so anyway ages ago I made a game mode called 'Death From Above' and it was pretty good except for some bugs with Soldat. so ANYWAY 'Death From Above' pretty much looks like this:

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2501/dfasnb.jpg

what happens is, the only weapon allowed is the law (a specially modified one in fact) and the aim is to shoot rockets over the gigantic hill in the middle to reach the other side to kill the opposing team! you cannot climb over to the other side in anyway and are restricted to your own side.
its a team match game so green and yellow would need a spawn outside the map so they don't interfere with the game (i'll probly work on a script to make them join red or blue)

so anyway requirements in general for the maps are:
-theres gotta be a big ass wall in the middle so rockets are fired up in the air and not straight ahead
-map has to be decent size and not gigantic, this is so the rockets can travel to anywhere on the other side of the map
-jet pack on minimal or no jet pack at all (to prevent people from going over the middle)
-map has to start with 'dfa_' for example 'dfa_lolmap'
-no grenades.

it would be nice to be really innovative with your design but try not to provide too much cover for each side (to prevent camping)

anyway thanks for anyone who wants to give it a go, hopefully I can get a server up with the mode soon so you can all try it out

Oooh I remember playing something like this, except it was called "Law Catch"

I could look and see if I still have some of the maps...

oh serious, well see what you got but I prefer some newer ones to make it more unique

p0ppin · « **Reply #3 on:** April 10, 2009, 09:20:14 pm »

Wellll, I'm starting to think these 2 modes are a bit different from eachother, as I still have the law mod for it on my soldat 1.3

[M72 LAW]
Damage=150000
FireInterval=25
Ammo=3
ReloadTime=200
Speed=170
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=21
Bink=0
MovementAcc=1

As you can see, the speed is pretty low so it doesn't go very high, and the maps I have were made based on this mod. The pillars in the middle aren't my definition of "Big ass"

.
Heres a pic + the map, see if it's anything close to what you'd like

.

Drew about where the lawshots would be going.

thats a nice map, my law mod is slightly diff but it would still do the job, I need to edit the map a bit I hope the authors (Mothfix and Flying Dutchman) don't mind.

do you think you could start work on a map poppin?

PQ · « **Reply #5 on:** April 10, 2009, 09:42:58 pm »

There are plenty of law catch maps. "ctf_law_*"

But can't theyjust hid behind some polygon and make it really boring at this map?

BTW, no one will join your server if it's TM..

m00` · « **Reply #6 on:** April 10, 2009, 09:43:49 pm »

if its ctf, how will you know which team wins?

Hair|Trigger · « **Reply #7 on:** April 10, 2009, 10:08:11 pm »

Interesting game mode, I have a couple of ideas for maps, might try 'em out (but they probably will take lots of testing with human players which is hard when yo have no internet -.-)

Put survival on and unreachable flags.

aaand btw I might try and do a map.. what do I lose? im bored..

p0ppin · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2009, 10:29:58 am »

Yeah, lawcatch was always survival - not sure if it was realistic or not (doubt it though, would make hitting people about 20x more annoying).

I could try to make a map for ya ;3

VirtualTT · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2009, 10:32:57 am »

Yeah! i can remember playing on old LAW servers. That was pretty fun.
it wasn't realistic

p0ppin · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2009, 11:57:24 am »

Hey m00 could you post the mod you're going to be using so we can make maps based on that?

jrgp · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2009, 01:19:43 pm »

Here's 8 or so really old law catch maps: http://tms.jrgp.org/index.php?action=map_gt&gametype=14 The one by IQ is particularly interesting.

-Zombie- · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2009, 06:20:14 pm »

I might aswell work on one of these type of maps. I got a pretty good idea in mind.

m00` · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2009, 07:09:37 pm »

ty jrgp

the mod im using is

[M72 LAW]
Damage=500000
FireInterval=15
Ammo=2
ReloadTime= 200
Speed=190
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=15
Bink=0
MovementAcc=5

i plan on keeping it team match but dunno if im gonna put survival or not

can you put unreachable flags (just incase i make it ctf) AND spawns for charlie and delta outside the map?

-Zombie- · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2009, 01:33:38 am »

I just finished making the map, I hope you enjoy it. Make slight adjustments if you wish.

Map Stats:

Polygons: 302
Scenery: 111
Spawns: 11
