CalabiYau Development Blog (superflip udpate)

Hello! And welcome to my blog!
Here I'll be consistently updating and posting stuff that it's under creation for fGunz!

I will post explanations, images and videos of whatever it is done by met!(If relevant)

So let's start with the Team Run Gamemode shall we?

What is team run?
Team run is a gamemode to be available for everyone in every channel.
You'll get exp by completing races or getting close to its end.

What do you mean getting close to its end?
It would be unfair if you'd get very close to the end but lose to someone else, so you'll get exp based on how far you've made it into the race.
If you made a little far you get few exp, mid far mid exp, close to ending some good exp and obviously the winner will get most exp.
This is also known as checkpoints.

So why TEAM RUN? And not just single mode?
Because as many players from your team gets to the end the more exp each person will get!

What if people cheat?
All shortcuts will be blocked on this mode, means if you try to take one of them you'll be respawned to the start of the race, also if you've reached any checkpoints they are reseted.

What kind of race maps are available?
At first I'm doing SuperMario3. But i'll be adding every single race map on fGunz to this mode!

When is this coming out?
Before Christmas most likely!

Too much talk, show us!
There you go!

Update 0.1:

All checkpoints added, it tells everyone who has hit what checkpoint, reaching a checkpoint adds exp.
If people get to checkpoints it'll show on your screen separetadly who reached where (for 5 seconds), instead of replacing the text.

e.g http://i.imgur.com/CGQn2k1.jpg

Update 0.2
A video showing checkpoint arriving, you'll get it's exp when the round ends.
First checkpoint, STEP on that green big thing,
Second checkpoint, step RIGHT outside that grey part (don't go climbing right away)
Third checkpoint, right after supemario tube.
Fourth checkpoint is OPTIONAL although it'll add a lot of exp!!!
Yes that in the ending is a meteor! I've added it just for impressing ladies at the bar.

When you cheat why did it say you won? You didn't get respawned to the start.

Maybe cause what he did was a basic show of what it goes for winning the race, probably he'll lock shortcuts when he puts it in fgunz

What if I reach a checkpoint and then commit suicide... will I still receive EXP? :?

Could always make it to have a certain object "spawn" in the map as pick up check point (like an arrow).

what would be sick is if

HUMANS VS QUEST MONSTERS ( HUMANS )

Basically quest but quest monsters are controlled by humans as the model are human players, This i'd like to see happen!

sounds sweet, finally a good way to race, although a couple of questions:
would u lose exp if u suicide? cause a lot of people suicide in this map,
and what happens when u suicide? is it like normal team mode or do you get respawned in the beginning?
what would u refer to as shortcuts? if for example u cut the turn of one of the 90 degrees turns in supermario3, will it return you to the beginning? also it would be nicer if you could add walls instead of just a "cube" that if i player is detected in he will be returned to the beginning, if a mistake is done and a player has touched the "cube" he will be sent back so...

so is it only the winning team that will get the exp no matter how far through the course you were as the losing team?

Nope, loser team gets exp based on how many people got to how far shortcuts

Nice video title. I hope Surfen won't get mad. :o.o

Perhaps you can modify this game mode - requires at least 2 players to start since it's called "TEAM Run". So a player won't always abuse to get free EXP alone.

It doesn't start with only one player, I've only made it so I could test it by myself. Oh and I hope surfen DOES get mad

Considering you said developing for Gunz would be easy, I hope you and Jetman can start adding the last of MAIETs creations (particularly Blitzkrieg) so it can finally see the light of day after all these years.

Blitzkrieg is an order of magnitude more difficult to do than this. I could do it, but i want it to be a perfect emulation, which means I need to play it and see exactly how everything functions. The main problem woudl be the interface code would be enormous, hundreds of lines.

I'm not doubting your abilities Jetman, you've shown tremendous progress as a developer since you started a few years ago. I just think the more help would be better I guess. I guess it's just a race between you and Lambada to see who can finish it first :)

Well, lambda is by far the superior programmer, to beat him i'd need a small team lol.

I like every developers work none the less, no matter who's better at what, in the end it's all amazing.

Will superflip only have the hardest course available for team run, since that won't be a lot of fun for those that almost never play it and don't know where they can stand and such at the invisible ground stuff (you have to memorize it to go through that as fast as possible).

I was a COMPLETE NOOB at this course too, until I took a speedy dagger and practiced a lot.
The results? I can do perfect runs.

If I, ME, VINI can do it, then any idiot can do it too

Does this means we can only use melee weapons in that Game Mode?

I don't think so... If they apply it, players would possibly kill each other instead of finishing the race. :o.o
