Code Suggestion Box

[Msgtfox]

The only thing I really want to see improved (Which I think is impossible.) Is being able to download more than 50 friggen addons in the workshop.
KF1 became frustratingly hard to add the really amazing maps and mutators too due to that limit.

What about exposing the VoIP interface?
Particularly I'm interested in implementing voice chat recording (administrators will be able to ban people that are not following server rules - e.g. people using voice chat for injuries,harassment,racism,etc). For instance, if we have access to the voice packets then we can redirect to a TCP stream - and a 3rd party tool can write those audio packets to a file.
Will be good if we can inject audio as well.

another suggestion

Please create a project in github for KF2 (a kind of mirror OFC), so modders can help fixing issues (by proposing bugfix patches) and maybe new funcionalities which can be incorporated in kf2. Also, this way will be easy to track the changes to help fixing broken mods.
We can use the github also to track issues...

IIRC this is illegal in many states and countries. Or am I wrong here? This is why sec. cameras can't record audio and can only record video.

Well here are a couple of requests I have which Epic limited with UE3, but were useful to be able to do before:

• Allow you to specify defaultproperty values for config and localized variables, it's really annoying when you can't do that in UE3.
• Allow you to modify localized variables (since UE3 automatically defines them as 'const').
• Allow you to modify default values (I know it's hacky but sometimes it's much easier then trying to work around it).
• Re-implement GetPropertyText/SetPropertyText native functions to object (you could literally just copy over the exact same code from KF1).

So in other words, you could compile a code like this:

var localized string MenuName;
var config int PawnHealth;

function PostBeginPlay()
{
	class'KFPawn_ZedClot'.Default.MenuName = MenuName;
	class'KFPawn_ZedClot'.Default.GroundSpeed = PawnHealth;
}

defaultproperties
{
	MenuName="Ultra Clot"
	PawnHealth=1000
}

Me and many other modders would agree on Marco's suggestions. At the current state, it is really putting me off with mutators with how little control you have compared to the UE2.5.

I like to do a lot of music additions to the playlist as well as editing and replacing current songs with different ones. Would it be possible to make an .ini file that would allow you to change it so people like myself wouldn't have to decompile KFGame.u in order to add songs to the playlist then go through so much hoops to Recompile KFGame.u? Or maybe even change it to where the music system's KFMapInfo.uc wasn't restricted to KFGame.u and make it not a part of the Mismatch server checking system. This would help A LOT of us that like to add/edit the music playlist.

It would be awesome if we could load custom weapon camos serverside without having to write code or at least without having to get it whitelisted.

Hell yeah.

Steam Group Membership

Steam Group Membership

It would be VERY nice if within the scripting you can determine if a player is a member of a steam group. Space engineers is one example of this. You can lock down / make determinations based on the player being a member of the <groupID64>groupid</groupID64>. This would make reserved slot mods more secure vs having to use the UID for each player individually.

I'm not well versed with UnrealScript.
Just provide us with documentation and I'm golden!

How I wish it'd be possible, as a specator, to join the game you're currently spectating.

Too many times I wanted to join some friends on a full server, so I went in to spectate, log off as soon as a player leaves, just to be denied access again because someone joined before me...

Giving us mod support to create custom characters would be nice instead of just overwriting a said character with skins. Also weapon skins should get this support as well as custom ZEDs and Weapons.

option to add custom Zed without replacing existing models

The simplest way is to override KFGameInfo_Survival and replace the bloat (or another zed) in the default properties. If you want something more advanced than that you'll need to override the SpawnManager class and build in some custom code. I'll add it to the wishlist over here to add something to the base code to allow for adding new zeds without replacing.
