Looking nice. 8D

The magic and rpg element concept sorta
resembles my friend's "Avarlund" mod.
Looks awesome so far.

Spells can be created :) (but not in multiplayer), i will add a lot :P
(fields that hold players, so the don't move, switch-teleport, the guy you hit and you switch position, ...)

and i'll add a big single-player campaign, where you can advance in normal weapons too, (max ammo, reloadspeed, damage :) )


:) I'm gonna add a cvs snapshot now with windows binaries :)

:) would look better if I had screenshots of the game, not of the bugs, but nobody wants to play with me :( and there are no funny pictures without other players

Would be nice if somebody would play :) (contact info on the homepage)

#8: Sounds Good

by LethZoid on 01/11/2004 13:04

It sounds good; however, I believe Cube should be Geared towards more a CTF Style, to attract more of a community towards it... with more Open Maps... btw... can World Craft be used for Cube?

LethZoid:
Cube is very primarily a deathmatch game, and I assume that it is how the main game will stay (there has been a ctf mod), team dynamics is all very well, but it lacks some of the brutal simpleness that I love cube for.

Worldcraft cannot be used for cube, but then again doing so would be like making lego models out of modelling clay.

w00lf:
CTF for 4 teams would IMHO be very tough to make fun to play. You would also need loads of players to be enjoyable.

I meant that I could download the Update packages from your website directly. I am too stupid to use a CVS ;-). Yes, I am programming a lot, but I never used a CVS!

#15: 4 Team CTF

by Pxtl on 01/13/2004 03:07

I have played an exceptionally good 4-team CTF gametype called CTF4 Distribution for Unreal Tournament.

It worked as follows - you must score on _each_ team per point, not just grab N flags. So, if there are 4 teams and you are playing first to 4 points, you must score 4 from red team, 4 caps against blue team, 4 caps against green team, and 4 against yellow team to win. This means that, if a team is near winning, other teams will join up to stop them from capturing their crucial flag - its amusing to see Blue players rally to protect the green flag from the (near victory) red team.

An alternate approach is 1 flag, where the 1 flag spawns in the middle and each team is trying to take it home. This is a good system _provided_ there are shortcuts from one base to the next, so that green team players may rally to the blue base. Also, it is often better to spawn players away from their home base in this mode (perhaps all spawn in central/flag area would be best).

Then there's another approach to 1 flag with N teams, one I haven't seen yet, but could work well - play it like 1 net basketball pick-up. That is, you have only one shared base that all players spawn in, and at the other end of the map is the flag point. The flag is neutral in colour until claimed, and then it stays that colour until returned to the flag point, where it becomes the neutral colour again. To score a point, you must bring the flag, as your colour, to the main base. If defense/offense becomes too hard, just add or remove flags at the single flag point.

oh, and loads of players? I've frequently seen games of over 20 players being wasted on instagib on a cramped map, which I find tends to be much better in smaller numbers.

by w00lf on 01/13/2004 17:06

20 player-instagib?
if it's cube, join and use fists! :P

Pxtl, that sounds VERY good
i think i will add that to magic-cube as well as an extra mod to normal cube, so that you can play with the normal weapons :D
but not now :)

#18: Thanks

by Pxtl on 01/13/2004 17:16

Yeah, that's what I do. :)

Anyhoo, I mispoke myself earlier - I listed scoring against all 4 teams - obviously you only score against the _other_ 3 teams, not against your own.

And that would be awesome - no offense intended, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy more complexity in Cube when it comes to equipment - I like the stupidly simple weaponspread - so the option of playing CTF4 with only the standard gear would rock.

#19: more on CTF4 distribution

#20: oops - empty post. More on CTF4 distribution...

You can see the scoring/indicators on left. The colour of the exclamation mark shows the team that currently holds the flag. The little boxes show how many flags of what colour that team needs to win - a faded box means they've got that flag. If a flag has been dropped, then a white downwards arrow sits on the flag indicator.

This is just a good example of a successful way to do the hud - no reason you have to follow this, but I'm just showing how it worked.
