • Sandbox/creative mode map: just to test powerups, spawn enemies
  • Moving obstacles in maps (e.g. bridge that opens/closes)

New Power Ups Stretchy Punch - A box that the player puts down like a mine and when somebody goes in front of it (the direction the player threw the box to) a boxing glove stretches out like a jack In a box with high knockback but low damage. This can be destroyed by bombs or punching it (not from the front).This overrides the landmine and the landmine overrides it. There is only 1 per pack and it disappears after it is used once. Bouncy Bomb - this bomb is the opposite of a sticky bomb, it is very bouncy and explodes the second time it hits the ground (or a wall), or when it touches a player. This bomb does much less damage than a regular bomb and its radius is slightly larger (edited)

Wormpot inspired functionality - Bombpot! Basically the idea is to make a little UI for players to choose different game modificators, for example:
  • Lower gravity,
  • Bigger blasts,
  • Higher jump,
  • More knockback,
  • Stronger curse,
etc. etc. You get the schtick. The possibilities are endless. It could make games more varied and user defined. Player could choose different game modificators for every game in the playlist. For more details as how Wormpot works in Worms games, I'm sending you here: https://worms.fandom.com/wiki/Wormpot TL;DR A feature to add a game modificator chooser, making various mini-games even more varied Image of Wormpot from Worms 3D with different modificators selected:
