This will work, right? (Saying yes is manditory

)

Also, do all "radius" settings refer to pixels, or tiles?

Yeah but... yeah but... damnit.

Here's a question: Can you mix ASSS features with a regular .38 server?

SuSE · Me measures good Joined: Dec 02 2002 Posts: 2307 Offline

ASSS does everything a regular server does and more I think

Katie · Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2003 6:15 pm Post subject:

Yes, but can't I just use half and half?

--------------------AND--------------------

Is it possible to have a ASSS Lan Server?

1 ] dunno - why would you want to?

2 ] probably, don't know

1) I just want the ability to say where the flags spawn for flagging, not turf.

2) Well what good are you then?

1] say where the flags spawn? like "*flags"?

2]

Yes... I'll explain a bit of the zone to you, but not too much as I want the idea to be fresh when people start playing.

Players spawn in a safe area in the bottom center of the map. From there, there's 8 accessable warps. Warps 1, 2, 7, & 8 all lead to bases. Warps 4 & 5 lead to a "greening area", which I convieniently placed in the center of the map, so I wouldn't have to mess with that (powerballs spawn here too). Warps 3 & 6, however, lead to a "flag area" not near the center. This area is where players might dogfight for the flags, and then retreat to a base where the flagging "should" take place. I need to set a spawn point in the center of that area, as well as a radius for the flags to drop away from that spawn point.

*Note: The flag area is a large circular area, and warps 3 & 6 just spawn to different locations of that circular area.

Hope that helps,

Katie

Why not just continue making your zone and by the time you finish hope that the main hosting networks give the option to use an Asss server?
Alternatively you could use merv to move the flags to the flag area.

There's a plugin that will move the flags?

hrmmm, you might be able to use the FlagMover plugin to do what you want

Katie · Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2003 12:11 pm Post subject:

I see, so just specify everything but the area I want the flags to be dropped as invalid?

I'll need the bases to be valid area's to, so wouldn't it get confused on where to drop the flags? Either in the bases or in my flag area?

it doesn't actually specify spawn locations, it specifies where they cannot spawn (or drop)

so you should be able to make them droppable in your bases and only actually spawn in your flag-fighting areas if your prize:minimumvirtual and the location of your flag-fighting areas are in the right places

Katie · Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2003 6:49 pm Post subject:

You would have thought it worked. It did... kinda. Then I realized I had to change the minimumvirtual setting. I can't because I already have the flags and power balls spawning in their own area.

Instead of being somewhere else on the map, I made the flag area go AROUND the green area.
