Hi everyone,
I'm looking to see if any modders would be interested in attempting a new gameplay mechanic for Rugby 08 — something the community has never really had before. I'm calling it the "Friendly Fire / ****le System", inspired by the real-life pushing and shoving you see in almost every match.
What I'm hoping for
A small, fun, rugby-authentic mechanic where the user can manually trigger light scuffs between players — nothing violent, just the kind of shoulder bumps, jersey grabs and post-tackle shoves that happen all the time in real rugby.
The mechanic (simple version)
• A button input triggers a mild shove/push animation
• Works after a tackle, during a ruck, or during off-ball contact
• No punches, nothing OTT — just realistic ****le
• Optional referee consequences (advantage, penalties, or warnings)
The mechanic (expanded version, if possible)
• Different types of shove animations (shoulder bump, light shove, chest-to-chest)
• Player "heat" meter: repeat scuffs risk penalties/cards
• AI players can react with pushbacks or warnings
• Occasional team-mates pulling players away ("leave it!" style animation)
