Title: Is new mode possible?
Post by: Smacker on August 12, 2013, 09:57:58 AM
I was thinking, we have a few modes in the game - CTF,SIEGE,KOTH,1FLAG,ELIM,DM,TDM,PONG...  Is it possible to make a new mode for example for 3vs3 matches? Is the game code so flexible that new mode could be created? Would people like new mode in the game?
Leave a comment.

What mode would you be thinking off? (no offense, just curious, as I think the available modes already cover up a whole lot of different gameplay)

Well I do not know the possibilites, so maybe some things I am thinking of could be just something impossible, like only a player with pgp can grab a flag and smiliar things.

Of course it's possible, but everybody tends to just play CTF mode, so I'm not sure if it's worth adding anything else.

Yes, first some feedback from players would be great if they want to play something new, or keep on plying ctf and siege modes. I think something new would be interesting and might catch on.

What about some kind of conquest, similar to the one in Battlefield?

I remember a long time ago someone suggested these game modes (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=22039).

Gamemodes are enough here to create new types of matching...

You need special maps in order to do it!

Example and good idea:
1 versus 2

The one got good weapons like carbine, steel barrel, 200 hopper with ammo and 2x 20oz Co2...

The other 2 guys have pgp, chrome barrel little bit Co2 and full ammo too...


The one has to cap an flag which is maybe easy to grab but difficult to cap... The 2 people have to defend by killing the attacker...

Look at that... My idea is based on that mode! You can even play it with 3 people too... I think that it wont be getting unfair with 1 versus 3 people...

One thing I could think of, is some kind of "team stealing".

Every team starts with x players.
As soon as a member of the red team kills a blue team member, that member switches to the red team. The first team to take over the entire foe team wins a point.

I like that gamemode.

Quake Live Red Rover mode. Should be fairly easy to implement. GREAT for pubs in pb2 - newbies don't have to wait for revival and nobody gets mad at them for being capped on.

I was considering modifying KOTH mode to be more conquest-like, since nobody really plays it, anyway.

wouldn't it be possible to create a possibility for mappers to create their own gamemode? I think this would be much easier than leaving all the work to jitspoe and also it would make it easier to create new creative maps with unseen gameplay.
Title: Re: Is new mode possible?
Post by: jitspoe on August 14, 2013, 04:08:44 PM
Well, mappers rarely take advantage of the things that are already available, so it's difficult to justify spending the time to implement something like this.  It would be munch simpler to explicitly implement a new game mode than write a system to support custom game modes for mappers.

I got already plans for a conquest like map with KOTH...
Its pretty easy...

Make classes with doors so you grab your armor automatically by going through the door and then you enter the battle!

A big open map with 8 hills to capture and when someone is at an base it will open you a door in your classchangebase to port yourself to him...


Just my cool idea!

Ah, yeah, I wouldn't mind putting that in there.

if you could incorporate the ability to change the gravity,speed, weapons etc. then you could just have a custom game mechanism where many changes would pave way for different game modes.

ah, payl, forgot about that guy.

although you say in your post youd lost the CTF element, if in game settings were customisable, you could leave CTF in there and just have a CTF gun game. could be pretty fun

Gun game could probably be thrown in as a modifier for any game mode.  The weapon side of it, anyway.  If the objective is to complete going through all the weapons, then CTF doesn't really make sense.

As there isn't many markers in this game, should probably do 2 or 3 kills then change marker. Otherwise games would be about 2 minutes long haha.

Well, you could do like each weapon/upgrade combo, maybe.

could have a game centred around gun game, or just throw it in there for a bit of fun. gun game CTF could even make wobluda fun

I was just thinking, along the lines of gun game, it could be kind of fun to have a mode where everybody starts out with pgp's and people you eliminate randomly drop equipment slightly better than what you have.
