XDOOM Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 Hey guys Is it possible to make LVZ that will prevent flags from going outside of the map? xdoom
kick me!! Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 Hey guys Is it possible to make LVZ that will prevent flags from going outside of the map? xdoom Hm...I'm not quite sure about this. I know of one way though; simply filling four to five layers of 'space' (completely black squares) along the border. I think it may have been done in the past, but it should work. It might make the map look a little sketchy, but it should do.
XDOOM Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Posted November 11, 2005 I dont want to do it that way cause the map will look gay then Must be another way .... I swear i've done it before too but I can't remember
»Maverick Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 I don't think its possible with a lvz, at all. (LVZ = Gfx; can't stop a flag from being carried) You need a bot

(LVZ = Gfx; can't stop a flag from being carried) You need a bot Right Maverick, now I remember, we used to have a bot that did it for us. The bot came with a deva map, and we used a certain tile to fill in the map where the flags were not allowed to go on the real map .... then the bot would do something about it. There you go guys, thats another thing we need in the main bot for deva.
kick me!! Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 There you go guys, thats another thing we need in the main bot for deva. I have an idea for a bot. Have another 24/7 bot, but with a credit feature for buying stuff, ya know. Have like, per kill, 10 creds and per death, 2 creds, and 40 creds per goal or something in that nature. It will possibly encourage other players to play the zone more often, wanting to buy items (such as super, points, w/e) or for simply bragging rights. For events, make them worth credits rather than points, making buyables more flexable. Some people don't really care about the points, so instead, they could buy super, or shields (if possible), rockets, OR buy the points from the credits system. You should increase the cost of points for each item in the ?buy menu, or get rid of it all togethor and stick with the credit idea. IMHO, I prefer the credit/buyable bot idea. Also, for the Devabot (original that is), have the lagging feature. The .lagcheck (playername) and .lagme commands should show everyone how laggy someone is. Have like, the current ping 500+ and ploss 2+ for a spec. Just a few ideas for the moment, I'll possibly think of others as time goes on
XDOOM Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Posted November 11, 2005 But lagging is part of deva!! Any for the buy-bot thing ... I dunno ... I really dont think its a good idea letting people buy super ... but thats just me ... We are gona have to think this one further ... right now you can buy a few things with ?buy (including rockets)
Paine Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 Special tiles, does not appear on radar, acts as a solid tile, I believe the tile ID is #253 but I'd have to check
Munchy Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 Or You could just close off the outside because mods and up can warp themselves outside the map neway.
GoodFellah Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 But you shouldnt have to do that.
XDOOM Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Posted November 12, 2005 1. There is always not a mod around2. Adding the tile to the map makes the map very large (large download, long time for dialupers like me)3. I know a bot can do it.

We are gona have to think this one further ... right now you can buy a few things with ?buy (including rockets) I agree, lagging is a part of deva, but lag is also part in every other zone, so what difference does it make? Well, your idea of people buying super is not valid; you can green super up to 40 secs!
Default+ Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 If you want a could host a bot with lag checks and other plugins.
