Title: Games
Post by: Nosliw on November 19, 2012, 06:41:23 AM

Games
With the new game system, we have introduced automated games into IDP, so far we have:

• Spleef
• Capture the Flag
  
  • Domination
  • Fortress Defence
  This thread will explain how to start a game, and what to do in them. The command to manage a game is /game, this allows you to start, stop, look up and limit games, here is the command structure:
  
  • /game [-listTypes (-lt)] [-listGames (-lg)] [-start <Game Type>] [-end] [-limitWin (-lw) <amount>]
  Each game has its own requirments, which will be explained later within this thread.

  Capture The Flag
  
  Quote

  Description
  Capture The Flag is a team based game focused on "Capturing" the opposing team's flag, while at the same time keeping your own flag safe. To score a point you need to bring the opposing team's flag to your base and "Capture" it, but this WILL require teamwork, as any flag carrier will be slower than normal.
  
  Requirements
  Before starting the game, these are the requirements:
  

  • You must be on a lot/sublot.
  • The lot must have the following sublots:
    
    • 1 x Blue Base (Lot Name: "BlueBase")
      
      • Must be fully inside the main lot.
      • Must be no more than ONE.
      • This lot's Spawn point is where Blue Team Respawns
    • 1 x Red Base (Lot Name: "RedBase")
      
      • Must be fully inside the main lot.
      • Must be no more than ONE.
      • This lot's Spawn point is where Red Team Respawns
    • 1 x Blue Flag (Lot Name: "BlueFlag")
      
      • Must be a Sublot within "BlueBase"
      • Red Flag MUST BE 1x1x1 (y-axis)
      • Must be no more than ONE.
    • 1 x Red Flag (Lot Name: "RedFlag")
      
      • Must be a Sublot within "RedBase"
      • Blue Flag MUST BE 1x1x1 (y-axis)
      • Must be no more than ONE.

  
  Starting the game
  To start the game, you must be the lot owner, players must be INSIDE either the red or blue base, if players are outside when the game starts, they will not be added. The players team is determined by what colour base they stand in. Each team requires a minimum of 2 players in order for the game to begin, however the teams do not need to be balanced. After all the players are in position, you need to decide if you wish to limit the game to a certain number of points. Then you type the following command:
  

  • /game -start CTF -lw <amount>

  The -lw trigger is for a score limitation, without this the game will continue until there are not enough players for it to. The game should now begin, all players will respawn in their respective Bases with a Bow, 6 Arrows, and a Sword (with a chance to get a better weapon). You can then go to fight, capture flags and try to win the game :)
  
  Scoring Points
  To score points, you will need to work together with your team to bring the enemy's flag to your base and left click your own flag. If your flag is stolen from your base you and/or your team will need to find whoever stole your flag, kill them, and bring your flag back to it's spawn point before you can "Capture" the other team's flag. Teamwork in Capture The Flag is critical to succeeding, as you'll need to work together to protect the flag carrier.
  
  Other Rules that should be known
  A few other game features that should be known that might not be obvious at first.
  
  

  • Carrying a Flag will slow you down, making it easier for the other team to stop you
  • Any "Dropped" flag will return to it's respective base if it isn't picked up after 30 seconds
  • If a player has Red or Blue wool on their head, they are in possession of that flag
  • If you kill a player in possession of a flag they will drop it where they died
  • If the area where a flag is dropped isn't adequate for the flag (3 vertical air blocks), it will return to it's respective base instead
  • These are the chances of getting a better Sword:
  • Wooden Sword: Default Sword
  • Stone Sword: 1:4
  • Iron Sword: 1:8
  • Gold Sword: 1:16
  • Diamond Sword: 1:32

  
  Ending the game
  The game will end when the score limit is reached, or there are not enough players on each team to continue. If a player leaves the arena, or logs out, they will exit the game, and their inventory will be returned to them. When the game ends, it will tell you the score and and who is on each time, as well as which team wins. The game will NOT hand out prizes.
  

  
  Domination
  
  Quote

  Description
  Domination is a PvP based game, that involves capturing control points and scoring points. You score points in order to win, you gain 1 point for every time you kill a member of the other team. You also gain 1 point every 30 seconds for each control point that your team owns. The winner is the first team to a set amount. You can use whatever methods of battle you wish, and use the Team Chat feature (putting '#' at the start of your chat) to discuss battle plans.
  
