#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.

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.

#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.

Also really like original Cube, but also enjoy to play with the source code -like may here.
So if i want to make a mod, i'll use an engine i really love, not another one.
If you begin to criticize ppl who enjoys modding Cube here, i think you'll get flamed very fast ;)

I am programming VB and VB.Net, Perl, HTML, a little bit javascript and CubeScript, of course.

Very Good job W00lf! I really like that you are willing to complete this mod and don't stop after a while.

Hey :) it's different than programming own games, because of...
success...
my own games might have funny engines, but i can't make graphics or models for it

btw. i realized that the Makefile of the 01-17 release is wrong, i'll add it to the inventory fix i'm uploading at the moment :)

the inventory works correctly in this release (from start you have one of each potion in your inventory) but no potion/ammo-item models are visible/collectable in any game mode... only armor/quad/teleporter-models, etc.

did you use the ZIP or the CVS?

gotta fix that!

i used the .zip

but maybe there still is the possibility that something went wrong with the installation on my machine, so it would be better you test it by unzipping it in a separate directory on your machine too...
