This page lists all options which have been suggested to us as things you would like to see and may one day in the future get into the game. Being listed here does not guarantee that it will be added though, if you see something listed that you would also like to see; then please add a comment so we can see how popular this would be.

Possible future feature switches

These options might get implemented once the core features of the game are there. To allow players to change the game mechanics to their likings a little more.

VIPs block doors

Instead of creating graphical "glitches" the VIP could block a door when he is looking into the room. This was the behaviour in Beta 8.

Consultants can learn new skills

A consultant could for example study by himself in the training room to get proficient in the skills he didn't master before he became a consultant.

It has also been suggested that there be a cheat to upskill any Dr of your choosing - see issue 689

Nurses

Allowing nurses to work in other rooms i.e. blood machine room. For more details, see issue 1100 and issue 1110

Staff Placement

To have different options for utilising staff. The current one is that staff will stay in the room you place them until they are called elsewhere.

Other choices could include:

Making specialst staff only work in the room of their specialism i.e.

Surgeons only working in the Operating Theatre .

Doctor's can only work in clinics.

Consultants are the only ones that can diagnose, see issue 1248.

To have the ability to place the desired receptionist against the preferred desk of the player. see issue 1201

To have staff notice queues are building up and go to spare rooms sooner. see issue 1069

For trainees to return to the same room they were in before (Consultant too) so that they continue to learn the skills you want first. see issue 1069

When staff are called to a room that the nearest one takes the call in preference to someone at the other end of the hospital see issue 1069

Rooms

To have different shaped rooms, with corners etc that would fit into some of the spaces you can be left with. See issue 1180.

Have an option to chose the wall and floor colour of the rooms you build, see issue 1267.

To be able to have some rooms with more than one door - see forum

Make some rooms smaller or add more objects so that you really feel that the size is necessary - see issue 1458

Objects

To have an option to place the bins in corridors - see issue 1677

Perhaps the placement of bins should affect how much litter is being dropped by the patients i.e. if a patient walks past a bin within x tiles of the vending machine there is no litter dropped.

Map Editor

Some pre-built tile sets i.e. helipad, see issue 1300.

Some automatic random garden items and road and path edge placements, see issue 1301 and issue 1304.

Custom Maps

It would be nice to make the level briefing of any custom levels we include in a release translateble - see issue 1501

Operating system specific/Installer

Participate in windows error reporting, see issue 1313.

Have signed executables, see issue 1299.

Give every executable and dll files a version number. This is easier for testing. Everyone can see then which version of CorsixTH or a dll file we are using and if that file needs an update to resolve an issue.

PowerPC Mac Support see issue 1289 SDL (in linux) shortcuts such as alt-tab won't work. See issue 1176.

Provide support for other operating systems i.e. for gcc2 and the Haiku operating system, see issue 1316.

Music

To package our own none copyrighted music, see issue 1377.

Save game dialog

Add blinking cursor to where you type save name.

Produce more autosaves and the possibility of knowing which level/map it is from the save name! - see issue 1591

Replay function

To ease debugging and let others see how you play a replay function would be useful. See issue 105.

Different Options for Pausing Game

To allow the user to build whilst the game is paused (this is possible now, but would probably need to be removed or altered when we have multiplayer).

To allow the user to have each new level remain paused until the build timer is closed. See issue 1375.

To have the game speed displayed over the main screen area for a few seconds and always whilst on pause, see issue 164.

Game Play Usability

To have an option to start a new campaign or resume existing campaign and then be taken to a second menu that shows which levels you have completed. (You then have the option to replay this level.) See issue 1438 for details.

Filter Option in staff management screen

To be able to filter on the speicalisms of your doctors and see how many doctors you have for each of the specialisations, see issue 1418 and issue 1633.

CorsixTH (auto) updater

An updater which checks automaticly by startup of CorsixTH if there's a new version available. It could also show a changelog and some news about CorsixTH. See issue 1419 for more information about this idea.

There's a (experimental) patch available to add an automatic updater at issue 1547.

Aspect ratio/Multi-Display Support

For the game to allow none standard resolutions and preserve the aspect ratio if the player opts to split the display over more than one monitor - see issue 681 for more details To be able to play on a second/additional monitor - see issue 684, see issue 1488, see issue 1069

Bottom Menu Bar

To have an option to auto-hide this menu or pin it as you can in windows with the task bar - see issue 1372 for more details

Allow game to use libAV instead of libswresample

If libswrresample in ffmpeg is unavailable the game should handle to use libAV instead (e.g. on Ubuntu)

More info: http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/issues/detail?id=1545

Support for right-to-left languages

CorsixTH lacks support for Right-to-Left languages like Arabic and Hebrew etc, see issue 836.

Mouse pointer should be locked in window boundaries when playing CorsixTH in windowed mode

Nothing stops you from moving mouse pointer outside the game window now. This makes scrolling difficult and makes it possible to click on stuff at your desktop or other windows by accident, see issue 657.

Zoom

It would be nice if at all possible to have a zoom function in the SDL version see issue 1577 Also requested is the means to hit a key and return to the default view position. see issue 1649

Object Placement

To have the ability to place objects that can then section off part of the hospital and make it unreachable see issue 785

Animation Viewer

It would be nice if this would remember the location of your files between uses. see issue 1021

Easter Eggs and Other Surprises

There was a quirk in TH where you could get handymen to become hairy. It would be nice to have a similar hidden feature in CTH some day, although to say what here would defeat the purpose. Perhaps we could have some special cheats, we have some of them now - have you found them yet? see issue 1381

Screenshots

As we have an option to take screenshots and also an option of where to save them it would be nice if we could choose the format. The existing one produces largish files, so perhaps png? see issue 1477

Help and About

One suggestion is to have an in-game drop down menu (help) that includes an about menu. The sort of thing that tells you what the current version is and some information about CorsixTH, website links etc. see issue 1687 As part of the same suggestion there is the idea of a thank you page or list of all those that have contributed to the development of the game so far. This could also be a page on the website or wiki.

Machines Menu

To have a menu similar to the one for Calls that lists all the machines you have along with their current strength/uses that shows the weakest ones at the top. It could also perhaps highlight those that are close to being destroyed. Clicking on the button could take you to the machine location and also call for repair at the same time. see issue 1667

Miscellaneous

The ability to bribe the local authority or a charity for a reputation boost. There should of course be a chance that you can get caught out (bad headlines in the paper) and then a reputation loss. see issue 1667

To have the ability to spend more on research see issue 1667

To click on a patient as read his or her thoughts about your hospital see issue 1667

Seasonal Illness peaks i.e. more broken bones in winter months see issue 1667