  Requirments
  Before starting the game, these are the requirments:
  

  • You must be on a lot/sublot.
  • The lot must have the following sublots:
    
    • 1 x Blue Base (Lot Name: "BlueBase")
      
      • Must be fully inside the main lot.
      • Must be no more than ONE.
    • 1 x Red Base (Lot Name: "RedBase")
      
      • Must be fully inside the main lot.
      • Must be no more than ONE.
    • 1 x Lobby (Lot Name: "Lobby")
      
      • Must be fully inside the main lot.
      • Must be no more than ONE.
      • It needs to contain at least 1 valid [Class] sign.
    • 3 x Capture Points (Lot Name: YOUR_OWN_NAME)

      • Capture Points cannot be within the Red or Blue base.
      • Capture points MUST BE 1x1x1 (y-axis)
      • Capture points will be named whatever you want.
  • There must be NO other sublots on the lot.

  
  Starting the game
  To start the game, you must be the lot owner, players must be INSIDE either the red or blue base, if players are outside when the game starts, they will not be added. The players team is determined by what colour base they stand in. Each team requires a minimum for 1 player in order for the game to begin, however the teams do not need to be balanced. After all the players are in position, you need to decide if you wish to limit the game to a certain number of points. Then you type the following command:
  

  • /game -start Domination -lw<amount>

  The -lw trigger is for a score limitation, without this the game will continue until there are not enough players for it to. The game should now begin, each player will be placed in the Lobby, where you can click [Class] signs in order to choose your class, you will then be given the correct equipment and begin the game. You can then go to fight, capture flags and try to win the game :)
  
  Choosing Classes
  When you are choosing your class (in the Lobby), you cannot be seen or harmed by other players, meaning that you appear to be the only player in the lobby (no distractions). To pick your class, you either right click the sign, or left click the item frame below the sign, these can be used to illustrate the class. A valid class sign would be formatted like so:
  

  • [Class]
  • Class_Name

  Once picking your class, you will be placed in your teams base, and ready to fight, and once you die again, you will be able to select your class again. You may also choose a random class by putting the class name as "Random", which will choose one of all of the classes and assign that to you randomly.
  
  Class List
  There are currently five classes, these are Warrior, Archer, Ninja, Mage and Medic. Each of these had their own advantages and disadvantages against each class, its best that you find out which one you prefer for yourself, however here is some basic information about each class and what they can do:
  

  • Warrior
    
    • Weapons: Iron Sword
    • Power Item: Stomping Boots (Iron Boots) - Knock away nearby enemies.
    • Srengths/Weaknesses: Heavy Bleeder - Take extra damage from arrows.
  • Archer
    
    • Weapons: Wooden Sword, Bow
    • Power Item: Speed Powder (Glowstone Dust) - Provides a 20 second speed boost, followed by 10 seconds of slowness.
    • Srengths/Weaknesses: N/A
  • Ninja
    
    • Weapons: Stone Sword, Ender Pearls - Teleport you to the location
    • Power Item: Invisible Powder (Sugar) - Makes the player invisible for 20 seconds.
      
      • Ends if the player gets hit by another player.
    • Srengths/Weaknesses: N/A
  • Mage
    
    • Weapons: Gold Sword - Sets target player on fire for 10 seconds.
    • Power Item: Poison Dust (Gunpowder) - Shoots a snowball that 'infects' a player for 5 seconds.
      
      • 'Infection' includes: Poison, Slowness & Blindness Effects.
    • Srengths/Weaknesses: N/A
  • Medic
    
    • Weapons: Wooden Sword, Golden Axe - Heals target player for 1 heart, and self for 1/2 heart.
    • Power Item: Empowering Dust (Redstone) - Empowers nearby allies with bonus effects.
      
      • 'Bonus Effects' includes: Speed, Jump Boost, Resistance & Night Vision Effects.
    • Srengths/Weaknesses: N/A

  
  Scoring Points
  To score points, you can either capture flags, or kill the other team. For every time you kill a member of the opposing team, your team gains 1 point, this is a slower way to gain points. The fastest way to gain points is to take over 'Capture Points', which will give you 1 point every 30 seconds each, as well as resupply you with power items (Red, Yellow, White & Grey) and consumables (Arrows & Ender Pearls). Capture points should be clearly marked by the map maker, such as ontop of a special block, Capture points start out as white wool, and when are captured, change to your teams colour, if the enemy then captures it, it becomes their teams colour. To capture one, simply stand within 3 blocks of the capture point for a period of time, the capture points will begin to flash if they are being captured, it is not possible to capture one if both teams are in range of the capture point. If you capture a point that has been captured by the other team, then you will first neutralize it (make it un-owned).
  
