If you can get a working KotH mode up and running, I may recreate a couple of KotH maps from TF2 for this. Nucleus and Sawmill comes to mind.

You're gonna need someone who knows a lot of ACS/Decorate and who is willing to put up with you at first though.

[Shade Guy]

You are gonna need a crapload of bridges if you want to recreate Nucleus.

Also, when I thought about a King Of The Hill mode for MM8BDM, I thought that it could instead of replacing DM and TDM replace Posession and Team Posession. I was thinking that a circle would spawn at a random point in the map and if there was only one person (or one team if Team Posession), it would act as if you had gotten the Circuit Board/Hellstone. This would be an easier way to implement a timer and also allow the game mode to be played in any map.

I can accept the maps from tf2.

That could work, a very good idea.

And you could hold it for 3-5 secs then you become king

The king would be more powerful though.

The powers, i will think about.

I like how I already had this idea and asked ASD if he could work on it.

What?you already had this idea?my bad.sorry.:/

[TERRORsphere]

Heh, I've already seen a mod like this in a mod for Doom.

[Shade Guy]

I also remember posting something like this in the 'ideas that come to mind' topic, but I'm not gonna do any work on it, so it's all yours.

Also, I dislike the idea of the 'king' getting any special abilities. Keep it simple.

Also, how does the Doom version work, Mr. Sphere?

[TERRORsphere]

Basically there are different areas in a map. In each area, there is a pillar. To bump the pillar, your team claims it. To win, you must claim all the pillers for the persific time limit.
It has messages onscreen to tell you what team owns what part.

[chuggaafan1]

Thats more or less control points...

Why?The king has too, otherwise the game won't be that fun.You have to work to become king.And besides, if there are alot of players trolling the king, he will be faster to kill.

somethin that ken doesn't like.

Hmm....can you give me the link for that mr.sphere?

That sounds a lot like Unreal Tournament's infamous Double Domination. It always goes something like this:

*capture first point*
*shoot shoot shoot kablam*
DEAD
*respawn*
*shoot shoot shoot kablam*
*capture second point*
"Blue Team is dominating!"
"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!"
*shoot shoot shoot kablam*
DEAD
"Last second save!"
You: "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--- "


Seriously, I'd rather see Bombing Run get implemented. Like that'll ever happen

[Myroc]

I'd rather see the TF2 version of King of the Hill implemented. In the (symmetrical!) map, there is a central control point. Teams spawn on their own respective sides of the map. To capture the control point you need to have people from one team stand on the point for a certain amount of time, with no enemy team mates present. Mostly standard control point procedure here.

When a team captures a point, a timer starts ticking down. The timer starts at three minutes per team, and starts ticking down towards 0 upon capturing the point.  If the other team would capture the control point during this time, the previous team timer is frozen (not reset).  When either team's timer reaches 0, that team wins. Pretty simple, although probably requires specific maps. (Although CTF maps could probably work for the mode as well.)

[Shade Guy]

Hm...Perhaps for CTF maps, the KOTH control point could replace where the grey flag for 1FlagCTF spawns?

[Myroc]

That was what I thought was obvious already.
