Rocket Arena v1.3.1b (/w Bots)
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 8:58 pm
Rocket Arena (for Doom) is HERE!
For those that don't know, Rocket Arena is the most popular multiplayer mod in the Quake community.
So popular in fact, it carried on into Quake 2, 3, and 4.

Bots:
Bots are supported. Type "addbot" in console to add a bot.
Note:
This mod is an early release, and is barely a "mod"; only minor scripting was done, and it uses Skulltag's "Duel" gamemode (with a specific config) to handle most of the "mod" work.
Currently does not contain the extra features(such as Red Rover, Practice, etc.) that you might expect from modern Rocket Arena mods.
Only 1vs1 right now, and only 1 arena per map.
Clan Arena may be a separate mod, using Skulltag's "TeamLMS" gamemode.

So popular in fact, it carried on into Quake 2, 3, and 4.

How it works:
- 2 players start in an arena(typically 1 room), and prepare to fight eachother (with full power(health/armor/weapons)) until 1 player is left standing as the winner.
- The winning player will remain in the arena, and fight the next player in line(queue).
- NOTE: Although the mod is called "Rocket Arena", you are allowed to use all weapons. However, certain maps are allowed to specify which weapons are allowed (for example, MAP04 is railguns only).
Features:
- 10 maps.
- New music.
- New background and logo.
- Supports bots.

Mapping Tutorial:
To create a map:
- Start a new "Skulltag (Doom in Hexen format)" map.
- Add skulltag_data_fixed.pk3 to your Resources.
- Create a room/arena.
- Add at 4 Deathmatch spawnpoints, and a Player 1 Start and Player 2 Start. (NOTE: The player start spawnpoints are not used, but are required for server to run "Duel" correctly.)
- 3D Floors, and Slopes are allowed.
- Send your map to me with your instructions: 1) Which weapons are allowed. 2) Name of your map. 3) Author name. -- I'll setup the scripting, music, etc. and add your map for next version release.
