General Discussion / Deathmatch Classic- / Quake-Like DM - Now with new weapons and RTB hosting!
« on: December 28, 2013, 01:10:56 AM »Deathmatch Classic- / Quake-Like DM
This server is a deathmatch that is meant to be similar to that of Quake. It includes fast-paced gameplay, a stylish-ish arena, killer music and lods of efun.
The Arenas
There are two arenas so far.
qldm1
This arena is a three-level complex with a simple building style and simple textures. It has many ramps and neat geometry that you probably won't look at because you'll be too busy flying through the map at high speeds. The map includes three unique weapons and two types of powerup. It also has teledoors and lava pits.
qldm2
This arena is floating in a void. It has six jumpads and is extra dangerous because it is out in the open.
The Weapons
There are a total of six different weapons in this gamemode. None of them are ones in Quake (except for the railgun) but that's because there are no Quake weapons for Blockland (as far as I know) besides the railgun.
The Crowbar
The crowbar is the only melee weapon in the deathmatch. Rips through Blocko... plastic? quite easily. Its weakness is every other weapon in the gamemode. It is one of the starting weapons.
The Shotgun
Fires five bullets from one. Kills players easily and has the quickest reload out of the non-automatic weapons. It is the other starting weapon.
The Chaingun
Fires a stream of bullets at fast speeds. Turns your opponents into Swiss cheese. It is found on all maps.
The Rotary Grenade Launcher
Fires deadly grenades. Devastating to others but equally devastating to yourself if you're reckless. It is found on all maps.
The Railgun
Fires a powerful beam of plasma. Extremely deadly. It is found on all maps.
The Flamethrower
Sprays a hot flame. Melt your opponents with this weapon. Can you smell the burning plastic? Don't breathe it in; it's toxic. It is currently only found on qldm2.
Power-Ups
Shield
Protects against damage.
Health
Heals you twenty-five percent.
Other Features
Music
A music loop is played upon spawning. You will hear it if you have Download Music checked. It is a song from Quake III Arena. If you do not like it, uncheck Play Music in your options menu.
Health Bar
This server has the health bar mod. It shows how much health you have. If you don't have it, get it.
Tips and Suggestions
Keep moving. Stopping in this gamemode is one of the worst things you can do. Move around as much as you can.
Change your field of vision (fov). 120 or 125 is recommended.
Set shaders to minimum. This gamemode is best enjoyed with shaders on minimum. Anything lower or higher than this doesn't look too good.
Rules
Do not camp, especially near the railgun spawn
Do not use aimbots
Do not be a friend
If you want to make a map for the gamemode, here are some resources:
