    So, while I was poking around the KAG files, I stumbled upon some interesting things...
    Maybe these were planned features? Or perhaps they thought it was a bad idea, so they just left it there?
    Well, here they are.
    Powerups

    These things are actual blobs in the game. There are four "types" of them: Red, blue, green and gray. (I somehow couldn't spawn the gray one, oh well) Every colour of powerup you pick up gives its own message in the chat. It does not effect anything though.

    You can spawn it with !powerup
    Bedrock spikes?

    This is also a blob in the game. You cannot collide with it, but it does get affected by gravity, and collides with blocks.

    Even though it's called bedrock spike in the files, you spawn it with !stalagmite
    Warboat door
    screen-15-06-23-12-49-15.png


    This interesting blob can be spawned with !warboat_door. Seconds after you spawn it, it dissapears, so I had to be quick to take the screenshot. It acts like a normal door, and when you go through it, it opens up like one too. Maybe this was going to be a door inside the War Boat? Perhaps it is planned? We'll have to wait and see.

    I hope you liked my list of things I found. Be sure to post if you found something I didn't find!

    Powerups were in early beta but got removed, they were inside TDM

    Bedrock spikes, no idea, possibly planned or scrapped.

    Warboat door is really old too, won't be added I'm pretty sure.

    There are plenty more of forgotten things in the files, but many of them don't have their own blob. I took all of them that had one and put em here.

    please, change it to a normal colour, this hurts my eyes.
    Also you can spawn the war base from WAR gamemode from early beta. It's !warbase i think. Or !war_base.

    Yes, I know, but I didn't include it because almost everyone know that it was gonna be how original KAG is gonna be, but they scrapped it.

    What flowers are you talking about? because flowers are in the game.
     
  9. Favorite, not so forgotten thing, was tree's doing damage on contact after being cutdown as well as logs practically being baseball like boulders

    Lotttttts of old sprites were based on the WAR mode in early beta, which had a sort of respawn system that relied on farming for grain and stuff. (taken out because it was considered distracting and stuff). If I remember, winning was the result of completely teamwiping the enemy team at once.

    Door boats were an old planned thing, never implemented. Same with power ups.

    in the builder sprites there is an animation with an axe, and the old daggers in archer.
    as for practically 50% of classic stuff being dumped in there that was stuff that is just... there.

    I found numerous interesting things including; cars (!car), you can make a flag (!flag_base[indestructible base]) and I found out that you can make mini kegs (!minikeg[the best thing ever])

    bedrock spikes were part of the mechanisms update. currently no map uses them, but they are functional (edit: kinda functional). they are called stalagmites in code
    Code:
    const SColor stalagmite(                    0xFFC000C0); // ARGB(255, 192,   0, 192);

  16. like VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    actually their handling in the map loading code is a bit bugged, they only spawn pointing down (being stalactites, not stalagmites)
