Topic: Suggestion: Warmup Mode

Hi, I've been playing Tee Worlds for a little while now and I'm convinced that it is an EXCELLENT game. smile

I occasionally run a server from my PC and it's configured as a 1v1 server.  It allows up to 10 people (2 active players, 8 spectators) and I have set up a vote command so that it will restart the match in 10 seconds.  This allows me to set the game to 10 minutes rather than "whoever reaches X score wins match".

The problem with this is, the match is always in progress.  If I join the match, it will be 6 minutes remaining or, it will be on sudden death, followed by first person to kill wins and then map switch.  This is slightly annoying because I don't want it to do that! smile

I suggest some kind of warmup mod that would put the game into a permanent warmup ("without" the annoying warmup text on the middle of the screen and a countdown).  That way, when 2 players join the server, they can just frag in warmup mode with an infinite time limit.  When they're ready to play, they can call a vote to begin the match or press some key to "ready up"... similar to UTCOMP for ut2004 or UT3.

Is there such a mod that exists?  If not, can it be implemented into the next version of TeeWorlds?

More weapons would be excellent!  Perhaps a sticky gun that places time based exploding blobs on the walls or... a weak minigun for the noob. smile  Maybe even a weapon that charges up and releases multiple rockets or something else, I'm sure you can think of something!

Also, the ninja sword can be pretty deadly for 1v1.  I think it's balanced for the difficulty of it, but I am a pretty effective killer.  Perhaps a different powerup like, a mega shield / minor shield...

Also, it would be neat if you could change the style of gameplay to Super Smash Bro's style where there are no weapons to begin with and they randomly fall from the sky!  You could add silly weapons and powerups too, all Super Smash Bro's styled.  I realize that's totally ripping off Super smash bros but this would be a joke mode for fun only smile

Thanks,
-Neil

One thing you could do is to skip the warmup and play until you feel like you're ready. When both players are ready, you just type "sv_map_reload 1" in rcon and BAM, time and scores and are reset and you're ready to go. :]

If you want more weapons, make sure to check out the coming Tee-Strike mod. It's based on survival, so the gameplay is a bit different from vanilla Teeworlds, but perhaps you'll like it.

Gotta admit I don't really see why you just don't play SSB? xD

The proposition "I am the center" need never be uttered. It is the assumption upon which all certainty and all doubt turns.

Re: Suggestion: Warmup Mode

I need the "Muhn EE"!

lol j/k  I already have the game.  I just think it would be cool to see it in the Tee World's universe. smile

Is there a way to vote for the reload and set the time of the match in the same vote?  If so, then I could give the game an "initial" time limit of zero and that would work just fine.

Thanks,
