    This is a simple edit, the colors and all of that were not touched by me, they were already ingame. This is basically Duel/RDM edited for 5 teams, there is nothing special about this, but feel free to check it out to see how 5 teams are added and how it works.

    Either put it in Base/Rules/FFA or rename the appropriate files. Team color files have no bearing at all on the actual color they will come out to. There is not necessarily a limit of 5 teams, it is simply what I tested, you could copy team5.cfg and rename it team6.cfg, add it in gamemode.cfg as a reference up top and you will have another team. I have not tested how far it goes.

    Who 'wins' is extremely broken. Currently the highest number team automatically wins unless they were the ones to lose all their lives first.

    Gold wins if Blue or Red or Purple or Green all die.
    Purple wins if Gold all die.
    No one else ever wins.

    Therefore this is mostly a proof of concept, feel free to change to play around yourself.

    Clarification as I've heard it: I'm not a 'genius' for making this, I didn't make anything, I added more teams to test, it worked, I was happy, it was fun.

    I played this a few days ago. ( Strange since you uploaded this today. :p) But to be honest, it wasnt fun. It was 1 vs 1 vs 2 vs 2 vs 6.

    Could be, but what i was trying to say is that the teams were very unbalanced. Maybe turn some auto balance on? I know its annoying when it swaps you, but better as 1 vs 6.

    But yeah, the ganging up was pretty bad, I had to start swapping their teams for them, because they wouldn't listen.

    It was already on it, and I'm pretty sure luigi wants to be able to place spawns for the new teams before he hosts it again.
    When we can set the spawns, we're thinking of a 5-team gold hunt mode ;)

    That sounds cool, a gold rush match between 5 teams. I would like to try that. :D

    Yea, right now all extra teams spawn in the middle as teams without a tent do. Also if I turn on autobalance, it works but... it makes switching teams a bit hard, I will try it witha longer suicide time and see how it works out -as well as making lives unlimited since it seems that does not matter, you cannot win properly this way-

    Oh wow, I never really considered a gamemode like this. The possibilities!

    I'd love to see squad matches; teams of 2. This way the majority of players would have to defend from both sides. Hopefully we get better rules config support in the next build or so.

    I'm sad, I looked and it wasn't up, wanted to see the colors
    It sounds like you could host a 3 team map pretty easy though

    Since other teams don't get spawn tents there isn't a good way. Map structure would fix it slightly. A giant mountain in the middle. But every team but blue and red would spawn on the mtn. Outposts are good

    I dunno, you could just have it so that everyone spawns atop a mountain, or something. Could make a FFA map which takes place on top of a roof?
