Title: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode (PLAYTESTERS NEEDED)
Post by: Atticus on March 18, 2012, 07:41:18 PM
So here's a mode that could be really fun: Dodgeball mode. It works like this.

It would be set in TLMS. Each team has a maximum of 5 players (for a server total of 10) At the start, each team starts out with 2 balls. Each player has no weapons, but upon picking up a ball (it would be like a weapon pickup), the player switches to the dodgeball weapon. An icon would be put over a person who has the ball to tell the other team who has it. When thrown, the ball travels moderately fast (there needs to be enough time for the opposite team to react), is affected by gravity (bounces like Napalm bombs), and if it hits someone, they're out (it's an OHKO weapon, but not a ripper). When it hits a wall or a player, the ball drops to the ground to become a pickup again. Games would be played on courts. It basically consists of 2 platforms. Here's an example, the Cut Man court.
(click to show/hide)
Cut Man's court would be the most basic, just for regular dodgeball. But I want at least 3 courts at release time. Each court could have gimmicks to them. A Fire Man court could have Fire Traps that appear on random planes of the court that do damage (health is still normal) and impede vision if you're behind it and decrease your movement area if you're in front of it. A Dive Man court could have Moby occasionally go by and block shots.

So I need some mapmakers just for the more complex coding parts of the courts and weapon makers to make the dodgeball weapon itself. Let's hope this project succeeds! :D

This could actually work well with some of my classic warfare maps.  Sky High Platforms would work well for this mode.  During some free time between making Skull MI and Toad MI I'll make a map to contribute.

The ball could even make the player get knocked right back and off the stage when they get hit. I know how you could do that (always going in one direction, not using the recoil thing). The only problem is it might not be good if you want a wall at the back, so probably not.

I could imagine some great courts too, with walls going in and out of the ground and stuff. Possibly some with long distant views of current maps too!
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on March 18, 2012, 09:01:59 PM
Well in just trying to make it like real dodgeball, it should just be a ohko weapon. You can't leave the court, like real dodgeball (the linedefs are impassable anyway)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on March 18, 2012, 09:05:16 PM
It would still instant kill you. The flying off the court and into spikes/pit/lava etc. is just for added comedy effect. Would come with many possibly gameplay problems though.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

Just a simple map for now.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: xColdxFusionx on March 20, 2012, 01:31:26 AM
My only suggestion is that you should make the divisions more visible. Perhaps in Cutman's stage you could have a white line between the platforms instead of a pit, and the river in Woodman could run in the crack between the platforms?
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: fortegigasgospel on March 20, 2012, 01:40:38 AM
Yea I could make that change easily. Hell doing it right now. I'll get a few more maps before I send anything in.

That is great! Keep up the good work!

So... anyone feel like contributing a dodgeball weapon? I can't code weapons for my life.

Oh, and I can send you the Cut Man court wad if you wanna make edits to it (because I bet it can be better than what I've done)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

Post by: Atticus on March 20, 2012, 02:16:57 AM
I dunno, but I don't even know why I said that cuz I can't send till the weekend anyway. xD

So maybe sometime I'll start on a Dive Man court or something if I can figure out how to get the underwater gravity and if I can get Moby to stay in that little trench in the middle (can he go through impassible linedefs? Or do I have to set something else?)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: fortegigasgospel on March 20, 2012, 02:32:53 AM
Btw, use CTF spawn points for your teams and put this into the script location
Code: [Select]
#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 OPEN
{
ConsoleCommand("SV_UseTeamStartsindm 1");
}also remember to have at least 1 Deathmatch spawn or it will always play the game in CTF. Doing that will make sure the red and blue teams are always on the correct sides.

as for underwater, gotten from Dive's mapinfo, put this into the mapinfo for it
Code: [Select]
aircontrol = 0.45
forcenoskystretch
par = 4
gravity = 200
As for Moby, check the script for Dive's map.

Post by: TeirusuNuigurumi on March 21, 2012, 12:21:22 AM
you should totally make players able to catch balls

i like this idea.
though if you plan to make a map with a lot of holes or a map in the air (like gyro), make sure when balls land they don't go off the edge.
this is just a thought but...

gutsman court- make mets appear randomly that block shots.

The holes in the front of your team's side drop you down onto the blocks for higher ground, but you can't see as much of the opponent's side.

Alright, thanks for the contributions. Can you pm me the wads when they're done?

Y'know, the Rebound Striker sprites idea isn't bad. But I still need someone to code the weapon, unless I wanna rip off the rebound striker from the MM8-10 weapons pack and make it instakill.

You'd still need permission from Lego to do that. Also rebound striker bounces a lot of times before it goes away.
As for now maybe resprite the Istagib Metal Blades and remove the ripping.  Basicly how it will be working minus the dropping and the gravity effect.

