Current Wishlist Note: the following wishlist is now OBSOLETE, stored for archiving purposes only. General Bugfixes/Corrections Enhancements Revive from earlier C&C Totally new Features Weapons Related Art Related Sound Related & Miscellaneous Multiplayer

Sound Related

• Enable unused EVA voices
• Make adding sound effects easier(maybe in a mix file instead of audio.bag).
• Allow sound effects to use other file formats(like .aud).
• Clone "CloakSound=" (in rulesmd.ini) to add another cloaking or decloaking sound or the possibility of add a "CloakSound=" to each unit/infantry to hear a lot of differents cloak/decloak sounds, and using the [AudioVisual] entry only as defaults.

Miscellaneous

• A pseudocode of how the AI works/carries out scripting actions would be really interesting, and aid AI modders in debugging their AI scripts (like more explanations of action 63,0, among other stuff)
• Adjusting the flight locomotor to allow non-VTOL behaviour.
• A mod filter facility for internet games (and LAN too I suppose). presumably reading a value from rulesmd.ini to determine mod name. Doubt this is possible but it's a wish none the less.
• Maybe an error log file(like if the game can't find a shp file it would write an error message in the file).
• Allow to Change unit health bar.
• Use true color for graphics instead of limited 256 color palettes
• Making the Slaves of the slave miner will be take control
• Make the unit***.pal, affected by the colour of the light, it is already affected by ambient, as opposed to the iso***.pal, which is affected by both.
• Seperate the ring animation that plays when the Mutator is fired from the one used by the ion cannon effect (either map triggered or hopefully the full superweapon in the future). Currently both are controlled by the IonRing= statment IIRC.
• Tell us how much damage the Genetic Mutator is hard coded to deal, and possibly add a rules flag to make it modifiable.
• Remove the 8 character limit for file names. (The existence of this is being questioned)
• Enable up to 10 players in skirmish max.
• Allow <Player@X> to be used as the side parameter correctly for more trigger events and actions and for <Player@X> to be a valid trigger owner (warning, this may be quite easy or exceptionally difficult). Player@X allows you to pass a player side based on starting waypoint to trigger events and actions on a multiplayer map, allowing you to have various scripted things happen to a specific player.
• a greater game speed maximum (e.g. 8) [pd]
• Window/Fullscreen Toggle
• Make Multiplayer maps pay atttention to settings in [SpecialFlags] section and code FogOfWar for that section of multiplayer maps to always be considered yes so FOW can be used on all existing maps.
• In keeping with the coders sense of humor, one of the new tags to parse that enables some new stuff should be "CanMakeStuffUp=yes/no"
• Allow a mod packet to be sent along with the game so that poeple can play together even if one person has an incompatible version
