[MOD] Competitive Team Deathmatch (Page 1 of 2)

UPDATE (5 years later, haha)
I'm doing a bit of work on a 0.6 port of this, maybe. Maybe, maybe. See here: https://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtop … 69#p114869

Hey guys! This is what all of you have been waiting for! (I'm sure)

As the title says, this is a modification for Teeworlds aimed at improving TDM gameplay! Anyone who ever got into TDM in another game (Quake for example) knows that what TDM is all about is timing powerups as a team - something Teeworlds was lacking until now, since the only powerup (the Ninja) was so weak it wasn't worth fighting for. So what we wanted to do first of all was adding strong powerups. While we were at it, we also added three new weapons, two of which you might know from other games, while the third one is also kinda like a powerup in its strength. Then, there is overfilling like in every other FPS, Yellow Armor, Red Armor and Megahealth. As additional mapfeatures we added jumppads and teleporters.
What we got, in the end, is something that seems like a very much improved gameplay experience in every aspect and might probably be also benefittable for CTF and Duels, but we don't offer a ctf-variant because shit's throwing error messages and we aren't keen on balancing everything out for this gametype anyways.
Now on to a more detailed list of our changes!

New gametypes: ctdm (competitive team deathmatch) and xffa (to differ from an eventual cduel gametype)! You have to enable one of those to enable any of the new features.

Weapons:

The Shaft!!

Continuing the Quake series' legacy in Teeworlds, as weapon number six in game we present you the Shaft. Currently it deals one damage every 45ms with an ammocount of 120 max. Due to the nature battles are fought in Tw, this weapon, not allowing you to adjust your hook without losing firetime, might be at a disadvantage, so it was granted a great deal of theoretical dps.

The Spin Gun

The Spin Gun always hits in a determined distance from the user. It deals a maximum of 14 damage, obviously lowering with a characters distance from the point of impact. Every hit cancels hook and knocks back disproportionately strong. Five ammo maximum, 1000ms cooldown. At the moment, this gun is still on the normal weapon respawntimer - we'll see how this turns out.

The "Bio Rifle"

Though called the Bio Rifle, this weapon is more like Quake's Plasma Gun, in that it flies straight, shoots fast, and has a slight knockback. When it hits ground, though, it will stick for a certain amount of time and deal damage when approached. Currently 30 ammo max, 2 damage (splash) per projectile, 140ms cooldown.

Powerups:

Golden Hook / Hookdamage

This is our take on the concept of "Quad Damage". Of course you could always just make a powerup that amplifies dealt damage, but with the special nature of Tw, this seemed to be more fitting. Currently, it will deal 3 * 5 damage over the course of one hooking period and also allow you to hook unhookable tiles. Hopefully, this will prove strong enough, so we won't have to resort to unoriginal powerups in order to make TDM interesting. Respawn is 90sec, duration 30.

The Powersuit

Owner takes no splashdamage and can't be hooked. Knockback is still in effect though (aside from the Spin Gun's) so you can grenadejump around the map freely! Respawn is rather frequent atm, we'll see how it turns out.

Megahealth: Restores ten health and is currently the only possibility to overfill your health. 35sec respawn.
Red Armor / Yellow Armor: Restores ten / five armor. Armor can be overfilled with everything.

Because you can now overfill, weapon damage of the standard weapons was adjusted and you spawn with an additional five armour:
Laser deals eight damage, up from five.
Shotgun shoots two additional pellets.
Players now deal 75% damage to self, up from 50%.

Also, Ninja spawns more often now, making it more a part of the normal game.

Maps:
We currently have included four maps that were done specifically for this modification in the download, called ctdm1, ctdm2, ctdm3 and ctdm4. As four maps are not much, we would be glad to add many more; so fire up your editors! For now, we won't run a competition or something like that, but we intend to integrate any good maps that will eventually spring up into the "official" mappack.
