[IDEA] small mod idea... flooded levels (Page 1 of 2)

but the water does not hurt anyone! the lava instead can

perhaps I explained it poorly...

that's my idea:

step 1:
make a new projectile (20dmg, slow, invisible, no curvature or so)

step 2:
bind projectile to a new gametile (shoots automatically once when the game starts)

step 3:
add this to survival-mod or something

step 4:
make map

No one is interested ?

sorry for bad english
not need projectile invisible; it is possible server side to trasform every tile in a row or in a column in a death-tile (less stress for server work) and add some server variables, from where of the 4 sides begin flood, and time in seconds to increase flood, example:
sv_flood_start_side 1-4 default 1 (1 from bottom, 2 from left, 3 from top, 4 from right)
if begin from a side, the flood increase one tile to opposite side every sv_flood_time seconds

only death-tile not gradually move like projectile, but increase one tile every time

while in both cases you must synchronize the graphical map with the growth rate of the flood
and at the end of each match should do the reload of the map, if not already so in survival mod

with my suggest mod you can create orizontal or vertical map

It's not a kind of race. This mode would be a sort of dm, you will still interact with players in order to be the last one alive. You'll shoot at them, hook them into the water, dance with them. Maybe you know the game Worms and the mode "sudden death" of it. I wont describe it here, but this is a bit similar to the gametype described here.

I think the idea is rly good. Only that survival is boring for the dead players.

i think again a better way for your idea: not need projectile or laser or dead tile.
if is necessary we can create new tile in game layer for map editor
the server must compare only the position of players if them are under flood, it's simple just evaluate pos of character

i don't know if is possible to sincronize a quad animation in map for give good graphic effect, if not possible, horizzontal laser is best solution i think

I simply offered a possible solution to the request of Sy, who are you to say what I need to talk? I can safely speak of the code, where is the problem?, or you want to prohibit me ????? goes to sleep better before saying such nonsense!!

That's right, that'ss why I suggested to put it into the old Survival Mod.
Blue has explain it correctly
I thought it could make the survival mod a bit popular again.

for race this technique would not really offer much new and only limit, as you say.

That's a good Idea!

y, y, y, exactly, that I tried to explain

unfortunately I've only played once or twice survival ;D there are too few players

this possibility would provide more functions, but a waterflood (or lava, acid) would look simply more awesome

this is a problem...

but
if the map already downloaded, there shouldnt be a big different.
if they join after the round starts, they're f*cked, they cant play anyway without reload/mapchange ;D

otherwise the maps should be as small as possible

edit: which also isnt possible with non-standard tilesets

Still, there is a map loading time that differs from some seconds from a client to another (I experienced issues for synchronization because of that)

its not synchronized