  Ending the game
  The game will end when the score limit is reached, or there are not enough players on each team to continue. If a player leaves the arena, or logs out, they will exit the game, and their inventory will be returned to them. When the game ends, it will tell you the score and and who is on each time, as well as which team wins. The game will NOT hand out prizes.

    Complications
    What makes this game hard? Well, for a start, when monsters spawn, they have increased spawn rates and will be given weapons!

    Difficulty Level
    What does (LEVEL) mean in the above? Well, there are 4 difficulty levels, Easy, Medium, Hard and Insane, each of these determine the amount of equipment that the monsters get, and hence, how difficult it becomes.

    • Medium: 2
    • Hard: 3
    • Insane: 4

A cluster of different types of blocks, 1 for each team, goal is to get to the other teams chunk and destroy their bed, last team with a player wins.

Ah, this is to be a game like CTF, that is run by IDP?

Title: Re: Games
Post by: TheReasoning on December 01, 2012, 12:27:56 AM

It is almost 100% run able in vanilla, the only thing the IDP is needed for is regenerating the arena once a game is finished.

For cluster chunk, thats not the only thing that would need to be done, you need to remember that when you die (unless Freebuild & FortWorld), you get sent to spawn, not your bed.. Also, if you fall into the void, you get sent to spawn, so there would need to be a little more than just arena generation to put it into IDP.

Updated the domination game.

The engineer class has been added to the game, engineers can place traps which explode when walked over by the enemy team, you cannot set of a trap that has been set by your team. The traps will not disapear unless they are disarmed by an enemy engineer using the wooden spade or the player dies/leaves the game. If the trap is disarmed or activated, the engineer who set the trap will be notified. Traps can only be seen by engineers, no other class can see them, however, engineers see traps set by their team as stone pressure plates, and traps set by enemy teams as wooden pressure plates.

You could also try a Counter Strike type game. One life per round, certain amount of rounds to win. It's like SnD without the bomb.

So, from what I have looked up, its a game involving 2 teams battling each other for survival in which you can purchase items and upgrades, after you die you become a spectator, when a round ends, survivors keep their upgrades, and those who died come back to life with their starter gear, and loose all their upgrades. The winning team is the one that scores highest, and score is achieved by killing the enemy team, is this correct and what you had in mind?

Title: Re: Games
Post by: l_iamW on January 09, 2013, 11:12:49 AM

We should have Search and Destroy. For those who do not know what it is its simple.


Theres one team who attack the Bomb and one defend. There is two Bomb Sites, A and B only one needs to be destroyed for the game to end. There are 6 members on each team (well in COD anyway) after you die you become a spectator. The attacking team can win by the Bomb exploding, the defending team would lose in that case but they will win if a certain amount of time goes off eg.5 mins so yer.... :)

That will be the idea, however we are currently adding new games, and developing others, we don't want to give out access to the command if it can be abused, for example to spawn items.

Updated the Domination game with changes to balance.

• Warriors take more damage from arrows, not less.
• Archers arrows deal less damage.
• Engineers cannot place traps with enemies nearby.
• Engineers cannot place traps next to each other.

Ghast Survival is not exactly the same as the one that admins have previously hosted. Instead, Ghasts spawn in waves, and the amount that spawn depend on the difficulty selected, Easy, Medium or Hard. You are given a set amount of materials that include a bow, some arrows and some food, when you die, you are out of the game, the winner is the one who has the highest score when the game ends. That is a basic overview of what I know, but I haven't looked into it much, so a tutorial will be posted later. :)

Title: Re: Games
Post by: Nosliw on March 04, 2013, 05:46:09 AM

Updated the thread with new Domination changes. However the new system makes it much easier for new classes to be made and used in other games. If you would like to design your own class and have it implemented, then fill out the details below:

Quote

Customisable Information

• Name - This should sum up your class in one or two words.
• Primary Weapon - This is highly customisable, so get it right!
  
  • Item Type - This is what the weapon looks like, it could be anything such as an apple, it doesn't matter, the damage is customise later, so make the item best show what the weapon does, if it has any special powers.
  • Item Attack Damage Rating - This isn't the amount of hearts done, this is the level of damage the weapon deals (see fomula below).
  • Post Attack Effect - Something that happens after the damage stage of an attack, such as set enemy on fire, or give the attacker health. They could (if you want) also work on allies, such as give the ally a boost or bonus. A weapon can have multiple effects and could have different uses for allies and enemies.
• Secondary Weapon/Tool - This is highly customisable too, so get it right!
  
