What might be even better would be a launcher that's a standard part of the game, and maintained by the staff as such. Is the person who created the 1.09 era-launcher still about?

EDIT - Disregard the above. I downloaded the launcher, it works fine, and I love it. I would recommend that it is put in an accessible place on the website, though, and is regularly maintained by the staff.

Prehaps there could be a command that would be the opposite of forceskin that would prevent you from using a character (And would most likely get rid of those thokfest whiners)...

And maybe something like a flight time for character wads so that flying characters don't have to be Tails clones...

Banskin? (We don't have this, but I assume that this would be the command)

How about a Supervirus Tag mode?
Here's how it would work:
Players spawn. Random player gets supervirus(auto-runs, no brakes),timer ticks down.
Whoever has the supervirus when time runs out dies and the game picks another victim.
Scoring would be similar to normal Tag mode.

I'm gonna tell my ideas for SRB2, I guess. Sorry if I suggest stuff wich were suggested!

-Super Emeralds, an ability to go hyper, Tails could go super.

-More character making flexibility, like supercolor, waterskip, and maybe custom character abilities.

-Less difficulty: Maybe just I'm a bad gamer, but it took me 45 minutes to complete Egg Rock Zone Act 2....

-More enemies: In GFZ, we have blue crawlas, fishes. Hope to see them in future versions! :D

-Maybe a Domination mode, which is practically a mix of Match and CTF.
There are multiple bases in the map, 2 teams own 1-1 of them. Players can capture neutral bases, as well as the other team's bases. The goal is to have the most bases until the time limit expires.

AKA, remove all gameplay. S3&K only added hypers to make people collect a second emerald set. Hypers were OVERKILL.

Those were removed for a REASON. Thank SMS for the majority of it!

Do keep in mind that two zones and 2 more acts for previous zones and MAYBE a 1 act zone are yet to be put in.

There are super simple enemies in GFZ for a reason.

You mean CP? Well, I dunno how that would work in SRB2. SRB2 is a game based on moving around a lot you know, and standing still or being in a small space makes you a giant target. Though, that and KOTH might be possible...

Character creation is ridiculously nerfed in the current version. Jazz has publicly stated this and explained Mystic wanted to get rid of the overpoweredness, but nobody implemented a more balanced system to replace it.

No, he means Domination. Contrary to most beliefs, first person shooters had already established themselves as a genre before TF2.

Well, they ARE the same thing. It's just a different name. But I forgot about the Unreal series :P

[Kaysakado]

No, D00D, they're not. CP is linear, Domination is not, among other differences.

A flag to make a Rising FOF wait a bit before falling back down. Rising FOFs which you have to spindash on are currently useless because you need to jump to stop spinning, making the FOF fall back down.

[Flame]

If the player is "Springing", the player should change back to his "Springing" state if traveling upward if previously being in their falling animation.

if ((player->mo->state == &states[S_PLAY_FALL1]
        || player->mo->state == &states[S_PLAY_FALL2]) 
        && (player->mo->momz > 0))
     P_SetPlayerMobjState(player->mo, S_PLAY_PLG1);

The same thing should apply for when the player is upside down. Also the player should be given the correct spring frame when "Springing" upside down.

if ((player->mo->state == &states[S_PLAY_FALL1]
        || player->mo->state == &states[S_PLAY_FALL2]) 
        && (player->mo->momz < 0) && (player->mo->eflags & MFE_VERTICALFLIP))
     P_SetPlayerMobjState(player->mo, S_PLAY_PLG1);
else if (player->mo->state == &states[S_PLAY_PLG1] 
        && (player->mo->momz > 0) && (player->mo->eflags & MFE_VERTICALFLIP))
     P_SetPlayerMobjState(player->mo, S_PLAY_FALL1);

Oh we know, we just want them back.

Bi-directional conveyor belt

It's a conveyor belt that changes its direction (invert direction in 180 degrees) every X tics. Likely LD-510, the linedef length controls the speed; the direction the flat will scroll is the linedef direction; A linedef flag sets the conveyor as bi-directional; front side X-texture offset defines the time in tics that conveyor belt inverts its direction.

EDIT:

Transfer line working for X-texture offset

I'm testing the "Transfer line" flag in a FOF-conveyor belt, I discovered that "Transfer line" can transfer Y-texture offset very well, but can't do it with X-texture offset. I'd like to "scroll" a bit THZCONV1 and THZCONV3 textures.

Leaves particles

I just found it nice: Leaves particles (movie 0'24'' - Project Mettrix). Pay attention to the leaves that fall off the branches.

We need a few more Trigger Linedef Executor conditions. Here are some suggestions:

1. Trigger Linedef Executor - Sector Overlap: The concept is simple: if an FOF is within the floor and ceiling limits of the sector (or a sector or FOF is inside another FOF), the Linedef Executor is triggered. This could produce effects such as a gateway in which a pole rises, touches the top, and sets off a pole right next to it, which does the same thing, and repeats itself.
2. Trigger Linedef Executor - Has Powerup: This linedef executor trigger will activate if a character with a Shield or something enters it.

Complementing fawfulfan's idea:

Maybe I'm crazy. This idea came from this post (about Attraction Shield):

Some traps and effects could be triggered depending on the shield you are using.

[SpiritCrusher]

The problem with this is: How would a player guess that he needs a shield in order for a trigger to work, especially which shield?

[Demyx]

Lightdash is actually very useful in some places when there is a string of rings leading to another platform you have to use it a ot in some wad levels like Sa2 an SRB2U so i wouldn't exactly call it useless just not really used much cause no one ever thinks about that.

That's up for the map designer to create some sort of giveaway. How would you know you you have to collect rings for a linedef executor to run without some sort of instruction telling you to do so?

[Demyx]

Well if you play it an have to skip levels by multiplayer cause of that ringline you have to use lightdash for. but most people i play there levels some add scripts to bring lightdash back.
