New (conceptual) gametype: Grenade Golf

I came up with this idea while playing with the grenade launcher, making it bounce off walls and floors. Basically, you're given grenade launcher ammo, and the object of the game is to get it into a hole on the other side, while standing in a certain spot. You're given one try to get it in, then the next person tries, then the next, and so on. If you get it right, you get to move onto the next hole, while the other players must launch their grenade into their own hole. Whoever completes the course first wins.

Just like in real golf, the first holes are simple, and as you progress they get more difficult. In later levels, you must bounce the grenade off walls, launch them through waterfalls, etc. However, unlike real golf, you don't get your next shot where your last grenade landed. Each shot must be made from the starting point. You have unlimited tries and time, but your patience (and ability to not "accidently" frag your fellow players) probably isn't.

That idea is MINE. I already did that. I'm the one who invented golf (and tennis) for Sauerbraten more than a year ago. Here, check out the maps.

The Golf map:

A map made by a fan:

The tennis maps:

If you want, you can try making a golf map too, but the game mode idea is MINE, not yours.

I doubt that Odin even knew about your maps,So he isn't stealing your idea,Tough having a golf/tennis mode for SauerBraten is crap,So no I don't like this game mode,Scrap it.

Sorry, I honestly didn't know you did this before me. If you did I obviously wouldn't have made this thread. I'll try out your maps, though.

You don't need to be stupid Passa xD
I said he could do golf (and also tennis) maps, but the idea is mine. In fact, i'm preparing some sort of mod with the gamemodes, but I need more Golf and Tennis maps. Contributions would be very nice :D

Staking claim to an idea as utterly generic as putting a sport into a game is about as valid as saying you were the first person to think Cube should have Capture the Flag.

It's unoriginal, you weren't the first, and undoubtedly many other people probably thought of it all on their own without even seeing your maps.

Since we're calling things though I thought of all of the following for Sauerbraten: Football, Soccer, Curling, Javeling Throwing, Archery, Diving, Fishing, Deer Hunting, Swimming, Baseball, and Weightlifting.

Don't steal my ideas.

I think his point is is that you're being kinda overzealous with the idea of grenade golf in Sauerbraten.

yes you can own ideas. alot of patents are given just for the idea of something, no prototype made. you can patent 'intellectual property'

well you can only patent inventions, and not ideas.

even if you could, having a patent on something isn't the same as "owning" something. it's just a timelimited set of exclusive rights...

Back on topic: Sounds like fun to do for one single time, but not as an actual game-mode. What would be more fun, maybe, is a multiplayer map that focusses on grenade-launching: added surfaces to bounce the nades to enemies, something like that. Sounds like a fun thing to brainstorm about. :-)


/me wishes people would be more friendly to eachother here... C'mon, why those harsh replies?
