[GameMod] CatchMe 2.5.3 --> NextGen H'n'S!

[Mighty]

Name: CatchMe

Pack Includes: MapVoter 1.0, CatchMe 2.5.3, RateGame (unreleased yet)

Author: Mighty
Script version: 2.5.3
Server version: 2.6.5
Release Date: 10th of July 2010
Last Update: 21st of January 2011
Compile Test: Tested online, works
Status: Not hosted! (possibly going to be soon)
Requirements:

•   Folder "tables" must be created in root soldatserver folder (included in archieves with 2.5+ version)
  

Gameplay:
All players start the round in blue team, except one, landing in Alpha.
Only Alpha can use knives. The objective is to catch all blue.
So the gameplay is similar to H'n'S, with one major difference:
Caught players move to Alpha, not to spec, which makes the game much, much faster.

Events:

•   If you kill last blue, you get Vest in next round (if there are at least X players) (X is set in CatchMe.ini)
•   The last blue is Seeker in next round
•   Every X kills Killer gets Berserker (if made in 1 round) (X is set in CatchMe.ini)
•   Knives collected by Bravo can be spent for Predator, Disarm or Nova
•   If Script_Auto_OnOff is enabled, then if X players are playing server enables catchme, else it blocks the script.

Notes:

•   Caps don't count since script is enabled
•   Dmg is dealt only that way: Shooter -> Victim. It means dead polygons dont work
  
•   The script was completely re-written, now it has no gameplay bugs ;)

.

Installation:
Simply unpack .zip file and unpack it into root soldat server. Optionally download mappack and modify maplist.

what server settings i need?

btw: maplist attached

[Mighty]

CTF Mode
Any Resp
Any TimeLimit
Score Limit 5-8 IMHO (it will change map 1 cap before limit)
No nades
Would be best if no weapons were allowed, except for knives
No bonus would be nice

Folder "tables" must be created in root soldatserver folder

That's all that comes to my mind

[PKS|Shooter]

thanks dude this game mode is very nice i installed it on my server but i get some errors :<

u know, i have no idea what could cause that and in few following days i wont have time to check it out... Ill try to fix it later.
another recompile doesnt help? i got same errors few times but still another recompile helped.

[Falcon`]

Get rid of as many GetPlayerStats as you can. Then errors will disappear or at least come less often

[DarkCrusade]

You can hide these messages by using try/except blocks in all functions. As long as the server doesn't crash it's fine..

[Mighty]

@Falcon: gonna try, thanks for advice. Didnt know many GetPlayerStats fan cause errors

@DarkCrusade: thats what i wanted to do if i fail with fixing. And i got some strange system errors with that script, im gonna investigate it in following days

[Falcon`]

i really doubt if try... except block will hide access violations

[Mighty]

• Exception raised on call to OnPlayerDamage (Access violation at address 080F5A3F, accessing address 00000004)

This is something that is kinda strange for me... Nothing that could cause it in OnPlayerDmg...

Code: [Select]

function OnPlayerDamage(Victim, Shooter: byte; Damage: integer): integer;
begin
if Seeker[Victim] then result := 0
else result := Damage;
end;

when server become unstable once in any event, it becomes unstable in all of them. Sometimes including unused ones lol

hey dude your script is pushing my root server to 100 % CPU usage :x thats not cool something goes wrong

[Mighty]

You know, in my opinion you should just recompile few times. As i tested, all functions work fine. But about 1 in 20 recompiles caused crashes and errors. Recompiling it twice more helped, i could play again. Genrally - simply recompile till you see no errors.

About CPU usage... that's strange, no such thing on my server.

UPDATE 2.4 --> 2.5
    *   Added CatchMe.ini file, so it's easier to modify server
    *   Added /show command for admins
    *   Now command !stats Mighty will show accounts statistics even when Mighty is not online
    *   Modified IncLastStanding function a bit

[Timer]

Hey cool idea and funny thing is I created this exact same gamemode which I ran on an esence server for a few months over a year ago. I called it Elite Zombie PVP and it was played for a little while but never caught on. GL with yours.

PS. I used same exact of player transfers onto alpha aka seeker/catcher team but with saws

Modeled it after the halo 2 online gamemode of Zombies

[Mighty]

yeah, thanks. Actually found interested hoster, so I'm gonna fix the bugs I didn't see before.

So I'd mark it *Under Construction* for now. Check the lobby soon if you want

[OuR]

It's nice that someone is interested of that mode
I'll make some server for CatchMod soon. I can help with some things too.
Just PM me 

[Mighty]

Finally some update!

Changelog and stuff in 1st post.
