What if they could be used too add to the customization? You could make some modifications to the weapons of your class when you picked it. But you'd want to take some steps to ensure people can't make unbalanced weapons. If you added to a weapons firing speed for example than you'd have to take away from power or accuracy or blast radius before you could use it. So it would be like Red Eclipses variables except for it would be part of the gameplay without making things unbalanced and you wouldn't have to play on a modified server, it'd just be part of the experience. This can overwhelm normal players who just want to have fun, which is one of the reasons why RE isn't as popular as Sauerbraten. I believe it's best to give mappers and server owners the biggest deal of control over gameplay, but keep the core gameplay experience intact, ie things should happen the way the player expects, you don't have to spent a lot of time learning how to play a map or on a server, you just connect and start fragging (which is one of the reasons behind Sauer's success). When making a map if you feel you need more control over some aspects of gameplay in the map, you can always make a suggestion and we will happily give it to you.

Have you ever considered having the ability to load sauerbraten's maps for bot matches. Not for online because not everybody has sauerbraten but there are a lot of sauer maps that would be a blast in RR.
You might have to set it up so that not all sauer ammo pickups are converted to RR ammo because imagine how much ammo there would be. RE has something like this but I don't know how it actually finds your Sauerbraten directory and loads the textures.

I actually tried that once but I had problems with loading data. Sauer maps will require the models and textures from Sauer in addition to RR content. But you just gave me the idea to load files in map cfgs from the Sauer dir and everything else from RR's.
You can check out my attempt by setting "showsauermaps" to 1 and setting "sauerdir" to your Sauerbraten path. How should however play one RR map first to make sure all models and textures load correctly.

The feature is great, it even converts health boost to mortars. If you fixed that loading issue you mentioned than it would be perfect.

Have bots heal wounded teammates and some sort of indicator when your teammates are injured so you can heal them?

Have bots heal wounded teammates and some sort of indicator when your teammates are injured so you can heal them? That's not a bad idea. I do know if one of the bots cross a teammate that his shooting the healing ray it will heal him. I just don't think its on purpose. Ed
