Hi, I was hoping that someone would be gracious enough to make or help me make an InstaGib mod for Tremulous. I'm asking because I have absolutely no skills when it comes to any type of programming.

Logically, this mod shouldn't be too hard to make; Just an instant kill weapon(s). I don't need H vs. H, I'll simply lock the other team. So if anyone is willing, please PM me about it.

Thanks and have a nice day!

P.S. - For those who read this and would like to complain/flame/or just be plain hateful, I'm sorry that I wasted a whole minute of your life. Please forgive me $:-\$

Why play Tremulous if you want this?

Just have a gang of friends play OpenArena or something.

I don't like OpenArena whatsoever and Unreal Tournament is getting old. Theres something unique about Tremulous, I don't know what it is but I keep coming back. Oh and I'd like to try something old but with a new twist....sort of.

UT3. 'Nuff said.

Just edit tremulous.h and set all the damages to 999, then recompile. It's the easiest mod you could possibly make. (No I'm not doing it for you) :p

@ Death On Ice: I have UT3 but my computer isn't quite capable of playing it anywhere above 25-30fps.

@ Lakitu7: Umm yeah...about that...nevermind, I'm off to Google! Thanks btw, much appreciated.

You'd need some gibs. Instagib just isn't right without the gibs. Play some Nexuiz if you want to wallow in the entrails of yourself and others...

You're looking for one of the build guides for your platform on these forums. If you use Linux you probably already know, so thus you're likely looking for Risujin or Vcxzet's guides for Windows, or Benmachine's guide for Macs.

Mmmm gibs...

Yeah, I've glanced at those guides but never read them. Using WinXP as my main OS as of now.

Drop me a pm, I had to do some compiling on WinXP recently so its fresh-in-mind, Ill also help you with damage alterations and possibly other "tiny" things.

Btw, its not a mod, it can be quite simply compiled in server-side only QVM, or am I wrong here?

Taiyo.uk · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2008, 09:29:23 am »

Building trem SVN on Ubuntu was relatively painless (partly due to apt-get build-deps tremulous that automatically installs all of the build dependencies) but the makefile should work on any recent Linux system, though I had to do some manual dependency chasing on Fedora. You may be able to use MinGW to build on Windows platforms.

In my opinion, I would never play that mod because aliens could never play, ever.

I dont like the idea of human vs human Tremulous.

HamStar · « **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2008, 10:28:14 pm »

Didn't the [T] MD Arena server have players that exploded when they died?

+1, ruins the point of the game.

InstaGib would break the balance of the game. Even considering that both humans and aliens only need one shot, the humans would still have the advantage of having long range weapons. Aliens would simply be killed on approach. Also, InstaGib sounds more like CTF.

The main point here is that it falls out of the philosophy of the game. So lets leave InstaGib for Unreal (and CTF as well, although gibs flying over the place would be fun).

Of course you can still make the mod, but will anybody use it? Of course, proposing it for trem servers would be much worse. As far as I'm concerned, plain trem is enough. Trem is meant to be a strategy game, not a brute force one like unreal.

Instagib just doesn't fit Tremulous gameplay. Try Warsow's instagib, it's pretty popular, specially ictf, itdm and ica.

Lol, g_instaGib, calls the explode function (in my qvm), and blows people up.

Would be funny, but useless. I dont think i will implement it

Overdose · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2008, 10:13:09 am »

To those of you who said this would "ruin gameplay" or "don't like human vs. human" - I requested this so I could play it on my server with a select group of players. I know that leaving out the entire other team is stupid, and thats why its just a simple mod for a simple person.

I feel much more comfortable playing Trem than I do in any other game; The very simplistic menu system, easy-to-use console and low system requirements, etc...
