Very good work with this game.
I hope to see someone host a server with it to see how well it performs in multiplayer.

guys, i'm making a temporary server, but i need (at least) two team captains. volunteer!

UPD: I have failed to understand how to 'capture' the flag. it won't let me dig it. it's like "you're not part of a team". but i am!

[rubenwardy]

[h]Updated[/h]

• Fixed flag disappear bug
• Expanded /team command

[Mito551]

I guess I still can't get the enemy's flag.

Why not?

You need to be on an opposing team that is at war with the team you are attacking

Just click the flag and a message will come up "team has captured team's flag at (x,y)"

If it says "you are not part of a team!" then one of these conditions is wrong:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if cf.players and cf.team(team) and cf.player(player) and cf.player(player).team then

What messages are you getting?

If none, it might be to do with cf.area.get_flag(pos) not returning a result or cf.area.get_flag(pos).team not being defined.

[Mito551]

i get "you're not part of a team"
i tried making myself a team owner and just a member of a team - nothing helps.

[rubenwardy]

[Idanwin]

Is there any server running this?

[rubenwardy]

Is there any server running this?

Not at the moment, it is still in active development.

I will eventually (maybe in September) run my own City vs City server using this.

[Jace]

rocket items crash your game

[rubenwardy]

That is a problem with kaeza's mod.

[LandMine]

Game Crashes when you try to add an owner to a team, is there a way to do this within the ctf.txt manually?

[Jace]

can the maker make it more stable

[rubenwardy]

Game Crashes when you try to add an owner to a team, is there a way to do this within the ctf.txt manually?

You have to set auth=1 on the players table. It might be hard to find though. It'll look like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

_[6]{ ['name'] = "landmine", ['team'] = "teamname", ['auth'] = 1}

Try searching for the user name in the file, maybe. I will try and fix that, and fix other bugs.

It needs more stability (this game mode does).

Was there a crash message?

[rubenwardy]

Fixed a bug with /team join player team

[banninga.j.m]

Does this game support more than two teams?

[rubenwardy]

It supports infinite teams in theory, however there is only three colors of flags given with the mod.
You could make your own flags.

How Do I Shoot?! Guns are not functioning even with ammo in the item selector!

[Krock]

Try to reload the guns

[maier.nathan]

Hi,
I am trying to add a player to a default team when a new player join. Any ideas how?
there's minetest.register_on_newplayer. This is for a subgame.
Thanks very much,
Bikemare
