Post subject: Infantry Development Zone

I am developing another zone called "Infantry" and I am looking for people who could contribute to the zone. I've decided to make the zone more of a community where players and developers of the like can submit things to improve the zone.

Please note: You are not likely to get staff position for this. Your contribution will be credited in both news.txt and commands.hlp - also, a screenshot will be added in a gallery with your name on it so players can see who contributed what.

I hope I don't sound selfish or anything. I've already done a lot for the zone (ships, settings, graphics, sounds, etc) and I am hoping to complete this zone soon before college.

What the zone needs
1.Bases - I need people to submit skeleton bases. You know, bases that aren't tiled or anything. I will be personally tiling the bases since nobody else knows how to use my tiles!
2.Scenery - Trees, bushes, rocks, boulders, etc.
3.Extras - Anything else that you might want in the zone.

Gameplay
My plan for this zone is to make it a team oriented zone. I wanted it to make it a squad-based zone where squads can compete against each other against other squads. There will be a maximum of 6 players per public and private freqs. The objective of this zone is to capture all 100+ flags in the map before another player does. The twist to this flagging method is that once a team captures all 100+ flags, they automatically win the flag jackpot. Another twist is that if your 135 second timer goes off, you lose your flags - so you must either kill another player or find another flag to received more flag time.

This zone relies heavily on teamwork. Without their help, you aren't likely to succeed. I've been trying to think of an original gameplay for quite a while now, and I hope this will work out just fine since I've never seen another zone use it before. If the zone ever gets huge, I'll increase the flags up to a maximum of 255 and I might actually use the whole map too.

Current Settings
* 6 players per public freq.
* 6 players per private freq.
* 4 respawn points (might be changed later with a bot)
* 100+ flags randomly scattered. Note: Your team must collect all 100+ flags to automatically win the jackpot. Your flag timer is 135 seconds. If your timer falls below 1, then your flags will be lost!. To gain more flag time, you must kill or find another flag. Friendly flag tranfers are disabled.
* Periodic Jackpots. The more flags you hold, the more periodic jackpot you get.
* KOTH is enabled.
* Upgradable Units (by prizes, not permanent)

Bot Plugins Used:
* Flag Bot
* Flag Mover
* Rampage
* Lag Bot
* Rabbit
* (might add a modified rankbot)

Staff Positions:
* 1 SysOp (Me)
* 1 SMod (Staff Coordinator)
* 3 Moderators (chosen by Staff Coordinator)

Some Questions/Answers (feel free to ask more)

Why didn't you retire?
- Because subspace is so fun! Also, I like to help other players with their zone. I also love developing zones too.

I asked if I could help you in your zone but you said no! Why is that?!
- It's either that I don't need help or I don't like you. Though I believe the latter suits you best.

Hey! Desert Storm doesn't give you any real credit for anything! Shouldn't you shut them down for that?
- O Rly? The bastards.

Why don't you name the new zone Desert Storm 2?
- Maybe on my next project.

Can you make a ship set for me?
- Umm. If your zone has potential and is 85% done.

Can I see/test your development zone?
- Ask me on AIM and I'll get it up.

Special thanks to Battleship Galaxy for helping me on the development zone and for being such a good friend.

I like the ships and GFX but i'm not too sure on what the map is meant to be? Is that just a bunch of things you've made so far and will be merged into like 1 big base?

It shall be a city of bases merged together.

Losing flags when they get dropped would be best done in ASSS.

/me hugs Grav

What a waste of a perfectly written (though it was too much effort) post on a zone that won't make it.

Where the hell are people finding all this dev's anyhow? They're fucking coming out of the woodwork or something. Or maybe they buy them in the "ass-kissing" section down at the local GOFUCKYOURSELF-mart, same place all these newbies come from.

*wink* to 1st. My idol.

Sounds like the generic VIE WZ map to me.

If i get my next zone up err im lazy at the moment and im way too distracted my main problem. I'll prove that I can make a good zone or at least a work of art which i'd also be proud of and if it fails i'll edit it up almost completely
maybe some of it left but differently to fit the needs of the players and just new ideas... to make it work because this zone idea is going to take a long time and i'm not just going to waste it if im going to do it which i'm going to start figuring out some more stuff right now.
