King of the Hill

[andrelie]

ok, its a gamemode i think is kinda fun, called "King of the Hill" the name says it... your supposed to stay on a hill ALONE! (it can be Team King of the Hill, the same way but your team is geting points faster depends how many that's inside the "Ring" (king of the hill place)) your not geting points for killing ppl, just get them away from the Ring, if your not alone in the ring you or your enemy wont get any points.
hope this can come into the game, because i LOVE the game mode

Someone already made this...it didnt take off, but i loved it.

[andrelie]

oh, sorry but it wasnt the meaning to post something that allready was posted before

[LtKillroy]

Kinda sorta like HTF, at least team is. Kinda sorta like pointmatch, but a ring instead of flag. People would just M79 you out of the ring, either killing you or launching you from the blast, so F11.

Been suggested a hundred times, and been shot down a hundred times.

[Eagles_Arrows]

Stop suggesting new game modes, goddamnit.

This can be done with scripting.  F11

[bja888]

It was the first game mode to come out, it was like the same week scripting was available.

However it never really worked out, soldat wasn't ready for it. Its just been sitting in the attic collecting dust waiting to be revived again.

[andrelie]

ok ok, sorry =/

I can never find any King of the hill ones that don't have 9999 ping.

[haha]

lolz i cant even find any kinf of the hill...this cant be revived anymore....

[zyxstand]

why not make it so anyone in the ring can get points, and you have to try to prevent enemies from getting points too!  That's what would make soldat's KOH unique.
But yeah, it already exists - nice try though...

I know DorkeyDear made a KOH script and he had custom maps for it which he made. Basically there was a center spot that had to be controlled. Th teams spawned on opposite sides of it and had to rush over to it. The way the scoring worked was whichever team had more members controlling the "hill"  started to gain time for being there. I think he had it had like 2 minutes needed to win. Also I think the server may still be up... the server details are in his signature if it is.

[Xxypher]

It should be an official though, because its laggy and unstable sometimes in scripting.

I made two King of the Hill scripts some time ago actually! And yeah, they didn't take off. If I look at them again, I might release the code. I don't know.
Anyways, if your curious:
1. CTF; Custom maps (flags unaccessible); 1 hill, stationary; seemed smoother than 2nd
2. TM; DM maps; 1 hill, mobile up to 5 locations; not as fair as the first one, sense people spawn anywhere.. i might redo so that its a DM and as long as you are on the hill, you get time, no matter if there is more than 1 person on the hill or not

whichever team had more members controlling the "hill"  started to gain time

actually, it was whoever was on the hill, and if both teams were on the hill, then nobody got points.

I might get one / both of my servers containing these scripts up again, but maybe after I dust them off a little.

Also I think the server may still be up... the server details are in his signature if it is

no, not anymore. I actually don't have any custom servers up anymore. Once I finish my CS script, then I might try to revive my other major scripts.

The problem with this is that, unless your a very clever mapper and put anchor points around the sides, you have to have a script for every map. Unless I truely don't understand the way X/Y's work in  soldat maps.

Anyway. I'm working on a script and a map template for KOTH. I'm making it with deathmatch style players (it's a free for all type gamemode so teams makes little sense) but with no damage, I think it'll work better try to boost/shove your opponents of the sides of the hill into the abyss with nades/laws/spas/minigun >_</ saw/etc. weapons. I'm just basing this of of the highly fun version played on the right side of TW_Moats occassionally.
