TDM and April Fool's maps for 1 week

Print Post  
So this is the week of joke maps, with a twist being it will be Team Deathmatch (TDM). The TDM stats have W/L as well as frags. The TDM frags are separate from the regular DM frags, so the right now the career TDM list is pretty bare Smiley

The TDM stats are here:

mountain: http://www.birdieman.com/stats/tdm/index.htm
island: http://www.birdieman.com/island/tdm/index.htm

The game stat pages have extra team info on them. For example see this one:
http://www.birdieman.com/stats/2018/04/20180401.2225.05.TDM.TheTower.7777.htm

Qualifying for a Win or a Loss:
You are not always awarded the W/L. Here are the rules that determine qualifying for a W/L, and they are applied in this order:
  • 1. A player who has the most frags on the winning team (including the bot totals) qualifies for a W.
  • 2. If not above, then a player must have played for at least one minute on one team in order to qualify for a W/L. If the player has been switching teams, they will get the W/L associated with the team that they spent the most time on (at least one minute still required).


The one minute is configurable, let me know your opinion on if it should be more/less.
                                   
The goal limit is a total of 35 frags right now for every map. I can tweak this per map as we play them to get the best value per map.

Have fun!

Boy,was I surprised when I hopped on the server!  I really like the TDM format.  Some of the maps are a little out there, but still fun.   Good job!

  • fixed - island was stuck on KainsHouse.
  • fixed - the skins of the two custom bots (SIXX AND SAXX) were not working.
  • new - the color of the beam of the Blue Gun will be the same as your team color.


Note, I'll probably do TDM for "all models and skins" week (Sept 1st), with the regular maps.

Yes! BUT....Will all skins & models be kept or will this be a full replacement?

Not sure what you mean. New models & skins? No, just my usual batch I have for the bots. By then I should have your personal skins done as far as having a blue and red choice. I stopped sharing them just for this week because they don't have colors, that was an oversight when I made them.

  • Fixed - Kill Credits work for TDM.
  • Fixed - Team total was not always showing the correct value.


I didn't realize that if a player disconnects, for TDM the frags they had still count towards the team total. Sorry if I told some of you otherwise earlier this week.

Helen, just curious, is there any criteria as to what qualifies as a joke map? I get that some maps like Gomorrah are weird, or like Oceanpalace are frustrating. But there are some awesome maps. Red Heat for example, I am hooked, have been playing it almost non stop since yesterday.  Grin

For the april fool idea, there did have to be something wrong with them, but not so terrible that nobody would play them. I think the first time I played red heat, there's a spot where I just kept going in circles, I think that is why I included it. But there definitely are parts of that map that I like though.

That one is a pretty unique idea and quite decent. Did you fall over the side? The floor is one big trampoline, you bounce back up.

Hey Helen, the package "bug" took nearly 5 minutes to download after the server restart, whereas the other packages were downloading at great speeds as usual. Not sure if this was worth mentioning or not, passing it on nonetheless.

Thanks for hooking us up with the weekend fun  Cool

Edit: I deleted the package in question and redownloaded it to see if it would behave the same, which it did. My guess is I was hitting about 5-10kbps. Reconnecting a few times didn't seem to help.
