[MOD] Alien (RC4) (Page 2 of 3)

I think I would increase the firepower of the stationary turrets that can be used by humans.

It's all RC3... just forgot to change the text in the first thread.

It's an option that is already configurable (sv_reapinator_delay  - default is 120 (seconds)) - and this value is good in my opinion. The reapinator immediately metamorphes a mutant into a reaper if he got enough score. But with some luck you can even get enough score already at begin of game.... (for example hit 2 humans, and jump into the generator) then you switch to reaper at begin of game (cause warmup is deactivated) and then the round could be finished very soon - The reaper is very dangerous so it should not be too easy to became one. Often the mutants win (just with hammer) without reaper.

Well maybe I would add an option in next version.

It's just an empty value that does nothing. So if you create an entry in your vote-list you can add some lines to sort a little bit:

add_vote "===========================================================" "sv_dummy 0"

And even if somebody votes it - it does nothing.

Limit max research? Or cost of research?

Curious, and sorry for being so newbie, how do you run this on a dedicated linux server? Since it's a bin I've never really run one and I'm new to this, but I see the default server to setup teeworlds isn't a .bin. :<

If I'm in the wrong section for asking such a question could someone direct me to the proper place? I checked for a FAQ in modifications and saw nothing, nor have I seen it in the official FAQ where server is.

Thanks  Figured it out and am for now running a US based server of this to play with friends (but it's open) since the other one lags me.

Now, another question, I'm trying to get 'Reaper' and 'Hero' set to 2 kills like the original seems to be on the other server, so I changed:
sv_reapinatordelay,15,0,9999, "Score to became hero"
to
sv_reapinatordelay,2,0,9999, "Score to became hero"
This made no change, am I missing something here?

So in your cfg for the server, you need to take out all the commas and only have one number. It is confusing how the mod creator posted this, but usually the first number is the default, second is the minimum and the third is the largest, so you would want to change it to:

 sv_reapinatordelay 2 

I'm already checking for... but if an entity is found then it's the normal Alien-research system. The backwards-compatibilty to normal maps is no bug but a feature ... You could easy avoid that by putting just alien maps into the votelist as hoster.

If it's running in "compatible-mode" then you are right but it's still different. You would never became a reaper or hero in Infection and even things like clusterbombs or the laser-teleinator are not included. One main reason for me to create this mod was I would create an open-source one. I thought infection is a nice mod (I still think so) but I disliked hosting closed source stuff on my server.

It's an option you could configure as hoster.

Thx for the feedback

This is how long you would try without success to upgrade your tee to a reaper. It's to avoid somebody is getting reaper too fast (e.g. if you have low sv_reapinator_minscore set) and sucks everybody into a black hole.

This one is the minimum score a player have to reach until the reapinator would accept him after the sv_reapinatordelay passed. So if you set 2 mins delay and that minscore to 3 a mutant that got score 3 would be metamorphosed into a reaper.

This one is independet from the reapinator. So I would recommend to give that a bit higher value. Reapinator is that red-machine in area_xenon. 

This one is not reaper but normal metamorphose (e.g. self-heal, ...)

Mhh I guess I messed something up at the docu here (which mainly is copy and paste of the sourcepart of variables.h stripped down a bit to make it easier readable).

This is ... at least no feature. But I'm pretty sure I never coded something like auto-spectate.
Did you set some "sv_spectator_slots" ??

Edit: I hate auto-merging-post-function. Who would read such huge posts (that was written to two different people).

Yes you are right. Thx. It's wrong (misstake by copy/paste). The line should be called:

MACRO_CONFIG_INT(SvHeroBecameScore, sv_becamehero_score,15,0,9999,CFGFLAG_SERVER, "Score to became hero")

I've updated the source (have to setup my build machines first to release bins) for now: alien-rc4 source

Done. Built RC4 for linux-32bit, linux-64bit and windows-32bit. See links first page of this thread.

I already did and answered you. But this forum uses some auto-merge. So it put posts to different persons together...

Can someone  share FullSource & enteties of Alien ?

@Mo2

tnx for links but 2 same links i need Entities and if u can upload Alien-TW RC4 source (full tar.gz) (9.1MB) .

It's basically possible to get source with "patch" if you download the 0.6.1 version of TW - however if you have to much time and bandwith...