As for finishing I just need to do the low grav of the water in Centaur's and they are done.  Problem is getting that to work.

So what should the basic makeup of a dodgeball court be? Cuz I may try my hand at one of these.

Also, couldn't you tweak Mr. X's snowball weapon? (with his permission, of course)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on April 19, 2012, 10:03:52 PM
Thanks forte. I'll see if I can put a spark back in this project since that snowball edit idea sounds good.

For layouts, maps need to be wide enough for 5 players. Needs to have 2 team sides with 5 spawns each. Divide the sides in some way and make the linedefs impassible.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

At least it's a RESPONSE.

Anyways, here's my not-so-much progress on the Heatman stage.

(click to show/hide)

Might I also ask if the outer boundaries should be impassable or fall-off-and-die?
Should it be a bigger stage?
Concerns? Suggestions? You know the drill.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on April 20, 2012, 10:45:04 PM
The stage looks good. The linedefs should be impassible. And do those yoku blocks float there or do they actually appear and disappear?

Michael, YES YES YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES do the weapon. One idea I had was not making the balls bounce and stop and stuff, but rather they dissapear when they hit something and have ammo spawns on the map that bring new balls back but can't be picked up till you throw yours. But if your idea is better, go for it.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: TheDoc on April 20, 2012, 10:47:58 PM
No. just like in MM2, those kind of blocks are always there. I could do yoku blocks, but I don't see where or why. Also, I was really pondering about this: does the stage need to be bigger?
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on April 20, 2012, 10:49:59 PM
If anything, it's a little too wide. Shrink it just a bit horizontally.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: xColdxFusionx on April 20, 2012, 10:55:32 PM
I think the weapon should be this:

Mainfire: If you're holding a ball, throw it. The ball bounces of floors and walls a few times before stopping and becoming an "ammo" ball. If it lands out-of-bounds, it disappears and respawns as an "ammo" ball on the side it went off on. If you're not holding a ball, hold up your hands to catch. If you successfully catch a ball, you gain the ball to throw.
Altfire: If you're holding a ball, drop it. If you're not, you dive in the direction you're moving (similar to FiniteZero's altfire in CSCC).

Thoughts?

Why not use the Rebound Striker sprite? For the moment, at least. As for a court, I believe I can make one since it looks really easy and fun to make.

Not bad sir. Not bad at all. But it kinda reminds me of the Crystal Man court that Fortegigas sent me.

While I like all these designs, I'd like to see some stages with a real good gimmick to it. Not to say all these maps that people have been making are bad, oh no, all of them are great, but I'd like to see one that has an awesome feature to it. Like the Bright Man idea that I posted.

Some ideas:
Shade Man with Kyorowns littering the field.
The Fire Man idea that's on the first post.
Air Man with those fan guys that push you.
Slash Man with an occassional stampede of dinosaurs.
Quick Man with lazorz.
Flame Man with oil pits that occassionally light up and kill,
Turbo Man with roaders that sometimes go by.
etc

Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on April 21, 2012, 01:12:48 AM
No one should be able to get on it. It should be high above and shootable. To look even cooler, make the sides have something like a bar texture but shots go through them.

For Heat, you could make tellies go by that block shots. Or random yoku blocks appear near the divider that can be stood on but block shots.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on April 21, 2012, 02:53:42 PM
Try using the +REFLECTIVE flag. If you're trying to make the ball bounce off it, that might work.

Starting to code up the dodgeball now. I'll make the HUD colours match the team colours to make it more fun.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on April 21, 2012, 03:13:11 PM
It makes the actor solid, such as item 1 and other players. The radius and the height determine how big the solid bit is (if it's a projectile, that'll be it's hitbox).

Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: TheDoc on April 21, 2012, 08:05:31 PM
If an actor were a PROJECTILE and you made it +REFLECTIVE, would it still be able to reflect shots compared to a non-projectile? Because the Telly is considered a projectile.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on April 21, 2012, 08:29:39 PM
If a projectile is reflective, then it will reflect other shots unless it has the DONTREFLECT flag (or something similar to that. The dodgeball weapon wont have any of those flags so it will bounce back normally like how it should do.

Here's the list of other actor/projectile flags (http://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_flags), just in case you need any of them.

Obviously keep the gimmick from Gravity's map as I did with Crystal and Centaur, and Doc added to Heat, so the swapping gravity.  Maybe the gravity generator things separating parts of the side for cover and higher elevations accessible when the grav is low.

I don't think you'd be able to do that until the dodgeball weapon has been made, though. After it's done, then you do to the weapon the same thing that happens to the players on Gravityman's stage in vanilla MM8BDM? Not like I'd be able to/be interested enough to do that, but do ya see what I'm saying?

