I was wondering if I could get antics_v5 to setup on my game server. I also wanted to see if you are open to helping with some modding tips.

Is there a script to allow lan players to join a game and not subtract from the player total?

Console Command Scripts

Could someone give me a link to admin console command scripts for TV? I’ve lost all Documents on how to lock up the server and turning on antics and more…

AdvancedMapList fix for tvbp_b7?

zer0* — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:04:38 GMT

heya rapher.

first of all, congrats on the move/new job. it's a great feeling when you're doing what you love to do for your bread.

hope to see ya playin' more often!!

i was wondering if there's an easy way to get a map list working with b7. certain servers are running ctf+ and it keeps switching to the same map. it's just an annoyance while playing lt/tr too.

have you been doing any other work on T:V? or has the job been keeping you on your toes?

I've started to work with some of the stuff, with the help of water bottle. if you need any help drop a line. hop on eX vent, as i don't really use irc anymore.

<3 <3 <3

edit: also, i will be purchasing a server not this weekend but the following. it will be mostly LT/TR. would love to act as a test server for some of your goodies.

Menu Mooding?

Thrall — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:16:26 GMT

The menu when i press esc crashes when i go to f4/admin screen, but when i go onto host it does the same. When im on team rabbit or ctf+ , the modded menu from tvbp_b7 lets me enter the admin screen, any way someone can mod the screen on a regular ctf ,arena, or make it a default menu screen, then post the download here, thanks a bunch! !!

Aerial Mod??

Penguinman — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 22:14:50 GMT

I read the post by some australian on the TWL forums and the aussies are making a rover race kind of mod, It would be cool having a similar mod like that only in the skies, with modified assauslt ships and fighters and such. And also I remember seeing this in some map called glacier03 or sumthing like that, but there was an assault ship outside of the barrier that had a deployable turret in it, but the deployable turret inside was shooting AA rounds and had no health, those could be used as obstacles throughout the course.

And for scoring I was thinking something like the fuel mod, You would pick up containers of fuel or something like that, and would have to go all the way back to the starting point to dump the **fuel** back to your teams **depot**

While all of this is going on, the vehicles can attack each other and once destroyed, have to respawn back at the start and start over, once the vehicle is destroyed the **fuel** will be floating around and be free to be taken. And to even it out, the smaller vehicle like the fight would be more agile but having a weaker shot and less health, where as an assault ship would have more health and a stronger shot, but be less agile.

It's just an idea I got and decided to throw out

loads of respect for you rapher, ur AWESOME

Practise Mode

KmA_Div — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 16:58:18 GMT

Would it be possible to save someones position on the map and there loadout and then teleport them to that position with a keypress? If so i think a practise mode would come in very handy. Alot of time is lost with gearing up and making your way to the start of your route having the defense wait till the offense is prepared.

I know you are a busy man so if it is possible and you don't mind looking into it, I would be very grateful.

Duel Mod Suggestions/Fixes

DeathMonk — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 14:51:58 GMT

1. Announce "player1 and player2 are about to duel" in chat box.

2. put the players on teams who are dueling

3. make the winner either not blow up or announce the winner in text on the screen

4. make the option in the escape menu to accept a duel from a list of multiple people if you get more than one challenge

5. spawn points

6. sounds

There may be more in the challenge and accept portion.

a pack for turrents?

tombombadill — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 16:09:07 GMT

hrrrm. im just gonna come out and suggest this as a pack. basicly the pack acts as a power supply for turrets ( deployabls), the turrets only wrk if u are close enuf to "power them" mabey make the turrets more accurate, tuffer To blanace the effect of them not always wrking. i just fuigured this would put a bit of spice into TM .dunno what the active ability would be. mabey make the turrets shoot faster? just an thought

Swat 4 Antics

YammerHammer — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 08:08:50 GMT

I am just wondering if there are anymore future updates coming out for the Swat 4 Antics AC? There is still some hacks out there that are getting by. I appreciate all the work that has been done up to this point but I would love to see this being looked at some more. The entire Swat 4 community is positive that Nebulous_UDfame is the actual creator of the Antics for S4 and I would love to know how to clear his name as UDfame is a good clan. Any update info should would be greatly appreciated by the Swat 4 community. Thanks in advance.

Capture and Hold

Enigma — Fri, 11 May 2007 20:19:32 GMT

Great work you've done so far rapher, this is one of my favorite gametypes you've created. Here are some suggestions I have towards the future release of CNH

1. Since the "towers" are spawned at random at the beginning of the map, it will be possible that a team has not only just a majority of the towers on their side of the map, but possibly all. To counter this, I would like to see a spawn system similar to the team rabbit where you spawn within 100-150 meters of the tower (selecting which tower to spawn at similar to a CTF map with multiple spawn points).

2. The 5 second cap timer is too long, especially when team sizes get to be large. It becomes nearly impossible to take a point with multiple people defending one objective. I suggest making the towers switches so it's instant. if you don't make it an instant switch, please remove the "X team is capturing" and "X is contested" announcer ***.

3. Repair turret repair beam from the tower to slowly heal defenders who are nearby? This won't really be a good means of keeping healed during a fight, but mainly to regain some health after a fight when respawning isnt an option.

4. No heavies? if you do follow #1, i suggest you take out heavies as spawning so close in heavy armor would be very imbalanced since you could just spawn and spam mortars to clear. possibly allow heavy armor if the person runs back to his base to suitup and then has to run back to the tower.

5. Point acceleration. Either similarly to WoW (arathi basin): when you have all 5 points tapped on your side, points accumulate much faster, or make a tower's points per second increase the longer a team holds that point. The main strat otherwise would be to give up 2 points to the enemy, hold 2 for yourself and fight over the 5th point all game.

6. almost forgot, make the color of the tower on the minimap/command map coorespond to the team who has control over it.

Future Projects?

zer0* — Wed, 09 May 2007 04:02:05 GMT

I know, some may laugh, LOL FUTURE T:V LOL.

I'd still like to improve on the game while we have a community that's interested. I don't know how feasible this all is, but these are just some ideas:

1) script that automatically starts demo record when countdown ends (tourney mode), and shuts off at end of match

*2) fix the problem where the "receiving files" status box doesn't show when you use redirect/compressed maps

*3) easier voting system, sort of like UT2Vote (http://www.proasm.com/ut/ut2vote.html)

check out the screenshot, it was a nice system. i even contacted the lead developer, he was helping me try to port it over to T:V with no luck (this was before much of the knowledge we have now, back in '04-05).

*4) fix the serverlogo script that byte made. would help displaying rules, admins, websites to get maps, etc it's buggy and causes alot of the corrupt game file errors to pop up when used

5) enhance webadmin, i remember byte saying he was working on Reserved Slots and all other sorts of stuff

these are just food for thought. just lil minute details i've been pondering lately. in anticipation for rapher's big release, i'd just like to throw in a few ideas that might keep the bang going a lil longer.
