Catalyst Gaming's Deathrun
Ladies and Gentelmen, I am happy to annouce that Catalyst Gaming Deathrun is on the run.
Over the past few days, I have been working on a deathrun gamemode for Catalyst Gaming, and today we are announcing it.

But Crap-Head, what is Deathrun???
Deathrun is a game based on two teams, The Runners and The Deaths.
The goal of the runners is to complete the map and make it to the end where they will be given a gun so that they can kill the deaths.
The thing is, it's not that easy. The deaths will do ANYTHING to prevent the runners from completing the map, such as deadly traps that the Runners have to get past!
Some of the traps are hidden very well, so always have an eye open!

Some of the features:
  • A huge store that sells: Hats, Heads, Masks, Trails and Player Models
  • A nice and simple HUD
  • Round System
  • Earn points by killing an enemy or by winning a round
  • VIP System
  • Chat Tags
  • A slightly customized sandbox scoreboard (Custom one is something we are planning to do)
And more to come!


With the VIP system comes VIP benefits.

VIP Benefits:
  • Unlimited ammo for the M4A1 at the end of the map
  • 100 Armor
  • A VIP tag in the chat
  • A VIP tag in the scoreboard
        And more to come!

Media is always a big part of a thread, so I wont let this end without some pictures!

At the end of each map, the gun is there spinning around

This looks cool. Can't wait to see some of the traps.

Maybe this could replace one of the less-used gamemodes, like harbor RP or GMR... I rarely see anyone playing those anymore.

Few things on the VIP page:

- Fix the spelling of "appreciate"
- Change anything to do with "buying VIP" to "donating for VIP". Nobody "buys" anything, as that could be considered against the law.

These pictures were taken befor Max spell checked everything. So that "appreciate" is already fixed.

Alright. Ive changed it all now.

No, it's absolutely not. Crap-Head completely coded it himself, along with help from Its Max Blad.

Looks great Crap-Head. Glad to see it's done, can't wait to try it out!

Oh, okay I didn't think so. I knew Crap-Head was a good coder and stuff didnt think he would do that and call it his.

I see your point. But there is only so much you can do with deathrun.

That doesn't mean that code has been copied though

Who told you that this was Sassilizations Deathrun? Because it is not. Its completely coded from the ground.

Nothing in the gamemode is copied from any other Deathrun.

Also i forgot about the Point Shop (Sorry _Undefined). The original PS was done by that guy. The OCDM version will probably follow in the next few updates.

Oh yea btw, expect a release on monday or thuseday.

While we are working on the gamemode, we have done some fixes and changes.

Here is a short list:

Added Taunts. VIP Benefit
Taunt Menu
(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2556/tauntr.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/f/190/tauntr.jpg/)
Taunt menu without VIP
(http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/4656/tauntnovip.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/f/685/tauntnovip.jpg/)
Yes, i spelled "Taunts" wrong in the menu tab. Sorted it lol.
Fixed Spectators and Deads being any to press any of the trap buttons.
Fixed Spawns. game.CleanUpMap() used to clear the spawns, it doesnt do that anymore.
Fixed The general menu is now centered for everybody.
Fixed Only runners can pick up the M4 at the end.
Added Incase there is 2 players on the runners team and the player on the deaths team leaves, the round will restart.
Changed Deads and spectators cannot use the flashlight.

There are other minor fixes, but this is all i can remember.

Ive uploaded the content pack. Here is a link: http://filesmelt.com/dl/Deathrun_Content.zip
Once the server is set up, this will all be uploaded to the FastDL, but i still recommend downloading the content.
The content will also be put on the download list as soon as a forum dev gets around it.

We are working on the last small things now such as a little voteskip system (incase the entire server dislikes the map they are playing and no colliding players so they do not stuck in eachother on spawn)
Title: Re: Catalyst Gaming Deathrun
Post by: Its Max Blad on May 15, 2011, 02:49:59 PM
I just made and fixed the voteskip system, you should now be able to type either:
Code: [Select]
!voteskip
/voteskip
Into chat and it will announce to everyone that you have voteskipped, and when it gets to having more than half of the players in the server you will be notified and a sound will play before the map changes 4 seconds later

:)

Will working on the Deathrun (still freaking attempting to make players no collide with eachother ive made a little nice thing for you gold people at Catalyst Gaming.

Gold Member
No propper gold color

Gold Member was original first planned for the first update but as i got tired if trying to make players no collide with eachother, i just decided to create the gold system already.

Gold members will have to be added manually but as a start, admins will be able to make your rank "Gold Member" so you shuld be added pretty quick.
(Btw, everything is manually, so your VIPs will also have to be added manually)

Also we had a little problem with the teams, at times, everybody was added to the deaths team (useally when a runner suicide). Ive added a temp fix for this so that if this happens, the round will restart.

We might just need to rename Cosmos FM now that it is being integrated into CGDR...

Anyway, hopefully the host will quit derping me and actually issue me a license for the new system, else I will need to reconsider.  Hopefully will have the link for you soon Crap

Can't wait for this to come out, way to go guys. I've never coded anything before, but I have made maps before on Source SDK so I know what you guys have to go through to make those maps. Again, great job.
