    Greetings fellow Transhuman forum goers. Recently I have been looking/exploring my game folders and I have found maps and stuff for the beta(including war mode) is it just me that has found these? i couldn't even find any threads for anything even remotely similar. However, i tried hosting a server with war mode but the server gui crashes everytime cus theres stuff missing like fog of war or sacks. so i assume these things are unusable? Also sorry if i put this in the wrong place(technically im trying to make a server so i guess it belongs here?). Also sorry if anything I've said comes off to u as stupid/rude/dumb. Any explanation would be helpful thanks. I could upload the stuff in war mode like in base/rules if u guys want. if not the maps are still pretty cool :) Edit- i just found a thread for the war server thing ReEdit- I can't seem to make it work. it says generating map forever and it doesn't even start the map i can still see the map tho. I made fullctf and modified it into war but i couldnt figure out why the thing just say generating map( basically i still need help)

    Hello,

    War mode is pretty old, I don't think it ever came out officially, only the testing group really had a go of it. Take The Halls is essentially replaced War.
    Once we figured out that farming and stuff was tedious and not so fun, the THD guys moved away from that and kind of took some of the ideas from War and made Take The Halls. All the War code is VERY old and probably doesn't work anymore. You could modify the scripts though and make War mode ^^

    Hope this helps bud!


    @@@EDIT:

    You could probably fix it. Look at what scripts are failing and remove them from Gamemode.cfg or re-create them.

    Thanks. I've done alot of fixing but it keeps requesting stuff and i cant delete it i assume it gets what it needs from somewhere else. Also i can just use full ctf and modify it into a war mode essentially right? But when i make the server it doesn't work it says generating map. thanks for your help already and i hope ur ok with my questions.

    But are you trying o host a Classic or a Release server? Iirc Classic "War" was 2 teams starting with no resources, only builders, no building time, no flags, water maps, and tickets.

    Yeah, WAR mode wasn't really played much but this is what was included:
    (1) No Flags, (2) 50 or so lives, (3) Kind of like a TDM, (4) 2 Teams, (5) Consisted of a cavern at the middle?, (6) Unlimited time, (7) Day night cycle.
    Yeah, the mode is just like a team deathmatch.

    This is a time lapse of war the KAG devs posted back in the day:

    It was originally a new mode for Premium players only, those who had bought the game back then, before all the features in Classic went completely free.
