All client data is saved on the server ( user name + password, for client login to server )

Client data will be encrypted in a non-published format, very secret binary format.

Any/all server side functionality will be added. This can include the following:

- Grappling hook //

- player id // Shown in lower right corner (name, level, skin)

- play wav files to other players, maybe provide an optional pak file

- chasecam

- new HUD // shows level, game score, rank/num players

- IP banning // given in code

- new commands can be added if they make sense

- no countdown on mega health (don't feel like recreating on reconnect)

- Introduction Menu

- Maybe add stat menu to inventory menu

There are different levels based on score, score is frags - deaths

Levels are based on score, you start out at level 0:

Level 1 - 200 - Regen Health

Level 2 - 500 - Grapple Steal

Level 3 - 1000 - Rapid Fire

Level 4 - 2000 - Resist

Level 5 - 4000 - Vampire

Level 6 - 8000 - Strength / Invisible Grapple Line

Level 7 - 16000 - 3x Ammo

Level 8 - 32000 - Quad

Super Powers are:

Regen Health - Your health regenerates slowly

Grapple Steal - When you hit someone with the grapple, you steal ammo

Rapid Fire - You fire twice as fast

Resist - You take 3/4 damage

Vampire - You gain half of damage inflicted for health

Strength - You inflict 1.5x damage

Invs - Grapple Line is not drawn (works great with grapple steal)

3x Ammo - You can hold 3x ammo

Quad - Full time quad

Frags - Frag award is based on health removed divided by a level factor

Factors:

Level 0 = 10

Level x = 10 + 5x

It is possible to get no points for a frag. If you get a lucky kill on a player with few health.

This is based on 5 points for killing someone your level with full health.

It is possible to get more than 5 points for killing someone your own level if they keep going for health.

If someone else shoots your target, you restart you health accumulation.

Deaths - Death penalty is based on level that kills you

0 - any level above you

1 - your level

2x - level below you ( you - 2, they - 1, you lose 2 frags ) ( you - 3, they - 1, you lose (3-1)*2= 4 frags )

There will also be a health bonus based on level:

Level 0 = 50

Level x = 50 + 25x

The dedicated server for this will be a complete user friendly windows interface. This will not work on anything but windows, because that is all that I know.

Client data files can be copied to other servers, server's must provide an email to honor client requests for copying. Maybe we have a registration database somehow, but that's in the future.
