[MOD] KTF - Keep the Flag! (-Lead your team to victory) (Page 1 of 2)

I love the idea !
*Hoping for someone to do it*

this mod supports insta https://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10139 but of course is different

That camping is really annoying. Doing it this way would prevent it.
If you can't find someone i may recode it this way when 0.7 is out

...

I just coded a bit and my result is this (mirror). I hope it is good . Since I am inexperienced in coding there are probably some bugs. Also it is not tested very often so feel free to pm me.

edit:
first link works fine for me but anyway I put another one

Thank you very much for your work and effort, I really value that!

Anyway,
Soon I will do some immersive research, but now from my early tests I would suggest you adding some avaliable commands to the server config file. If possible, then atleast for these 4 things:
(both team score/personal score)
- killing a persong without a flag
- killing a persong with the flag
- picking up the flag
- retrieving the flag

Other than that, amazing work!
I will put your file to the main post soon. ^^

Also I'm thinking, maybe we should call this mod something else as there already is a mod called HTF (Hold the Flag).
I was thinking of something like FSN (Flag Snipe/ing/er). I don't really know.. Try to think of something that would represent this mod, if you can guys..

The mod is very fun, I really like it, but it need more recognition - because so far, I haven't played with more than 4 people at once. Also, I can't host perma server right now (which kinda sucks, because I would love to)...

Anyway, I'm trying hard to figure out a name for this mod so if you could suggest anything, that would represent the mod I would appreciate that.

Thanks!

I really appreciate your work, I will test it out, but it would be helpful if you would next time atleast simply describe what does those commands do. ^^

Well, it's about holding that flag, that's true - but it's also about killing with that flag.
It makes the person that holds the flag the most important person in the team. So I would use the word "leader" in the name or something similar to it..

But yeah, I want to keep the name simple as DM or CTF is...

Well as GLaDOS said: The best solution to a problem is usually the easiest one.
So we will use the name KTF - Keep the Flag - from now on, as that's pretty much the point of the mod. Keeping the flag for as long as possible. Thanks for your help Broken.
I also noticed that you are the most active person in the Teeworlds forum. You always reply to any topic out there. ^^

Omg, I'm so tired. It's 1:15 in the morning I should go to sleep now. I was working on the main post for like an hour...

Hi HMH, could you please follow my first post and adjust the mod to that final form, so we can make this mod official and ready to use for everyone?

Alright my dear HMH, it's almost ready, but there are still few more things to change.

First, could you please make 2 separate mods, not just a single one?
- KTF (please, not KtF but KTF - same as CTF)
- iKTF (with lasers or grenades only, add command like sv_weapontype (or sv_weapon) to change the weapon without needing to restart that match, so players can choose from these two)

About those commands, they're mostly fine, but few of them just doesn't fit to the mod.

Please remove:
- sv_capture (it's not meant to capture a flag in this mod, if this command would be allowed, it wouldn't be KTF anymore)
- sv_capture_teamscore and sv_capture_score
- sv_suicide_teampenalty (this command has to go, because it could be very much abused - although I have no problem with the sv_suicide_penalty)

These two can stay so players can tune the weapons:
sv_grenade_dmg
sv_explosive_laser

And lastly, please make it so when a flag falls into abyss doesn't give any team score.

That's probably all, thank you very much for helping with this mod, I appreciate every single bit of your effort. ^^
I will surely make at least one new map exclusively for this mod. It's so much fun that it'll be worth it.

It is great to read about a new instagib mode! Good idea to modify the flag gametype once more.
And even better one kind person already worked on the code, I really appreciate your efforts and want to express my gratitude
Creating a good documentation is another task, thank you for adding all the details.

But why do you want to remove certain commands, IcyPRO? Of course I understand you do not want it to become one universal mod with several gametypes, however providing the option to choose between different options (default gametypes and additional commands for further alterations) is the better way to make it a common server modification. Anybody could just exchange the default CTF server package with this one, adding some vote options and has a versatile server up and running.
So in my opinion these options do no harm, just making a proper default setting is mandatory.

Okay, I hope you want it to become polished and shiny
Though I think some commands are there to finetune the mod, allow different possibilities as well, and this requires a reasonable admininstrator, thats for sure. Not every single option should be available via vote, but if this should ever become played regularly...
Having "weird" vote options can be fun when you stick longer at the same mod and want to adjust some things It is like iCTF (which is the reason why I played teeworlds for such a long time) when laserjumps on/off is available - you dont use it, never, but sometimes its the best way to go.
A mod should be self contained, yet a few switches for a change are welcome.

HMH, brilliant work as always.

I have only one complaint, the laser explosions make sounds. This is highly irregular and irritating if it could be fixed.