  • Item Type - This is what the weapon/tool looks like, make sure it sums up its purpose well.
  • Activation Effect - This is what happens when you 'use' the tool, it doesn't have to be when you hit someone, things such as shoot arrow.
  • Item Attack Damage Rating - This isn't the amount of hearts done, this is the level of damage the weapon deals (see fomula below).
  • Post Attack Effect - Something that happens after the damage stage of an attack, such as set enemy on fire, or give the attacker health. They could (if you want) also work on allies, such as give the ally a boost or bonus. A weapon can have multiple effects and could have different uses for allies and enemies.
• Consumable - Little accessories for this class (little customisation here)!
  
  • Item Type - This would be something like arrows, ender pearls or potions.
  • Starting Amount - How many do you start with when spawn?
  • Increament Amount - How many do you get per restock? (see formula below)
  • Max Amount - How many is the maximum amount you can hold at one time?
• Bonus Item - The 'special effect' for this class!
  
  • Item Type - This could be anything, pick the most appropriate.
  • Item Effect - The main bulk, what does this item do when used? Anything from personal boosts to affecting nearby enemies or allies!
  • Starting Amount - How many do you start with when spawn?
  • Increament Amount - How many do you get per restock? (see formula below)
  • Max Amount - How many is the maximum amount you can hold at one time?
  • Cooldown Time - How often can you use this?/li]
    
• Defences - This is the defence value per item, for example:
  
  • Golden Swords - 20 (immune to golden swords)
  • Arrows - 0 (weak to arrows)
  • Default/Everything else - 2 (normal-ish)

Extra Information
The class you design is for all class-based games, so it can't have an effect such as 'teleport to the nearest flag' because not all games have flags, however something such as 'teleport home' or 'teleport to key location' might work! It is highly important to keep these classes generic, so effects that effect allies or yourself will work best!

Weapon damage has changed! It no longer works on basic hearts, so here is the formula:
damage = attack - (defence * blocking)

• Damage = Damage dealth, so 1 damage = 1 heart, 2 damage = 1 heart, 5 damage = 2.5 hearts.
• Attack = The damage the attacker does with that weapon, specified above.
• Defence = The defence value of that class against the attackers weapon, specified above.
• Blocking = If defender is blocking then 2, otherwise 1.

The next piece of information to consider is the restoking system, every 30 seconds, you get X amount of bonus items/consumables based on this:
X = flagsOwned * Increament Amount

Title: Re: Games
Post by: StarScythe7 on March 04, 2013, 07:43:44 PM

• Name - Hunter.
• Primary Weapon -
  
  • Item Type - Stone Sword.
  • Item Attack Damage Rating - Same as Ninja's Stone Sword +2 Damage (+1 Heart)
  • Post Attack Effect - None
• Secondary Weapon/Tool -
  
  • Item Type - Bow.
  • Activation Effect - None
  • Item Attack Damage Rating - Same as Archer
  • Post Attack Effect - None.
• Consumable -
  
  • Item Type - Arrows.
  • Starting Amount - 20
  • Increament Amount - 10
  • Max Amount - 64
• Bonus Item -
  
  • Item Type - None
  • Starting Amount - N/A
  • Increament Amount - N/A
  • Max Amount - N/A
  • Cooldown Time - N/A
• Defences - This is the defence value per item, for example:
  
  • Same as Ninja

I guess you could say this class would be kind of like a combination of Warrior and Archer, the trade off though is that you really don't get any special effects.

Title: Re: Games
Post by: Nosliw on March 06, 2013, 05:53:33 AM

This sounds like an archer that gains a more powerful sword rather than speed boost, although I am not sure what the defense stats are for Ninja compared to archer at this time. Although I will say it saddens me that it has no special ability, those are the most fun ;)

Could I get some other peoples opinions on it? I think it seems like a generic or default & non-specialist class, however I would lower the damage on the bow a little bit to balance it somewhat.

Title: Re: Games
Post by: Nosliw on April 17, 2013, 06:19:34 AM

Updated, added the new Fortress Defrence game (Next Update)

• When you die, you BECOME a monster!
• More details within main post!

As for making you appear as a mob, impossible to do.. The closest I can get is give you a mob head and maybe some coloured armour? Although I'm not sure that would have much effect.. And I agree, Skeletons shifting looks hilarious!

Although the /game command is lowered to VIP, individual games have their own permissions.  The only game that non-staff can start at the moment is Spleef. The rest have custom inventories and risk players accessing spawned items, they need to be finalized.

That was where I got inspiration from, and I have openly admitted that, its a game that I really like the idea of. There are some differences however as there are some aspects of the game that I don't like or think should be done differently.
