Planned new game mode - no name yet

[divVerent]

Current title is Key Hunter, and a server is running on 141.2.16.16. Enjoy!

I like the idea very much, haven't yet tested it on the server but I'll return with feedback when I do. I think we really needed something to make use of the various teams Nexuiz supports, not only the classic Blue vs Red eternal battle and this also seems like a cool thing not many people have tried before .

A windows 95 CD and a boxing ball?
A mac and an axe?
A linux cd and a bookshelf full of guides for dummies?

You know, there was a Half-Life mod named Wanted where you had a game mode similar to CTF (heck, it was pure CTF) but it was called Capture The Chicken. And you can imagine how running around with a screaming chicken in your hand and being shot at was .

P.S.: I guess now the teams will FINALLY get together and not run in the 4 winds' direction all the time .

BTW, I found out what the keys are for.

It is a simple game, a small contest:

The teams come together, paying their entrance fee. The entrance fees end up on a numbered account: just getting the number of the account gets you the money.

The account number then gets written down to a piece paper for each player. Each piece of paper is put in a small safe that he will carry with him.

The safes are locked and have multiple keyholes - as many keyholes as there are teams. The keyholes are designed in a way so that you can take the key out only if it is locked. The safes also are secure, in the way that any way to open the safe without the keys triggers a small explosive inside the safe that destroys the paper inside. The explosive is also automatically triggered if the safe ever gets removed from the player.

Now each team gets ONE of the keys... and once one person gets to own all keys, he can open the safe, take out the piece of paper with the number and withdraw the money. A player who causes a key to be destroyed gets punished, as he has made the game impossible for the others - in that case, the money gets distributed among the other teams.

Which maps to use for that mode? Currently I have set up:

kh_bleach
kh_fragcity
kh_dieselpower
kh_stormkeep
kh_aneurysm
kh_70mm13_10
kh_silvercity
kh_revdm5
kh_oilrig
kh_dusty
kh_runningman

Maps need to be large for this mode...

Maps need to be large for this mode...

In this case s/kh_runningman/kh_runningman_1on1remix

Because it's bigger and better

[morfar]

1on1remix is smaller because of the 2-way teleporter

Well but you can laserjump up the walls unlike the 'normal' runningman map..

[cortez]

ctf_darkzoneBETA3 should be suitable

[divVerent]

Okay, added: throwing of keys (when gibbed or using +use key), but keys are "heavy" (can't be thrown wide)
also, they can be lasered around a bit for fun

throwing a key into void by lasering it however makes YOUR team lose... so be careful

looks great - tested it a bit. but playing with 2 bots against 3 humans isn't much fun

But I say ... great work, keep it up.
