Moving zones

Hi

last days i was trying to create my own maps.
i read the tutorial i made some simple maps.
but on several servers i saw things that i cannot do in my maps.
i mean: car shotting when breaking, moving dead zones, zones which appear after some time, configuration of map which is changing during round, car teleportation etc.
how can i made those things in my maps ?

Those features are not available in our core version, you'll need to apply a server side patch before they become available. Here are links to threads about the two and a half patches I know about:
http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?t=3183 (shooting only, as far as I can tell)
http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?t=8011 (shooting+CTF+Ball)
http://crazy-tronners.com/viewtopic.php?t=1146 (long thread, the moving/teleporting sumo thing was done with the changes discussed there)

Be warned that this is somehow complicated material. You first need to learn how to compile the server from source (discussed on the wiki) and find the correct base source version to apply the patch to (the patch docs should tell you which version you need).

No, they only work with various stages of the 0.2.8 branch, check the patch in question for details.

Possibly already in 0.3.1

We can't say yet in what extent they will be compatible with older clients, though.

Follow this thread for a link to our hacked source, this will allow all the things you mentioned, although probably not as you imagined

:

We have no patch at the moment, just our hacked sources which contain many bugs and unfinished bits and pieces. But also does all sorts of wonderful things with zones

Maybe one day we'll tidy the whole lot up and create a patch for 0.2.8.3.

edit: you're better off following z-mans link: http://crazy-tronners.com/viewtopic.php?t=1146
That source code is more up to date.
