Deathrun
by Josse

Current Version: 10
http://static.[bad site]/wads/deathrunv10.wad

Server Status: Dead indefinitely
Deathrun consist of two teams. The Runners, and the Activator. By default, you are thrown in with the runners, and one person is randomly selected to become the activator each round. The runners must make it to the end, while the Activator has to stop them. Runners are timed, so if time runs out, the Activator wins. The whole idea of Deathrun came from Source (CSS, HL, TF2, GMOD), and made its way through the modding community of many other games. I was a huge fan of TF2 Deathrun, and wondered if anyone on this community has made something like it. Since I saw nothing, I decided to give it a try. After a long while of Version, after version, Deathrun for doom finally became pretty popular!

Map Submissions
Final Template Version (Should be!)
http://static.[bad site]/wads/deathruntemplate5.wad
(Minor Fixes, I can add them when you submit)
3D Floors are allowed, custom content is allowed, as long as you delete unused textures when you submit it to me. Some simple Poly Object usage is allowed. They tend to go out of sync (at least from my experience).
This template has two maps: One where two activators are chosen when 16+ Players are playing (MAP02) and one where the win button opens up a 2nd section of the map when 16+ Players are playing (MAP01) You shouldn't need to update your map if you've already started it. But incase you wanna be sure, just throw me a PM.

(MAP01)
Map Extension basically extends the map when a runner reaches the end, and there were 16+ Players in the game. Much more simpler, and easier to incorporate to already existing maps.

(MAP02)
Double Activator is where two activators are chosen when 16+ Players are in-game. The activators have their own unique traps, and should never see each other until they win. When they are the last two alive, the game will warp them to a duel area, where they will battle to see which is the last man standing.

After you're finished, send me a PM and we'll talk further.

Love playing deathrun. Some of the traps in it are kinda hilarious.

Also, I'd like to make a map for this.

EDIT: Bug on MAP09: you can get stuck on a boulder and not die!

You need not worry! I replaced the trap with something else. :P
Also, we have a #Deathrun IRC channel. Feel free to report more bugs there.

You guys can map for this anytime, even right now! Just use the template, and contact me when you're done. We'll beta test it, and see if it needs changes and shiz.

imo, this needs player limit, cause when theres too many players its really hard being a activator. btw, maybe you shall put some cooldown for the switches, in case of a camper or idk

Hmm, I guess I could add a 2nd part to every map, if there's over 16 players, a 2nd part of the map will open up. How does that sound?

Or make it so that each trap can be activated more than once if there's more than a certain amount of players.

Not a good idea. If that happens then the activator could almost spam the traps and the runners would almost never win.

My idea: If there are more than 16 players, 2 activators will be chosen instead of one, and 2 identical portions of the map are opened. If the activators win, then they must try to kill each other (because its still a form of LMS).

That sounds like a fun idea. I'll throw it in DEATH12 and see how the general public likes it when I get the chance.

I like the identical portions of the maps idea but it might be hard to get it to work on some maps. (like the one where you choose which ship explodes, the camera changes on that map) However, you could still give players TIDs depending on which part of the map they are at and that could still be fixed I guess.

Yeah. Currently, the main activator tid is 999, then I could just check if players are above 16, and puke another script that teleports some one else to become 998. Shouldn't be too much. All I have to do is make copies of each trap.

EDIT: If I'm going to implement this system, I'll have to update the template! Hold on with the maps, I must do so!

Personally, I think that would be a bit tedious, if not unnecessary. Why? Well, think of it this way: What would happen if only one of the runners gets through and not two? It's still technically one game, but with a second activator and second version of the map.

I should have been more clear.

By "activated more than once", I meant just "activated twice".

That would also keep runners on their toes. "Is he going to activate this trap again or is he going to move on to the next one?"

If one gets through, both activators would die. Yes, it'll be quite tedious to code it in with existing maps, but who knows! Maybe it it'll be worth it.

EDIT: Hmm, or maybe AEnima's idea would be better, since its much more simple, and practically the same thing.

Yo, played this last night and it was really addictive (in a good way). Said I'd make a map and am doing so now. What I was wondering though is that this is not really new user friendly. First time being activator I had no clue what any of the switches did and of course ended up losing very quickly. I'd suggest something like a marker to show what each switch does. or at least the area trap is good for.

It's a given most players will figure everything out on their own but this is just an idea. I am including these in my map though ;D

Here's the catch: One of the maps (forget which) has two sets of mines. How's one supposed to reactivate those traps? (Personally, I think this should just stay as is)

And there's another map that has plasma constantly coming out of the wall at certain intervals. You can't really "reactivate" the trap there.


Oh, and speaking of traps, the rocket trap (not rocket marine trap) in the first map doesn't show a red button like the others do. Plus, it's the only switch where you can't actually walk over once you press it if you do manage to find it.
