http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijgrBzQ7-M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijgrBzQ7-M) A short promo video for my Tremulous mod-in-progress. There is also a development server (711chan.org:20202) So, please go check it out, and reply with what you think could make it better!
Already on the to-do list:
new maps
fix spawn invulnerability time
add sound effects
add killing spree/kill combo/etc messages
teams
-
Looks intersting, but the quality is so low in that video, it is impossible to see any gibs. Looks just like g_knockback set to 9999
-
Well, there's no actual gibs yet :p and the knockback is at 1500.
-
Honestly I think the look of them rocketing off into space is 10000x funnier than gibs could ever be.
-
I'm attempting to encode a better quality new promo vid.. :D

Nice, is it up on a server yet?

Yes, that footage is from the server, last night actually eheh.
-
Spelling mistake, it is EXPLODE, not ASPLODE.
So far so good, but what is with the suicide after you run out of ammo?
-
Nice!
Now the MD has to shoot this giant lazer so you can see where it came from :D

Actually there's existing code for that. Look in the MGDev SVN at an old revision. That was tried and disliked for 1.2., but could be what you need here.

That was intentional by Arch, for silly purposes.
-
Dracone got it right. That was Pandy's idea, actually.

Might i suggest posting the videos to google video. They let you upload a whole lot larger files
-
i think the 'trick' to have videos show up in good quality is to convert your vides to flv at the right resolution yourself
i haven't tried myself, but that's my best guess
-
Haha hell yeah for you choosing the screenshots where I'm on top :)
-
I just played this (in my own map, no less) and I found this to be rediculously fun and addictive. Inaki/Arch has been kind enough to run my experimental Instagib map (ig_chaos_b1) on his server, and everyone seems to like it. This is one mod that I can actually *play* on dialup, even if my aim does suck.
-
Admittedly I thought it sounded like an awful idea at first, but after playing some games, I must say that Instagib is really quite a lot of fun. I think supertanker's map is great for it, too. I can't wait to get the chance to play the mod with that map and a good number of players.
It's really great how there's suddenly a rash of gametypes for Trem. Risujin gave us Dom and Relics back in the day, but now suddenly we're seeing working mods for Deathmatch and Instagib, while there're others working to bring us Tower Defense, and people have been trying to do Assault-type maps for a long time. Really it's all gotten me quite excited too and I got unlazy enough to code my own new gametype mod, premiering very soon (Look forward to it: no details until then :)).
Hats-off to everyone who's bringing us new and fun ways to enjoy Tremulous. New gametype mods are infinitely more interesting than admin-abuse and messed-up-balance "mods." Let us hope to see this great surge of creativity continue and enjoy its fruits.

It's in alpha with a working mod, just that nero needs some time before he will even start coding on anything.

Can I has some hints on what kind of gametype is it going to be???

Referring to Equilibrium Mod/QVM?
*cough*/me goes and gets cough syrup

Yea, "Balance" mod didn't quite live up to its namesake, but it sure tried.
High-quality objective maps seem to be missing. (I'm talking brushes and such, not game-play) Well, we can still continue to wait around for the long-coveted Siege.
Objective-based maps also have tended to be either puzzle or trickjump-based. No objectives that actually make much sense. If you want an idea of objectives that make sense, play *gasp* W:ET.
-

Oi, I removed the stupid not-balance-at-all changes somewhere around 2.6.
-
I played a few games on this last night, and I love it. =D
Great work to Arch for the mod, and Super for the map.
If you haven't tried this yet, go play it now. :laugh:
-
I had a game too with a friend and after we finished playing we decided we wanted to put it on our server too..
Is there a place where we can download and try it?
-
Ugliest bump map ever.
-
Your server is down at the moment?
-
At the moment, I no longer have the resources to host the development Tremulous server (see: http://www.711chan.org/ newspost... )
-
Looks like a very well done mod, congrats. :)
The only problem is that this mod, along with a lot of the new mod ideas, isn't Tremulous anymore. Why would we play this mod instead of Warsow instagib or Nexuiz instagib? A Tremulous mod needs to use Tremulous gameplay elements.
I won't claim my mods succeeded in this regard either. Despite being open source and so easily accessible, Tremulous really is an atrocious game for modding. :-\
-
Instagibbing turrets.
-
@ Risujin - Well, so you don't have to close trem and open nexuiz? :D I don't know, it's just some C practice. I'm terrible at C.
@ Paradox - um... overkill.
-
@ Paradox - um... overkill.
Don't mention 0v3rk1ll, he's in my clan and he's not as great as an instagib turret would be.

