New Mod IDEA: TowerDefence (wc3)

[techhead]

Rockets don't really seem like 'Trem' to me...
Make it shoot lucifer cannon projectiles instead, same stats and damage.
And probably should turn FF off...

[Divmax]

Might wanna make it so that when you upgrade it the bbox increases, although you might need a check so that it won't increase when a player is nearby and make the player stuck. Or is this already implemented?

Added new Weapon

it looks a little bit weird =) here you can have a look, what i've done already (the rocket tower will be an additional tower=))
just changed the weapon mode of the MG tower to test it

Holy shit.
That is crazy awesome. Though I hope it isn't so crazy that it becomes impossible to play (aka FPS issues).

[Divmax]

FPS issues will become real with those rockets.

Epic win, reminds me of Xeno Tactics (if you havnt played the game play it, it might give a last minute idea or two ) http://www.onlinegamesquad.com/index.php?1085-1

[nerowinger]

bbox increase is planned, only have to look how to do it xD
the rocket tower will at the end be only a small part of towers...
i have to make the explosions smaller or erease them  =)
in an standard trem game this rockets would be a very unbalanced weapon =) everything bigger than a dretch would loose 100 hp on every single shot

That is ridiculously addicting. Asshole :p

Looks nice but it also looks like theres too much going on, in the video all i saw was flying stuff and explosions and it was confsing me, maybe make a video of the first stages so people can gather how it builds up?

[Divmax]

Is it possible to allow people on to your server to try seeing how it plays with multiple people?

At first he was showing off the new projectiles, which is the rockets. Then he demonstrated upgrading the buildings. Then he showed us where does the  aliens spawn. Can't remember anything else.

Keep up the good work.

Trial run at nero's server, [MeG]Nero*'s Testserver.
Client files as of post :
/towerdefence/td.pk3 : Download Link Here
/towerdefence/ui.pk3 : Download Link Here
You have to spawn bots as aliens and use your blaster's 3rd attack(+button2) to place waypoints where the aliens will move according to. The waypoints are the empty entities you see lying around.
The dretch's HP increase with each wave. The highest we got was around 1300 before we hit the timelimit.

EDIT: Nero, I assume I just need the game.qvm, td.pk3 and ui.pk3 to run the server with the mod correct? But it only runs the server using the game.qvm, no extra models no upgrade no whatever.
EDIT2: Nvm, got it to run. My server, A Simple Fun Server, which is home-hosted in Malaysia, is hosting the mod right now.

[nerowinger]

lol this wasnt a release =) just a one-day test to check out what is missing xD

[Divmax]

Yeah I know, atleast people can try it out while your not around. I see that you joined my server with a very high ping.

[nerowinger]

yeah i am from germany --> high distance + WLAN =)

[Divmax]

Any cvars we should know about? !open only opens the door infront of you

[blood2.0]

ok what do i do with the files and wtf is happing flying exploading eggs and what is the point of the tower defense mod anyway?

Please, please try to keep your retardation at bay. If you do not know what to do, then messing around with pre-release stuff like this just isn't for you. If you do not understand the point of tower defense, this stuff also isn't for you.

In short, go away.

Have no clue? Get lost.

Disclaimer : This mod is not supposed to be released yet, so please be prepared for bugs and I will not be responsible to whatever happens to your computer/web host.

Steps on how to install the mod.
Installing the mod :
1) Create a folder in ~/Application Data/Tremulous/ called towerdefence ( its a C, not a S).
2) Place the 2 files from my previous post or you can refer below for the link into the /towerdefence folder.
3) Now you can enter any server that runs the mod without downloading it from a source that the server specified.
Running your server with the mod(If you haven't installed the mod, please do so before following this tutorial) :
1) Extract the game.qvm from td.pk3/vm
2) Place the game.qvm in the ~/Application Data/Tremulous/base/vm folder.
3) If you run from the command line(which I'm sure you do), add +fs_game towerdefence somewhere.
Done, now your server will be running the towerdefence mod.

Run that at the start of the game.
Nero, the teslas don't seem to attack. This might be a bug or a problem on my side, because I was messing with g_turretMode. The other problem is, where does the !waypoints save to? I saved the file but I could not load it or find it anywhere.

No problem, everyone is in a rush and/or drunk sometime or another, don't sweat it.
We even have proof of your rushed and/or drunk state by your typing.
Don't sweat the typing bit either.

[tojimaru]

I can't wait until the release of this. I just love Tower Defense games. I'm gonna host that demo of the mod in my server in a couple of days.

[megas333]

After several minutes (or was that seconds), I realized that I was utterly confused.

How do you even run the mod on your own server for Mac? I have a nonIntel so there are many difficulties with even running a server. STILL, how do you run it in Mac?
