Arena Combat League

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Just to let you know the arena combat league will start sometime early next week. The initial combat events will involve two teams (red and blue) and each gang gets randomly assigned to one of these teams. Points are scored for damage caused to enemy cars. I've done loads of cool stuff with the AI drivers, and also improved some of the general physics stuff, for example you won't get stuck in a wall so easily anymore. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 20, 2006, 4:44 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Just some more details on arena combats, as I develop them: When you damage a car from the other team, your score increases by an amount that is proportional to their combat rating. This effectively makes combat rating a handicapping system, and means you have to compete smarter rather than just having the biggest and best car. Combat rating is calculated from a car's armour and weapons. When you damage a car from your own team, you lose points. If a car takes damage from a crash, whoever damaged them most recently (either by weapon fire or by crashing into them) gets points. When a car has no conscious characters left in it, its combat rating drops to zero, and you won't get any points by damaging it any more. When all of the cars from one of the teams (red or blue) have resigned, the event ends, and any remaining cars from the winning team get their score multiplied by 1.5. Arena combats run for 120 seconds game-time. At that time (or earlier, if one team wins), the scores are used to decide the overall event ranking and therefore the cash prizes and league points given out. When the arena combat league starts, there will be a league combat starting once every hour. There will also be one-off combat events at various times during the week. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 23, 2006, 1:14 pm Last edited Oct 23, 2006, 1:17 pm by sam

*comp112* Eros: Gods of Love. Autodueller Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 291 Joined: Sep 10, 2006 aw but spamming is fun!!!! >.< anyway ya this ounds nice, how many arena will there be in total do u think??? also will there be any arena car provided to us without vehicles that have proper weapons? maybe we have o pay a fe to rent a car ......................... marshal vet Posted Oct 24, 2006, 5:01 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I'm thinking one arena per town, so that's about 10 in total. Maybe 2 in some towns. You're suggesting a combat car with just mounted spikes or mounted ram, and no shooting weapon? that would be good, yeah I had considered rental of vehicles at some stage, but I'm not sure if it would add much to the game. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 24, 2006, 5:09 pm Last edited Oct 24, 2006, 5:10 pm by sam

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 What pedestrian? About Arena fights: my 2 left drivers suffered injuries that seemed very serious (one was even "surrounded by flames and would luckily die quickly"). They both finally recovered ingame and none has damage reported once at main camp. Is that normal? It was a very tough game. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Oct 29, 2006, 1:06 am Last edited Oct 29, 2006, 1:06 am by viKKing
