Paleontologists vs Smugglers CP TDM

[Gen. Hothauser]

I planned on making some kind of modern-day desert TDM, but the way I made the map made me think of dinosaurs, and this idea hatched.

Teaser picture.  This basically sums up all of the progress made so far, though.  Fog looks better in-game.

Description:

There are two teams: Paleontologists and Smugglers.  The goal of the two teams is to capture all of the capture points.  Capture points are located near dig sites.  When a paleontologist captures a point, that site is "discovered", meaning the paleontologist has found and dug up fossils.  When a smuggler captures a point, the fossils at that site have been stolen.  The first team to capture all of the points (discover all of the fossils/steal all of the fossils) and make it to the small airport (or something, idk, I haven't thought ahead to that part yet) wins the game.

The below pictures are without the environmental settings I will be using.

This goes in General Discussion, unless you are showing off the build

Essentially, yes, so far.  There hasn't been any progress on the TDM part, just prettiness.

It ain't done.  That's just progress.  There are gunna be a lot of rocks, small hills, cacti, dead shrubs, outposts, and stuff.  The large empty area in the top region on the bottom-most image now has a dried-up river bed that will house another CP.

The spawn location for the paleontologists is done.  These pictures show the vehicle boxes opening.  The player clicks on a panel on the side of the box, all of the bricks fakekill, and after a few seconds, the fakekilled bricks disappear to only leave a platform.  To reset the box and recover the jeep, a button is set up to do so.  This system will not be used for the smugglers.  Only a paleontologist can recover a vehicle, and a box can only be reset if its corresponding vehicle is not in use.  The spawn location also features a minigun using a similar system.

I really like the look of this so far and I love the concept and theme. The server properties look really good.
I look forward to seeing you add more and seeing it complete and playable.

Do you have any ideas for weapons?
It would be cool if there was variation between the two sides, so long as they're balanced out equally.

Also, if you use team uniforms you definitely have to make the paleontologists look like Indiana Jones.

Somebody should make a whip weapon.

Damn, I didn't think about weapons.  That might be hard to balance.  I think what I'll do is set the time period to be in Jones' era, so the smugglers can have a tommy gun-like weapons.  I'll see what I can dig up, and I will try to vary the weapons based on team.

As for the uniforms, you are correct.  I'm gunna try something with events to create multiple uniform possibilities when a player respawns.  One uniform will be like Indiana Jones, including a Hat Mod hat.


I couldn't think of another word that could work for "smugglers".  If anyone can think of something that could work better, let me know.

What about 'Raiders'?

I'll keep that one in mind.
