Hi there.

I am from germany, sorry for my bad english :cry:

Anyway I have a Idea. This would be a really big mode and I am not sure if it will work or not because I don't have any experience in programming.

Well this is my Idea:

(Some informations, I put them into the spoiler so you can click them away.)

I play a game called Crossfire. Crossfire was announced as a free counter strike source alternative and it is really crap. I downloaded it some time ago when a update made the game unplayable for me.

There are a lot of bad things about crossfire, they don't have real 3D sounds (cant tell where the enemy is by the sounds), the damage reg system is bad (you shot the enemy and they don't count it = no damage made to the enemy) and there are a lot of hackers and you can't kick them because we don't have any admins.

Crossfire is really a bad game but I like the ranking mode

In Crossfire you have to create a Profile (http://i.imgur.com/T7MNZ.jpg) and you start with 50.000 $. When you start the game you can go to the Buy Menu (http://i.imgur.com/8Rqvp.jpg) or your Inventory (http://i.imgur.com/8Ir7p.jpg) (before you join a server to play) and you can manage your stuff there.

In Crossfire you don't buy your weapons every round, you have to buy them in the Item Shop and they stay in your inventory for ever. When I first played CF I thought you could buy them like in CS. I bought a 40.000$ gun and sold it the same day :lol: That's bad because you level up and earn money really slowly in Crossfire

That whole ranking mode makes you addicted to the game because you always want to get a higher level and buy new weapons.

I want something similar for CS or CSS, I prefer CSS.

When you join a server it creates a profile for you.
You wont need a password and login name because the server can recognize you from your Steam-ID. Well I think it does, doesn't it? There are other servers with rank up modes and they always recognize me, I think it's because of the Steam-ID because my IP always change and I also change my name.

Anyway, you have a account and you start with Level 1 and you have to level up.

The max level could be 50 or something like that. All the weapons are unlocked at level 5 or 10, you don't have to reach the max level to buy everything. Everything above level 10 is only to buy some new hats or other details that look cool but doesn't make you play better.

There are also some badges (http://i.imgur.com/gT1Ga.jpg), your earn them buy killing 1000 guys with a handgun or doing a lot of knife kills.

There is a badge for everything, if you do 250 or 500 rifle kill you get a assult badge level 1 (goes up till level 9 or something like that) if you do 1000 kills with a knife then you get a knife badge (http://i.imgur.com/e6kMU.jpg), its called assassin badge in Crossfire

You win a temporary gun (last for 7 days) for wining a new badge. When you do 1000 rifle kills you get a special m4 with a scope and you can use it for the next 7 days, when the 7 days are over it's removed from your inventory.

When the game starts and you press B the Inventory (not the buy menu) comes up. You see all your weapons here. I think everybody should start with a mp5 or uzi and a USP. In Crossfire you start with the m16 and a m700 (scout). So I thought we could make it similar in the css mode, you start with a mp5 and a m700 and you get the USP as a handgun. You have also a Grenade, you have to buy flashbang and smoke later. You have to press B to enter your inventory and you can chose your weapons here. When you go to the pistols only the USP shows up (others are dark or removed) because you only have the USP, when you buy other weapons then they are listed there too.

There is a reason why I want B to be the key for the inventory and not the buy menu. Now you have to buy a new weapon every round unless you die but when you play this mode you have to take your weapon from your inventory and you only buy new stuff once a week or something like that.

We also need new weapons, I think everybody tried all the weapons in css. We need more weapons so there is a reason to level up. New weapons like the Tar21 or the XM8. Or new version of existing weapons like a m4 with a scope.

Well I think that's all for now. I come up with more if I something in my mind.

here are some other threads about my idea. 1 (http://forums.eventscripts.com/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=44362&p=388842#p388842) 2 (http://forums.eventscripts.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=44363) (german language) 3 (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2095991) but they are all almost the same.

Ohh and please don't delete my post, I put a lot of work into it. If you want to delete it then please send my a copy of it as pm so I can post it to another forum.

The main problem i think would be adding new weapons... Simply because i don't know if it is possible. I guess not. But, is possible to fake some scope effects and things like that.

Some of the stuff is impossible to create, maybe with a little optimization, but hooking it up with the buy menu just wont work.

im not sure but it may be possible to simply set buytime to 0 or just hook some usermessages and open a menu instead

It would have like the same model of weapons, but maybe store in a value that the player is equiped with a different weapon and different damages?

The most important thing about this mode are the weapons.

I don't know if you guys played crossfire, I downloaded it because my fast computer got to hot and then burned down. So I had to use my old computer and my old computer was to old for counter strike so I tried crossfre. Crossfire is a bad game.

The damage registering system is bad, when one of the players lag they don't get dmg sometimes. Sometimes you shot your enemy and you see him bleeding but he gets no dmg because of lag or what ever. There are many other bad things about crossfire.

The only good thing about crossfire are all the weapons. It's really funny to try new weapons. Counter Strike is a nice game but I play it since version 1.6 and I am bored of using the same weapons again and again.
