The Waste Kind - A CTF-like mod with custom visuals, maps and a cover system

Attaching the modifications merser did months ago. It might crash or not always spawn the character properly. Also it's not updated. It contains a machine gun and a shotgun.

 

State of things:
At this moment I'm working on balancing the maps and changing a bit the behaviour of the arrows and the character. Moreover, the mod will probably benefit from the work @Osmal has been doing for his own mods: it might get some kind of throwable explosive or item.
I'm re-thinking cosmetical things as sounds and visuals too.

 

Thanks for thte feedback, most of us agree that the mod is fun but incomplete.

Regarding the suggestitons:

Spoiler

- Rolling could be a thing, perhaps dashing could make your hitbox smaller as when crouching, and trigger a roll animation.
- Grenades: I've been trying to add bombs, to be spawned at an item-spawner blob from time to time on strategical spots, unsuccessfully. Problem is surely easy to solve: explosives shouldn't damage the map but I haven't yet fugured how to.
- More flags: perhaps could be good, it would be less different than KAG too. The way Soldat deals with it is once you capture a flag it respawn, and rounds end after 10-15 minutes or after 8 flag captures iirc; 2 flags could fit at some maps, and it adds some dramatic moments.
- Bullet visibility, I added a crappy fire trail in the bullet sprite sheet itself. A system of particles, or a trail as in Aphelion's Future Wars could work good.

and bugs:

Spoiler

- The rolling > somehow I see players like to face those small obstacles, this kind of obstacle saving seems to be very attractive. From my side I can't do much about it, I get lost with code at that level,
- I've removed all the platforms from maps, they were too fishy. Both small openings and window-doors should be enough for shooting nests.
- I can't say much about the flag thing
- Coins, not used, but still in the game. The dash bar covers it, it shouldn't be hard to remove the coin system

 

I'm on it. It's got plenty of stuff, the one I used will be more readable.

To spawn grenades or sticky grenades, use !nade and !stickynade

 

Hey the map looks good and creative eventhough it's a simple idea!

I had to tweak it a bit: added some background dirt to add support at most of the tiles (sometimes custom background tiles just collapse and fall, just because), and also made two openings around the mid of the map so you can go up and down at at least 5 points (spawns, mid, and 2 new holes). Notice the last tile of backdirt is blank. It's the one that has sky at 3 sides and something else at 1 side. I did it for putting vanilla weight support at some conflictive areas.

The flag position should be changed perhaps too. I'll add the map in the next update.

 

wow..., the map is just, amazing.
I've also tweaked it a bit, but nothing big. Will be in the next update too!
