How long are you gonna in them armies anyway?

About 6, 9 or 12 months. I cant know for sure right now.

Im fairly sure basic deathmatch AI is an easy thing to accomplish with current lua. and having a team deathmatch to a cirtain number of kills would be bloody easy as hell. more lua functions would help for more complex gamemodes, but im sure we can wrap something together for now.

Team deathmatch sounds cool to me.
Hell, maybe even a placeholder capture the flag could be cool.

I think I'm gonna put the current plan on the shelf to gather some dust and write a bit more simple one for those 2 gamemodes.


Also gtaiiilc, thanks for the blue recolors, I was thinking a while back of making the hero unit blue, and you just happened to make the recoloring what I needed.
As for the main gamemode things, I was pretty much thinking of having a single color merc and let the HUD tell what team he's on. I could bet that it would be a bit more simple to script if you had only one actor to reference and use in the script. I might be wrong, but still I see its more simpler with only one actor to worry about.

it would be cooler to have the mercs recolour to whatever team they were on. red and green mercs fighting would be heckawesome, perhaps with blue rouges or something. maybe blue heroes. and all that could be done with an easy script in the basic mercenary's create code, and just remove it in the hero's script for blue heroes. that would make deathmatches extra awesome.

WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ AM I ON THE FORUMS NEED TO WORK ON ENTRY

Guess i'll get back to paint shop pro all is well tho since it is for the EPICNESS THAT IS ....GAMEMODES!!!!!
side note I will do a red droppod too

ninja edit: since you can play CC four player maybe I should make a gray or gold team too

I wrote a deathmatch script a while ago, while it wasn't easily modifiable as you wanted. I'm pretty sure I still have it somewhere

POOF wish granted I made red blue and rouges, but I didn't just want them named mercenary Blue , mercenary red etc. so I renamed ALL of them after army's from different time periods. The normal mercs are named 'mercenary Delta' and there leader is' mercenary Delta Veteran' after our time period, the blue are named after feudal era Japan like 'Mercenary Tanto' with leader 'Mercenary Tanto Daimyo'. the read are set by roman army's like 'Mercenary Gladius' and leader 'Mercenary Gladius Centurion' , and the rouges are just rouges with stolen "Tortoise Mk1" combat armor and there leader is called a berserker.

I also made a red Mercenary Gladius Legati for like a VIP game mode.and the rouges to be a unusable annoyances in modes like CTF,KoTH,and last man standing( or maybe a invasion mode like in UT )

NEAT FACTS TIME!!! the mercs excluding the green are all named after a weapon from there time period; there leaders a rank from that time frame;and there armor after well... armor from that time period( the blue is 'kabuto' red is 'squamata').
