Knife event; 4x2 gmap

RealDDc · #1 01-28-2009, 12:07 AM

As I understand it, this thread is about a new event map, just as the barrel wars released recently. A small map with a rather short event on it, no new planet.

For this, the event map all about knifes, could be a sort of teamplay event. A few small maps, ready the size to hold 30+ / 50- players, without having everyone stand close by on startup.

Themed maps as summer, winter, barren lands, woods... With randomly placed obstracles on the map. Trees on the wood plane, lava and rocks on the barren lands, snow piles and alike on the winter map...

The objektive is to hunt something spawning randomly all about the map with the knifes, players are not able to kill each other and the randomly spawned creatures of course fitting the map theme are rather harmless aswell. The player to kill the most creatures over a period of time, may it 5 minutes / 10 minutes / 15 minutes wins the event, and gets the prize.

Teamplay can be helpful in this event, and the random generated obstracles aswell as different themed maps to choice for the hoster as command should make it quite interesting even after it's hosted dozen of times.

The name should be more of a secondary thing.

I like dennis idea because of the fact you won't need to add rules like no teaming and no running and etc but there should be some sort of danger so that its not that simple, make the creatures that spawn do something.

The popularity of snowraces and hide events, exists mainly in the fact, that you can't really die there.

But the different sort of random spawning and moving mobs to slaughter, could possibly use theme specifically special effects.

The trolls in the woods knock you back as sort of the blaster does.
The yetis in the arctic map freeze you as sort of the ice cannon does.
The stone/lava golems in the barren lands are immune to attacks, while charged and heat up temporarily.

And so on.

True True how about they use blasters which deal 0 dmg, so they have some way of fending off opponents, and its a bit of a challenge

yeh, i like the idea but, i don't think there would be actual creatures
because Zone uses Bots.

no it should NOT be a secondary thing, sure, i could name it KnifeEvent because that is probably what the gmap name is going to be, but it's like Irica, the level names says Arctic, IMO that's ****t up.

That way it would be a sort of teamplay event, but "FreeForAll" with the exception that teamplay could be helpful, but not necessarily to take part.

Creatures was just ment as open variable, it could be futuristic machines, robots, vehicles or living things. True, right after I had a short deviate and mystical beings would not fit quite well in the worlds of zone.

The "regular" bots are just pretty boring, but with a few tweaks and maybe new looks or the random spawn also randomly picks outfits, it could be fun. At a rare chance, one or another will find his own look in the event.

Omg look that bot there wears MY outfit...
