[ROYAL ROULETTE] version 2015-06-16

[weerwolf]

Gooooodmorning,

Within maniaplanet3 the Royal Roulette gamemode is now converted to its own title. You can find it in the Maniaplanet 3 store for download and install. There are some fixes still needed, but this release is fully playable.

Royal Roulette is based upon the normal Royal gamemode. It free for all to shoot. Respawn after elimination is possible until the pole is first captured. The pole may be captured again for speeding up the tornado.

Each round u spawn, the server deals u a number between 0 and 36. Each number has a combination of a standard weapon with a bonus reload speed multiplier and/or armor multiplier.

0 is the special, availble from ManiaPlanet 3. Its a custom weapon of brute force. Survive the loading time and unleash its power! Beware and use with care!!

Note: for the moment this weapon does not inflict self damage, but will do in the future

Have fun with this gamemode and most of all: GOOD LUCK!

Hello all,

Royal Roulette is bugging since the mp3 release. I have less time at this moment, some RL priorities, but ill work on it ASAP.

Hello all,

A few issues are solved, and the title is good playable now. I disabled the AFK script, which was randomly setting us into spec mode. The default settings are now active. MPaseco will provide dynamic point limit based upon the number of server players.

On the online server I removed a few new maps which had Siege gates build into it. These gates effect the pole capture and are not to be used.

I updated the titlepack without the special weapon, pending the fix of the dedicated.
It now playable again, server is online.

Happy Hunting

This Title is great, it really needs more players!
It's pure Fun & WTF moments, i love it. Even with the randomization, it's quite competitive, some player are very good. I hope it will have even more weapon in the future.

If i can suggest something, it could be fun to have a spot on each map where you can re-randomize your weapon in the round. Something that can be used only one time per round, by the first player who arrive on it maybe.

Please excuse my english, i hope you understand what i mean.

Great job!

Well i Played tonight with many members of LYNX team, it was really fun, and the questions in the chat are a really good add too. You don't want to stay static while you play, but you do want to answer the questions. xD
It's so stupid, I love it. xD
Really good work guys. This is the kind of stuff Shootmania needs in my opinion. Keep it up, it's great.
I'll try to make some maps for it, should i submit them here?

At some time there will be more variety yes. But first i must really understand the code good for events handlig of custom weapons. That I'm still learning

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately im not i coder, so I'm slow. And seen the priority of custom weapon handling this is not likely to go work with at short time.

Great job!

Thanks very much!

U can make maps, if u do it in the title it will automatically use the RoyalArena maptype. U can upload the map to Mania Exchange for this title.

After some troubles regarding the update link (old hoster went down) most of it seems to be fixed now.
If u still have -the old- u will need to unload the Royal Roulette title and re-install it from the mania planet store.
By visiting the online server you will know very quick if u need to do this, because it otherwise throws u back with a notification of a missing action. In this update i cleaned some more code, and went into experimenting a higher level of maniascript for weapons and moves.

* Meteor shower -> Your Royal Roulette Jackpot. You chance to get this disaster weapon is 1/1000. You will see on screen if you win this. If you do, u can only activate is once. You can do this by pressing 1 on your keyboard. (not on the numeric pad) // known issues, sometimes it doesnt deal damage to your opponments

* Fire in the hole -> Highly experimental. This is a special move. If activated, by pressing 2 on your keyboard (not on the numeric pad), your character will bend down a bit, and flames come out of its but. It will fly up a pretty distance ^^. Please note that we laughed our asses off in gameplay, but also destoys some anti-glitching functions of maps XD. Your welcome to try to get to places u never went before, but dont make it a glitching game
