Spar Complex

[Tim_Rocks]

I would like to move the mall back to it's original location and put the spar complex in the mall. Thoughts?

Leave it where it is and do the same..?

That's not even a far move, and would displace 3 independent buildings(PR/Quest/Rules, Lottery, Gang), the slides, lottery sign, top player statues, and sewer houses.. which all belong there; for no reason.

Plus the mall building is ugly, and far too big considering its only 3-4 main rooms, all on a single floor (you could even argue the second level of stands is actually underground...)

I still support just swapping it with the East Locker building, which is rarely frequented and about the same size. Why hasn't anyone done this? It would take like 90 seconds.

It could work. Or just add the spar complex to the mall. That could also work.

For those talking about an outside arena. That's another debate, that's nothing to do with this. Move the spar complex to unstick and put an outside spar arena where the current complex is.

Job done.

I don't think an outdoor spar is a good idea though. I'd just throw nitros in all day.
All.Day.

All it takes is somebody to get a flame thrower and hold d beside it and well, let's see if there is no lag? Or like you said, throw nitros in.

Flamethrower doesn't spawn flames in the spar complex, I don't think it'd be any different for an outdoor one.

People will find a way. It's very easy to restrict things in a single enclosed level. Yet there are some effects and functionalities available ONLY on the gmap (Cars, Helis, Nukes, etc. etc.) above and beyond the original restrictions, which would have to be applied to multiple levels, probably at odd sizes. I personally just see a huge workload for no positive gain.

I can see it now; trying to drive a car through the arena wall.
Calling in an airstrike from under a tree nearby.
Map launching nukes.
Tossing a P4 you planted and picked up a mile away just to bypass the restrictions.
Helicopters...?
I can go on.

Beyond this, it would require an area the size of, if not larger than, the soccer field. The area around it would have to be no-pk for observers, and would have to be substantial in size (at-least a dozen tiles around the perimeter of the arena) to prevent basic grenade/fire/projectile effect interactions, as well as pk-flag abuse (surrounding it with bombs/melee lame). I picture like a Sparring Colosseum.

Further beyond, the arena itself would have to be placed within a single gmap level, or the scripts might not function properly/passing through gmap levels resets projectiles & causes lag. (Oh that guy is walling me? let me just hop through this level link to reset his projectiles, crap it lagged me for 2 seconds *axe)

An area fitting this description, within a radius from unstick me to the current sparring complex simply doesn't exist.

#again #sigh
Switch the @SparringComplex and the @EasternLockers, this shouldn't take more than #2minutes.

Did the spar complex ever move then?

I'll make it happen tonight. I've been busy with finals.

Got it done, was considering adding more spars though. Possibly a 2 vs 2 spar would be cool.

Awesome. I can't check it out for another 5 days. Something 'i can't talk about' on the forum.

2v2 would be pretty epic to be honest. You have the scripts in the TTS level but never worked out as well as you wanted it to. Maybe work on it a bit more and try get it in the spar complex.

Where did you move the complex to?
