Pop Cap CVAR

[Avernus]

Game can randomly pick a color for each player, also removing already picked choices, which can be done AFAIK. When the game begins, an image can pop-up to say "YOU ARE BLABLA" where blabla is color The color amount can also be the limiting factor for player amounts.

"YOU ARE BLUE". That would be so funny, IMO.

It would be better like this "YOUR COLOR IS <YOURCOLOR>".

Uh, I seem to remember Banjo telling me that no two teams can be the same color, unless theres more then 5 players, so DUH back. (I may be remembering incorrectly, so if I'm wrong, yeah, I'm fail.)

Dancso, Banjo's colored monsters are each different actors, i.e. There's the normal chaingunner, and then there is DarkRedChaingunner, Bluechaingunner, etc.

If there were different versions of monsters and perhaps the "weapons" for all colors, wouldn't that create a huge clusterfuck in the already long decorate lump?

At least you can inherit from a base actor...
but you'd still have to have a few custom states here and there for each.. like, unless you want to have a looped script for each monster, you'd have to make each have a unique death state, reducing that specific player's unit count.

[Captain Ventris]

It's not a cluster, it's quite organized, albeit not in a way that people who haven't memorized the actor order in each wad can understand.

Yes, there are unique weapons (drzombiemansummoner, etc.). The monsters are inherited, and use a translation line. But yes, they would need a one-off script and a copy of the original monster's death state that tells the powers that be they have died in order for the system to be adjusted.

If Banjo reads this, I would like him to know that he need not concern himself with this matter presently. I'll hack it in later if I decide to do this.
