Re: Arena Level

Jon God's solution sounds a bit simpler -_-

And anyways, myplea is assuming everyone will be behind the carrier chasing, there will be plenty of people in front to stop him and knock him down. Anyways, in any game you've ever played that has CTF, the carrier is supposed to "run away from a fight" and that's where the team comes in.

Anyways, maybe a bit small for CTF, but with enough people or AI, it would certainly be a short run, but enough people to stop you. Either way, I didn't mean to make it officially CTF, but it just seems like a good map to test the various scripts on

Re: Arena Level

Jon: Go to IGMD/arena folder and open the file arena_rand.bsl in a text editor

In the section:
################ Arena of Hurt.
    if(arena_area eq 0) {
        if(ai_team eq Konoko) {
            if(rand_flag1 eq  0)
                             {chr_teleport(ai_name,   1); chr_facetoflag(ai_name,   1);}

change the flag number to either 5, 6, 7 or 8 do the same for the rest of the lines and also for the Syndicate section.

This will spawn all the AI's on the catwalks :-)

Re: Arena Level

What about a kind of 'Survive with the flag' (name pending) game, where a player should keep the flag, avoiding being knocked down and disarmed, for some time, like a minute or so? (A bit like king of the hill, but without the hill tongue ). It could work quite well on this map big_smile

Re: Arena Level

Like Halo's "Oddball" or if you're playing IRL "Keepaway"... yeah it would work, just make a gun model as a flag, or whatever you wanna make it, and make it unholsterable like Barabas's gun, and all you'd have to do is set the team of the person carrying the flag seperate from everyone else

if (ai_name has_the_flag eq 1)
{
chr_setteam ai_name Syndicate
}

if (ai_name has_the_flag eq 0)
if (ai_name team = Syndicate)
{
chr_setteam ai_name TCTF

that's obviously not very right, I don't know how to do some of those functions but I'm sure it's easy stuff for one of the more experienced scripters. Add a countdown timer too, so you have to hold the flag for X amount of time (1 minute?).  I'm not sure how balanced it would be, for a player vs. AI it would be pretty easy to simply run around and them not being able to catch you, even if you were running and they were dashing, however on MP, the carrier would have to have daodan power.

Re: Arena Level

The AI is good enough to catch you if they are dashing and you are not.

Re: Arena Level

Well with pathfinding it isn't... if there's a ramp, you can just jump on and off the ramp and they gotta go around and up the ramp or down the ramp to catch you. On flat ground I wouldn't argue, but they usually don't make a habit of jumping off things or onto things

Re: Arena Level

Maybe it'd be best in MP so we could have some really epic chases.
But it could be quite fun with enough NPC's. (With 'enough' I mean that there should be a lot of them to give a proper challenge for the human player)
And yes, I noticed the similarity of this with Oddball big_smile

No pressure Gumby big_smile

No, I'm kidding, take your time, we all are aware you are only human, and have something resembling a life like most of the rest of us. On the bright side, you can leave planning MP content to us to a certain extent :-/

Re: Arena Level

I know this thread is a bit old, but if you guys are still interested, I could change the arena scripts to make a kind of "king of the hill"... I know you could make it, but if you don't have time, I would consider this my first "important work" ^^
I can see clearly the changes... I tried to make some arena-like scripts before and I have experience with scripts, and I'm a bit good with BSL, but I can learn fast XD

Well, just if you need it... Maybe I could make something like this and release independently...

Re: Arena Level

Going over it in my head, it seems doable, and pretty easily, especially with the ready-made arena script. Many such ideas have been put forth, and it would be nice to see one or two of them realized.

Re: Arena Level

All you have to do is modify the BINACHAR with the new characters :-)

I'm sure Oni Zen Garden can work with this level, probably need to change the flag ID.

Re: Arena Level

Is there any way to make a package of just the level and not include OTA?  I know that involves both BSL and some ONIs, but I'm not sure which.

For now I'll just try and figure it out but I'd appreciate some input.  smile  (I'm trying to port my OZG script into this level and I don't want it to conflict.)

UPDATE:  I failed at figuring it out.  Even when I take all the BSLs out it still does the OTA stuff for some reason.

Re: Arena Level

Leus: In the package there is a folder called BSL, delete it.  Then in the Mod_info.cfg file, delete the line HasBsl -> Addon
Finally, re-install using AE Installer, now you will have the Arena level without the OTA scripts.

Be sure to put your OZG scripts inside the IGMD/arena folder

Re: Arena Level

I made a separate package with no BSL folder and deleted the HasBSLs line.  I also made ANOTHER package with only my OZG scripts for the arena.  And it still is acting like OTA, except with my OZG BINACHAR they just appear in the middle of nowhere and die instantly.

Re: Arena Level

What location are you spawning the characters?  To be in the center it is 0 15 0, if you spawn them at 0 0 0 they will appear below the arena and fall...

Re: Arena Level

I know they're set up to spawn outside the arena, that's not the problem I'm having.  The OTA scripts just won't go away.  Can somebody make a package with JUST the basic Arena level?

(BTW these are the locs I'll be using eventually:

260.0 45.0 0.0

0.0 45.0 260.0

-260.0 45.0 0.0

0.0 45.0 -260.0)

Also I have another question:  In the AE, let's say two packages contain conflicting ONIs for a certain level.  With custom levels, this is bound to happen.  Do the earlier or later numbered packages take precedence?
