Topic: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Hello I am Nolay, the creator of the LUM level mod.

I created the first official version of this mod with the primary goal in mind to bring many new players to Teeworlds 0.7 and revive the old fashion style leveling gameplay of KOG|lvl, N-LVL and ME-LVL which was very popular in the older versions of Teeworlds.

The three letters in LUM stand for rather fitting "Levels, Upgrades & Mahyem" and represent the core of the gameplay.

The mod features a log in system so your progress will be saved.

The gameplay revolves around leveling up your account and upgrading your character and weapon stats, where the weapons unlock special abilities on certain levels.

You gain level by killing players, each time you level up you gain money to spend on upgrades.

I wish all of you who play it at least as much fun as i had creating it smile

Join and play now on version 0.7 or Steam.

The back then very popular mod called "KOG|lvl" inspired me to create this mod, thus I can proudly give credits to the creators "NoxNebula", "schmop", "MAP94" and "//Toast" and it's later joining publishers "Retro" and "iX::W4com".

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Well the game-play balance is trash & not fun, but the Special feature  •  Switch to your most favorite weapon upon respawn works well(unlike DDnets), is this open source?

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Thank you for your feedback, suggestions are always welcome smile

The LUM level mod is not open source and I don't plan to make it. But who knows, maybe I will change my mind some day .

I am happy for every tip on how to make the gameplay more fun / balance the weapons and stats.

Share your thoughts with me: Nolay.LUM@gmail.com, or post it on the forum.

Have a nice day ^^

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Maybe shotgun nerfs were a little to much. Having trouble killing gun spammers 10 levels below me.

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Bots (non player characters) must be reported as such to the master servers (or not reported), thereby not inflating the player count.
See the server rules: https://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs&am … rver_rules
Non compliance results in a masterserver ban. Please fix this issue.

Edit: Seems like it was just many clients started by one player to farm, so that's fine. In any case, it is good practice to leave a way of contact in the MOTD to clear out issues.

Not Luck, Just Magic.

As far as I know Schmop was the original creator of KoG|Level back in Teeworlds 0.5.2.
After 0.6 was released MAP94 was the author of KoG|Level and 0.6.x it was //toast.

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

And after //toast it was me, who was the main dev. Until 2015 or so.

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

If you have trouble dealing with someone who is that much below you in level, you should consider spending more upgrades on your life.

Everyone with a spammable weapon can kill someone who does not have a sufficient amount of health with ease.

I recommend you upgrading ~10 life per 100 level.

Fun is limitless, limitlessness is fun!

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

And still KoG or whatever this mod is, it's dead since the original developers leaved it

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

But he gave wrong credits, that's a nogo

Re: LUM | Level mod *Levels, Upgrades & Mayhem*

Hello Toast and Stitch, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

I would appreciate it if you could provide a list of all the developers of the previous developers
of KOG|lvl, so I can give proper credits.

Have a nice day everyone ^^
