Simple Rules for game mode (Server coming soon or until I can get a network part):

No flying.
Be fair.
Don't take everything out of the team's chests.
No use of /give.
Mods are allowed. (Excluding Nuke Mod)
Destroying the spawn area. (These should be unbreakable and not part of the castle / base.)
No flooding mines with lava. (it maybe PvP, but they won't get out in time.)
Mesecon traps are not allowed. (E.g. pistons hiding lava pools, unless you are playing no holds barred.)

why don't I (or someone) make a server with two teams, (pvp on) where there are two bases, when each player is killed, they leave the server, and when the leader is destroyed (you can heal, no mods allowed.) the opposite team wins, I am thinking of making a mod for this, (with inbuilt AI idk about LUA doing this, but I will try) but also a server. Throwing mod included as well as guns. (Not NukeMod, that would be cheating.)

Just one more thing:

the bases can be any size you like, (edit) and i may make a mod SO THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS EQUAL AMOUNTS OF TEAM PLAYERS, this also goes up to -31000 and 31000) fixing the base and making more parts is fine, (no cowardice, srsly, never in this sort of game mode.

I could do this in LUA, but forking and doing C++ seems better.

Any questions?

Later I will simplify and add some screenshot ideas.

EDIT2: Some ideas come from RTS games.

EDIT3: When one base is dead, and the team wins, the map will re vert or use another one.

Quite a nice idea...although I am a sucker for RTS games ^_^

Good Idea!
I could join 1 of the Teams or Record the whole Match and upload Videos

It's like Team Deathmatch (from CoD) with resource gathering from Age of Empires (or Mythology), Team Fortress 2 (you could have certain bonuses like mine faster or harder to break tools each tiime you start.) and a little Halo (e.g. JETPACKS!!!!!!!!!!)

@sfan5: filming is such an idea, it could be called MineTest Warfare (and any Machinima's or Commentary and so on.)

@Dannydark, I would know where to start, maybe #Minetest-delta

EDIT: I found this made by Notch (yes I think this flash game is cool!)

I can record, too. The more people the better.

Also, are you saying that players who are killed are kicked from the server? I think some sort of freecam for dead players would be better.

thats genius!

You would need to turn off free_move before you could seriously think about doing this.

If someone dies the Build Privilege could Be disabled and free_Move allowed

Ok freecam it is for about 5 seconds, then you can fight on.

EDIT fly too high and when the time ends, you will fall and die. (fall damage.)

EDIT 2 When you die, you lose your inventory.

Do you want the .svg ?

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2012 17:37**

Nah, I'm fine!

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2012 17:40**

I can try to write an C++ Jetpack Mod.
Should I do that?

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2012 18:42**

yeah, so no one can fly forever!

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2012 16:19**

I give up, I cant get Jetpacks working

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2012 17:38**

Hmm...

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2012 17:55**

Maybe we can play without Jetpacks

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2012 20:41**

yeah, we could make ladder towers!

A few feature suggestions for this to work,
1. There should be different colored player textures, otherwise it would be very hard to tell teams apart, and
2. Currently there is no such thing as a "sneak attack" or "stealth", because you can always see the player name through anything.

Posted: **Fri Feb 03, 2012 05:16**

Questions:
1: What about other mesecon traps, ones such as pitfalls, changing terrain (pistons pushing up blockages to change the passage ways of the base)
2: If I were to change my Secret Passages mod to fit better with texture packs ect. Would that be used?
3: If yes to 2, would using them for lava pits be allowed? XP

1. We could use 3-D player.

2. Ill look into this.

#1 Per-player texture support for MT would be amazing.
#2 I agree the sneak (shift) does need to hide the player name and when sounds are added reduce the step sounds volume.
