Ok, i want cube CTF, and i bet i'm not the only one. It won't take a whole of work to make, but it's just a little bit too much for one man to do, so i'm asking you guys for assistance. The stuff we need to do is:

* red\blue skins for the player model.
* 2 Flag models with 2 skins each. (one on ground, one carried by the player.
* Code for the flag. (pickups, carriers, caps)
* Code for scoring etc.
* all the maps we can get.
* (a simple mirrior funcion in the editor would be nice)
* a few red\blue base textures

I could do most of this myself, but it'd take too damn long. I'd rather not do the code, as that's my weakest point, but the models\textures\skins should be easy enough. And mapping too :)

So, anyone interested in helping out?

right. People play what they want to play. A map takes as good as no disk-space whatsoever anyway, unless there's custom textures (which i don't want to include if they're not base-markers)

#121: My thoughts

by VerbalC on 05/10/2003 02:14

After the nice 6 person game, I got more thoughts.

-I really believe there should be a killing score, cap score, and even a return your flag score.

-Teamtalk! This would really benefit teamplay.

-New sounds for picking up flag, dropping it, capping it. Maybe some others too.

-Maybe have a flag model attached to the player when he has it?

-A CTF-specific little menu file (that wouldn't overwrite the original Cube one) which has stuff like change team, even a help page (which is very easy to do with the easy Cube menu system) - this all for newbies who can get into it quicker.


That's all I can think of now.

Well, that's not good. If you include a map that was made with custom textures and a custom cfg for them, w/o those it will be *really* weird textured.

Have you ever played a custom texture map without it's cfg?

Counter Strik has the largest player base in FPS history. 25,000 people at any given time (used to, at least) play that simultaneiously. Cube, you're lucky to get 5.

Same goes for maps.

-I really believe there should be a killing score, cap score, and even a return your flag score.

The way it's done now, is the simplest way possible. =) I basically didn't modify Aard's code for teamplay, just made it so frags are scored for captured flags. For anything more advanced, the scoring system needs to be rewritten. I don't know about killing score etc... but in the next version, you will be able to score frags, that for sure.

-Teamtalk! This would really benefit teamplay.

Added to the list.

-New sounds for picking up flag, dropping it, capping it. Maybe some others too.

New sounds would be nice... anyone have some?

-Maybe have a flag model attached to the player when he has it?

I really don't know how to handle it, apart from making a special model (player+flag) for that. Anything else will look really bad, at least if flag isn't animated together with the player (which also requires a new animation).

#126: more probs

by pushplay on 05/10/2003 12:10

Often when I exit the ctf mod Cube will set my resolution back to the wrong setting in windows. Sometimes it's what I set Cube to, but often it's something entirely different. Cube proper has also done this to me, but it's uncommon.

The ctf mod also seems to bring out the sendmap bug in Cube with greater frequency.

I know a guy who can make good sound effects. Let me know what we need, and i'll poke him :)

by Thalion on 05/10/2003 15:03, refers to #126

Resolution probs - I really don't know what causes it, 'cause I'm not familiar with the Cube renderer at all. Whatever it is, it's somewhere in Aard's code. Or maybe in SDL. =) I haven't experienced it myself, probably because my Cube settings are the same as for my desktop.

Sendmap bug? What is that?

#129: Re: sounds

by Thalion on 05/10/2003 15:05, refers to #127

We need sounds for the following events:

1) Steal flag
2) Capture flag
3) Return flag

- and maybe -

4) Drop flag
5) Pick up dropped flag

Whatever these might be, I don't have the slightest idea. I've got used to UT sounds myself.

Okay, I'll take a look. Or maybe catch Aardappel on IRC and ask him if he fixed it already. =)

The last month was a hard one for me; right now I'm just too busy in the university (damn exams) to code anything serious, so I haven't touched the thing for quite some time. But, in a week, I'll have plenty of free time... =)

Hey All,

The server that uber cuber is on (spinnahost), was hacked. It got so messed up that we have just bought a brand new server, name servers should come up soon for everyone, and backups are getting restored.

On the new server i will startup the game servers again.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but we have been trying very hard to get everything over.

#138: How to get it?

by wally83 on 11/25/2005 18:04

Seems that Cube CTF or (capture the carrot) is no longer under developement.

Cube is so nice little game that is really shame if there really is no way to play it CTF.

Some way to get the simple Cube CTF-mod made in summer 2003? And some way to play it with most recent Cube version I downloaded some days ago?

Also interested in Sauerbraten+_simple_ ctf (non-counterstrike), only option to steal other teams flag.

Thanks
