Regarding TDM/TDM Survival spawns
« on: January 20, 2010, 06:49:46 am »
Since Soldat is aiming for perfection, I thought about something that would make normal
Team Deathmatch more pleasant.

I don't like the way how Survival and normal TDM balance layouts mix on each other.
It's okay in Survival to have four bases, since spawnkilling wont matter a shit there.
Only the actual balance. But it sure does matter in normal TDM which is agreed by
everyone to be a pain in the ass.

Optional secondary spawns system

To prevent spawnkilling in normal TDM, this set of spawns should be taken
to use in every (T)DM map.

And if you play these maps in TDM survival, players should spawn throught secondary spawns only.

Wasn´t TDM meant to be that way? That you have one base for every team and not like in DM?

I think dynamic spawns should do the work. I mean here something like this: when opposing team is at your spawn, your spawn location will change to the nearest safe one. I'm not sure if it isn't possible to do with scripting...

Not possible to be sripted with current script core.


Forget what I said in my first post. I like the idea. Maybe you should be able to set spawns for the different gamemodes being played so you could set spawns for ctf_Ash different for different modes. There would be a random spawn for DM (not like in the current version where you spawn at any spawn, no matter if it´s a medi spawn or a flag spawn), spawns for TDM and for TDM survival and for infiltration there would be attack and defense spawns. Also there should be the possibility to choose whether you spawn with or without a parachute!

TMs got lots of unbalances gameplay, like the 2s fade time where Barret/M79 count the startup in begin of the round, its cleary unbalanced, would be better if the startup starts count after those 2s.
There are maps which fit the layout to TMs like HH and Shau. In my point of view DM maps are for the purpose of play DM only, HTF maps fit much better teamplay. Maybe if the devs rename some maps to TM_... i dont know... but would be much appreciated on Brazil and Poland where TMs lies.
That lil dream said; yesh, is much better mixed spawns for prevent spawnkilling and in TMs u already got 2s to get a nice position.
