So I had an Idea for a mod, but before I fire up emacs and start working, I like to hear some opinions.

The idea is quite simple, squads/groups are used in other games(shooter and rts) and I think it would be a nice addition.



The Comm:

-can create arbitrary number of squads

-can assign player to a squad

-select a whole squad via shortcut and give commands for the whole squad



A few features for normal players to better see squad members are also possible, but

the main advantage would be that a commander can give commands to 2-5 people at once.

That should make managing and coordinating a team a lot easier.



I can program, but I never worked on a mod for ns2 before.

Thats why I posted this in the first place.



Is it viable with the current mod support from ns2?

Would any of you want to play with such a mod?

Or is it a complete and utter waste of time?



Thanks!
