I have made new gametype called Bumping. There is no reload gate, powerups or defaultprojectiles. The idea is to bump other players to the fog! Don't worry, the bumping power is raised.

First, I teach you the Rules.

This is pretty simple game, everytime you get bumped to the fog you get one minus point (-1) second time you get another (-2). Try not get the minus points, but try to bump other players to the fog so everyone sees that you are the best player here, you have no minus points! I say thats very hard, even with well made bots.

It's better that this game is not for team playing, becouse in Fights (more later...) you may bump your own team players off too.

Then, I tell you about the tanks.

LightTank is quick, easy to control, and good Duel player. Dueling means 1 vs 1 fight (Bumping match), and LightTank have pretty good changes to win a duel, but still your skills means more than your tank. I have names for all the tanks in Bumping, I call LightTank Hunter . B)

MediumTank is just little slower than Light, easy to control and good Fight er. Fight means when 4-10 players are "bumping" together, it is really funny watching all the tanks flying there. While half of the players in the server may have a Fight, then one or two LightTanks may wait if someone gets bumped off from the Fight-area and try to Duel him/her. MediumTank I call of course Fighter .

HeavyTank , you will enjoy it! HeavyTank is very slidy, but easiest to control in all other ways. I tell you why I call it Police , becouse if there is a Fight (read above) one HeavyTank can easily bump all off*) . Of course any other tank can too, but HeavyTank has got best abilities for it, it's powerful mwahahaa :P

Babyboss I may add later if I decide to include tankchangers in my Bumping maps (default maps, powerups/reload gates removed) but I warn you when or if the babyboss comes dont try to duel with it if you are new to this gametype XD with babyboss you can easily move back to your opponent and start bumping/pushing your opponent to the fog.

I havent changed bosstanks bumping power yet, so it may not be any super-bumper-bot until with the tankchangers update.

I will host this mod when I have time, I dont have much homework, but I live in finland and I cant make dedicated server, no helping in this thread Please...

Check it out, it's fun!

*) This one is like Chain reaction . You bump one tank, it bumps another and so on, the Fight ends on that 6 players of 10 are flying away and the rest 4 have few Duels and try to start new Fight with the respawned ones. (Just an example.)

Sounds like lots of fun. The original maps might be to big to bump people off. Players could easily stay in the center of the map. Of course they might not win unless every one else has negatives. O maybe some one could program the bots to bump people off to. That would be great if you are the only one in the mod at the time. Plz check your E-Mail.

I checked my e-mail and replied you. No you dont know what this means

, there is different code for bumping power of the tanks. One heavy tank and one LightTank in center of the map, when either of them bumps the other there is big change that bots fly to fog.

Come try it and then say what you think. (if you're playing at same time....)

U have forgot datablocks for Boss, Jeep and AdminTank! :'(

Bumping will not use anything that needs to be downloaded becouse demos may play there too. I have made datablock for BossTank, but I will only make one bosstank bot becouse its too good for player to use, it will bump 'em all.

I played it and its an very fun and addictive game XD ITs realy nice

I played "Bumping" today under an ALIAS and enjoyed it very much. Very fun and lots of laughs.
The only draw back is the scoring.
Players that join late or leave and come back have a zero score. Which is the gaol... To have the least negative points.
Some players did this. They would get bumped out and then leave and come back. Thus giving them the highest score...WEAK!

Possible Solution:

Is it possible to have your score increase over time? Sort of like being in the base in CTF?
Every minute you get a point but if you get knocked out, you loose a point.
MAX points 15
Closest to 15 wins.
When you join you have 0.

I am excited about this new game type. Fun fun fun. Kudos to those who thought of it and made it happen.
MAX

Hmm... I dont think the script is mine.. Lol And as I'm posting, wich part of the script?

Well, MAX has a point. I suggest that u use IP system putti. That way if people rejoin for a new score they wont get it. Try to use IP's for the scoring system!

I made everything except scoring thingy. When I told trivox that I need some way to score in a battle-like mod but no weapons or powerups, he said try negative scores. It works but as max said, when player joins he's automatically leading. In one round if you play all the time and you are very bad at this mod you will not get over -20 I think. Very often round ends at scores

JustJoinedPlayer 0
FewMinsPlayed -4
SomeTimePlayed -6
Anotherˆ -6
Anotherˆ -7

...and few players with -7 to -12 score. The player who has just joined after round ending won the game.

