Fun Events

[Fffreak9999]

Hi All,

As many of you were aware, Constructive Tyranny was hosting a server over the christmas period which used a bunch of unique settings along with a mutator that made Jumping higher, and movement faster.

I would like to gather your opinion on this, and see if you would like to see a server dedicated to this to be available on a more "permanent" basis

[SvN91]

I really enjoyed the christmas server. The problem is that there are so few players that it would be ether the normal server or the event-server that would be full..

[Xtractor]

This kind of thing need to be done regulary ..Wasnt there but Keep doing it, but promote it in advance to make it a popular event

Ok, as voting for this seems not to have changed in the last few days, I will close the poll.

As for the results, they are mostly in the positive.

I will figure out a schedule and a plan for each event to make them feel different than normal.

Some will use custom maps and other mutators and the like in addition to the crazy movement and jumping mutator.

I will release the first details soon.

- less players for *normal servers*

+ maybe newbies like that game mode...

killing INF on the christmas server with Flamethrower Trooper was fun, but all in all I didn't enjoy it. But thats a matter of personal taste

[Fffreak9999]

Like I said, these will be scheduled events, rather than all year round servers, maybe something like once a month/every couple of months depending on popularity

[Sn4ke]

oh sorry, missed that point

I very much enjoyed playing with all those settings on the Christmas Special Event server. 10/10, would like to do it again!

Hmm, how exactly was Flame Soldier more fun than other units? Did you try out the Chem dude?

well.. Im pretty bad with infantry. even though I got slightly better over the time playing RenX I still suck
 [maybe I could improve my aim by buying a new PC / Notebook, but Im a miser Im used to 5-15 FPS in combat..]

But with flamethrower I was on a killing spree [Xmountain] for some reason it was much easier (for me) to kill all the double-jumping players with the flamer than with any other infantry weapon. and as I said: personal taste

[Fffreak9999]

What sort of events would you like to see?

Any suggestions. I have a few ideas for some, but if you have any preferences, a couple of suggestions wouldn't go amiss.

[Sn4ke]

What about:

For each kill you gain additional armor but lose movement speed? [settings get a reset after you die]

 

[TK0104]

Replace Free Infantry Characters with Tiberian Sun Characters and Weapons:

Example:

- GDI Soldier is now a TS GDI Soldier with TS Autorifle and Pistol (I know there is code of it.....)

- Same goes for Nod

[Xtractor]

There was once in RenX some Alien adductions ,It was fun  to see  ,If something could be done with that Aliens theme ..could be really fun  ,

[Fffreak9999]

@Xtractor already had this in mind for one of them  

[Kaiser739]

How about bringing some old maps back for these fun events? Like Beta 1 Mesa or Field?

Edited January 6, 2017 by Kaiser739

[Fffreak9999]

I will see if there are any old files lying around, but I think most of our old files are gone, although I may have some luck with the old Field (in some form or another) depending on the state of our folders.

Horde mode on Crashsite?

My ideas:

• Server with classic UT maps/game modes but RenX weapons as pickups.
• Mode where you gain veterancy extremely fast but lose it all when you die.
• Enable friendly fire
• Enable announcer voice with UT-like killstreaks
• 3 laps race with Humvees and Buggys around Mesa II
• Rocket league with Humvees and Buggys
• Convert RenX into RPG

Also rank bot should be expanded, so whenever someone says ".dank" it tells you a dank quote or meme.

Some of these will be impossible to impliment, however some of them we are capable of doing  

[Madkill40]

Everybody knows that I am the greatest at customized settings for games that make games 'fun'.

Hit F1 if you want me to dictate custom game settings. 

[Guest Gliven]

F2

[Fffreak9999]

"F2"  

[KrypTheBear]

Random guns: Everytime you kill someone, your current weapon is swapped with a random weapon. This excludes throwables/deployables (both from being swapped and being recieved). 

If there's a way to fuck around with character sizes, I'd say during killstreaks your character increases in size. Starting with 5 kills, every additional kill increases your size 1.1x. Or any other arbitrary value.

[Fffreak9999]

Sounds like a good idea but gonna be hard to do.

[Madkill40]

Add no fall damage.

Easily done

Well, basically everything that made the Christmas server fun would be great to re-implement once again.

[Fffreak9999]

I have some new things in addition to the Christmas stuff, so look forward to it

 

[Hohndo]

Make it happen.

[Henk]

Only making money by killing stuff. Maybe keep the harvesters in if it's difficult to get rid of them, but make the drop only 250 and no credit tick.

Could do something similar

Sandbox mode for commanders, ie commander can announce "Stank rush" and spawn 20 stanks

 Sounds fun, I don't know if we can restrict it to Commander only, plus would be pretty broken...

But definitely fun

Just take my mod's code and mix it with commander mod

Also, Stank rush is too boring, do Titan Rush or Tick Tank Rush.

Or maybe do A-10 Rush or C130 Rush instead

Hehe, or even a Tesla tank rush. We played with ~15 people on the sandbox server some days ago and most of them didn't know that the Tesla tank existed in Ren X.
