I never actually played in the Black-cell server when this feature was around, so I am designing this based on hear-say really.
Apparantly a crystal used to grow in the tiberian field, that you could pick-up and take back to your base's refinary for cash. The only thing was, it took your health away whilst holding the tiberian crystal. If your health got too low, then it would turn you into a visceroid.
Also, the value of the crystal depends on how long you allowed it to grow for. I have no idea whether or not there was any actual signs of the crystal growing or not, but I decided to make it that way, so there was a graphical representation of the crystals value.
It's no where near ready, but I thought I'd show a short movie of it because it's pretty cool to watch it grow and pick it up in my opinion.
I'm not sure how it was previously written, but I was thinking of adding some sort of tiberian processing machine to the ref so you could drop it in there...
To be honest, it's the first free time I've had in ages to actually do something, I may not finish it depending on people's reaction.

That seems easy enought that it might work. However after a while I am sure people will spam this idea so for example all the building are gone on the smae map except for the bar/hon then they would ues the viceroid to regen health and a unlimited ammo powerful weapon.

I tried it once, some ass-hat kept on destroying my stuff. When I first heard about, it sounded like a nice way to be creative on the server without needing any programming knowledge. In reality it seemed to be a place for stupid little fuckers to get cheap laughs at others frustration. What makes you ask?

I mean all the other stuff, he also has awesome ideas that noone ever here will get you should take some more time on his server, he has some really great stuff:
1) A Tiberium Field, where Tiberium grows also after a time, BUT with a Harvester (Arty with Harv model that cant even shot serverside) you could collect these Tib Crystals and they were gone! and after 20 crystals you need to unload the cash! And the Crystals alsways grow/spawn back after a time.
2) Did you ever tryed the Orca Bomber? its kickass 
I wanna say, you always have great ideas with your Plugins, but why dont you open a server (someone else could host) with some nice ideas? just like w4rning has (donna wanna say copy it) but i would be glad to see a server made by you 
|
The tib field sounds like a nice idea. Pretty sure you could make a Harvy shoot server-side if you really wanted to... You could probably create an Arty, set the model to a harvy, then attach a turret to the bone, would looks kinda cool maybe..
I have tried an Orca bomber, pretty nice.
I already run a server, the official APB server and reborn server.
As to why I don't run a renegade server.. Well, MP-Gaming does run a mission DM server (I don't have anything to do with it really though), I would like to have a renegade server, however there are three things stopping me. 1) Money 2) Time and 3) No player base.
But I appreciate the vote of confidence. Thankyou.

That's some really cool stuff

Thanks dude, I am trying to make it even better at the moment. Will post another video when I have made some head-way.

hey reborn, i recommend you to use a bigger tiberium plant for the ground. Just animate it so it lifts. The sudden replace looks silly but good though.
|
Granted it does look a little weird. But rather then just lift up one model, I think I will try something else first.

that's really cool! looks kinda glitchy tho
|
The video is just a WIP, I should hopefully be able to address those glitchy looking bugs.

nice idea, looks interesting.
(you first damage from tiberian as human then you heal from it as mutant, odd stuff)
can a visceroid pick the crystal up?
Moding can be real Fun...

Well, the idea is, that if you hold the crystal long enough, it'll kill you, but mutate you into a visceroid. Walking on tiberian used to do this to infantry units in Tiberian Sun. Just a little fun, plus I saw in an old DA release it also did this.
A visceroid would be able to pick it up, yeah. I could disable that, but it seems logical that they could. Plus the visceroid is a really lame character to be.
Here is a little update...

Looks really nice bro. Liking the idea behind it. Should add a little bit more teamwork to the gameplay. I just have one question though:
In the latest video, idk if you had the damage on. But you were a chemtrooper. Will chemtroopers not take damage while picking up the tib crystal? If not, seems like Nod could win that tib crystal battle 99% of the time.

Yeah that's right, the chemtrooper doesn't take damage because of his suit. The damage type applied is "TiberiumRaw".
How would you suggest adding a teamwork element to it?

By making it so you can't drive or ride in a vehicle with the crystal. Cos that makes it too easy to get back to base with the crystal. It also means, that if people are going for it, they are a lot more vulnerable with it and will need some protection carrying it back.
This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

Also, on city, make it so that there is 2 crystals; one in each patch, but have it so that the crystals are closer to the road, so no team has an advantage over any of the crystals, as the team who's base it is near will have to go over tiberium for the short route or round it to survive, while the other team will have further to run anyway.

Basically that. Not allowing people to be able to ride in vehicles while using the tib crystal. It's going to take 2-3 people to be able to bring it back. With the tib damage + people going ot be shooting at you, 8 times out of 10 the first guy that picks up the crystal is going to die. Which it would require a bit of teamwork to get it back to your base.
