Here is a customisable race module. sample race.conf wrote: | #define PRIZE_WARP 7
#define PRIZE_THRUST 11
#define PRIZE_SPEED 12
#define PRIZE_FULLCHARGE 13
[Race]
MinPlaying=1
MinTeams=1
Laps=2
; rectangular checkpoint area (top left and bottom right map tile coord)
ChkPt0=507,507,516,516
ChkPt1=549,500,558,509
ChkPt2=527,566,536,575
;whether checkpoint 0 is the start and the finish
ContinuousMap=1
; anyone not in a safe zone on 'gogogo' gets specced
InSafeToPlay=1
; stages: Ready, Start, CheckPoint, Lap, Death and Finish
; actions: Spec, ShipReset, Prize, WarpXY, ArenaMessage, Message
; message macros:
; name - player's name
; lap - laps completed so far
; chkpt - last checkpoint crossed
; rank - position in the race, 0 if still racing
; time - time in seconds since the race started (#.##)
; # - play bong#.wa2
; example configuration:
Ready-ShipReset = 1
Ready-Prize = $PRIZE_SPEED,$PRIZE_SPEED, $PRIZE_THRUST, $PRIZE_THRUST

Death-ArenaMessage=%name had a fatal accident (%lap laps)
;Finish-Spec = 1
Finish-Prize = $PRIZE_WARP, $PRIZE_FULLCHARGE
Finish-ArenaMessage=#%rank %time %name |
I've been having problems with version 1 and version 2 .zip format, please say if you can't open the file (I might switch to tar.gz as this is mainly for linux anyway).
version 1.2
md5sum incase the forum gets confused over multiple files with the same name

Hmm, documentation for 1.2 isn't correct. I'm guessing all those new "Ready-" and "Finish-" config options aren't enabled yet. Figured as much since WarpOnStart is still there.
Or maybe you didn't put the right source in for this version? Haven't tried the binary yet. Yes, that is the problem.
binary - v1.2
source - v1.1

First public suggestion:
A checkpoint wav message (just the wav, not the message) seems to be playing after crossing the finish line. This plays a little before the finish message, which may also contain a sound. It doesn't seem like it should do this though...

It's actually line 930: do_actions(NULL, p, "CheckPoint"); that is causing the problem. At the moment I don't have the time to come up with a practical solution as things like %chkpt need to work as expected (quick/dirty fix is to comment out line 930, and add else do_actions(NULL, p, "CheckPoint"); at line 971).

Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2004 6:27 pm Post subject: Race Reward (__Zone Developer__ Discussion) |
|
|
|
|
Smong had told me that eventually the ability to write your own reward (points_race) module will be added into the race module. I'd like to share my ideas on the reward ideas I have come up with, and hope that maybe some other people might suggest some. These would be formulas so that depending on the zone settings, a zone dev can modify a number to reflect that zone's concept.
Currently I have two modes: time-based (Time Trial) and place-based (Competitive).
ArenaPlayers*RewardModifier/Place
|
In this example, points would be divided evenly across the players according to standing. So if RaceModifier was set at 100, there were 50 players, then the results would be:
1 - 5000
2 - 2500
...
25 - 200
...
50 - 100
Every player who finishes gets points. With the current race module, every player must finish, but that will change.
if( place != 1 )
ArenaPlayers*RewardModifier/(1stPlaceTime-Yourtime)
else ArenaPlayers*RewardModifier/1
|
Here, the point distribution is based on how well you did versus the 1st player's finish time. This is probably a better test of race skill (kills, speed, etc ...). If there is a wide gap between 1st place and 50th at say 2 minutes, then the reward will be much lower.
5000/120 = 42 points (rounded to tenths)
You could also make this more intense by multiplying the player's standing by their time or the difference in times:
5000/(120*50) = 1 point (rounded up)
The difference in time would be the better alternative, and may result in a greater gap in point distribution. Although this would penalize everyone.
What do other zone devs think about a reward solution for racing?

Probably already know this, but race is broken in 1.3.2 due to changes.
What is different about CommandFunc in cmdman.h that is giving warnings in the following?

void CommandFunc(const char *command, const char *params, Player *p, const Target *target)
This means adding const char *command in most cases. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

By just looking at the diff it seems ok, I haven't got the facilities to compile or anything as I moved house and forgot my boot disk and blank floppies. But later today I might be able to freeload Visual Studio (although possibly it contains .NET )

No, the warnings did mean something :P Thanks Dr. Brain. Got back to this problem, and had to change CRace definition besides the changes to AddCommand.
blah. .patch or .diff attachments not allowed. Silly MineGoBOOM.
Okay, this contains a diff from the race in the race directory to the source directory.
I think I got one segmentation fault starting a race, but it did not repeat itself.

|
|
|

Okay. Time to stop bothering Smong with silly race stuff. Here's v1.3i.
This should work. Compiled and tested on my machine. If it doesn't work or you have problems tell me about it.
All documentation should be included in the archive. Prettied things up a little.
CHANGELOG
11/05/04 v 1.3i i88gerbils
* "i" branch started ;-)
* RaceReward hack, does not use a separate module.
* RaceDelay timer added to set maximum race time.
* AutoRace functionality added to start races automatically.
* InStartToPlay changed to spec OR ignore non-racers.
* stats->SendUpdates works. Now scores will update immediately. Yay.
|
TODO
* RaceMinDelay min=0
Minimum time needed to passa checkpoint before being disqualified.
* RaceRewardMode
Add in a new race reward mode based on time. This will probably be
players^2 * RaceReward / rank / (mytime-1sttime) [except for 1st place racer of course!]

If you factor in the time it takes to download 7zip, it actually takes longer.

Well, the point isn't just to save download time, but download time and bandwidth and space. Also the bigger the file, obviously the more noticeable the bonus. Besides, you (probably/hopefully) downloaded something to handle .tar & .gz, so there!

We ASSS people work in Linux. "tar zxvf" does the trick for tar.gz.
Of course, in most cases "tar jxvf" will do bz2.

...so? You still had to download something, even if it came with your distro. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually you could do 7z a filename.7z file in some distro without downloading anything extra.
