erorr404 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Do you prefer... - fighting in a concentrated area with boundaries, or on the whole map with spawns spread accross it? - teams or free for all? - if teams, having friendly fire on or off? I'm wondering because a lot of people didn't like my downtown gangwar ini. I don't know if it was because of the boundaries, or just because they didn't like the location/characters/atmosphere. I'm planning on making a new .ini with the whole map open, but I want some feedback on what people like first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Well in my ini's i make i like to try different things like destruction derby/stunts/ generally game modes where you play a mate and go do stuff in the city. Deathmatch is ok sometimes but not allways as it can get frustrating sometimes depends whos playing. If i do like to shoot others then id say team games, like team a vs team b, paintpall style would be cool in gta And most certainly friendly fire on as i hate when team mates accidently hit ur team members and they loose life cos of it.

I'm planning on making a new .ini with the whole map open, but I want some feedback on what people like first. lol, yeah I was one of them,, I was only joking around Here are some points that you should think of adding to your ini. - Make Teams and put them in somekind of HQ. -- Don't put them all scattered around vice city, and call them a team ) - Give a Team a specific vehicle. -- E.G In mine, Greasers have a white Freeway, Haitians have a voodoo, etc.. you get the point - Spawn Screens. -- This is what usually grabs the players attention. Try to put them in open areas, and at different camera angles ( I love your spawn screen btw, ) - Weapons. -- Give each team a specific weapon(s) - Models. -- When making teams, dont just put an old lady and a beach guy as a team . Use Models that look alike, etc. - World Boundries -- This is totally up to you. But if you have seven teams scattered all around vice city, leave the boundries as it is . Be Creative. I created many vanilla.ini's, including Manhunt, when you cant see anyone on the radar and its in a specific location. 7 Team Gangwar ( Currently on the =BGC= Public Clan Server ) Spawn war, Boat wars etc..

Jam! Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I would prefer team DM's with friendly fire on. I hate when your own teammates just kill you for no reason. And all the teams should have like a HQ/base, like the Army has the fort, etc. Edited September 1, 2005 by Jam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE*Eagle Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I would prefer team DM's with friendly fire off. I hate when your own teammates just kill you for no reason. And all the teams should have like a HQ/base, like the Army has the fort, etc. Then you want friendly fire on.. Yeah, I agree with the fact of having an HQ for each team. And like I said before, give them a main vehicle, weapon etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erorr404 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Eagle, all of that stuff is pretty obvious . i was looking more for opinions on what type of game people like. except you do make a good point about giving teams their own, unique vehicles. thanks for the comments so far, keep them coming.

erorr404 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) i already decided to leave the map open for my next .ini, with spawns equally spaced and covering the whole map (well, not so much the first island). right now im trying to decide whether to make the game team based or a free for all deathmatch. im leaning toward team based, but i dont know whether i should have FF on or off... perhaps i should have made a poll to see what most people think. here are the spawn locations im thinking of: [image removed] Edited September 3, 2005 by erorr404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam! Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Nice map! I vote team DM with ff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORO Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 me thinks a good thing would be to take most of the action to the east coast. dont know out you but i think that we are all preety much fed up with the mtaish style wars at cherrypops or like now we experience in v2 at the bikers club. put some spawns on the beach (teh beach boys w00t), vice point, el swanko etc, and make it so every team (or almost) has access to the sea and a few boats at the spawn.. im at work so i cant put my ideas together, but the primary goal is to take the action to the east coast. gl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Personally i think a ini should be limited to either left island or right island as i think if u let players go all over game world area it is just too big and wont be as action packed i think compared to a smaller area. Thats just me tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erorr404 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) i took both of your advice (grammer?), but i need to think of a few more spawn locations: [image removed] they shouldnt be too close to one another, and should be near a building/court/whatever where the players can take up positions and defend their base. also, each 'base' will have it's own boat(s), a heli/skimmer, a hidden PCJ, and some cars. any more suggestions?

BORO Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 gice us one on prawn, good old robbers also you might consider the lighthouse as a spawn too. a spawn in leaf links is nice(not on the east island near the round point!), its a large area and you can locate some stuff over there. the spawn at the cortez boat is perfect i ll go ingame tonight to take a look around vc and eventually post some more feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erorr404 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) i think a spawn at leaf links would be way too close to the 'undecided' spawn. the reason i dont want it cluttered is becauase the teams will just run a few blocks down and spawn war eachother, rather than driving around the map toward the other bases. i dont want to move it either, since as it is they have a nice little house with a helipad and a small pier. the lighhouse spawn would be a really nice place, but its just down the road from the Cortez spawn, although i might still put it in. i'll definately put the robber spawn in. edit: i added the robber spawn, but i cant put in the robber or sailor models since special characters aren't supported in VC-MP: i still need a couple more spawns though.

BORO Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 maybe u should ask zircon, he somehow used the same character images as in mta for his .3 remake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erorr404 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 maybe u should ask zircon, he somehow used the same character images as in mta for his .3 remake interesting, i'll ask if i see him in IRC. i finished doing the spawns, weapons, and vehicles at the spawns. there are 5 bases right now (the ones in the pic above), but i might decide to add more later. if i do add any, they won't have boats as all of the good ones near the water are taken. all i have left to do is place vehicles throughout the city, and i just finished digging up all the parked vehicle coordinates (from single player) from the .SCM. that should make my job a lot easier. anyway, i am still open to suggestions, if anyone still cares about this.