I'd like to announce that the Brightman stage is going well. It's just that 300 Wattons and Domphans were programmed to go left after spawning, so they're being real pains in the ass.

So I tried to compile all the current maps into a single wad. I went into their mapinfos and changed some of the names and map codes to make things and little more uniform. Didn't touch any code or anything. Loaded it, went to console, typed "map MMDBCEN"

No map found.

Dafuq.

The only way they work is if I load the original, raw wads individually. How do I fix this?

I want it for Shade Man. But before that, when I load the wad, it tells me "THINGS could not be found in shadedodge.wad". And the maps still don't show up when I compile. I went to the builder and changed everything but it still doesn't work.

Well....and I'm no expert here...did you check to see if there's even a "THINGS" lump in the wad?

For the skybox, you could easily copy and paste the skybox from the deathmatch stage into yours.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Knux on April 26, 2012, 11:09:45 PM
That Bright Man court has a nice idea, but I say it could use more work on the texture alignment. There's also no point in making everything dark since you can't fall off and there is no cover anyway.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: TheDoc on April 26, 2012, 11:50:49 PM
I see what you mean about the texture alignment, but I'll probably keep the idea of the lights going off since that's the stage's unique part of it. Do you suggest blocks to jump on or maybe a big step next to the divider or what? I'm thinking maybe of a low wall near the divider. I think cover would be great idea, though.

Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Knux on May 05, 2012, 04:43:47 AM
To make a skybox:

- Make sure that the sector ceilings/floors where you want the skybox's content showing up have the F_SKY1 texture.
- Make a sector outside of the map with the stuff you want showing were the F_SKY1 texture or a line horizon (Action 9) was placed.
- In this sector, place a Skybox Viewpoint thing located in Cameras and Interpolation. You might want to raise it's Z Height and/or change it's direction to adjust how everything in the skybox will look in the map.
- Go test your map to make sure that everything looks right.

If you still don't get it, ask again or open a map with a skybox on DB2.

set all walls you want to show the sky box to action 9 - Line Horizon. It basically makes the wall invisible and the ceiling and floor seem to go off into the horizon.

Good.

If that ammo pickup thing you say isn't working, you could look at some of the code for Junk Man's junk throw weapon in classes, since the DB wep and Junkmans wep have similar logic behind them (throw projectile, hits something, becomes ammo)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on May 13, 2012, 04:06:56 PM
It's okay, I've fixed that now. All that needs doing now is fixing up the ammo bar making the weapon giver work. (I'm using a system where the map will give all players an item that gives them either a blue or red hud, depending on which team their in, it'll be clear once you see it)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode

Keep on working. Once it works and I get a few testers together to test the mode completely, we may just be ready for release. We have enough courts so hopefully this will be soon.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on May 20, 2012, 12:21:23 PM
Nearly done with the dodgeball weapon, but 2 things are holding it back:

1) I can't make the empty ammo bar transparent. In other words, it's always showing an ugly back rectangle around the bar no matter what I do. Not sure if it's because there has to be something for the empty ammo bar or what, as that's currently all transparent. Right now the ammo bar is a stack of dodgeballs on the left of the health bar that shows how many you're holding, although I might have to resort to using the traditional bar instead.

2) The HUD for the blue weapon arm is being a real derp. Even when I save it correctly and it shows correctly in SlumpEd, it shows completely wrong in game, and after I reload SlumpEd it shows how it is in the game and not how I saved it. I think this is something that only I can (eventually) solve.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on May 20, 2012, 06:20:53 PM
1. The ammo bar doesn't have to be special considering it only gets one shot. If all else fails, use traditional.

2. Uhh not sure what to say here. If you think you can eventually solve, then just keep testing it.

Well I was actually going to make the dodgeball weapon hold up to 6, as from my experience you can hold multiple dodgeballs when playing, just as long as you can hold them. (Although that does give me an idea of the player being slower if they are holding more dodgeballs....)
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on May 20, 2012, 08:19:15 PM
Well remember that there's going to be 5 people a team, so if everyone has 6, 30 dodgeballs flying at 1 team doesn't sound fun. Each team should only get a maximum 2 balls.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on May 20, 2012, 08:53:18 PM
Well I was thinking that the map could have about 5 or 6 dodgeballs actually. But eh, 6 may be too much. Maybe 3 or 4 maximum, slowing the player down with more balls collected.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on May 20, 2012, 09:06:28 PM
Just keep the game balance in mind. Stocking up balls would be very cheap the game would become team-that-can-hoard-all-the-balls-wins thing. 2 per team, max of 4 on a total court, player gets only 1. That would be the most balanced way.

And on the weapon, can you add a little arrow above someone's head when they hold the weapon just to indicate who has it? Or maybe a color change or something?
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: -FiniteZero- on May 20, 2012, 09:38:16 PM
Another thing...

