Yes, aside from my maps and weapons thread, I have decided to create this thread. Here, you can talk about the newest mod in the lobby: Capture the Base. (CTB) I also want this mod to be a community effort. I will accept all the help, ideas, maps, weapons ect. I can get for this mod. If you help, you will get your name in the special thanks spot of this thread.

 

 

Because I plan to make many different CTB levels in various locales, I will only tell you the general base layout. This information can vary from level to level.

The base is composed of two rooms: An entrance and a scoring room. The entrance is basicly a hallway that leads to the scoring room. To get into the scoring room, you must hit a pad, or maneuver through a small corridor to reach the scoring room. Once in the scoring room, you will not be able to leave. You must fight to stay alive in the scoring room!

 

 

Spawn points will usually be quite a ways away from the base, with pads to speed quickly to the base entrance. Powerups and reloaders will be positioned somewhere near the spawn point. The rest of the level will be dotted with objects suitable for it's location.

 

 

- Some levels will make use of glitches. That's right, in some levels you will purposely be able to exploit glitches to maximize your score. Be sure to check here, as many of the glitches will be posted here. If not by me, by fellow players.

- You will usually spawn in a cluster. It is sometimes best to get to the base last to avoid firefights at the beginning of the game. Many people will be injured by the time you reach the base too!

- Some bases may have secret rooms. They may contain extra scoring pads that will give you more points than normal, or they may contain powerups or reloaders.

- By meeting certain conditions within a level, you may be able to spawn at special spawn points. This script is now developed, and I am currently trying to find a good use for it. Remember to watch the news area!

- If you have any game tips you would like to share, please post them in this thread. I will be glad to add them to this space!

 

 

Ishbuu |BOT| for all of his work on the game scripts. Without his help, CTB would still be in it's beta stage, with no points being awarded.

187 for alot of help with script development.

Roach (SA) for suggesting a large list of rotation values to increase scoring radius.

Ice Punk for submitting the awesome Plasma Gun, which is now included in CTB!

 

 

Fevruary 29/04 (Sunday, Leap Day) - Submitted weapons have been integrated into CTB. Submitted maps will be entered sometime this week.

February 21/04 (Saturday) - The new CTB is here! This will fix several glitches, but may also introduce new ones. You no longer need to be in the scoring pad, as the entire base will give you points! Due to this, I have made the base smaller. Enjoy CTB!

February 20/04 (Friday) - Just found a glitch that after you leave the scoring pad, you keep scoring. The jump pad within the base has been removed to prevent exploition of this glitch.

February 20/04 (Friday) - We just finished a string of about 30 games that lasted from early yesterday evening to this morning, at about 1:00 AM. We had a few dedicated players that played for hours. If you weren't there, you missed alot of fun, high scoring, and fast action!

February 19/04 (Thursday) - Ishbuu finalizes the game scripts. Scoring is now in effect.

February 18/04 (Wednesday) - Now accepting maps and weapons for CTB. Please visit this thread for details.

 

 

Coming soon! ;)

 

 

Please feel free to discuss the game mode in this thread! Please keep it on topic. You can also discuss ideas, thoughts, play expierences, ect.

If you find bugs or glitches, please report them here. Always refer to this post for news and high scores.

If you would rather send me your suggestions or comments, please email me at nathan_gibney@yahoo.ca !

Have fun with CTB, the on-going TT project! By the community, for the community!

Hi Nathan this is Kerridwen; I am speking on half of 187 she is sleepying but I wanted to be the first to give yo my highest reagrds on your new mod. And ish as well as he had a consierable amount to do with it I reckon. Is fun to play everyone is going to love it. >>Kerr<<

 

Thanks. That is right, Ishbuu helped ALOT on this mod. Did most of the base scripts for it, for things like scoring and stat logging. I hope to get stat logging up and running soon to begin to fill my high scores spot.

Tee he he logging is now done thanks to a little thinking and a good nights rest :'( XD nathan will get information on how to log all stats all inside an e-mail very soon and it will be added to the CTB scripts.

Cheers

--Ishbuu

Wow Ishbuu, thanks. I should implement that soon, maybe start a webpage that I can FTP the TXT file to so I can keep recent results.

It's fun copying -z-. ;)

Yo nathan, will u send me the.mis file, scripts and everything else for ur cool mod? Please I promise I wont steal it(y wud I steal for u? Ur nathan, ur cool) thanks. U can email me the stuff @ nate44@adelphia.net

Sigh. I don't know why saying "no" in-game isn't always enough. Thought English was the same, wether on forums or in a game?

You should help by contributing, rather than try to get the scripts from me. They aren't all my scripts anyway.

Sorry, jeez. Wut cud I contribute?

Sorry, just pissed off yesterday. Check out my Maps and Weapons thread if you want to contribute.

I have taken some screenshots so you don't have to come into the mod to see what it's like. Here is a small preview of what CTB is all about!

You start atop the hill, hit a boost pad, and fly down toward the base. At the start of the game, this space is chaotic!

The entranceway to the base. You drive over the shrubs, and hit the jump pad inside to rocket into the main area of the base. Be careful to not get stuck amonst the rocks!

Scoring inside the base. The "The base is under siege!" message is a warning that someone is coming to the base!

I hope you liked this small tour of the CTB base. More maps to come!

Update: Weapons have been added. Please view my weapons and maps thread if you wish to contribute.

Please comment on CTB!

:o This looks like it will be an amazinf new version for TT, let's hope it will bring some demos to buy the game (ONLY 20$!!) so we can all enjoy it, I'm not much of a scriptor myself, but I just LOVE being the one to experince others hard work XD I will shutup now....

Oh, you don't have to stop talking. Praise is quite alright. ;)

(Be sure to read my "Special Thanks" section at the top)

Well, then I would like to thank everyone involved with the making of this new gameplay type (that is.... IF... It is succesful B) )

 

 

AND SO, I have finshed my praise, and finishing up, will be some strange faces!

:) XD :'( ;) :S %) :[ :P XO :o :( X/ B) 8o 8( 8( 8o B) %) XD XO :'( :( :( ;) XD :) %) XD :(

Hopefully it will be successful. When the master server comes back, I'm sure it will be a "central meeting area" for the rioters.
