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 six bullets from one. Kills players easily and has the quickest reload out of the non-automatic weapons. It is the other starting weapon.

The Repeater



Fires a stream of bullets at fast speeds. Turns your opponents into Swiss cheese. It is found on all maps.

The Faecpwner



Fires a spray of five explosive shells that can ricochet. Devastating to others but equally devastating to yourself if you're not careful. Has a slow reload time. Also known as the killing-spree-ender. It is found on all maps.

The Railgun



Fires a powerful beam of plasma. Extremely deadly. It is found on all maps.

The Lightning Wheel



Shoots electric beams of lightning at people. Fry your opponents to a crisp with this weapon. It is quite... shocking how effective this weapon is. It is currently only found on qldm2.

Power-Ups

Shield



Protects against damage.

Health



Heals you twenty-five percent.

Other Features

Insult Bot



A bot that picks a random player to insult every thirty seconds to two minutes... he's kind of a cunt.
Might be removed if too many players complain.

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). 125 is recommended. To do this, open the console and type setFov(125);

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

8/10 would consider stopping by.

I don't see the need for the crowbar though. I've never seen anybody use it, and with all the extra weapons and given shotgun - you're just asking to get your ass kicked.

They're fun for spontaneous crowbar fights though :cookieMonster:

If I can get Pandan's lightning wheel, I'll add that to the map and remove the crowbar

this sucks don't play it



just kidding this was extremely fun
and well balanced
i raped stuff
10/10

this is fun

although now it's hard to enjoy it because my laptop is a piece of junk

I am a satisfied customer, very addicting to play.

pandan on his lightning wheel topic released a reskinned "limited edition" version but me being trolly at the time meant that i downloaded the file and reuploaded it myself, then provided a link for later generations to thank me for

the latter hasn't happened yet but well, here it is, now suddenly useful.

I love you

ok so i poked around in the old topic and found that well, it's somewhat broken in respects to errors and console spam.

i guess its a necessary sacrifice if you want this addon.

you can fix CI error as directed in this post:
