Battle Racing Script, Need Maper
« on: November 07, 2007, 04:50:50 pm »
Unlike my previous Galaga Mode, which might not work, this Mode I think will actually work!
Brace yourselves for the ULTIMATE Soldat Subgamemode!
Ok, now let me explain, btw I want NO ONE to script this without my permission and put this on there server, if you PM me and say I want to script this and put it on my server and I'll give you the script is very unlikely to get favorable response! I'll put it on my server only, sry but I put alot of thought into this mode and I don't want anyone else to use it.

Ok, now explaination, this mode is meant to be like Mario Kart Crash Tag Team Racing etc. but I don't want it to be like that. (by the way, even though this is a SUBgamemode this mode will blow mario kart etc.s butts away, it will be so fun!)
This is a combination of Hover Racing and Just plain Racing, in Hover you go up down and sideways in this mode you can only go diaganally and sideways. You can either A) Slide by going prone or B) use a deagle (Yes deagle, I'll explain later) to fly like in hover. By sliding you go slower but you can use your weapon that will be built on to your "Kart" by paying money, by Hovering you go faster but you have no way off offense so hover is like defensive and proning is like offensive, now you can do a combnation like hover then go prone and shoot down the person in front of you, (Btw when you get shot down you don't start from the beginning but you get transported a little ways where you got shot down from, just like in Mario Kart, now 1st place gets lots of money that goes toward buying new equipment for thir car and 2nd place a little less then 3rd a little less and so on and last, 3rd to last, and 2nd to last place get 0$, now I want a total of 26 non-static weapons/spells (not that mch really) and then as many static spells as you can get. When you 1st start off you will only have a deagle to fly, then when you advance you get more spells and you can buy better cars in the "Garage" Need For Speed style, lol. Now you must be wondering what about the higheer lvls beating the living daylight out of the lower lvls and the lower lvls always come in last place so they get no money and they never advance, well for one thing if you loose 10 times in a row you get as much money as a 1st place person gets so that you will EVENTUALLY advance and for the second thing, there will be 5 maps on 1 map! when you get a certain lbl you get transported to the next map to be fair, this won't require editing maps since we need maps anyway! this mode has no maps to it so we  need to make some each map should have 5 defferant or identical maps lvl 1 - 20 map lvl 20- 40 map and lvl 40-60 map also lvl 60-80 map and finally lvl 80- 100 map. This can be done by scripting am I right?

Spells Weapons etc.:
We need your help to suggest Spells weapons, the best will be added and the bad ones discarded, now even once we get 26 NON-static spells weaps cars etc. still keep suggesting because your spell, car etc. can be TRADED for another less intresting spell. also we need STATIC SPELLS - which mean you don't have to press a command in order to use it.

Non static spells when casted will increase your speed for a while to compansate for pressing Alt + whatever letterbecause in a race every second counts! Now have you ever noticed when in hexer you don't know which spells can be used or not? I usally use Maged Blood and whenver it says ) secods that means I can use it but thats with only 4 spells! Imagine 26! How will you rember?!?!?!? Well I thought up of something! One your right hand side of your soldat screen a menu kinda thing will be there, if its red that means its still cooling down if its green that means you can use it and if its gray or yellow that means its about to turn green, now it will be like this:

Alt + A
Alt + B
Alt + C
Alt + D
Alt + E
Alt + F
Alt + G
Alt + H
Alt + I
Alt + J
Alt + K
Alt + L
Alt + M
Alt + N
Alt + O
Alt + P
Alt + Q
Alt + R
Alt + S
Alt + T
Alt + U
Alt + V
Alt + W
Alt + X
Alt + Y
Alt + Z

There, (that took quite awhile) now each spell will say which Alt + *Letter* it goes with so that is what you will use for your taunts, now what u should do it rename the original taunts it taunts1.txt then change it, see? So when you go to another server you can just rename it and you have your old taunts back! Now again you must be thinking when if I see the server in the lobby and there's only 1 slot left, but I have to rename my taunts! Well this will be unlikely because we will have 32 slots and if it does get full we will host another! BUT what we could do (if this CAN be done) is maybe if you can go into the server and say a command and it will save your spot till u come back, with a time limit, like Go quickly and rename your taunts, come to soldat again and join before 5 minutes or something, I don't know :D. Anyway another thing you might be saying is what if I want to add more stuff to my car but I dont want to lose the race! Then go spec. duh! Ok now when you buy new "engines" you go a little faster there will be 3 classes FOR NOW until people start beating the game and it starts to get boring, then we will need to make more spells improvemnts etc. but that won't be till a LONG time maybe a yr! because this game will take a while to master and its meant to be that way! Anyway the 3 classes will be classes of engines:

Normal (what u start with)
Fast, and
Bullet

Now once you bought them all you can buy a new "car" which is actually a new weapon that will go faster, the fastest is the minimachine gun which is why you don't srart out with that then the fastest car you can get is a minigun (not minimi) with a bullet engine. Now you can make your car faster by spells! Here is a list of spells I thought up off but of course we need more to fill in 26 NON-static spells:

(A)Lightning - Lightning Strikes Down the closest car in front of you.
(B)Lightning - Lightning Strikes Down the closest car in back of you.
Mine - Mine is like claymore in hexer, mines are for prone units (or ground units which I will call from now on) when they step on it, they have a 25% chance of geting 50% damage, as you lvl up this chanc becomes greater and the damage becomes more.
Air Mine - The Air Mine is like the mine but it blows up people in the Air instead of ground units.
Summon Bad Boys - the Bad Boys have chainsaws like Ghouls and slice your opponents up (since you can't teleport a bot, its best to execute this when you 1st start).

