Capture the Flag on BC? - 2007/11/13 23:31
Just thinkin about how a capture the flag event would go along. thered have to be some programming along with this, but i doubt it would be alot.
What im thinking is about adding a new item, the flag. only an admin can build it as it is an event item. Of course there will have to be a flag made. along with the flag, should be an arrow indicating where the flag is. also a miniature flag beside the player with it.
Heck, we can even have this as a competition, kinda like a different kind of BCL.
yes i know this has been brought up before (in game). but why not try a REAL flag instead of using orbs for them?

because no one has time to program right now  i am stuck programming for school(not that i know how to do much visual), so is weebo, and vindkast is a bum.
but HOPEFULLY we will get the new client up and running if remote will send the server, then its not going to be possible to make updates until weebo gets the actual code. but trust me, the newer client with no code is better than this one with the code

i meant to do this after we get things running again. it might take some time to do that, but that doesnt mean we cant plan ahead now, does it..?
Yes i know everyone is busy and we dont have the latest version of bc and other stuff. but im just puttin this up for future use.
EDIT: is this a good idea or not? i can start working on a flag and other things if i get a good enough view on the community's opinion.

How do you see it working? The same as an Orb, except the city is not destroyed once you capture it? What does the team who has the flag do? Only stay on D?
Unlike certain shooter games, if we assume the flag to grab is on the CC, actually taking it back to base won't really be a challenge on BattleCity. The challenge is getting to the CC. There won't be a camper waiting for you outside your base to stop you from bringing the flag home 
That doesn't mean it wont work, but we need to think of a way to do it that makes sense on BC

if i remember well, we tried this once before (i think rise mightve been the admin) and someone else helped to plan it out (forgot who) but there would be walls blocking the path back to your base and people shooting you (6 hits arent that hard to get on a person).
the way the flag would work is that once it is grabbed, there would be a message telling you that either your flag is taken, or an ally has it. maybe some arrows pointing to the person that has it could pop out on the sides of the screen.
we could possibly tweak the game up a bit by only allowing sleepers(<--snipers?) as a type of defense .

I'm not sure if the game is up anymore. I haven't played it in a while, but that game was designed for CTF and it is probably the greatest CTF game I ever played. Grenades, Molotovs, Submachine guns, Duel submachine guns, snipers, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, beam rifles, suicidal nuke bombs, knives, shields, and chain guns are all the weapons you can use on your babo(a moving ball with a gun). You can make your own maps, or play on one of the many battlefields they already have for you. The graphics are probably like BC's, but the game play(like battlecity) is what gives it it's edge. Also, when you kill someone they drop a health pack and grenades which you can pick up.
Now, with battlecity we only have a laser and a zook. No grenades, snipers, beam rifles, knives, shields, molotovs, etc...It is quite hard to shoot someone 6 times when they are running away from you seeing as how you have to stop and shoot. While in baboviolent you move and shoot. Also you may shoot in 360 degrees in one spot without moving your ball at all. Battlecity just isn't cut out for CTF unless we completely change everything about it, but just leave the tanks in.

I'll start playing when the lag gives up a little. I don't mind playing with a ping of 200, but when the average is around a thousand it becomes a problem.

hmm, well, i think the issue for now is getting more people on, and getting everything back to normal (bc version+server).
This was just a suggestion, but i hadnt took into mind about how much it wouldntve worked due to bc's playing style thing. maybe farther on some changes will bring along an even better thing than CTF
