»SWC: Developers To-Do List

[HokieBT]

This is just general thread to try and keep a To-Do list of features that we plan to add or fix in SWC.  We get a lot of PM's and good suggestions on the forum on how this mod can be improved.  While we appreciate all the support and interest, we're all very busy in real life, so its sometimes tough to try and keep all the idea's organized and remember to review a PM or post in the future, etc.  I'm going to start with breaking it down into three categories:

CURRENT = What people are currently working on
NEXT = After we finish the current tasks, then we'll plan to work on these
FUTURE = Longer term goals or ideas

Now, this isn't a complete list, and the other developers don't have to use this thread, so they may be working on other stuff as well.  But this is mainly to help my own organization since I sometimes forget about what needs to be done, etc.

NEXT TO-DO LIST

Coding

• Review Revan Shan's PM and posts about the planets on the map, what faction they are, etc.
• Review Adraz Rhua's PM and posts about the troops, factions, equipment, etc.
• Add some alien races to the bandits
• Review if we should reduce the number of troops in the hutt faction and potentially all factions
• Review if planets can also have the upgrades (force-sensitive temple, clone chambers, rancor pit, etc)
• See if we can improve ranged troops AI logic to stop them from charging into melee, etc. - Done, from 0.9.0.2 we're using Motomataru's new AI
• See if you can get a prize or money for winning a cantina fight, or a town fight, etc.

Animations

• Review the other new animations that Swyter created

Sounds

• Review the sound effects in the game and try and eliminate some of the old native ones
• Review trying to have a speeder bike make sound when moving (all bikes is difficult, player bike only may be pretty easy)

FUTURE TO-DO LIST

Coding

• Port to Warband when it is released
• Think about adding more factions
• Think about adding time-specific events (destruction of the Death Star, Thrawn, Yuuzhan Vong, etc)
• Look into changing skeleton sizes (WookieWarlord and Giants and Dwarves mod has more info)
• Look into the updated BSG code for the Space Battles

This thread was originally started by me to try and be better organized about the future plans for SWC.  Unfortunately, I am too busy to take an active role in this project any further so Swyter and the rest of the team will be working on this.  Therefore, I'm going to lock and un-sticky this thread, thx.
