aSK - anti-Spawn Killing

[Kevo-sama]

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

Hi, thanks for comments!

bane of spawn killing from

Spawnkilling isn't that bad thing, spawncamping is.

but then you've got to hunt for the ammo

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!

i think its a good idea

[Aussiefella]

sounds fucken great to me

[KingJ]

yeah if you dont mind i will include this in my maps

Oh yeah and please register!

[Aussiefella]

when are you gonna implement this stuff?

[Kevo-sama]

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.

[off]You Make Advertising sound good [/off]

[Smarties]

tbh thats a crap mod, youl get people clipping in and out of the protection areas to prevent people being hurt. hmmm u cud work on it a suppose.

[H1tman]

good type of idea though, but make it so that ppl cant go back

[KingJ]

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)

[Bob]

even better if you could set it as a mutator

[Jeoh]

Nah, mutators lag.

[Bob]

ahhhh

i was just suggesting that he could set it as a mutator

[James]

[KingJ]

*Hacks looney bin database*
*Adds chococats name*
*Gets another large payoff from GJ / GK*

[Chococat]

What the hell!?

What do people have against me!?

I already got soaked today at the bus stop in the rain!



*violinists arrive*

Pity me! Love me! Waaah..

My friends are going away for 10 weeks this weekend without me!

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!



(Wow, my life sucks)

[James]

*violinists arrive*

Pity me! Love me! Waaah..)

You know I'll aways love you ^_^

*throws KingJ in looney bin*

[Jeoh]

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

[DarkKnight]

No one has anything agaisn't you Choco

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

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 ^__^
(Be that good or bad)

Now:

*Hacks looney bin database*
*Adds chococats name*
*Gets another large payoff from GJ / GK*

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.

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

All data kept on our Windows XP computers are errelevent.

You are now a member of the looney bin KingJ.

*puts you in the room accross from gj*

Have fun
