Gg dm ffa

[ZERO]

I have begun tonight the first test of a GG DM FFA server. Expect first private tests to be out next week. Currently I am testing on my local system only to get the basic feel that I want using bots to tune everything. We will then preform private testing something next week on the real server.

So far here are the features I am thinking (some have not been tested or developed yet, others have)

• 4 levels per weapon
• same level order as existing gg server
• only 1 kill for knife and nade
• 10-15 second respawn time
• gain 25hp per kill (can not exceed 100hp) (not developed or tested yet)
• bonus (ie over 100hp or armor or something) for 4 kills without death lets say additional 25hp award for a max health of 125 (does not stack) (not tested or developed)
• 1 common skin for all players (not implemented or tested)
• infinite round
• Auto random team (not implemented or tested)
• Automated balancing, needed to make scoreboard easier to read (not implemented or tested)

So far from my initial tests it is a real blast. I thought that fy_complex would work but it does not have good DM spawns. So instead aim_ag_texture_city_advanced will be the default map, I am sure many will be happy about that...

So what do you all think of the feature list? The health gain is something I will need to develop on my own but I think it is the key along with about 15 sec respawn times to make the FFA aspect of this work without being too crazy. When I tested in a server with bots it was a blast with 10 second respawns but 50% of the bots do not shoot me b/c they think I am on their team. The health regen and longer respawn I think will be the key tools to prevent a spawn spray spawn spray cycle. The FFA aspect will not be fun unless players are able to move around a bit and have survivability. The health regen should address this and I think the lack of such a feature is what has prevented GG DM FFA from being attempted or working on past servers.

I am well aware that GG DM FFA is very rare; however, I believe that together we can find a way to implement these 3 game modes together in ways not previously done to create a fun a unique experience which will being the fastest and most intense CS:S experience physically possible.

I'm excited for this.

Hilariously, I was just complaining about the ADD inducing experience that is GG DM. But hey, another server added to the fold for another viable play option? Hell yes!

Happy to help test! Especially if I can help test by killing Pat.

I'm testing. I live for fast paced shit this sounds like the fastest of them all.

i would love to help test this.

i'll try to find some maps that might work well for it too.

OK so far so good, I think the dynamic respawn based off player count will be critical. This makes it so that respawn length makes sense in large games but scales properly with small games so the action is always intense.

All basic required programing has been completed. Now I just need to start getting maps together and expand from there. Also be sure to vote on what model option you guys want: http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/sho...-for-GG-DM-FFA

are we looking for random-spawn maps, or do we have the ability to mess with the spawns and make them random if they aren't otherwise?

Ideally random spawn ones but you can make them random using this format:
