Hi everyone, I'm here to give you some information about arcade mod. It was originally created by Risujin (he should be well known in this topic group
).

http://arcade-mod.googlecode.com/svn/Server : (CY)Arcade mod - type \connect tremulous.1s.fr:30710 if you are too lazy to search for it
Since his last version, which was v15, some stuff has been added. Here is the description:
* Some admin commands
* g_freefunds, g_nobaseattack and g_fastbuild
* Relics North and South (like the poles of magnets)
* FFA King mode
The FFA King mode is not a well integrated to Tremulous as Domination and Heaven of Relics are. It radically changes the gameplay as instead of trying to destroy the enemy base with the help of your mates, your objective is to be the King, whose special attribute is a crown. When you have the crown, your kills will increase every 10s, and if you reach the limit defined in the config files (by default 5mins, so that's 30kills), you win. As you can see it is not that hard to understand and is aimed at distracting stressed or bored players after a long CW. If you are not the king and kill a teammate (other than the crown owner), your kill counter will be decremented (-1). There are two ways of becoming King :
Either you pick up the crown if no one has it (it is symbolized by a floating crown inside a gear, and its possible spawn locations are marked on the floor)
If someone already holds the crown, you have to steal it by killing him.
The FFA King has a maximum life of 3/2 of his normal life (that is 150hp for a human and 300hp for a dragoon). When a new King is proclaimed, he gets full stamina if human, and 1/3 of his maximum life is added to his current health. Aliens and humans will have an alien-style radar that will display a yellow blip to indicate the FFA King's location.
Humans * Ammunition is unlimited.
* When they spawn, humans are given a rifle.
* Building or buying stuff is not possible.
* When someone becomes King, his rifle turns into a random weapon between pain saw and lucifer cannon. He gets full stamina + 33hp.
* The FFA King cannot use medistations, but his medikit still works if he has one and, when activated, will only heal him up to 100hp.
* The FFA King gets +33hp for each of his kills.
Aliens * Aliens spawn as marauder and cannot evolve.
* Building is not possible.
* When someone becomes FFA King, he evolves into a dragoon.
* The FFA King cannot regenerate but gets +66hp or each of his kills.
FFA King games will only be played by one team at once, eg everyone alien or human. Structures cannot be destroyed. Admins can start such a game with !ffaking [a|h]. If you are a regular player, you still can call a vote with /callvote ffaking [a|h].
Administrators : Cvars & LayoutsCvars
* g_FFAKingTimeLimit contains the total amount of time (in minutes) that players will need to hold the crown for to win.
Layouts
* For each map you wish to be playable with FFA King, you need to create a layout named "ffaking" with at least one "FFA King" relic fount. You should read the part on "building layouts with Arcade" if you don't know how to do this. Include an armoury in it if you want humans to be able to buy weapons. Not avised but still available as an option.
Symphony, from the (CY) clan, has kindly accepted to set up a server with this mod on it. It is called (CY)Arcade mod, and is located in France ; therefore if you live in America you won't have a very good ping. I encourage you set up servers if you are intersted. See you on Arcade
RedRum.
