MM credit donations = Destruction Party?

Post by Ragnarok » Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:54 am

I was browsing the other day, and seen that we can donate our credits for some destructive parties "wands, nukes, etc..." . Is that still going on?

In a word ... NO.

Reason = Joey found that putting everyone in god mode causes some weird errors to pop up on the server log and told us not to god mode everyone until he figures out what's going on.

That's putting every1 in god mode - what about using our credits to buy weapon spawns for the evening? I know that is at least possible, as I have seen Anna put in MiniRL & MiniSSR Heavy spawns in maps before...?

See after learning alot about how the server and code works from joey until there is a code fix we cannot have the party at the moment. The reasons are because when an admin types the command "giveall" that meens give the weapons to everyone, or in our case, everything (including the monsters) so since the monsters cant accept the weapons we are trying to give them, they throw errors. Also when you use the command giveall ammo for every gun in your inventory gets its ammo default values overided and set to 999 so that throws errors also. And if you use the giveall command when a person gets a weapon it will say for example "magic wand" so there is no rpg handling for that weapon and when you wop it since it isnt rpg, it throws errors. So if the party was to be accomplished an admin would have to be on 24/7 that entire day to spawn the weapon pickup in the map or we would have to write a mutator to spawn the weapon in everyones inventory when they joined the game for that 24 hour period.

Yes we could use the credits to have special weapon pickup parties.

Putting the weapons in game as a pickup doesn't cause those annoying errors. There just won't be god mode (or nuke bombs).

Give us a few days to come up with a plan :)

Is it possible to add superweapons to certain maps and then add them to a folder (like ONS CTF INV CB)
as a diff gametype then when we come up wit enough points we could jus vote and play the super maps all day

Yes, I've summoned weapons before, but even though I don't have a clue as to what it would do....just the sound of "giveall"....makes me a bit nervous. If something like a "Party" were to occur...I would just simply summon like the top 3 or 4 weapons, there is no reason why you'd need to use give out anything beyond that. Besides...if they don't like that spawned weapons...there's a map full of weapon spawns they could hit up.

Speaking for myself...I can say that as much as I would love a day of "godmode", "kickass weapon" killing...I would be more than happy with the kick ass weapon...I'm sure most other players would be too!! =D> As long as something of this sort took place on a day that I don't have classes...I could probably be on the server for a large part of the day.
