New ?go Javs arena alternatives

[Kim]

Yea i was thinking again, and it occurred to me that what works for pub, should work for Jav arenas. Like how there are 3-4 different pub arenas going at once, that all carry the same REC when u go from one arena to the next, maybe its possible to link up a few popular jav arenas (Example: alongside Javs, we can have Javstech and Javs2 or another newly made map for this cause) and have players allowed to play in them. But just like how pub has its rules, I think its time to implement the TWJD line into those arenas so people are only allowed 30 seconds outside of base, or be specced for a period of time (15 seconds in spec is already annoying enough for the player to not do it constantly). I was wondering if you guys thought this was a good idea, then i'll probably ask staffers how we can go about doing it. If not 3-4, Just TWO would be a great change.

The line would be nice too.

How about 2 more maps, exactly the same as javs, allowing people to play the same map if it's overcrowded.

The welcome message to ?go javs could be something like "This arena too crowded? Fancy a change of opponents? Try out ?go javs3 or ?go javs4" instead of that stupid "Go Javs! Go Javs!" that it has now.

[Kim]

Yea but that's where we can go above and beyond pub, by having alternative maps that are kinda similar but not quite. Like I mean Javstech is pretty much identical to Javs except for tileset and some features along the side and top

Doubt it's possible.

I like the idea.. the whole kill outside base isn't that big of a problem.. who cares if you get killed once outside base?

[Kim]

You just don't play there enough to know it, but people go out of their way to stay around in the spawn area. If that's the case, what's the base for? Plus, adding the line also moves one step closer in making it a better practice arena for TWLJ.

i like the idea, but it would involve churning out some more bots.

Yea i was thinking again

Not again...!!! :P

get a no lingering line, or make a no lingering box for purepub.

[Ewan]

Bring back shrap!

i tried to fix that in ?go sealjavs

no spawning since freq 0 spawns on left side and freq 1 on right side. Dont have time/patience to improve the area wih implenting the spawn with a safezone, so bombs wont go in. It would be a spawn free arena in this case.

if anyone wants to improve ya can have the source.

[Stultus]

I still want a safe spawn in pub.

That is, if you make greening levs illegal. $

[Ewan]

But then you'd get people camping the safes. Unless that was made illegal too.

[SEAL]

safe zones have different exits. it's easier for someone to goto a other exit than for a camper to goto a other exit.

[iNgeNfyRe]

make a safe with walls around it and a wormhole so when you are ready to go, you can warp out ha.
