First of all, I have no experience working with scripts and other coding. That's why I'm making this post. I have an idea for a mod, one that I don't think should be difficult for an experienced programmer. Some of you may have played a similar game in gym class. I know it as Deadman. In essence, the mod is a deathmatch game, with a couple simple, yet quite game altering differences. The premise is that if the person that killed you gets killed, you're back in the game. So if player A kills players B and C, but then gets killed by player D, players B and C respawn. And if B then kills D, then A respawns. Get the picture? The only way to win is to be the one who eliminates each of the other players. First, all I want to have changed from the original deathmatch mode is the respawning system. I though that if it didn't work out so well, that maybe some addition modification would be needed, such as for every person you kill you gain 25 health, or something like that. Something to make it actually possible for one person to eliminate everyone else.

I would really like to be able to play this game mode in ut2k4, but unless I spend more time than I think I have to learn how to program it myself, my only option is to hope that someone else will take up the project. If anyone wants to, please feel free. Let me know what you guys think. If you have some links to some guides on how I could do this on my own, please post them.

To me, this SORT OF sounds like a variation of "Dodgeball". Given the popularity of the recent movie, Dodgeball could actually be a pretty cool variant.

The "weapon" is a ball, and of course, if you "catch"
it, the person shooting goes to dodge-jail or something like that.

Some very very interesting possibilities here!

There is a Dodgeball mod, but it is still beta, doesnt have any active servers i have seen, and has no bot support.

I had a dodgeball dream last night that was playing to the Hyperblast Remix. A guy threw a ball at me and I was comming back from a matrix like dodge, and I punched the ball (volley) back into him and got him out, winning the match.....uh....I thought that might be relevant.

No offence but using a ball would be lame. Seriously. If you want to play Dodgeball by all means go out and play it with your friends OUTSIDE! But on the otherhand the idea of that type of spawning would be sweet. It would kinda be like Invasion only where you can play either side, sorta. I know what you are talking about, but if you make a mod and want to spend all your time coding for it go for it. But make it worth your time and think of how many people will play it, with weapons I think it would be a hit :D , with a ball- not so much :rolleyes: .

Good Luck and have fun.
