The New TWSD (twsdx)

[fLaReD]

i think everything reaver said was good except i think you should get more points for being on the team with flag. in an event the other night that dald hosted we played and with the two fortified corner it kind of turned into the flag carrier as an anchor and the other spids attached and helped defend him so that way they built up points fast. it should be a point race

[RiiStar]

It is a point race, dald never actually ran the bot module for this...
Since its set only to run in twd.

The reason the points are so, is even without the flag if you can dominate the other team but not get the flag u can still win if ur get enough points from kills.

Ya, I went to host it, but the module was disabled. So I improvised

Rules and Gameplay in A1.

Use lancaster. Spiders can play base.<_<

We SD'd last night and its still a race to 50? Why bother with the flag then?

[HateTheFake]

i though flag was purely for giving more pts for kills

Who loaded the SD game? I guarantee you they loaded the wrong one.
On the bot there are 2 types, TWSD and TWSDX...

By the sounds of it they loaded the old TWSD module which is the old race to 50...
Plus no-one currently should be running it without myself or MMaverick there,
as it being still in testing phase...

[RiiStar]

Some small last little changes have been applied!
Will be ready the next time Bots are updated, then we'll do a few test runs.

We're getting close ppl!
Been a long time coming...

:fear:

[RiiStar]

We'd like to offically announce TWSDx (TWSD) open to the public, FINALLY!
Read A1/Bot for general game rules, and TWD Forum thread.
It's been over a year from start to finish...

Hope you Enjoy It!

GamePlay/Rules/Notes

• This is 3vs3 default, upto 5vs5 so you can play when you don't have 4+!
• At Start grab flag in mid!
• You get 2x points per kill when u have the flag!
• Team with most points after 5mins wins...
• Flag transferred to the one who kills flagger!
• Remember to TEAM and protect the flag, STAY alive!
• You can attach
• You can use 1 brick per death and a short range antiwarp...

Notes!
• Flagger has a slight speed penalty, you cant run and hide. YOUR TEAM NEEDS TO PROTECT YOU!
• Attaching also slows down ur team mates, so attach safely!

This will be a Open test till end of TWL.

i haven't read the rest of the thread so i dunno if these points have been brought up yet

- antiwarp doesn't seem to work - honestly i don't know if it's necessary, i would just take it out
- several new implementations are good ideas - the flag, flag penalty, attaching penalty, 3v3, the new map
- attaching should not be allowed for the one holding flag. this is easily abused by a team who takes the early lead. teaming should be encouraged, not an easy escape by the flag holder with a simple attach (teammates attaching to the flagholder still allowed)

Only problem I had was not being able to !myfreq in spec. This was really fun, I like everything about it just how it is. Please don't change anything

[Papa Diop]

I'm not even a pro spider or rarely spid, but I liked the arena and the gameplay very much. Maybe tragik has a point saying flag carrier shouldn't be able to attach, if two team mates are on each side of the arena, he could just constantly attach between the two of them. Could ruin the game early on.

Little remark about the beginning maybe. Most teams now warp in the beginning, hoping to get a random good position to get to mid fast and brick the flag area. I don't know if it can be implemented, but what if flag only spawns in the beginning (same place) when one team gets 3 deaths (don't know if it can ruin a game when a team decides to start running early on, avoiding getting killed).
That way teams can really prepare themselves properly on getting flag and the beginning of the game will always start with a huge spid battle around the flag area when you have time to settle properly. Think that might be cool.

Ha! Just thought that you also can make time longer until flag gets spawned, so you get less random, lucky warps in the beginning.

Big thumps up for the ones who created this! Rushers don't got that much chance in this game like in warbirds

[Papa Diop]

Can there be a practice arena with a bot? Like wbduel. That way people can constantly test it out on their own, making teams.

If it isn't possible, I'll just wait patiently in front of the screen for people to log on.

[royCE]

worst piece of shit idea i ever seen. make spiders attachable is just plain stupid.

had 36 kills in a match and still lost cus they kid kept running and attaching.

played a minute of the match and found that i can grab a flag and have my team go to each corner of the map and just wait till i attach and so on.

take out the attaching.

k ur done reading...now go to it...

ur still reading...

go...

now?

?go spidduel would work for that.

Not sure if this was intentional or not but the flag seems to reset itself half way into the matches (yesterday it did not) and shows some kind of ranking between yourself and your teamates. Then the scores in the F2 menu all reset. With only 5 minute rounds is there really a point to resetting the flag like this? Hopefully it is just a glich and an easily fixable one so SD will continue to thrive.
