What would you want from a firemod?
chrisbot6:
I've been scripting for a while now, and to celebrate this fact i've decided to create a brand new firemod.
Again.
Some of you may remember the old one. It worked with slayer. This one will too.
However, there were certain things about the old one that sort of made it terrible:
- LAAAAG
- LAAAAG
- Terrible weapon models for some important tools
- Confusing prefs
- LAAAAG
- Stupid ammo system
- Glitchy weapons
- Broken objectives
- LAAAAG
The cause of many of these things was the fact that I at the time didn't know how a game of firemod would work. Would firefighters just put out fire? If so, how would this work? Would there be an arsenist team? If so, how does that make any sense? Also, what stops them from burning everything to a crisp?
I answered these questions and more to my best ability. This didn't work.
I missed out on key features, too. Water could catch fire. Instadeath occored randomly. Servers crashed for unknown reasons. Saving and Loading broke, and so did brickcount. Bad luck, Chris.
Eventually I gave up on it. I buried it and later created the renderman mod we all know and love. But I still remember it as how I got into making mods for blockland. And now I want to fix it.
But how?
So I ask you, how do you think the new firemod should be made? How should it work? What should the objective be?
Dis guss.
Twizzle:
I would say only being able to set one fire per 5/10 firefighters (if it was like a slayer or a gamemode) so there would be a team of like, 1-3 arsenists and like 5-15 firefighters. then you can control the fires so they dont get out of hand and lag the servers. idk.

sort of like the old creeper game?

this seems like a good idea.
