"One side" Aleph Resonator

KGJV · Post by **KGJV** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 8:08 pm

I've been able to do a simple code change to implement 'one sided aleph resonator'.

Basically it's like current aleph resonator but only the opposite side of the aleph explode.

I've also updated ICE to be allow creation of these "one side" rez.

Question: is there any gameplay interest to release these changes ?

Personally, i'm persuaded there is a huge interest in this. Current resonators are barely used because of how they work.

But i'd rather get feedback here because it's a core feature so no point releasing this code change if no core will use it.

Hmm. It would be an interesting perk to Sup across the board. Should make for some good times /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Make it expensive, tho. Getting these suckers should be an expensive upgrade from highest level of res currently available. Otherwise, defense will be too weak.

if you mean you have implemented it in such a way that the core format doesn't change so all the old cores still work, then cool /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So basically you can res and aleph, blow everyone and everything up on one side and pop in with 30 people?

I'm thinking game play is going to be affected unless this "tech" is super expensive.

It's gotta only be the 1k res variety too.

Sounds interesting. The core dev(s) can then either decide to implement them or not, or control their range and where they sit in the tech tree, etc.

It isn't going to kill a competant team, its more of a "De-Camping weapon". Just gets em off the aleph.

well, of course gameplay is going to be effected.

that's the whole idea.

the FAZ team is allowed to add things to the code that allow for more things to be done in the cores.

this change in its self will not effect gameplay.

if a core dev decided to use this change, they are free to do so, and they are free to use it to effect gameplay.

this change isnt changing all reses to only work on 1 side - a gameplay change.

its just adding the option for them to only work on one side. its up to the core dev to balance it and use it to change gameplay to their wishes.

p.s. while were chaning ICE, can we add an option to change a normal missiles AOE, since i believe that is changeable in the core, there just isn't a box to change it in ICE
