When will it be up?

[No_Remorse]

Hey Gall,

 

It's already up as SSCL Tri-Sector, just re-download your zones list.

[»Lynx]

There have been some problems with ssdir.playsubspace it seems, it may be listed as SSL CTF (SSC) on some directory servers. I'm looking into the issue.

 

Scratch that, issue resolved. You will be able to download the zone as SSCL Tri-Sector, happy subspacing!

Thanks again LYNX, the issue is resolved.

 

Also, I welcome any and all comments / feedback.

 

The zone is still in beta stages and ready to be tested. I'd love to hear what you like, don't like, and what you want to see changed. Your opinions are important, as they help mold the zone into something that everyone can enjoy!

Can someone post the directory server it's listed under? I can not find this zone.

Thanks for playing.

 

We made some changes now that we have a slight idea of what happens with a few players on.

 

First change is time to own all the flags is now based on population. 1-3 players is 1 min, 4-6: 2 mins, 7-9: 3 mins and so on, max is still 5 mins.

 

The next change, is a very nice feature! Its a delay on owning the flag you capture. You must have the flag for 5 seconds before it is considered captured. If the flag is already owned be freq 0, and freq 1 tries to take it, freq 0 can instantly take it back. But, if the flag is neutral, then both teams trying to capture must own it for 5 seconds to take possession of it.

 

Now, playing 1 v 1 is not nearly impossible to win, and no one can just rush in and reset the timer for winning.

 

This is a very enjoyable game to play, and we are still working on improving it. Please join our chat by typing ?chat=ctfzone in game, and tell your friends to check us out!

 

Thanks.

Didn't somebody say "PIX NAO!" in this thread? that's why.

[pixelsoft]

I need to say that SSCL Tri-Sector gets my thumbs up - not only are the graphics and sounds quite nice, I especially love the settings. They are quite original. You loose more energy when you shoot than when you get hit. This requires different skills than usual. You need to shoot less but aim better.

 

I also need to congratulate you. The gameplay with the flags is also very original. And still it is possible to have fun flag-games when it's 1v1 or 1v1v1 or 2v2. Too bad that the population isn't so high yet that one can expect breathtaking flaggames. But it's great that this zone can manage to maintain the original idea of gameplay even with a low population of 2,3,4 players.

 

You need to advertise more, resol. This zone is awesome.
