Custom Objective mod?

(Osmosis) #1

Has anyone tried to create a Custom Objective mod for use on the vanilla maps?

Everyone knows the maps by now and knows “the formula” for winning each map. Following those formulas leave a lot of the maps unused. For example, on Volcano there are hallways and a hanger that is never really employed as part of the game.

How about a “king of the hill”, a “capture the spawn”, or the first team to get 150 kills wins objective mod?

I think it would be interesting to have a mod that utilizes the areas of the map that are not used during regular game play.

I dont’ know if this type of mod is possible.

Try looking into Brace, might be what you’re looking for.

QWTA’s got a new gametype planned for the future, but I don’t think it’d be what you’re looking for, since it uses existing objectives.

Brace and Dusk are 2 mods by the same guy Tex which don’t use the objectives of a map. Dusk is a zombie-like mod, where strogg have spikes only and GDF have to scavenge the map for weapons and repair kits to get their vehicle going in order to win the map.

Brace is a bit like king of the hill, but then in 2v2v2v2 format.

biggest problem: noone ever plays these mods anymore which is a shame because both are very good :frowning:
Try to find a download somewhere, both mods support bots so you can always try them on your own.

People still play Dusk quite a bit, and Brace well not that much but there is still hope :wink:

I got them both running with bots and autodownload, so feel free to try:

I’ve played Dusk. It’s fun but I didn’t like the fact that only 5 people can play.

I definitely like QWTA and that is the mod we use for the TAW tournament a.k.a. Battle For Earth (BFE).

Why doesn’t my avatar appear. I’ve loaded it.
