Bug in fortress code?

[gnorty]

I have been trying to bastardise fortresses to simulate a 1 team killzone and it doesn't work as expected. I think it is maybe a bug, or maybe I am misunderstanding the fortress workings, or maybe it just doesnt work because fortresses are not meant to be used this way

here are my settings:-

FORTRESS_CONQUEST_RATE 0
FORTRESS_DEFEND_RATE -1000
FORTRESS_CONQUEST_DECAY_RATE .1

FORTRESS_CONQUERED_SCORE 0
FORTRESS_CONQUERED_WIN 0
FORTRESS_SURVIVE_WIN 0

FORTRESS_CONQUERED_KILL_MIN 1
FORTRESS_CONQUERED_KILL_RATIO 1

intended bahaviour is that if a team member of the blue team goes into the blue fort, the fort collapses immediately and dies. Unfortunately too many times the fort collapses and the player survives. Hopefully it is something I missed,

That was a hack (well, not really a hack) introduced to make Sumo work the way it was desired. If no enemy has ever touched a fortress zone, or the last enemy that did is already dead, the collapse does not kill anyone. We could hack it up some more and read the server admin's mind; with negative defense rate, certainly you want the collapse to always kill.

thanks for that. maybe I can now hack the map a little to ensure that all forts are touched by enemies first

or maybe change the gameplay so the enemy have to "enable" the zone first

As long as I have a logical reason for the apparent randomness of the killings, I am happy for now
