  • Command Posts - New game mode!
  •  

    Scattered across the map are command posts - large floating squares that serve as spawn points for your team.

    A neutral command post over Normandie: http://i.imgur.com/H6e77.png

    The color of a command post tells you who controls it. A white command post is neutral, nobody controls them.

    Stand under a command post to start capturing it. An indicator in your chat shows you your progress of the capture.

    The more players on your team you have under a command post, the faster it is captured.

    Your team wins when your enemy has no more command posts left!

    By default you randomly spawn at one of the command posts your team controls. The closer the command post is to a neutral or enemy command post, the more likely you will spawn there.

    You can use /post GRIDCOORDINATE (ex: /post B4) to manually select which command post you will spawn at.

    Server admins

    Download the script

    Download the modified rollback

    This script needs some changes to be compatible with rollback. You only need to download this if you use rollback on your server.

    Logged in admins can use the /markers command to refresh the command post markers, should one be accidentally destroyed for some reason.

    Running /markers COORDINATE will refresh only the marker in that coordinate.

    Update 1:
    Cleaned the code up, markers rebuild at a slower rate, running /markers or the marker reset after a rollback will reset the markers one at a time rather than all at once. Markers can now take an optional coordinate parameter.

    @mrt8062

    I don't think you understand. The script already exists and is being hosted on an aloha server. I think this will be publicly released with the next pyspades server (I need to talk to mat^2 about that)

    This is exactly what I want, but I feel like the indicator's are wayyyy too big and visible.

    After much deliberation (not) I have decided to release this publicly.

    @[Komrade]Nowa90
    The marker has to be at the top level of the map to make sure that it is always visible from the map.

    Awesome, looks pretty fun. The sky markers were a great idea!

    Some things, though.

    on_block_destroy is swallowing the event, which is sure to break any other scripts that come after. Make sure you do "return connection.on_block_destroy(self, x, y, z, mode)". And you'll need to clean up the code quite a bit before it has a chance to get bundled with pyspades. You can read PEP8 (boring) or just observe the practices in the existing codebase.

    so is it where just your presense captures it, or is it you need to build/grief like the other one to do it?

    You just have to stand in the area (below the square in the sky), and in the chat it will show a bar which has blue--->neutral--->green on it. To capture the post you have to wait until the | gets to whichever side you're on (blue or green). You do not have to do any building or destroying.

    You've made the game infinitely better than ben has. You should purchase it off of him or something.

    also, like Star Wars Battlefront, there should be a countdown to victory so that the enemy team has a slight chance of recapture before they lose.

    The server address doesn't work for anyone if it's Zher's server for some reason... I'll give it anyway: aos://558804550

    Edit: Wait what? It works...
