What is this mode?
Most item placements are replaced with various different ?-boxes that must each be attacked to reveal its contents. All players also start with an Energy Balancer and do not need to worry about acquiring it if they die in deathmatch mode. Other modes require players to pick up the Energy Balancer.

These new ?-boxes are

Blue ?-box

(click to show/hide)

(http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8388/screenshotdoom201105091.png)
This common box has a good chance to reveal a health or weapon energy item. Occasionally it can reveal something better but this seems more rare. There's also a chance this will give you nothing.

Red ?-box

(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/8388/screenshotdoom201105091.png)
This uncommon box has a good chance to reveal a useful item that you can use. Beware though, as you can destroy this container to reveal that it was empty.

Green ?-box

(click to show/hide)

(http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/8388/screenshotdoom201105091.png)
This special item can reveal a weapon of some type. These weapons are probably of the same style as the original item in that spot.

Try out your favorite maps with this mode to see what crazy combinations you can come up with! This is a great addition to Chaos and CTF mode or your favorite custom map packs!

ENERGY DUEL and ENERGY DEATHMATCH

<!-- m -->http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/nrgduel-1b.zip (http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/nrgduel-1b.zip)<!-- m -->

(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6513/screenshotdoom201105032.png)

What is it?
This was originally intended to be a Duel mode with less health for faster paced action. It now extends to deathmatch to make use of the Energy Balancer and ?-box game mechanics. It is possible that this mode is still best enjoyed in the Duel format.

(http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6121/screenshotdoom201105090.png)

New changes in version 1b

This mode now applies to deathmatch.
 The following items are now Energy Balancers that respawn: ETank, MTank, Eddie, and ProtoUpgrade.
 RushJet locations have become RushCoil.
 Plant Barrier and Time Stopper will either be an Energy Balancer, Big Health, Big Weapon Energy, or WTank. Whatever it is on the level load will respawn.
 SmallHealth locations have a 40% chance to spawn the health. Health now respawns.
 BigHealth locations have a 25% chance to spawn either a SmallHealth or BigHealth. Health now respawns.
 Dive, Magnet missiles and Skull Barrier placements are replaced by the ?-box from MM3 (see second screenshot). These drop one of either an Energy Balancer, Big Health, WTank, or BigWeaponEnergy with equal probability. Whatever it drops after opening will respawn.

Old patch notes

http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/nrgduel-v1a.zip

This mode makes use of (and includes) the special Energy Balancer item (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2062). This special item is a key aspect of this mode and where the name comes from.

How it works:
[*] Small health pickups have a 50% chance to spawn per item placement and do not respawn.
[*] Big health pickups have a 25% chance to spawn per item placement  and do not respawn.
[*] All EddieSummon, ProtoUpgrade, ETank, and MTank items are now an Energy Balancer. These do not respawn.
[*] RushJet is now RushCoil instead.
[*] If you die while carrying up to 5 WTanks, BeatCall, RushCoil, TangoSummon, or the Energy Balancer these will spawn where you die allowing your opponent to use them.
[*] Weapon energy respawns as usual.

How to run:
Just load the wad in the launcher and run! Make sure to select Duel mode either when configuring a server or doing Offline Skirmish.

This is an alpha release and I'd be interested to hear your comments on issues of balancing and gameplay.

Commentary:
[*] The idea here is to eliminate a bit of the gameplay element often seen in Duels where it becomes a contest of who can grab the most health pickups.
[*] This mod addresses that without removing health completely. Each small and large health having a random chance to spawn ensures that the gameplay experience will continue to be unique and not rely on memorized health locations. Memorizing in this case might help though, since it will still use the same health item placements in existing maps.
[*] It seems frequent that Duel requires the use of a lot more weapons than typical deathmatch or other modes. As such, it is common for a Dueler to run out of ammo. I wanted to see if gameplay would be improved in some way from the addition of the Energy Balancer since it seems like a perfect fit to this situation.
[*] Should healths have a higher or lower spawn rate?
[*] Instead of large healths should it spawn some sphere-type powerup instead at a lower rate?
[*] I want to retain much of the same feel as the original game especially in terms of movement.

Lovely format you have, SSW.

I tested it small scale with a duel of bots of somewhat varying difficultly -- From the weakest, to the Nightmare.
With the use of weapons and energy, the balancer is a perfect fit. I don't have to run around changing weapons of varying damage and tiers to refill my energy.

As for health spawning and non-spawning, I'm not sure. When I tested it witht he help of that naughty cousin of mine, we discovered the flaw that any two people playing in a map that doesn't have a PlantBarrierWep and a good area of Big/Small WepEnergy will be at risk of being "Trolled" by more skilled or less skills players by repetitive use of the same weapons, including and not limited to:

(click to show/hide)

Drill Bomb
Hyper Bomb
Rolling Cutter
Knight Crush
Magnet Missle
Dive Missle
Pharoah Shot [Full Power]
Power Stone[Broken]
Ballade Cracker
Metal Blades
Ice Slasher
Hard Knuckle
Wind Storm
Gravity Hold

All these weapons can end up ruining the duel experience given the situations and circumstances that may lead to the abuse of them. I suggest some form of amending to this, to see if it will fix this problem, as all these weapons can literally sap away health within 10 seconds of skillful use.