When you don't have the ball, you should have a weapon that you can use to catch the ball, but you can't hold it down, you have to actually press it with good timing. And when you have the ball, maybe you could do something similar where the Alt would hold up the ball you're holding so you can block a thrown ball. That alt would last as long as the catching wep.

So I've compiled all the courts into a pk3 and it all looks good. All we need is the weapon and we'll be good to go.

The one thing I'm just concerned is making it so you can't switch weapons to all the things you are given since it is tlms.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on June 04, 2012, 04:28:55 PM
K, I've done the weapon.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/weoh7x (http://www.sendspace.com/file/weoh7x)

At the moment it doesn't have catch or an icon to show who has a ball, but if you really want that I could probably do something like that in future.

In the maps, you need to put a few dodgeballs in the middle. I'd suggest about 4-6, but that's your choice. To do this, place "DodgeBallPickup" in the maps (thing number 31452). Players have to go grab the balls as they do not start with any.

For each map, you need to add this script. (It may not be functional, as I haven't actually tested it yet. It should work though)
(click to show/hide)
This code should take away whatever you happen to have in your inventory and give you "DodgeBallWepGiver", which gives players the dodgeball weapon that matches their team colour. This was just taken from something else I made, not sure if there's a simple ClearInventory technique or something. Make sure you compile the script!.

Feel free to adjust the speed and bounce amount of the weapon if you feel the need to!

Everything else should be in the weapon file. Copy and paste it all in.

Just a few questions (bear with me since I don't code ha)

1. What does compiling scripts mean?

2. How do I get it into doom builder so I can put it into the maps.
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Gummywormz on June 04, 2012, 10:35:51 PM
When you open a map in Doom Builder, there should be a paper icon. Click it and paste the script in. Then click on the ligntning bolt on the far right side. Below is a significantly cleaned up script of michael712's version. (You could also just remove the lms randomizer from the game.)

Post by: Atticus on June 04, 2012, 11:08:38 PM
Double edit: Kinda confused, so I have a map open, I put the script in, compiled it, all good. So should I do something with the pk3? Do I edit something or add something?

Or do I put spawns down and then just load the game with the pk3?
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: BiscuitSlash on June 05, 2012, 03:40:23 PM
If it was me I'd place 'things' in the map with ThingID being 31452. When you play it in doom builder they will show up as <!> but when you load it with the .pk3 that has the weapon and all the maps it will be a collectible dodgeball. (You'll need to do it this way to even have the weapon)

Basically:
1) Places things with ThingID being 31452 in the places of the map where you want the dodgeballs to be
2) Put the saved map in the .pk3 with everything in it
3) Load it up normally and it should work
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode
Post by: Atticus on June 05, 2012, 10:22:05 PM

Ok so there's a problem. When I apply the stuff, either 1 of 2 things happen.

1. The dodgeballs all spawn, but you don't have the weapon and you have a Mega Buster and can't switch

2. You are given the weapon, but no dodgeballs spawn.

Here's pictures of the code. Tell me if anything looks wrong.

I needed to put the dodgeball weapon in all the maps, compile everything into one pk3, and bang, it would be done, and at that I don't even know if the weapon is even functional. I just don't know how to, I'm really bad at coding and scripts and stuff.

If it works for everyone, I'll make a server tonight and PM everyone the WAD. We'll play a couple rounds and see what works and what doesn't.

He pm'd me about it

Donutyoshi, if anyone has to drop out or doesn't make it, sure, you can test. But the list is full for the moment

I think I'm going to put the server up in about an hour. Everyone stay tuned for updates

Question, did i replace Servbot for playtesting? Or did someone already PM you to take his spot?
Title: Re: [GAME MODE] Dodgeball mode (PLAYTESTERS NEEDED)
Post by: Atticus on March 16, 2013, 08:35:21 PM
Servbot is still testing last I checked. You and donutyoshi are on the waiting list at this point

This post disagrees with you... so does this mean I'm in or not? (Don't take that in as being rude, you really can't tell on the internet as we have no tone in writing other than giant bold letters.)

Oh nuts, I forgot haha. But what happened was a guy had pm'd me asking for a spot earlier so I put him in place of servbot

Notably, that whole "you can never win the game" problem. That seems pretty big.

Don't expect a lot of cleaning up, just a few quick fixes here and there to get this thing working 100%.

If you add
Code: [Select]
script # OPEN
{
ConsoleCommand("SV_UseTeamStartsindm 1");
}To all of the maps you can use CTF spawns in Team Deathmatch and LMS, this should maybe help fix an issue?

Oh blah,  I had ACS to fix that in the general acs, but I realized I wrote it incorrectly.  I'll send the fix to Atticus.
