Happy New Years everyone,

About 6 months ago I came up with a idea for a game type. I have limited scripting skills, so I asked WarFare if he would make the script for me. I just received the script and have been testing it. And I have to say he did a wonderful job, it's everything I had hoped for.

The game type is called Team Survivor, Think of it as TT Dodge Ball. I have put this game on a normal TT map with Normal weapons. The Server name is New Game Type Repents . My locked server will run the new game on one of my regular mods.
The objective of the game is to eliminate the other team.
When a player is killed by a player on the opposing team, they're put into observer mode they can only return when someone on their team kills an opposing player. All players return to the game in the order they were eliminated, first one out first to return. Team killers and players that kill themselves are also put into observer mode. The game last 15 mins but we have had as many as 7 rounds per game. The game keeps track of individual scores and team wins.

I hope you take the time to check it out it's allot of fun with 4 to 6 players and I think it would make a great league game. Please let me know what you think.

Thank You
Repent.

Anti-diver was a misleading name. I think all it does is return an out of bounds scrum to the average players' position. I'm not sure what the name of the script is for returning out of bound players without ammo.

The strange thing that happened is that if you're smoking and jump into the fog the script now puts you into observer mode, if the last person that shot you was on your team they are put into observer mode for team killing. So adding it seems to have worked after all, check it out.

Bump,

Come on guys, if you haven't tried it check it out , if you have give me some feed back!!

^ I have only been playin TT for 6 months or so and having started playin I soon discovered Modding, something I promised myself I would not get into but hey ho I did. Only at that point did I realise the work and the time that has to go into making a Mod from scratch, a very sharp learning process indeed (with much stress the first time). I have very little knowledge of scripting, apart from the basics, but again TOTALLY realise the work and the time you and Warfare must have put into creating this game type from an idea. Personally I think the concept is very cleaver and extremely well made, and to put the icing on the cake it plays real nice.

I have played Team Survivor quite a few times and really like the game. A couple of days ago I think it was 6 a side and it was wicked, not knowing when or if I was going to respawn so even when in obs you have the watch the game closley cos if you do suddenly respawn back into the round if you are not playing attention you are dead and back in obs before you know it. One thing that is scary is when its just you and 4-5 tanks are hunting you down - run run run.........

I would reccomend that if you have'nt played Team Survivor yet you do as this game rocks XD

I for one will play often and to Repent and Warfare I say a massice NICE #1

(very happy :) )

^ history = same
opinion = same
I love dodgeball!

This team survivor thing is a kick. Dazzle's right about paying attention. So far I've played with up to 4 on a side, but the more players are in there, the more fun and intense it gets.

Great server, great fun. Adding the scripts that control diving really improved it, too. I did notice that occasionally a team gets two wins for one. I think they get credit for the other team not spawning in fast enough. A little bug, but still fun.

@Repent- you mentioned in another thread that it hadn't been noticed by the community. Not so. Good job guys!

Maybe if I keep two bots in the game at all times that bug will desapear!! The bots should spawn at the same time.

It is fun and good but yesterday every so often you would get huge lag bumps...

^ Thanks for the info I will put it to good use. XD

@Repent
I know you charged me long ago of this gametype and that I gave you a non-working version because I didnt have time nor pacience to finish it. I'm sorry about it. Anyways I'd like to know if warfare used any parts of my non-working script (wich should work theoretically lol)

BTW: Great work Warfare!
This was a great idea repent ;) I'm just sorry I couldnt do it :(

And about the bug you seem to be having. It should be easy to fix, just add a pref that must be true to check if a team won. If it is false it'll just go through the "team won" checking. It'd be true by default. Then set that pref false when spawning everybody, and make it true again once you spawn everybody (schedule it like 100 ms after spawning everybody to be safe that it wont make a team win twice)

I'm not sure, I will ask him the next time I talk to him. Art it's ok I'm over it now, I still consider you to be my friend. :P

I noticed a couple of things:
1) occasionally a bot will clone himself in the game. What's wierd is when one version gets killed, the other version "commits suicide." Literally, that's the message at the bottom of the screen.
2) In the right circumstances you can dive to respawn with full health. If possible, you should make it so that you respawn with the same health and ammo levels you had going into the mist (not sure if that's possible though).

3) it's a blast!

We still have some bugs to work out, I'm glade you like it. :)

Thanks.

Lol Rep... Nice stars ;) How did you get that in there? Admins joking again :P?

You think thats funny? You should see TGs! :P

Just an update, I have added Master TMO's Beelze Bots AIs, ABLE and BRAVO to the game. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks
Repent
