This rox !!!!!

[BombSki]

really nice idea and it works better than i expected. its pretty hard at first but once you get an idea of all the possibilities it becomes a really nice challenge.
you should have added a demo file id say, to give people an idea

Done. :)

[Shadow!]

Cant stop playing when you started!

More maps will be made, keep and eye out for them :>

[shadow x chaos]

Nice, Ill try it out 

I would like to see the maps though
I'm a decent map maker 

[DorkeyDear]

Hurraa! The best sub-gamemode ever! I have to say this is a blast of fun for anybody who wants to play.
More maps than I thought.
AR, I forgot what I was going to say!
oh well
if any1 hosts it, wanna share please?

[MetalWarrior]

Note to Linux users, in the first upload I included an 'includes.txt' instead of 'Includes.txt'. Changing the case of the 'i' should fix your problems. The archive has since been updated to address this issue.

[zakath]

Added a server running the game mode which can be found here

[spkka]

real original idea love it!

[Rampage_Terranius]

very nice and well done i must say good job

[DorkeyDear]

Suggestions:
built in stats for:
per player/account...
time run
# of portals used

or not built in, doesn't really matter

[chutem]

Holy ohmygosh.

You just made the best two games ever into one. Sex.
Gameplay looks great, i might make some maps, is there any requirements? (e.g. Do I have to colour-code it)
I am going to get my dedicated server working so I can play this.

wow.

Simple enough, may be better as an additional script though (or at least an alternative). If you can think of a good way to track the stats from the multi-player environment then let me know.

Have a look at the included maps. The only 'odd' requirement is a container and a bravo spawn somewhere off the main course of the map to house the Dummy. Feel free to make / use a prefab for it from one of the existing maps.

scripts/
 | Portal/...
 | Stats/
 | | Includes.txt
 | | core.pas
 | | Stats/
 | | | Map/ bunch of .log files.. suggested to be the same format as Player so only 1 function needed to get the logs of it.. organized by mapname or MD5 of mapname
 | | | Player/ same here organized by MD5 of person's nickname (due to not-allowed characters in a person's name) or a custom-made one.. if not md5, i would just get a 3-length of the value of the character, although may be long over time..

Possible log format: (\# == character num #)
PersonName\1MapName\1Deaths\1JoinCapTime\1RespawnCapTime\1NumPortals\1NumPortalType1\1NumPortalType2\2..repeat..

that probably what I would do, although you can do it whateever way if it is to be done.
would probably ignore NoPortalType1/2 when actually gathering the stats, but you may want it in the future for whatever reason

Then in the Portal script, I suggest calling using CrossFunc. something like...
CrossFunc([MapName, PlayerName, etc...], 'Stats.WriteLog');
then on command, for either Portal or Stats, probably stats
Stats.ReadLog(Filename: string): record ..all the stuff.. end; (suggested its own datatype)

mayb also include the ppl he played with?

Im hosting it: 85.156.30.41:666

Even tho, i has dynamic ip so no-one will be able to join tomorrow

Lolno im not hosting it (10 minutes was enough!)

[CMPunk]

Oh nice dude this is a beast

[Mr]

I just played that game mode yesterday (thanks to zakath for the server), and it's awesome. But I was bored fast if I just had to follow the ffc... fix this please ^_^
You could as example allow the "normal players" to create portals that only can be used once or by the own player.

Unfortunately this can't be done without implementing exclusive weapon access - which I tried and it sucked. Some other suggestions were switching ffc after so many portals / minutes. The fun of the multiplayer part of this mod depends entirely on who you are playing it with and who has the flag.

indeed
but its not so boring with the flag warp off (which IMO ruins the whole fun)
when the mode was in development and me shadow and metal (and some others) played it, the flag warp was yet not implemented. what you had to do is when someone died you had to throw the flag down (but first make 2 portals where you are) so the flag will respawn and the person can then create a portal and go back to their team. that was teamwork
so i recommend you to play it without the flag warp option, its just way more fun in multiplayer, you gotta think more

[pavliko]

yeah i agree with norbo.
it was more fun that way that flag didn't warp off
and yeah "and some others" lol

Sup Metal (Trapt here)
I tried this out and I have to say, AMAZING. This is the new best thing since climbing. Originality (you know what I mean) and amazing maps. Keep making the awesome maps and cool ideas.

Have you tested this script on linux? If so did it work correctly? Or is it one of those "windows only" scripts that aggravate me to no end.

Works fine on linux. The 24/7 server hosted by zakath is using a linux machine. It is, however, worth checking the filenames and extensions for correct case though since in the first archive I uploaded some were in the wrong case.

[blackdevil0742]

Shit. It's hard O_o
But in a good way

[Iq Unlimited]

That's weird. My linux server is in hate mode for this script. I'll try to fix it sometime.

[NailsForLunch]

I'll consider hosting an Australian based server of this....

I'm currently running
1 full Mission Mod
1 part time mission mod / part time clan server
and 1 Knife Basketball.

I could possibly turn the part time mission mod into part time version of this.

Note: part time = 95% of the time for sub-gamemode.

Ok, I got it working and I might make some changes to it if you don't mind Metal.


IP: server1.enesce.com
Port: 23099

!Elite TMS Portal.

Feel free. I would quite like to know what changes, though.

A new version of the script will be out once a new map pack is complete (some of which will demonstrate new features).

EDIT:

IP: server1.enesce.com
Port: 23099

!Elite TMS Portal.

Just tried this server. Did you change the IDLE_BOT_TEAM constant in the script? The dummy was on Alpha instead of Bravo and thus the game couldn't be played.

[Iq Unlimited]

EDIT: oh another script was interfering with yours, I fixed it.

EDIT2: I'll let you update the script before I start making changes.

[Splinter-Snake]

Hmm, I tried it on the !Elite Portal server, but no one could get it to work.

Edit: Just checked the demo and realized that the Elite server isn't set up right. It should probably be fixed before more people get a bad impression of Portal. Me and some others tried for like 10 minutes trying to make a damn portal lmao.

[Iq Unlimited]

It's giving me problems for some reason and doesn't like the other scripts I have working with it, so I just took them all off. I guess it'll be a boring server for now .

Well, at least it's working great. 

[Norbo]

it would be really nice if you could make a toplist feuture so it records best 5 capping times on each of the maps
