Tournament mode ?

[martinfalch]

I dont know if this is the wrong place, plz move it in that case

I was just wondering if it would be possible in some version of ESF to have a tournament mode, with following rules:

- There is a ring, and if a person steps out of the ring he lost!
- A player lose if he dies
- Players fight 1 on 1, and the rest of the players wait untill its their turn.
- U get to move up in the ranks by winning a round, and the players who won their recent match, gets to play eachother, that kinda style!
- When a player won the finals he gets like some sort of reward, depending on if u count frags or points og something else, or perhaps youll be allowed to transform ?
- U shouldnt be able to switch character untill the tournament is over.

U could of course apply alot of extra rules and stuff, but first of all i wondered if halflife allows u to make this kind of mode at all ? It would be really nice if it would be possible

Plz dont be angry if i posted the wrong place !

Usually suggestions go in the suggestion forum but no big deal. I'd recommend using the search tool first though cause some people get mad at people posting questions that have already been asked many times in the past. I myself still want some sort of tourny mode. More just a 1vs1 deal though.

untill ESF finishes all their plans I am using this mod myself!
lol - just make sure your partner knowbs the rules!
like me and my friend are playing it and its so much fun!
when we are both ready we hover above one of the pillars
(when max distance is between us
and then cout to 3 and then we begin
after each round (1 gets killed or touches the ground outside the arena)
we type "KILL" for a fresh new start! ( full ki,health stuff...)

in the future mod itself the count to 3 thing could have a nice animation
like a spirit going above the players' head... counting(/Animating) to 3

a good coder should be able to script this
(its so easy... - 2 very important things:
player touches ground - and dies
if a player is dead(not only cause of ground touching)
then the other 1 gets a point
ground = area not in the ground of the arena...

thats all right?)

so what im saying is that untill ESF do it.... I play it without the mod }B-P

i had a similar idea once ( didnt post )
well wouldnt it be boring if u got kicked out of the turnament at the start and u would have to wait the whole game to end how about if there was a seperate place where the others waiting would fight and get pl and when 2 ane in the ring they get more lives and the pl is the same let us say the avarage of the two ofcourse they are heald
ofcourse the ring should ba biger than in the cellgames map how about it
PS i realy love the idea

I recalled something similiar in bfp. Where your in tourny mode when 2

people will fight each other while everyone else that has connected is in

spectator mode. The whole outside the ring would be hard to do without

changing the coding or layout of the game since you fly back after getting

hit.

Well, should be bigger ring but wouldnt it be pretty easy with a kill outside the ring ? i believe that would be a map problem - like say u made all the area around the ring lava or somethin ? Some option like that, that could make up for an easy tournament idea without coding, but it would miss the spectator part - and yeah i like the pl idea, others training in perhaps another arena nearby, and the possibility to go and look at the fighting ones through a glass or something ? That could be pretty cool!

Is it possible to set a property to a surface that makes it so that players can land on it without getting disqualified? If so, some of the existing maps in the game could be edited to support this kind of game mode without too much difficulty. You'd need only to make it so every other surface would disqualify a player when they touch it.
