so yeah, there was a thread here adressing the issue, which was later locked and deleted, for not being an actuall suggestion, but observation

anyway, the thread was about one of the players observations during playing boxing server
one of the players was streaking in boxing mod using kicks, which is ofc sad and gay and should not be the case in boxing mods.

the issue exist and there is solution for that is simple and will benefit both players and mod makers:

adding new body type flag "soft" so bodyparts marked as "soft" are unable to cause damage to opponents.

in short if you try to kick opponent with your leg, it would not bring you any score.

the body flag "soft" will also resolve a noobhugs issue in very same boxing mods by limiting ability to damage your opponent with only hands.

and resolve noobhugs issue in no grab mods, for example wushu (when applied with points score system)

in short, "soft" body flag will allow to shape meta according to modders preferences, so we may have more mods that resemble irl sports and it's mecahnics.

for example judo mod based around judo throws or taekwondo or anything modder wish to make.

Needs some thinking but I love the concept (for some mods obviously). But can you explain to me how would that solve noob hugs?

why not play a boxing mod where you cant move your legs.
fixes the problem entierly

Not really, lol. Footwork is pretty important in how you position yourself for a punch etc..

well im talking about the "gtboxing" mods.
didnt play them alot but proper punches are possible.

when you noobhug, points you are recieving are based on number of contacts with opponnent and presure.

there is a difference when just 2 parts count instead of 8 or 10.

+ which parts, in case of boxing mod biceps, shoulders and triceps are the main hug damage dealers, if these would not count, then you would not be able to do much if anything during the noobhugs when only hands can cause damage.


it does, but it gimps you in terms of movement and drasticly limits what you can do.

look at this as not only boxing but general feature

Snake, please, would you stop posting this idea in every thread (and I guess it isn't even the first thread you make that's directly dedicated to this idea)? This is hella annoying.

Everybody has heard you, now calm down and wait.
