That's basically the same as the JTE bots. :/
...not always
<Sonic Bot> Oh hey rings just fell out of that player and into a pit. I must chase them!
Personally, I'd like to see the bots come back myself*, although yeah, I also see how they would suck in some of 2.0's levels.
Would a simple waypoint system for them work though? A script lump with a format like this?
*I have very fond memories of loading up Mystic Realm, entering coop, adding a bunch of bots with coop AI on, and leading a stampede through the levels until it crashed. Fun times...

Code:
WAYPOINT 1
type = WALK (walk, jump, spin, tailsfly, knuxclimb)
x = 0
y = 0
z = 0
waypointconnect = 2, 3, 4*I have very fond memories of loading up Mystic Realm, entering coop, adding a bunch of bots with coop AI on, and leading a stampede through the levels until it crashed. Fun times...
Waypoints would be the ONLY way to make the bots work, but then you lose compatibility with existing maps, and the map creators are then responsible for adding bot support to their levels. It's too much of a fuss for subpar AI.
Edit: Though a dumb Tails bot for single player mode might be fun to play around with. :)

1. Make a emerald toss action for Match/CTF mode.
I find it annoying when someone has almost all the emeralds but someone on the same team has the other ones, and you can't get them from him/her.
2. Third person pointer (I can't remember the word)
...For people who like to play in third person.

It is. It's just that he doesn't know :P
So... this could have an Emerald Check Parameter Linedef Trigger that "reads" how many emeralds the player has collected. Depending on the number of emeralds, a certain event could be activated. A very simple example: player collected 6 emeralds except 5th emerald, then a CECHO shows up "You have not collected the Red Emerald! // You have to <insert something here>".
How would it "read" how many emeralds the player has collected? Each emerald would receive a "bit" value: none = 1; 1st = 2; 2nd = 4; 3rd = 8; 4th = 16; 5th = 32; 6th = 64; 7th = 128; and 8th = 256. The linedef lenght is the bit somatory of emeralds that will trigger the linedef executor.

-Pop up sectors .The first one pops up quickly then return instead of just moving fast only, they could be used to make pop up spikes.
The second one working the same way except knocks the player upwards in the air placing them in their hurt frame without hurting them.
-A water jet object that works like the flame jets except bumps the player into the direction they are going on contact.

It exists via Gargoyle Rooms. Just have one trigger spikes shooting up really fast and one retracting them slower.
1) Smoother camera alignment on water slides
Camera aligns too abruptly to character's trajectory on curved water slides. This should be smoother. See 1st DSZ2's water slide. I have some levels that use some 90º turns on water slides, seems the camera will hit the walls...
2) Getting camera unstuck from FOF's surfaces
This happens in Lift Bridge Zone (my CTF level) and Twisted Terminal Zone. On LBZ, if character gets into the bridge's tubes, the camera gets stuck outside, over the FOF (this worked so well in 1.09.4). On TTZ, if I do toggle chasecam while I'm in underground, the camera gets stuck over the FOF.
(in pictures above, the character was actually under the FOF, but the camera was stuck over the FOF)
3) New thing: Fireball Spawner
Works almost like Rock Spawner but instead of making rocks fall from a cliffside, it makes fireballs that hurts the player; if falling on floor, stick on floor like slimeballs (Egg Slime) and disappear after some few seconds.
I think of using it in things like this:
:D
