Silent Fall #1



Are you ready for a new mode, one that requires only finesse over how you move? Have you ever thought to yourself "Gee, I really want to run around in circles picking up every weapon on Knightman!"? Are you ready to do that like a freakin' ninja?
Welcome to Silent Fall, where all your dreams come true.

You are competing for these medals:

The map you'll be playing on is a modified MM6KNI. So, how do you play this mode? Well:
-There are 17 coins to collect on the map, but you only have to pick up 14 as you only have to pick up one copy of Yamato Spear, Metal Blade, and Thunder Beam, of which there are two of each.
-You must go through the map without making any noise -- specifically, any landing noise. Although it's not quite this simple, it basically means you cannot fall from a height greater than 64 units
-The map isn't exactly like Knightman; primarily around the Flash Bomb/Homing Sniper area there have been changes to roominess and the addition of a new mechanic...
-There are red ladders on the map in certain locations; They make you go down at a safe speed when you're touching them. Green ladders, on the other hand, make you go up.
-Like Target Blaster, you must have a Cutstuff account in order to compete for the medals, and it'll have to be on the official server.
-There will be a BE server up with the wad. This is the server where runs will count. The server name will be :: [BE] Montreal :: Cutstuff Silent Fall #1.
-In addition to the best time, the server will also note the second and third best times. As long we have sufficient participation, this event will award a runner-up medals to the 2nd and 3rd place runners!
-Medals will be awarded to the lowest three scores in the server log. Tying with an already-established top three time will not beat that time.
-To accommodate for this change, the autosuicide feature has been expanded. Now, you may type set autosuicide_[1, 2, or 3] 1 into the console, to automatically end your run if you go over the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place time, respectively.
-If your name is not obvious, please state it in the chat of the server so I am aware.
-If you want to practice offline, set the game mode to survival (survival 1), then go to the map SFKNI (map SFKNI).
-For those worried about the BE service going down for maintenance, remember that I will have access to the server log nonetheless, so the best times will not be lost!
-If you forget any of these rules, there's a help screen you can view by pressing, by default, F1!

This event will run from the time I put the server up until Monday, April 6th, 11:59 PM EST (UTC-05:00).

Everything in this wad should run totally fine. However, knowing me there may be something go wrong. I will be around this release afternoon to make sure everything is stable. Which it should be!

Finally, here is the wad download. Bunch of credit to Lego who fixed a few things that I couldn't and OM for creating that jingle you'll probably hear several times SFKNI.wad

EDIT: Important note!
This competition does not forbid use of SR50. If you're serious about getting the best time, I highly suggest taking advantage of it.
You can find a tutorial on how to set it up in King Dumb's guide to the console.

Oh FUCK yes. I really love this idea. Plus there hasn't really been an exciting new mode for awhile so this could liven things up a bit.

Also, allowing SR50 is a great idea considering this is a competition and playing to win is a thing to be expected.

[Korby]

Good news everyone! The queue problems were actually SV_MaxPlayers 1 not being on! Woops!
No need to redownload if you have already!

Have fun!

[Russel]

As it turns out there wasn't actually anything wrong with the wad this time. Someone made a typo in the server settings.

I'll try to keep on top of things for this in terms of bugs, as the code for this mod isn't exactly the most organized thing and is likely very buggy.

[CutmanMike]

Good luck, I found this mode of play to be really tricky so I imagine a lot of offline practice to be in order if you want to win!

PS. This is me trying to get a good time in this mode.

[King Dumb]

This is great fun. Also I hope everyone remembers that the top three listed in-server are not the the top three unique individuals, but rather the top three times. So the third place time is far bigger (more time) than what the server says. Don't give up!

[LlamaHombre]

I'm really proud of KD and Michael in particular for taking my strat to as high of a level as they possibly can, and I'm really excited to see just how much more time can be cut off between the competitors. Excellent job so far, you all!

[Kapus]

No way in hades am I gonna come close to winning this (especially with sr50 involved) but it's pretty cool.

Posting here because my in game name is slightly different than my forum name. Honestly, this is very challenging, but given enough practice, a lot of people can do it.

I'm just showing proof that i at least finished

(click to show/hide)

and yes i know that korby can look at the servers log and see who made the best time or who even finished. i just wanted to show this.

[Turbodude]

I'm quite awful at platforming competitions like these, but I have to applaud those competing for their efforts!

I tried my hand at this and found myself a bit frustrated, but that's nobody's fault but mine, heh.

Good luck to those still racing!

[Kapus]

I got a sub 22:00 the other day.

that's probably the best I'll do

[Russel]

I beat it.

That's all I wanted.

26:- something. Definitely not the greatest, but it's good enough for me.

[Magnet Dood]

I've gotten fencing down nearly flawlessly and I still can't hit below 23.

Atomic Dog is way too difficult, and I can't platform on the torches for the life of me. I think I might have to sit out the medals on this one... Unless I can put my fencing talents to another use?  :?
