Splatter Flag and Hog Demo Derby!!

Fri Feb 15, 2013 9:42 am

As some of you know I've remade splatter flag. It's ready to go pending one more test night. We did one already, and it was as fun as always, but i made some changes to improve the experience. Changelist is as follows:

1) Added teleporters top and bottom. There are now 4, and players will come out on top in a more consistent location with where they were at the bottom

2) The new coliseum window pieces caused some player visibility issues. I have added grey walls down the entire length to improve visibility.

3) Added shield doors top and bottom, much like in the old version. This should help prevent scoring on lucky bounces where the flag goes all the way to the attacker spawn. The shield doors will also make it more difficult for attackers to use a stolen hog to block teleporters, causing defenders to flip.

4) Added color. When a player's hog is out of control, or if things are getting crazy during a flag run, there is now some perspective as to player location on the ramp. Color is Green 2/3 of the way down, transitioning to yellow, then to red as players approach the teleports at the bottom.

5) Edited the gametype to allow drivers only. While mongoose road trips are fun, enabling "drivers only" disables hijacking. This means that attackers will have to recover a lost hog to have a blocker, as in the original. This should also refocus gameplay on getting the flag, and away from hijacking whomever splattered you last.

The game will be in my fileshare as soon as it passes at least a 5v5 playtest. I'll be on pretty much every evening, so the sooner we can get a party together, the sooner you can get your grubby little paws on the lols.

Splatter Flag is now in my fileshare. Grab it at your leisure.

::different::

Hog Demo Derby and the first map are also in my fileshare. Unfortunately with the lack of race mode, we're limited to 8 warthogs. I'm working on a way to do it with a Dominion gametype for 16, but this will hold us over for now. More HDD maps coming soon too!

ONWARD! ::wheel::

Wish my xbl wasn't being all derpy. I heard it was a good impromptu mixer though. Everyone from HC really loved Splatter Flag and playing with you guys! :D

Some additions and refinements have been made to the Hog Demo Derby games.

Hogtagon has had the kill zones updated so that hogs explode immediately if off the edge of the ring.

The Hog Demo Derby gametype has been modified. Hogtagon now plays with the "Hogtagon HDD" gametype. This is because the hogs are NOT invincible. Invincible hogs render the kill balls ineffective.

Gametype titled "Hog Demo Derby" features invincible hogs and more traditional gameplay. This gametype will be used on the new map "HDD Crescent", and all maps from now on.


All 4 files (2 gametypes and 2 maps) are available in my file share.

Added third Demo Derby map "HDD Factory" to fileshare. This one is reminiscent of the original Hog Demo Derby on Rat's Nest. Thanks to Grass for the assist putting this one together.

If anyone can get some screencaps of these maps to put in this thread it would be appreciated.

Also be sure to grab the gametype "Hog Demo Derby" from my fileshare. The settings have been tweaked so that splattering is now at least possible, and movement on foot is restricted as in the H3 game.

I helped out with Factory! Duce had all the ideas of what he wanted, I just helped find pieces that made it look good.
And annoy him.
And put a tank on the map.

Also, for those of you that get the Mongoose, you're welcome.
