Author Topic: Any way to "rip" the /nextTrack script? (Read 893 times)

Altiris · February 16, 2013, 08:05:29 AM

Anyway we can get the script or is it put into the game files itself or something like that? If we could we could have rename it to /nextMap and eventually someone could even make events for it. This will be really useful in an FPS server as map rotation is sort of a biggy in my opinion. My friend and I could make some maps maye 3 for now and badda bing we have a nice TDM with rotating maps so it doesn't always get boring.

You could just make your own function, what it does is relatively simple

Slayer has map rotation.

This is a base gamemode with map rotation.
Modify "YourGame" to fitting values and add actual gamemode functionality too.

This is a build cycle that I made for use with Slayer minigames. It's not finished yet, but it still works.

Modify "YourGame" in the server.cs script file right? What can I rename it to, Gamemodes? If so, for each build I would just make a Gamemode for it? Pretty neat, how do I make it switch the map or it automatic?

If you're making a gamemode named "Moon Phase", rename things to stuff like MoonPhase or MP.
It switches just like SpeedKart does, it's "SpeedKart without the SpeedKart parts".

Oh so I don't need to type Gamemode_ or only for the part where it says %pattern = "Add-Ons/YourGame_*/save.bls";
I am a noob at this as I barely mess around with blockland scripts and stuff. How do I make it change, I type /nextMap or something?

Im noticing there's a lot of lines where it has "Your Game" I need to rename all of those lines, or did you make that as a substitute/variable? Like did you do something like YourGame = GAMEMODEHERE?

YourGame is where it was originally named "SpeedKart" or "SK". Just replace it.
