-Enter in the buildings
* would be a great feature * RWR engine basically not capable for rendering and handling building interiors directly on spot * a potential workaround could be that when entering a building, the player would be teleported to an off-map location, representing the floor he entered, from where he could access elevator to teleport to another floor or door to get back to outside world, but even this would be a lot of work; that said, something like this could be among the first things to do after RWR 1.0 * designing building interiors and props for them would be plenty of work too * best that can be done currently is to change the map when accessing interiors (could be picked up by entering a hitbox), make a map that appears to be an interior, restricted to one floor, but it wouldn't won't work online and it would have rather huge unload-load time in between -- not good enough * another workaround is to model the building as a static vehicle, and position the soldier on a static vehicle seat anywhere in the building

(Sorry i'm french and I must use Google Translation
What I'd like to see in the game:
-Fixed weapons -Enter in the buildings -Swim under water with a special suit to be discreet
1. Fixed aka stationary weapons was mentioned as "static vehicles" somewhere in the list I know, fairly odd, but re-usability is the key. Vehicles already support multiple turrets, multiple gunner seats, they can be destroyed, and they respawn, and they can be made immovable. The only things needed are the actual content, models, sounds, settings and positioning in maps.
Added 2. and 3. in the list, below the line unfortunately.
Few comment's, ideas even, free for use! If you like them or something like that. I start from the one I feel more for.

* limited ammo, maybe
How about if you would have unlimited ammo, but limited clips that you would need to reload? for example: with AK-47 you would have 3 clips. When you shoot the game would keep track of how many bullets you have in your clips. -You go out and shoot 5 bullets from clip 1 and reload the gun with clip 2. Now you would have clip 1 with 25 bullets and others are full. You shoot the clips 2 and 3 until they are empty, you reload with clip one that has 25 bullets. You need to spend a bit of time to reload clips 2 and 3 with bullets. Or run completely out of clips with bullets.
Refilling the clip would then done in inventory screen, by clicking the clip images or something, and it would take a x (shortish?) amount of time.

-Enter in the buildings * would be a great feature, but....
How about if the interiors would be part of the whole map? when you step in from an opening into a building "interior" part of the building would change how parts of the map are shown: The walls and ceilings would turn completely transparent allowing you to view the interior of the building.
I know the exteriors are small in most buildings, but for the uses in this game, you would not need much of the interior. Maybe just hallway, few openings (door, windows). And it would be cool to shoot out of the windows. Could require rework on how explosions effect players on other side of the wall, so those positions could be cleared.
And if more floors are needed, maybe then just modify the "interior" region ---> when player walks up the stairs in a building, he enters "interior_2" region that makes the walls and ceiling transparent to floor 2, and not to floor 1.
I don't know if this makes any sense. I hope so.
Besides of that, it would also be cool to have a map almost completely indoors.
BELLOW THIS LINE I DON'T CARE SO MUCH; JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grappling hook and climbing rope as secondary then, please? Slower climb than with ladders, but you can go up and down from where you want.

For modding sake, if not for anything else?

1. Limited ammo has definitely been tossed around but not like you describe. This system seems a little unnecessary and RWR is more simplistic. If it did use ammo if would probably be a pool system or it would continue without ammo.
2. Interiors are not feasible with the engine. Probably will never make it unless RWR 2.0 on a new engine comes out.
3. Ladders and building jumping will be tweaked before 1.0
4. I have no idea what you're talking about with the knives.
5. Apparently destructible fences/low walls should be possible but will not come until later.
That's all I've got until pasik comes.

Ok now this system is out there on an idea level. I would like to reason that loading the clips is something you need to take care in the field. This is sort of my idea of "semi-limited ammo system", where you would need to consider the consumption at least a bit.

And to clarify the system I mean is to handle interiors same way than Project Zomboid, (I hope that makes it easier to visualize, what i mean about the entering a building) (And no I don't want or need or request zombie mode here! :serious face: )

4. I have no idea what you're talking about with the knives.
Um... just a system where you could change the knife to other thing. Sort of like you can change the main weapon. So you would have a slot where you have the melee weapon. And system where you could add a number of different melee weapons in to the game, as novelty items or what ever. And I know how "high quality" the knife model is. I know this seems like no effect. But Just so if someone would want to mod in the shovel or generic wooden stick as a melee weapon.
Yup, that's my point about knives as well, we are on the same page. I totally understand it would open a few more doors in modding, and I want to get there, but there's no denying it won't have much if any impact in vanilla, hence the feature is there at the bottom of any mental priority list.