On that fact, it'd be normal for a Duel-Fool[Skilled Duelist] to refill and re-engage a target, but in the case they can't find health to do so, they may lose to people more often because of the inconvienence.

I didn't include Star Crash[Hugging], because most of the encounters I've had with that would have to happen at close proximity, and can be survived.

Also, I'm all for that Sphere Power-Up. What will be its use, and how will it be applied?

Post by: SickSadWorld on May 05, 2011, 07:37:26 PM

Hey, thanks for your detailed and well-written comments on this.

The health comments are especially useful. How would you rate these solutions?

1) Health spawns as normal.
2) No health spawns at all.
3) Something else.

On that fact, it'd be normal for a Duel-Fool[Skilled Duelist] to refill and re-engage a target, but in the case they can't find health to do so, they may lose to people more often because of the inconvienence.

This was actually one of the main goals of the mode. If you look at Skulltag/ Doom duel-32 mode for example, you can almost guarantee that both people will die a lot simply because there's not a lot of health around. My goal is to create something faster paced where a fraglimit of 25 is not unreasonable (as opposed to the 5 or 10 we usually see in MM8BDM).

Quote from: "-RanRan"

Also, I'm all for that Sphere Power-Up. What will be its use, and how will it be applied?

It really depends on how the health ideas shake out. My original thought was to give every large health pickup a very small possibility of spawning a sphere/ rune.

The easiest choices for these effects are seen HERE (http://www.skulltag.com/wiki/Spheres)

To summarize:

(click to show/hide)

[*] Quad damage (45 seconds)
[*] Double speed and acceleration (45 seconds)
[*] Stop time (10 seconds)
[*] 90% transparent (invisible) (45 seconds)
[*] Reduce damage taken by 3/4 (45 seconds)
[*] Total invulnerability (30 seconds)
[*] +100 health (up to 200) (one time use)

Something not on this list is also a possibility as long as someone can describe what it should do very specifically. Runes (http://www.skulltag.com/wiki/Runes) as well.

1) Health spawns as normal. Then it'd be Duel Again.
2) No health spawns at all. D@%$, Homie. :>
3) Something else. -RR says Yes.

Oddity: in Darkman's Stage, there were no boxes here. Instead, I saw only the regular items.

Suggestion:
Boobytrap boxes
Color: Purple
Content and chances:
50% Explosion
20% Metool
15% Quickbeam
10% Explosion (With the Wind Storm damage type)
5% A rare item

Feedback: Thumbs up for it!

Hey Batton & Tsuki, thanks for your support!

I think your idea is a really good one. So let's talk about it. I liked everything you mentioned except 2 things. I think I might make the booby trap ?-boxes be the blue type. The reason being that if it's a unique color people might just avoid them. The other thing was the quickbeam, not sure I like that.

How about this (without %)

Napalm explode
Hyper bomb explode
Crash bomb expode
Crystal eye (different color than normal)
Wind storm explode
Metool?
Rare item (what should this be?)

Boobytrap boxes

Content and chances:
50% Explosion I like this, % might need a tweak
20% Metool I like this, % might need a tweak
15% Quickbeam Not sure I like this
10% Explosion (With the Wind Storm damage type) I like this, % might need a tweak

Quick Beam would be VERY assy, to say the least.

"Alright, I just found Gravity Hold and Top Spin! Ooh, hey another blue box--"
SHREEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Well, boobytraps are often odd somehow, as if telling "Look! I'm different! I may have something good or bad!"
I... Don't know if CrystalEye is a good or bad idea.

I tested this a bit myself, while I've isolated myself from Online play to work on the Tournament Map-Pack.

The modes are wonderful now, SSW. :D

As for the ?-Mode, It maybe could use a little bit more tweaks with the %'s. And as for that special box....

Maybe it could drop a rune as a rare item?

Post by: Koal on May 10, 2011, 09:19:26 PM

I really like this mode. It spices deathmatch up a bit to make it tolerable.

And for the trap boxes, how about a chance of a box exploding into a shower of flame blast projectiles?
And also the anti-gravity effect I mentioned were you slowly accend up into the air and get thrown back.
Also the flash stopper on a larger scale that affects everyone.