Triv said he was making the negative score script but someone did it before him and he took the completed one. So I use script I dont know who made it. Do you want I send it to you art?

And nice to hear you like it %) people wanted me to leave the server when I went to eat and close after im finished XD My little brother laughed all the time he played it!! XD XD

Today my dad bought Mac Mini and I will try to make Bumping Dedicated Server with it. Hope it works.

Oh... Yea knew for a long time how to make the negative score script... Its even posted in a thread somewhere in PTT... But I guess triv made the one youre using so...

Pics plz??(plz put it on now.)

Theres nothing new except the tanks dont have defaultprojectiles, there is no powerups and no reload gate. And the tanks bump harder than normal. Are you sure you want screenshots of Cranium Crater with no reload gate?

Bumping ROCKS! I played it today and it was excellant. But if a just joined player has maximum points in the lead, all he has to do is duck and weave to maintain maximum points and eventually win? Then wheres the bumping? Cool Boss-slugchase we had today in the islands of Cranium Crater, putti, eventually returning and finding *** as "bread". XD Strangely, the Boss is fogproof. Anyone know why?

Becouse its the Boss! XD The Bumping happens when a player wants to be only with maximum points, not that everyone have. When he wants to be the best he has to defeat the others.

Who cares if its the Boss! It's fogproof everywhere! Even in QuickPlay and Solo its fogproof! Even the AdminTank isnt fogproof, with 0.0 armorscale and double armor of Boss, a couple of minutes in fog will kill it too. :o Anyone know why Bosses everywhere are fogproof while the AdminTank which outclasses the Boss in almost everything isnt? :(

PS: Wat r ur names for Babyboss and Boss? They could be "Tiny" and "Invincible".

Heck post PS to your latest post...and I dont want this thread be help thread for your fogproof-question, I think it's becouse in Solo it would be too easy if you can just bump the boss off and it died. :P

K. But I dont get wat u mean with bumping the boss off.

You know you try to drive through other tank the other tank moves back when you bump it...? Bump the boss until it falls of the edge and it dies, but its not that easy becouse bosses dont care if there is deadly fog area, they come back from there and kill you :D

Eh... K. I beat the bosses(Assimov, Zeus, Hugo) by admtank. But thats in the tactics forum. I havent seen a Bumping server since that last one? It would be good if u launched a dedicated bumping server. How come that without any predownloads watsoever, I got on to ur Bumping server in a flash of quick loading time, while Drag-Racing servers take about a half hour?

Becouse I like making mods with no download. (= I dont use stuff you dont have, so nothing needs to be downloaded to your computer) They are simple and reminds people from the Good Old Times when modding was "secret". :S

BUMPEROOSKIEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is a gr8 gametype so I bump it, it was escaping. XD

Well now you bumped it then I must host it again... %) EDIT: I host it later (later like after one month or less...) becouse its boring to me when I play it everytime and I dont want make dedicated server for it becouse it will get boring to all others when its always up. :P

Not on TT though

Liked your mod a lot clown, put it up more it's FUN. Too bad you sleep when I play and I sleep when you play though

Very fun MOD, fun the heavy gets bumped off too easy.

Heavies work in covered places for example in cranium crater if you play with heavy the best place is to hide in the crater becouse the rocks stop you from sliding off.

I will host it more but you have to ask me for tank changing becouse I'm lazy and I haven't edited my tankchangers yet.

The trees in Freudian help the slippery, slidy heavies a lot. I'll come to the first Bumping Server I c wen I return to TT in November cuz its the best fun, especially last time I had played, it wuz fantastic. Hows the "Obstacle Course" comin along clown(or putti, with diff username)? The Goopools mod needs a better sky, its visibility is nill. U could use Target Tanks as ur bots, though, u can even bring BabyBoss Bots(TargetSaucer) which wll make a havoc cuz theyr normally designed to bump u in Target Practice.

_______________________________________________________

In November, I shalll change my username to "Dis-Truction Force!"
like it?

Thank you for the TargetSaucer idea. I was going to use the target al's in my new mod but I didnt note that the targetsaucer is actually bumping bot XD

The obstacle course is coming next year or sooner... I dont just have time for it.