I don't think he was referring to the player overkill (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~brain/0verkill/)
:D
-
The server is back up!
oceanlab.psychomatic.us:20202 or Instagib Server in the server list.
I need somebody who is proficient with C to assist me in moving backwards and making the aliens humans once again (merging ioq3's teams code into tremulous)
So, email me please, or PM me here. lily@psychomatic.us
-
Couldn't you simply change the team command to redirect every player in the human team ?
-
I want to have a blue team versus a red team, not an FFA.
-
Make instagib a q3 mod instead of a trem mod.
-
This is a little late in coming, but...
Nice mod! Good job making it server-side only.
-
Make instagib a q3 mod instead of a trem mod.
But then Tremulous players wouldn't play it ;)
-
Make instagib a q3 mod instead of a trem mod.
There are already several instagib mods for every version of Quake, even Quake Wars.
-
I went to your server...
Blaster Instakills!! O_O
Map lags... 13 fps!!! O_O
Funny!! O_O
Not bad
-
wait, so does the blaster shot arrive instantly and kill with 1 hit?
if so, what's the point? its like railguns galore
-
The mass driver is the instakill hitscan weapon. I don't know about the blaster.
-
The blaster was just a test to see if it'd work properly, and I don't like it. It's not in the latest version of the qvm (not up yet.)
-
I've meaning to congratulate you on your success. Even if I go play Warsow, it still won't be Tremulous. Try to get your server as active as possible. Make it real, make it yours.
-
Maybe its a bump(who knows) but i wanna know if there are any news about this mod
-
Hellish necro sir. Yes, there is still a server up. It's called [][][][][][] mdG+Instagib.
-
Hahaha...boxes... ::)
-
I mean.. i want the source code/patch
-
Once I finish recreating it and refining a few little things, I'll put a patch up.
-
Then... can you post all your changes here? i wanna see your work
-
Well... you didn't give me the code so I coded it myself. It's running on TremSpain server.
Some features(that i think are new 'not in IG mod'):
- All players spawn as human with larmour and MD( 5 ammo )
- Every 10 sec you get ammo if it's lower than 5
- When you kill someone you get ammo(3)
- When player spawns he sees bubbles arround him and gets: 2 sec of God mode & they can't shot in the first sec(spawnkilling)
- ESD at 15, nodes explode(not eggs)
You can test it by using /callvote instagib. A random map will be chosen and in next match instagib will be on.
Sorry about my english
-
Yeah, if original Instagib is similar to TremSpain's one, it must be awesome. I recorded demo from TremSpain server at map 1984b4 (you can download it here (http://obliter8.com/files/o8/downloads/tremulous/maps/map-1984b4.pk3)). This map is really good one for playing instagib.
Demo can be downloaded here: http://patrz.pl/?391552 (click "[DOWNLOAD] Zapisz na dysku").
When you kill someone you get ammo(3)
It think it would be better if you get yours victim's ammo.

larmour is useless - instagib is 'instant'.
- Every 10 sec you get ammo if it's lower than 5
Encourages camping. You get +2 ammo if you get a kill.
- When you kill someone you get ammo(3)
This AND the ammo gain isn't good.
- When player spawns he sees bubbles arround him and gets: 2 sec of God mode & they can't shot in the first sec(spawnkilling)
Same thing, except three seconds, and no bubbles.
- ESD at 15, nodes explode(not eggs)
IG games are 10 minutes. What's ESD?
You can test it by using /callvote instagib. A random map will be chosen and in next match instagib will be on.
Sorry about my english

ESD is extreme sudden death. Basically a hypercrapped version of sudden death.
-
I must say I prefer ACKMAN's version. It's fun as hell, and the instagib map is just AWESOME.
PS: You forgot to say the !CP we get when we do a frag ;) Helps a lot if someone around dies and it hasn't been you, so you know you're in danger.
-

Yeah, in regular games ESD sucks so much i agree, but in TS' instagib it's awesome (check out my demo).
Encourages camping.
I see no point in camping for ammo, it wont give you frags or fun, better idea is to kill other players. Gaining free ammo is helpful when you have 1 -2 "bullets" left. I personally haven't seen anyone "camping for ammo" yet.. In those few games.
larmour is useless - instagib is 'instant'.
But humies look much more cooler with larmour than without it :police:
-
Larmour -->> reduces damage when falling
Bubbles -->> i mean... player doesn't see it. Other players do( can't explain why )
God Mode -->> defends players from spawn camping; usually, if a player spawns an there is a hummie in his back... he dies. With this i think you can kill your attacker
Ammo Regeneration -->> if no ammo player dies... so... this will help players to stay alive
I forgot: When you kill someone you get msg 'You fragged X'
--------------- Thank you
-
I like mdg's method: run out of ammo and you explode :D
-
Now all we need is teleporting nodes
-
In my mod if no ammo you die too (no xplission, maybe can cause lag)
BTW good idea amanieu... i dont have the patch but ill search
-

Spawnprotection, should be like 5 seconds.
"The respawn gods protected X to get killed by Z"
-
2 secs are good, we tested it and works. In 5 sec you can shot 5 times --->>> 5 kills
-

explosion is fine, i've had ~15 players in a very heated battle with no lag whatsoever, and i have a terrible system.
-
On TremSpain we get to be 30, so I don't think is a good idea Ackman :/
-
Well...
-Node teleport
-MD has splash damage(you can do little md jumps)
-
I'd like to see humans explode like aliens' buildings when you kill them
-
done :O
-

Does that happen? Do really humans explode? That may be amazing!
-
they do when they have no ammo for few secs, Ackman wants to hurt players near exploding humie :O
-
**Is mixing P-G's !explode and no ammo suicide
-
Hell yes. I absolutely love instagib. Any servers around with it atm? I couldn't spot the word instagib anywhere when I looked.
-
Maybe if you go to TremSpain they still have the mod, but I haven't worked on it or hosted a server for it in many months (re: this topic hasn't been posted in since last year)
-
Yes, in TremSpain you can play it by calling a vote. /callvote instagib - random map will be chosen.
BTW Archangel, you should try it out. I did a lot of changes and it works fine. It has a little bug in the last days but I'm fixing it.
I'm thinking about make a "promo" video too xD
__
IIIII clan also did a version of this mod. I don't really like their but... well it's because i have my own version.
EDIT: Oh ftw players explode when no ammo :O if you run out of ammo just try to touch someone and explode :D
-
Yeah, I had that in my initial version, they would suicide with nade explosions. Maybe if you could supply me with a patch?
-
I have no patch here... er... no. xD
If you wanna see the !explode code(which i copied to make IG explossions) you can go to P-G google code page
-
I wrote my own explosion patch, I mean a patch for the entire Instagib mod, if that's quite at all possible :)
-
Nope, i don't have any patch now. I do a lot of changes every week so i see it useless
