| 00:01.08 | Delusional | yeah, blast and jeff are correctâ¦. I just ran a test, concave or other complex meshes will require an inside point. It doesnt seem to have a problem with an icosahedron, but this sombrero plane has flags in it until I add an inside point. |

| 00:44.42 | JeffM[m] | the code fix was to better handle convex objects. they basically assume the center point is an automatic inside point. |
| 00:47.14 | JeffM[m] | I'm looking for feedback on a game design document, I have no clue how far I'll take it but I wanted to see how much of something I could get pre-defined in a document. https://github.com/OmniTanks/Documentation/raw/master/OmniTanks%20Design%20Notes.pdf Any feedback anyone is willing to provide would be appreciated. |
| 01:14.30 | Zehra | Alright. From networking/protocol specs, no comment as outside of my field. The game concept, from what I see, seems mostly solid, however the part of "values" appears to be missing in a sense... (give me a minute or two to explain.) |
| 01:15.45 | Zehra | While there is three different classes, the equipment can be used by "all" classes, which seems to be a bit off, normally some "equipment" should either be limited to perhaps light, medium or heavy classes... |
| 01:16.05 | JeffM[m] | it is limited, read the chart |
| 01:16.11 | JeffM[m] | it's a big document |
| 01:17.17 | blast007 | JeffM[m]: is there only a single type of "special" ammunition that would drop from enemies, as in, it would be compatible with all weapons that take special ammo? |
| 01:17.29 | JeffM[m] | yes, destiny style |
| 01:17.37 | blast007 | k |

| 02:26.01 | Delusional | picked out one thing, page 9 in Destroy Target âMission fails if all team tanks are destroyed. Respawns can happen only as long as one team member is alive.â .. so one guy hides behind a wall and itâs impossible for a mission to fail? |
| 02:46.00 | Delusional | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:46.31 | Delusional | and why not a âRecharge Beamâ |
| 02:47.35 | Delusional | Or repair/recharge world objects. |
| 02:47.39 | JeffM[m] | Good point, there are ways to mitigate campers. Repair beam is auto locking, it targets at teammate in a cone. |
| 02:48.15 | JeffM[m] | There are repair pickups, they are described as armor pickups, |
| 02:55.33 | JeffM[m] | there are two resrouces to manage, there is a charge meter that is seperate from health, and that does recharge over time on it's own, so it didn't need a pickup. It's there to be a gating factor for equipment |
| 02:56.41 | Delusional | Is target designator line-of-sight? |
| 02:56.49 | JeffM[m] | yes |
| 02:56.58 | Delusional | put that in there |
| 02:57.03 | JeffM[m] | that's one I'm most iffy about :) |
| 02:57.04 | JeffM[m] | ok |
| 02:57.31 | Delusional | yeah, that one seems like it could be a tipping point |
| 02:57.56 | JeffM[m] | it's goal is to encourage teamwork |
| 03:04.54 | Delusional | If designator only works for mortars and missiles, itâs usefulness is somewhat limited, but those are also long range weapons⦠yeah, itâs gonna be tough to get all the variables tuned, where people will gladly equip their tank with designator, but it does not also become too overpowering |
| 03:05.47 | Delusional | definitely a teamwork item though |
| 03:07.36 | Delusional | if your opponent doesnât choose the right weapons, you can sit back over the hill and pound on him while taking no damage. |
| 03:21.48 | Delusional | Oh, Omni-Directional Wheels⦠the way âRadarâ is described sounds more like âX-Ray Specsâ |
| 03:27.34 | JeffM[m] | it should probalby be named "enahnced sensors" or something |
| 03:28.08 | JeffM[m] | I was thinking back scatter radar kinda stuff. |
| 03:35.45 | JeffM[m] | also there is no human opponent |
| 03:46.06 | Delusional | Even in FFA? |
| 03:49.08 | JeffM[m] | it is not bzflag |
| 03:50.01 | JeffM[m] | Free For All is a "loot mode" not a game play mode |
| 03:50.17 | JeffM[m] | it has to do with dropped armor and ammo pickups |
| 03:57.59 | JeffM[m] | is it all too confusing? |
| 04:19.44 | Delusional | It is a lot to take in all at once. |
| 04:28.45 | JeffM[m] | that was my fear |
| 04:54.26 | JeffM[m] | I've updated the document based on your comments, thanks |
