Skullbag: A New Gamemode

[Qent]

That grenade launcher issue has been bugging me for a while. I've known the cause (an old/broken version of skulltag_actors.pk3), but not the source itself. Please download a fresh version from http://zandronum.com/download (the 1.0 "Core-only" archive should do nicely) -- that is the only place you should ever get skulltag_actors.pk3 from!

It was from BestEver; it's fixed now, but you should still download from zandronum.com, as that will have the most up-to-date version.

I've gone ahead and updated the skulltag_actors.pk3 on the BE wad repository to the newest version, in case anyone might not have it for some reason and needs to download it.

Suggestion: Possibly rename the mod to Scramble. The reason is mainly not to confuse it with Skulltag and just for the fact that the name sounds more fitting (you scrambling for coins).

For some reason I associated the name with bagheads lmao, nice wad though.

Okay somehow I got the coin counter to stick at $0 by switching teams.

Lol! Funny story: Back when we made this for Skulltag, we didn't have coins. Originally you'd drop a white skull (that one being yours) and anything beyond that had a coin coloring to make it easier to have a point system for when things would drop all over the place. Hence, the name was Skullbag: because you were collecting skulls. But over time with Zandronum being the new port that took over, we still wanted to have an homage to Skulltag while still having something that matched Zandronum. Hence, we changed it to coins so they could be double sided.

And, while I'm on the topic, the coins are different shaped to make them easier to spot along with their color. The penny-looking coins are worth one, the triangle coins are worth 5, the golden diamond coins are worth 25, and the platinum coin (Big, round, shiny) is worth 50. Finally we have a rainbow skull coin that is worth 100.

When you collect a certain number of coins, you're supposed to gain a sparkle trail (which we have now fixed it to be a trail for the next release). And, when you gain 100 coins, you'd glitter all rainbow-like so you'd become an easier target to profile. If used right you can use this to strategize different approaches to scoring with a full team rush.

ZanGrab? Fun mod, hope to push a map out within a few days.

[Medicris]

Oh man, finally it's out!

I wish I still had those alpha testing videos.

[Avi]

You lost them? Aww, my sad face. :<

so it's port of unreal tournament's greed gamemode with small additions. interesting

Make it so when you are dead you can't still cap. This kinda makes defending pointless.

Took care of that issue right away, will be fixed in the next release.

I suppose it did turn out something like that, I had almost forgotten that mode existed.

Good but I was expecting a coins sound from the Smash Bros in my opinion.

About sparkles, I do not speak of a gameplay (visibility for others) aspect, but of the ones on HUD... They hurt my eyes a lot. In competitive sight must be concentrated, and moving things like this cause me a bad headache...

Might not necessarily be a good idea, considering MM8BDM had a mod called Screw Scramble that was basically just like this, but with the drop points being randomly-spawned things instead of a line you crossed.

does it work with samsara

because we all know it's completely worthless if it doesn't work with samsara

Quick Ijon, make a compatability patch for some mod on mod action.

It'll be.. So.. AWESOME!

[MinesaeHiromu]

I will be releasing Beta 1.1 some time later today or into tomorrow.

You shouldn't see the sparkles on your screen anymore if you're moving forward, they'll instead form a trail behind you, only if you have 100 coins or more.

I have the Samsara patch about 70% done at the time of writing this.

Interesting stuff and soon to be patched with Samsara? More epicness.
