Elimination 2k3 - LMS style gametype

[legacy-agentq_71]

Elimination 2k3

This mod is a new gametype based on deathmatch. It`s basically limited lives deathmatch with a customized scoreboard and HUD appropriate for the gametype. The score in the HUD shows Rank, Spread, and Lives Remaining. The HUD also shows the current top 3 players in the game.

Enjoy .

Not meaning to be an **** or anything but is there much point in this since LMS will be in the bonus pack?

[legacy-agentq_71]

I suppose it depends on how they do LMS in the bonus pack and if they delay it any longer .

When I wrote Elimination for UT, it was different from the stock LMS in the following ways:

1) LMS spawned players with all weapons and ammo, with none on the map. Elimination spawns players normally, with all weapons and ammo on the map (this was the main drive for writing Elimination in the first place, I preferred not to spawn with everything).

2) The HUD and Scoreboard were improved for Elimination. In LMS, the HUD and Scoreboard focused on kills, and not lives left. The focus of Elimination HUD and scoreboard are on lives left.

Agentq,

I tried it. I like it. I thank you for making it.

[legacy-Teddie]

I'll try it over my home-lan tonight.

Only thing I noticed is that when you're out and you switch views from player to player, it seems to cycle through dead players too. (not showing names), just a dead cycle (hard to explain). Other than that, everything's very cool.

Hey Teddie,

Thanks for the positive feedback, it's much appreciated . I'll look into that weird observer thing and if I track it down I'll post a fix at a later date.

Oh, and December24th is a really cool map - it's fun .

I've been waiting for something like this. :up:

Well if LMS is coming out in the BP you might have a chance to check it out soon, because they said if they don't find anymore bugs it will be out in a few days.

"3 days"

i would like to see a lms mode where you only have 1 life

and when only 1 player is left he wins the round, and a new round begins

like the way it is in AHL LMS, the winner of a round gets 10 points, then a new round begins

i find this much more fun than the normal x lives lms

please include such a gametype

[legacy-agentq_71]

That sounds pretty cool - I'll see what I can do .

Elimination Version 1.3 is done .

Here's a list of the changes:

*==> Version 1.30

* Fixed spectator mode so that it no longer switches to
eliminated players; now it will only cycle through active
players.

* Fixed bug where players other than a killed player would
get the "One life left" message.

* Changed default lives from 0 to 10.

agentq, that was fast man.

This mut is solid fun for me.

It was my family's favorite gametype to play in UT1, especially when my brother in law and his family would come over for the weekend.... LMS all night.

Can I just install this update over the old version?

[legacy-digital orgasm]

This is a fantastic mutator!!

I love it....much better than LMS

Thanks for a wonderful release...I'm off to play it again

:up:

Yup, that should work fine.

I think my next step is to add an optional multiple round mode like UTroll suggested.

I was also pondering making a Team Elimination where an entire team shares a pool of lives - would that be something that people would want to play?
