Football game configuration

Post by dukevin »

We are making a football game mode in a server. It is kind of like Ctf but both teams use one flag placed in the middle. Full game description here.

Usually flags are generated with spawn_zone flag name x y ... but can this be done without the name parameter? So both teams share the flag?

Thank you much for your help ^^
Freak Show, the name of our server, is going to have 30 some different game types rotating per round. Our aim is to explore every possibility of armagetron settings. If you have some game suggestions (or a lot), post them here please :) Much appreciated

Thank you much Kyle :]
Also, we are looking for a simple game map+config rotation script where the game mode rotates after each round (just like your crazy tronners). Would you like to give us the source code for rotating game maps :)

Hey, I tried this and it doesn't work. Both teams have fortresses but spawning a zone for no_team just generates a flag for a random team. Can you please verify if no_team is correct? The CrazyTronners Wiki article says you must specify a team name or else it picks the closes target to become a team of.

Also I have tried flag_requires_home on and off with no luck.

you also have to have

Code: Select all

FLAG_TEAM 0
and as for a rotation script, i don't have any simple ones
basically just use ROUND_COMMENCING in ladderlog
also use the settings

Code: Select all

WAIT_FOR_EXTERNAL_SCRIPT  (set to 0 in ROUND_COMMENCING once you change maps)
WAIT_FOR_EXTERNAL_SCRIPT  (set to 1 in NEW_MATCH once round has begun)
WAIT_FOR_EXTERNAL_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT  (change the default turnover time if it takes longer than 3 seconds to execute the ROUND_COMMENCING stuff)

There is already a football-esque mode. It's called chico's styball...

Unless you are talking about gridiron?

Yes I'm talking about American Football with a flag, not a styball :] I don't think it's been done yet.

Does Flag_team 0 and no_team have to be done in the map xml file or can that be done with remote admin?