Title: THIS IS A NECROPOST BURN ME A STAKE
Post by: Tesseractal on November 15, 2011, 07:59:48 AM

This is a highly interesting and underlooked mod! Right now I think it's a bit of a broad scope right now, but it tackles elements of randomness very well. After all - the... "less satisfying" a weapon placement (or item placement) on a map is, the more utility you get out of it. So where's my main dissatisfaction with weapon placement? MMCTF01-07, of course! (Unfortunately, Ivory's weapon placement is already good enough and this mode doesn't change a lot. I GUESS that's a good thing.) Now, you were able to conjure Eddie item rotations for different modes - I think the same can be applicable for Box placement in different modes. If possible, here's the things I'd like to see:

CTF/Possession Mode Red Boxes: Comment out Exit Unit and Treble. (Treble does not work; Exit Unit is a hilarious free point.) Or fix Treble/add Reggae etc.
CTF Mode Green Boxes: Is it possible to make symmetrical green box spawns? Let's say that Rolling Cutter is in the same place on both maps. When it's switched, can it be the *same* weapon in both? (e.g. Rolling Cutter is replaced with Slash Claw on CTF03; it's the same place in both bases.)    If not, you can solve the main problem by removing Hard Knuckle and Charge Kick. I'm dead serious. Nothing gives one side a huge advantage nearly as much as those weapons.

CTF Mode Green Boxes: "Special Group": Comment out Scorch Wheel and Leaf Shield. Mirror, Top, and Gravity (the latter which LOVES showing up in place of Rain Flush) actually seem fairly tolerable, and it's a nice refresh to see in CTF maps. Scorch Wheel no, Leaf Shield DEFINITELY no. Leaf Shield already breaks MMCTF07, and it's not normally in the map! D:

CTF Mode Blue Boxes: Now a lot of these are "blanks" and I understand that reasoning. Is it possible that more of the blanks could show up as wep energy? CTF is different from Duel or DM in that if you have the flag, you often live longer. As such, it's quite a bummer when you can't scrounge up much weapon energy to defend yourself... That seems to be the main problem. Of course it isn't an issue if enough W-tanks show up, but since you can potentially live a long time making use of that E. Balancer could come quite in handy (with more small wep spawns. Not big ones.)

DM/Duel Mode Green Boxes: Now the opposite: is it possible to PREVENT Duplicate (or symmetrical) weapons? When I dueled Obelisk today on MM4DC1, there were *Three* Pharaoh Shot spawns (one of which was the original). Now that's a rarity and all part of the chance, but when you're going for *more* weapons, well... More is better.

DM Mode Red Boxes: This is just for fun, but I'd say you could earn REAL street cred by throwing in the "lost items". I know you've made Item-2, and I'm sure you can find Balloon/Wire/Reggae somewhere.  :p

I agree, this is a very overlooked mod. Unfortunately, I have never seen anyone host this, and consequently, myself and others will never get to play and see for themselves. I'm sure if there was an occasional server of ?Box, it'd grow a bigger fan-base.

Looks like ver H has fixed most of the problems.

Great stuff with Possession mode. I'd recommend anyone wanting to give Possession mode a shot to use this. The board is now shootable after it's been dropped once, regenerates if crushed, and Mike's silly automap script is gone. What's not to like? (You should probably clarify all this somewhere.)

http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/qbox-v2n.zip (http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/qbox-v2n.zip) | File size: 289.82 KB

Qbox Version "v2n" is now live! The code is all available and if you feel like using aspects of it in your projects let me know and we can work some credits thing out.

I realize there's a tournament currently in place based primarily on "v2k". From "v2k" to "v2n" these are the exact differences which may or may not impact the tournament. I don't want to persuade anyone to use a particular version; any of the "v2"x versions are similar enough that it's only a minor change or bugfix between releases.

Version "v2k" added a gravity fix for Eddie who can now properly use stairs. There's no current maps in the core that face the player in a position where they both have Eddie and can use climbable stairs. This exists in the version people are playing the tournament on. New in v2k.
 TrebleSentry now fires between 8-12 shots instead of 18 (as in the core). I changed this because it seemed like people rely on it too heavily because of its combat effectiveness. I want to create some sense of parity between other assist items and this one. This is not in the tournament version but if people agree to using it there shouldn't be a problem upgrading your qbox version. New in v2m. Bugfix for v2n.
 Added 2 secret levels and a secret item. One is a practice/ duel room with mapcode "HOLORM" and the other has the secret item on it with mapcode "FDEST". I recommend Deathmatch, Duel, or LMS for these. They are small-ish and although they have 32 unique dmstarts are probably best for 2-8 people. New in v2L
 PossessionStone bugfix when shot by Treble. New in v2L.

Ask your tournament coordinator what the official stance is on disparity between Qbox versions compared to match history. I've attempted with significant effort to maintain the current balance between Qbox versions but it's ultimately up to you, the players to decide if it suits your needs. My official stance is neither for nor against using v2n over v2k. They are similar enough to where it doesn't really matter; the core item statistics have been unchanged since version v2c.

My guess is you're loading your wads in the wrong order. Make sure you load MM8BDM-v4a.pk3 before you load qbox-v2t.wad (you still have to load MM8BDM-v4a.pk3 even though you're playing with a mod.)

Otherwise, are you loading any other mods along with qbox?

Will this mod v4b compatible?

Yes! Generally speaking, this mod will be compatible with all subdivsions of major version increments (i.e. should be compatible through v4*). The main thing that breaks this mode is the addition of new items and/or weapons. The way the randomness works makes this the case. If you run an old version on a newer engine, the new weapon/item placements just won't be randomized.

Still current through v4c!
