AWESOME!
That rocks!
And is the server back up?

sai`ke · « **Reply #61 on:** August 18, 2007, 09:52:42 pm »

The new version isn't at the moment since I'm going to bed now, but in two days the new version will be up permanently. I will also have v2 online for a while tomorrow but In the meantime it would be nice to think of a concept to get people to join when there are no human players on the server (keeping the first few interested is the hardest). And regular sparring against bots doesn't seem to have much appeal.

Oh and btw, in boomzalot mode and the hunter modes the hunted is set on fire and explodes after being shot for added drama

perhaps you could make a game mode that only works while 2 or less players are on the server:

Heres one:

Explosive chainsaw mode

like 2-4 bots with chainsaws join the game

the chain saws are set so thatÂ when you pull the triger it will make an explosian appere far enough in front of the player that it doesnt hurt him

(here are the stats)

Code: [Select]

[Chainsaw]
Damage=150000
FireInterval=1
Ammo=150
ReloadTime=175
Speed=460
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=1

Ps. if you put the blink at like -25 the explosians will be everywhere in front of you

7 bots would be too laggy, maybe adding two or 3, seeing as once they see you, they explode.
The bots would need soccoms or some sort of weapon anyway.

Code: [Select]

[Chainsaw]
Damage=150000
FireInterval=1
Ammo=150
ReloadTime=175
Speed=1
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=1

The speed was too high for the chainsaw to make you "explode"
And its a suicide weapon mode, thats the main reason for explosive chainsaws lol.

its no suposta kill you

its just a realy cool weapon

Oohhh lol.
Shoot 'em up:
Two bots spawn in the map, shooting a minigun insanely everywhere, and bullets don't collide with land but only with players. "To do this, you need -90 bink"

MEET SIR FLAMEZALOT

New Mode:

SIR FLAMEZALOT
A bot is spawned that spawns a ring of fire around him every few seconds and shoots 4 missiles at different intervals. Uses a ruger and is equiped with cluster bombs! Again, five points are awarded to the person that kills the bot. It will take quite some force to take him down considering he has 300% health.

Also, the flying minigun sounds spiffy for a flying nade hell with unlimited flying thingy. I'll try tomorrow whether it works. Also, server online SOON

omg, hi all.. i just came back from my 4 day festival and saw my harddisk in my server computer burned or sth..

suxorz but expect it back quickly!

sai`ke · « **Reply #68 on:** August 20, 2007, 08:22:33 pm »

Okay, did some playtesting with a lot of ppl and altered balances a bit.

Mr Flamezalot and mr bombzalot were too strong. I now divide the damage they take from hits by two (rather than three) when there are less than 4 players and by three (rather than 5) when there are more. Furthermore, they don't automatically heal and don't have vampirism like the regular soldats anymore (too frustrating). They seem okay now.

There's still an odd bug in the script. Sometimes the server keeps trying to kick player 32 (repeatedly for a long time), while there cannot be a player 32 since the maximum numbers of players is 16. I am also confused where this originates from since I don't have the number 32 anywhere in my code or iterators. I will try to track down where this comes from tomorrow. It doesn't crash the server or cause errors so it's no biggie, it's just annoying because it tries this a lot and it makes big log files... It also makes my debug information harder to read. Perhaps it has something to do with IDToName or something... not sure though.

Other than that, I think the script worked pretty well. No major hiccups. I reckon you either love it or hate it though. At least, on this server, when somebody fires an m79, you'll at least be sure everyone has one

Your hp continusly gose down by like .5 hp per sec
Yet you get randome power ups when the round starts

Hells Minnion:
Like 5 bots called Minions join and
The minions hp heals by like 2 hp per sec
If they come in contact w/ u you get set on fire
Then They go BOOOOM!!! when they die

Bounty:
If u kill someone u get bounty points
when a person kills you they get your bounty poinst added to theres
At like 10 BP a bounty hunter bot joins
Kill the Bounty hunter to get an extra 3 BP
The one W/ the most BP at the end wins

Very bad day sounds cool. Hells minnion sounds laggy

. Bounty sounds like it could be interesting too but it'd be pretty confusing for someone who doesn't know the rules.

Script updated! See first page for updated rules and address.

Flamezalot doesn't have flames when I spawn him when the server is empty? And who was it that decided to kick him and send out Ninjas instead (I'm pretty sure it wasn't the script itself).

sai`ke · « **Reply #73 on:** August 27, 2007, 01:04:28 pm »

Yes, flames have been disabled due to lag problems. He still has missiles though. And it wasn't me! :O

ghg · « **Reply #74 on:** August 27, 2007, 01:23:53 pm »

Yeah. Flamezalot without flames is kinda sucky.

well it could only be me or saike but i didnt do anything aswell. But i think some modes do start when only 1 player is ingame. I'll check logs sai`ke

The flames weren't adding much in terms of how dangerous he is, especially not considering how much lag they were causing. I'd rather sacrifice some fire effects rather than gameplay. So maybe he just needs to be renamed.

Is the server down or somthing?

I've got an idea for a new game mode

Ranked Mode

It would work like that. Let's say, there are 8 people on the server. You kill the first person, you get 8 points, you kill second person, 7 points etc.
