[Widelands-public] Ideas

[Josiah W. <spe...@ho...>]

Sorry for starting all these new topics... I can't seem to help it.  Forums 
might be better than an email list for development, that way topics would be 
more easily separated and categorised.  I'd be interested in joining in once 
I have some free time, if you guys don't mind.

I had a couple of ideas about the game too.  I saw the posting about how the 
game logic using an event queue earlier, maybe it'd be good if there could 
be a scriptloader to go with the maps?  This would make more redundancy 
between maps but would also allow scripted world events and disasters.  
Things like landslides, storms, even hostile animals like lions that try to 
attack men (hence making the hunter essential even after he's killed all the 
rabbits).  Maybe not everything would be scripted, but the map related stuff 
could be loaded from file couldn't it?

Also I'm not sure but I think the men are a little small - especially for 
monitors with modern resolutions (they look like tiny bugs on my screen).  
Maybe there could be a higher resolution set of graphics for a 'zoomed in' 
view?  I'm aware that the graphics sets are far from finished and I'd like 
to help contribute there too...
