Bumpertanks Mod

[Clown]

Hey all and Merry Christmas! I will now tell you about my Bumpertanks gametype and how to play it. Please read it all before asking any questions. =)

How it works?
The main idea of Bumpertanks is very simple. The tanks have no weapons, so they cannot kill each other. The idea is to bump other tanks to the fog. This sounds pretty impossible, but don't worry: the tanks' bumping powers have been increased and they fly surprisingly high many times during a game. The tanks are also made a bit faster to make it more enjoyable for medium and heavy tanks.

About the tanks.
The Lighttank is the fastest (just like in regular game) and has the weakest bump.
The Mediumtank is a bit faster than Light (surpriiiise) and bumps a bit harder.
The Heavytank is the slowest (still faster than normally) and has the most powerful bump of these three tanks.

Scoring without guns?
This was the tricky part. Without guns, how can you score in a war-like game? The only solution I came up with was using negative scores. Every time your tank falls to the fog, you get one minus point. I hope that this is not the only solution, because when a player enters the game they have 0 points, which means that they will be on top of the scorelist. But you can always forget about the scores and just try to bump that nasty, fat heavy tank friend of yours. =)

The future
This is my vision of the future of this new gametype. First I will host Bumpertanks in stock maps, and then start combining it with scrum (bump the camper!), Capture the base (imagine five tanks bumping each other and trying to fit into a tiny base) and other fun gametypes. It would be also fun to add powerups fitting the game like speed-bursts and gates that temporarily give you superpowerful bumping ability or something. The possibilities are endless!

How can you help?
I want to spice the game up by adding new powerups and gates that have (hopefully) nothing to do with killing and weapons, and all ideas are welcome! New ideas for a better scoring system would be also appreciated.

Big thanks to Trivox IBotI who made the negative scores script!

EDIT: Just when I made the post look good they go and change the site skin so I had to edit it again. I think that was the reason for the deletion of repent's post too.

I'm too awfully lazy making new maps and currently there are only the stock Cranium Crater and my modded Greymatter Gorge (no name yet) which I use for bumpertanks. I don't make dedicated servers so you can hope to see it on the server list sometimes but I've been busy and not hosting it that often. =)

Why was my post deleted???

I assume it got lost during the upgrade from phpBB1 to phpBB2, a lot of other posts (including one of my own) got lost. Its not like it got deleted by a moderator.

I actually read this post, and it was saying that this sounded like the Sumo mods. Did BenBlue/CompUComp make these?

@Clown
are you ever thinking of making it a dedicated server?

[MusickTMG]

I am making a script for it that TMG Leader is going to host

it should be dedicated later today or tommower

Depending on what is going on

[TMG Leader]

^it all depends on when i get the script, but it should be finished soon
