Rapid Deathmatch

THIS TIME it's okay I try it and it works fine :D

 

Put another, more funny I guess :P

 

Hey ho again this time I don't really want to post a map but give an idea how to use Rapid Deathmatch in another way called Attack/Defense, which you might know from other games.

It's easy one team got a fortress or something like this and the other team tries to capture it.
After one team won the teams change/map gets flipped!

The attackers should have a hard journey trying to come in but it should also be possible and because you nearly have to kill the hole team in their fortress the defense may reduce their number but not totally kill the enemy team.

I made up a simple example and would like to know what you think about this mode, do you like it or is it just not what you want to see on an Rapid Deathmatch server!?

Example:

 

I like it, maybe the attackers could have some lifes more?

Maybe a bit fancier castle though :P

 

Yeah I think so, too!
Shad had some good ideas but these would require other server settings and that's why it wouldn't work on Rapid Deathmatch I think.

It's no real castle xD
It's only some stone a catapult and some stone-on-ladder traps, to show what I mean with defensive structures.
I hope other people have more and better Ideas! xD

But you're right!

 

Here: Contrary's maps "Catacombs" and "Oldland" with fixed trees :)

And my Map "Goldrush" with slight fixes (In the current version the tunnel is blocked)

I still think the spawns and the sky should be higher :f

 

Map Updates again. Special thanks to Wyeth for trees and naming Oldland.

Taking out the center mound clearly wasn't enough for the pit map. Most games would occur like this: everyone runs out staying on the top. Half of each team gets blown up by bombs. One of the teams would cower in the spawn and the other team would glide over, completely disregarding the main part of the map. Having to go down and then attack the enemy's position from below is probably inherently bad design, but I wouldn't like to see this map scrapped just yet. I widened the middle considerably and added a tiny little platform to vary fighting more. The pits are also bigger. Maybe eventually this map will be played like I intended lol.

Didn't change much on the other map I don't think. Fixed a little part bit near the right spawn but not much.

 

No idea how to make maps... but i'd make one full of tunnels and no sky to see how that one goes... but who knows if someone wants to teach me sometime... or write a tutorial on the file conversions and whatnot i'd be glad to make one.

 

I think the server needs a restart or something, these 2 players lagged out and they haven't been removed from the scoreboards. The server shows 1 player online from the server select list, but when I enter the game, nobody is there.

 

I just went on the server and tried to kick them out. Doesn't work... Shadlington will do something about it once he comes on I am sure.
The one guy since left, the other guys name is crywilliam

 

A little map you may like but idk.

Yoda.

 

I think 20 people for the server is a bit too much. Usually it gets to a knight bomb spam, and team who spammed more efficiently, wins the round. One issue is that all the maps are very small.

12 would be good, imo.

 

I agree, I think 12 would be ideal. Bu still, a lot of the maps are way too small even for that.

 

I agree you two, I played a short time with 20 people and it sucked but there are also to many people who want to play on this server... best way would probably be a 2nd server but I don't know.

 

Even more reason why there needs to be reserved slots.

 

+1 for everyone (y)

 

Really do love this server, we made the sky bridge fall and it glitched the map, is there a specific dimension you want? I'd love to contribute.
