Also the baloons and bumpers and spikes and spikechains are inspired from
sonic games, so if you want to have a platforming feel to a map, all you must
do is enable that mutator :) and set how many you want. If you wish you can
set it to have spikes on every single surface, up down right left forward
back.
You can also spawn tanktraps and abandoned buildings to go with your vehicle
match (mil and/or civ vehicles can be enabled)
There are LOD models for all the tanks and spikes and bumpers and mounted
guns, and the planes, and the combat cars.
There are mechs too (2 of them, to enable you press the M button on the side
of the vehicle mutator spot). The rest of the civillian cars don't have LOD
yet
The LOD models I found helped with performance a good deal. Note the movement
docs (posted in the first post here and in the blog on SF) to know how to
reload (r) bullet and rocket based weapons and also tanks and helicopters.
Also you can start forest fires with the torch if it's lit (r) or the
fireball weapon or the fire spells. You can put them out with the sparrow
helicopter if it has a nozzel, or you can use a delugegun (one of the mounted
guns).
It is very hard though as burning trees and bushes ignite others around them
every 2 seconds. My firefighter friend said it was very hard to put out such
fires in real life, so you get the challenge too. Also buring trees destroy
pickups around them, untill the fire is gone, so it is a way to deny an area
of any real use (and the trees burn you too).
Foliage can either be suggested in the maps .mapinfo file or enabled in the
mutator section (or both, inwhichcase the mutator setting override if they
are enabled) You can set the overgrowth (0 = on grass only, 1...7 = more
types of terrain grown on (note: if you're in an all concrete map, don't set
it to 0 as the game will pause for a long while searching for a spot to spawn
foliage before giving up not finding one (if it fails more than 500 times and
the fail ratio is 1.5 to 1 (I think that's what I made it, can't remember),
it quits trying)
