aSK - anti-Spawn Killing

Postby Kevo-sama » Sat Mar 27, 04 7:11 pm

Upon visiting your home page, it seems as though you hope to aid in eliminating the bane of spawn killing from DXMP.
I've seen some current maps, and I really dislike the idea of locking the spawn rooms down, I mean sure it works, but then you've got to hunt for the ammo, and exterior weapon racks, which can be a pain in some maps.
As an alternative I've been trying to implement aSK, or anti-Spawn Killing. Basically a modification of all DX weapon code and DeusExWeapon in addition with a new zone - SpawnZone.
The idea is that the weapons don't fire in spawn zones (as they don't in water) and when a projectile enters a spawnzone it is immeadeately destroyed (without splash for you geppers out there).
Anyway I hope this helps, and best of luck.

BTW: *Pokes his maps http://www.dxediting.com/files.php?file_type=1* I couldn't resist :roll:

Spawnkilling isn't that bad thing, spawncamping is.

I got that few months ago, i'm placing ammoboxes in every corner so player can easily get ammo when he needs.
Anyway, this isn't the best way, as you have noticed.

Very nice idea. For example, i remember Jim Bowen used same to prevent of using grenades in spawnzones (not weapons, just grenades). Problem is - there is no codders and i don't know how to realise it...im bad one in codding. I will try to do something but i don't believe in myself when im working for something, that i have not completely explore.
Anyway thanks for the idea!

When??

Postby Kevo-sama » Thu Apr 15, 04 5:11 am

I'll get around to it soon, I'm currently trying to finish up another DXMP map, one that I've had in my head for a while now (it's turning out great). And the APs and the ISEF are soon, so I'm going to have about nil time until after 4 weeks.

Ok. Here are my Views:

Allow there to be an option so the map designer can choose if they want people to go one way or both ways, because both methods could be used in diffrent types of map (E.g A aSK zone around a shop - so you cant get frag'd whilst at the shop)

I've finished college forever!

I have no money! (Well £1.21 in my account, but I'll get a 1p interest)

I have no job!

KingJ has security. It will take more than 1 person to take him. More like...12 heavily armed men.

Life generaly sucks, but when you are in a tunnel and you see nothing but black that just means you havn't hit the wall yet! Once you hit the wall you'll see there was a corner and a light shall guide you 8)

Most friends keep in touch, and although everyone walks a differnt path, you will all have a chance to meet up again. :)

And finishing college forever is a good thing ^__~

And everyone loves ya Choco ^__^

We don't have outside web access, which means you would have to be inside the lonney bin, and if thats the case then you are in the VR room. 8)

All ou database systems run linux, with the full pass protection 8)

All data kept on our Windows XP computers are errelevent. 8)

You are now a member of the looney bin KingJ.

*puts you in the room accross from gj*

Have fun :wink:
