Are there any single player maps like...
« on: January 08, 2007, 06:32:06 pm »
I was wondering if there are any or if anybody has thought of single player type maps where the objective is to get the flag and survive against a number of bots (about eight) who are all bound in boxes (where they spawn and can shoot through the colliders but have to stay in their boxes) and try to kill you on the way. I will show example...



The red box = alpha spawn point (human)
The blue boxes = bravo spawn points (bound in boxes through which only bullets can pass)

The player would use the /addbot (botname) command to add their desired opponents.

This is very much 'luck of the draw' because the bots may spawn in one box or many which makes the game more playable (less repetitive) and the bots will not cap (they can't really move so no meed to waypoint either).  Play in survival mode to make it really hard.

I am a programmer but definately not a map-maker.  Please if anybody understands what I mean can you try this out?  I believe it would add a great single-player option to the game.

Okay, I have modified a standard map to accomodate this idea, have a go --> http://web.aanet.com.au/edak/ctf_SPDropdown.PMS (the SP means Single Player)

This idea was suggested in a recent topic about having automated stationary guns. I happen to really like the idea and briefly considered trying to make a map for it. Could be a nice change of pace for a zombie server.

That's an awesome idea. The only problem I can see from this is that soldaten spawn completely random so there could be two or three bots in one box, and other boxes are completely vacant. It would be better if there were subterranean paths for the bots to run from one station to another.

Thanks for the feedback mate! The reason I wanted them to be confined is because they don't need to be waypointed and bots are useless when moving around (especially subterranean because they don't see you).  The fact that some boxes may be vacant and some not would make it more interesting.

Okay like I said I can't make maps @ all so I just modified dropdown to suit my needs, simply start as alpha with 7 random bots on bravo (on hard preferably), see if you can do it.

Remember this is only an example of the gameplay.  We need some custom maps to do this properly. (otherwise I will botch up other maps that i like to make them similar to this.

well you could always add charlie and delta teams. That way you could organise the aps a little and still have that nonlinear feeling
