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

Archangel · « **Reply #2 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:41:12 am »

Well, there's no actual gibs yet :p and the knockback is at 1500.

Lakitu7 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 12, 2008, 07:00:49 am »

Honestly I think the look of them rocketing off into space is 10000x funnier than gibs could ever be.

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.

Supertanker · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:54:39 am »

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.

Lakitu7 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2008, 09:37:06 am »

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.

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.

Great work to Arch for the mod, and Super for the map.

If you haven't tried this yet, go play it now.

At the moment, I no longer have the resources to host the development Tremulous server (see: http://www.711chan.org/ newspost... )

Risujin · « **Reply #26 on:** June 24, 2008, 04:23:55 pm »

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. $:-\$

I don't know, it's just some C practice. I'm terrible at C.

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.

ACKMAN · « **Reply #49 on:** November 04, 2008, 10:24:35 pm »

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

Asvarox · « **Reply #50 on:** November 04, 2008, 10:49:53 pm »

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). This map is really good one for playing instagib.
Demo can be downloaded here: http://patrz.pl/?391552 (click "[DOWNLOAD] Zapisz na dysku").

Encourages camping. You get +2 ammo if you get a kill.

This AND the ammo gain isn't good.

Same thing, except three seconds, and no bubbles.

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

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.

But humies look much more cooler with larmour than without it

ACKMAN · « **Reply #55 on:** November 05, 2008, 02:36:50 pm »

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'

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.