Ok for now thats it I will list more later but I have 2 problems I just thought of now:

1) Summon BBs needs some work! when your on a lvl 40 map how will the bad boys get to where your opponents are? The only suggestion I have is that there are tunnels that the bots can go through to get there, but how willl you direct them there? If a human tries to go up there (or down because its not reasonable for a lvl 1 to go to a lvl 40 map) then they well be teleported to the starting place)

Ok now there will be no flags! Each 50 rounds and you go to the next map, 50 sounds like alot but in racing its not. For the mappers! we want the map to be VERY long to increase the suspense, keep this in mind because when racing it can go REALLY fast so what you might think is long is actually only 1 minute in racing time. Now second problem:

2) Which mode will it be in? CTF will attract the most players but you can only shoot down 1 team..................................ooooooooooh hhhhh never mind, you can just put FF on  ;D lol ok scratch that...........

Ok, on to more spells:

Discard - I didn't want it to be the same as hexer which is disarm so I said discard, it will disarm the closest opponents gun so if they have a hover they have to go ground and if they have a gun then they have to go hover.

Ground Unit Liquid Z - Makes you go faster when on the Ground
Ground Unit Liquid A - The Fastest of the oil wich makes you go as fast as a minimi normal engine.( The Minimi Car is the second best car)
Ground Unit Liquid B - Y - Is in between Z and A liquid.
Ground Unit Oil - Oil when used and your opponent  gets it slows your oponents car for a while.
Air Unit Oil - Is like the Ground Unit Oil but its for Air Units

I had some more ideas but I don't feel like writing them now.
................................................. ................................................. .................................
Ok I'm back, heres some more:

Switch - Switches posistions of the closest opponent, can't be too far, can't switch with 1st place and can't swich 60 seconds before Finish Flag (You will have to figure out how far is 60 seconds on a map)

Umm, before I forget I will also like to get a time trail serer up and going like 5 months from when the sever gets realsed.

Ok, enough with the spells, here are what the guns will do:
Deagle - The Main Hover Car
HKP5 - The Sprayer Gun
Ak - 2nd Hover Car Rocket Launcher (available to higher lvls)
Steyar - Automatic Gun
Spas - 3rd hover car
Ruger - 1st gun you will be able to buy and it will be cheap since its hard to shoot down anyone with it.
M79 - Grenade launcher
Barret - Sniper Gun (Of course)
Minimi - 5th Hover Car
Minigun - Last or 6th hover car (and fastest of course).......Hint: Or is it..........
Chainsaw - You must be wondering why we skipped 4th Hover Car, well here it is!
Knife - Knife Weapon, it will reload when thrown
Usscom - Slow handgun
Law - **********Secret************** I will reveal to scripters of course.

Now thats it! Ok so we need more static spells and 17 more NON-static spells.

Hope you like!

RACING MMORPG!! YEAH!!! I LIKE IT!!1

Saying "need scripters and mappers" is asking for quite much and if you don't do the work yourself, your project is predestined to fail.

Three I'm under the table
Four I'm under the host

I don't have time, I'll pay you to do it. Just don't put it on your server, well you could.

Date Posted: November 07, 2007, 06:03:33 pm
plus, I mean even if I do learn the language I won't be able to do this kinda master script, right?

miketh2005 i learned soldatscripting in a few weeks/months. Its not that hard. Read the manual. Ask other scripters for help.
The idea is really cool. But you don't motivate other scripters by telling them they can't put it on their server. Probably the scripter ends up scripting / debugging for weeks!

Geez this sounds awesome, hope it succeeds.
I'm trying to learn to script right now, but knowing me i'll probably give up :).

Great idea! :) First, to be clear, I won't script it. I just want to fill in what has already been said - it's actually not that hard to do soldat scripts. The script engenie is very well designed and Pascal is a very simple language to get started with and use.
I just want to encourage you to do it yourself! Just keep the goal of a finished project in mind and you'll be there very soon!
Warning! Division by zero seriously injures yourself and the people in your surroundings.

We'll see about that....sorry to bump an old topic but I've found a scripter, and a mapper, but more mappers would be cool :P

Some updates:

We don't need to be limited to just 26 skills! We can "bind" a skill to a specific command, so you can have 26 skills AT A TIME or just 4, is you so choose. Also making 5 maps would be way too laggy, so I'm thinking of just making another server for higher experienced players, or just leave it 1 server and if you come in last (2nd to last 3rd to last) place 3 times in a row you'd get some money...

'since you can't teleport a bot'



Lol who said that?
You can make a temp. spawnplace which the bots would use to spawn. After that just remove that spawn.. (dunno would it work =x  ),
or you could use avarax's placebot ::)

Well, even so, it would be too laggy to even have 2 maps on 1 map, so that won't really be needed except for the bad boys.

Thanks, never knew that  ;)
