Having completed most of the basic things needed to run a Team Deathmatch server and several game modes and event options, I'm now able to run some public test servers to see how game balance works and test for bugs. I'm only short of one thing: builds...
I'm not a very good builder. I cannot design a good, fair and nice-looking build for each of my game modes - usually the things I end up with are perfectly symmetrical piles of duplicator bricks. This works for most things, but isn't very pleasing to look at. So, I turn to you and the Blockland community.
I would like people to design and make builds which I can use for Team Deathmatch. You can use anything such as
Team Spawn Bricks,
Team-Only Vehicle Spawns and
Capture Points (Capture points can be limited to one team only, locked on capture or held to certain conditions) - mark them clearly and then I can set up the events for how they'll work. The best builds will be hosted in my test servers with whatever settings you'd like (team types, uniforms, winning conditions and weapons if you specify) and hopefully included with the mod when I release it. I only have a few requirements:
- Mark Spawn Points and Capture Points clearly (use a 6x6f plate for a small, quick-capture point or a 16x16 baseplate for a longer central one)
- Keep the build fair, but not boring (Ideally balanced to both teams, but not perfectly symmetrical)
- Use standard Add-Ons (I have a few of the more popular weapons and vehicles installed, but I'd like everyone to be able to use the build if I include it with TDM - no special maps, events or bricks please)
Feel free to design the builds to any existing or new type of game mode you want - a better or redone Siege map, something to use with Capture the Flag or something like an Attack/Defence map with the Capture Points. One thing I was thinking of trying was a "Deathmatch Arena" which could be used with some non-teams based game modes, such as a one-way Capture the Flag (players competing to get a specific item to a destination point rather than between bases) or a Last-Man Standing kind of thing.
