Ideas for resources
by Thomas \"Man of Ice\" Lund · in Torque Game Engine · 06/09/2004 (8:08 am) · 9 replies
I recently read a plan about someone returning back to the community (sorry - cant remember your name) and wishing there were more resources.
So I wanted to start a tread about what people are looking for and/or missing in terms of addons. Anything goes, and feel free to post any idea you got.
Who knows - maybe someone picks up one of these and actually codes them (I might do some of them when I get a little more time)
My personal wish list:
* A resource on creating interiors programatically (like creating a box including collision from C++)
* AI pathfinding (I know some ppl are working on this)

(Beffy's also working on a C++-based pathfinding solution, though not sure if that will be released as a resource or as a content pack. Phil Carlisle is doing the same, check out his recent .plans.)

@Thomas, I'd check out Steffy's advanced AI bots and Josef's pathfinding resource. I've been looking at both in order to devise my own pathfinding scheme.(Beffy's also working on a C++-based pathfinding solution, though not sure if that will be released as a resource or as a content pack.

Bigger terrain. One of the most requested features for torque I think. It doesnt have to be infinite with a complex paging system- Just making it 1024x1024 instead of 256x256 would make a big difference.

Thomas, Mostlikely had something like your first idea. He worked on Tribes 2's "construction mod" if you ever played it.

How about trimming for the decals? That'd be neat but Its a complicated problem.
