Due to multiple complains about free for all not being a good enough gameplay for Roleplay2. I am now working on a new gameplay mode for Roleplay2, PLECOS mode (which will be in Roleplay2 2.3).
*This is a co-op mode.
*This mod will not require a separate map to work, it can be dynamically be deployed into normal Roleplay2 or setup to always begin once a certain number of players are in game.
*Every time you die the weapons in your inventory receive a 10% ammo reduction.
*Your enemies will include:
-PLECOS
-Cats
-UFO's
-Fanatics that drive bomb rigged cars
-PETA Employees
-2 Bosses
*When you first spawn you will have low cash amount. Your starting weapons will include a knife and a pistol of some sort (1 of the 5 available in Roleplay2).
*Acquiring weapons will work the same as it does in normal Roleplay2, however I have placed a lot more weapon pt's on the map sense the 2.2 release, so this should make it more fun.
*As more objectives are accomplished, your inventory's max will be expanded so you can carry more weapons.
*No locations in Roleplay2 will be off limits; however going to them just makes it easier to lose control of the situation.
*The more players there are in game the harder the AI will be (larger swarms, more bots, etc.).
*Train station teleport teleports will be disabled, due to the AI not having any programming to use them (keep in mind I doubt anyone would think much of it if I did make the AI use the teleports lol, would make the conquest phase of this co-op really hard).
*You will only be able to go a certain distance while in the select spawn mode before you are forced to spawn (probably 50-100 meters).
How things play out:
*Your primary objective will be to prevent the PLECOS form getting to and destroying an object in the park. To proceed to the next phase of the mission, you have to kill a certain number of PLECOS. During this phase you won't be able to use the spawn room to spawn. You will automatically be spawned at key locations that the PLECOS have to make it past to get to the park. PLECOS are spawned in the desert originally, but as you get pushed back they start spawning at whatever positions you last held.
*Next you will be attacked by a boss, the boss's goal is to get to the park and destroy the object there (boss most likely will be a giant PLECO that shoots PLECOS at you or something).
*After Boss has been defeated you will be attacked by PETA (due to them being pissed at all the animal abuse). During this phase the gameplay style will change from defense to Battlefield style conquest, the only difference will be that your side won't have any "ticks" where as PETA will, however capturing all the control points will still end this phase much faster. In addition you won't have to worry about your objective in the park being attacked during this phase. PETA will automatically be granted a checkpoint or two to spawn from, however after that they will attempt to capture them all.
*Once that is done the final phase will begin, Greenpeace will attack with the final boss. You will now have a global life count, as well as have to defend your object in the park once more. This objective will be easier depending on how many control points you have as that will allow you to more tactically deploy. Also, you have a really big advantage if you have the park's cp captured beings that this is the target of the final boss.
*You win!

Hmm, I just noticed something that I need help with.
How do you get the people visible in the vehicles? I am using new models for my map and the cockpit of the new orca is very visible, and the recon bike uhh, looks empty.

This PLECOS Mod sounds interesting, it sounds like a server will have specifically run/switch to this PLECOS Mod in order to activate it as a gameplay mode for players?
Will the official Roleplay2 server be involved in that case, or will it be up to independed server owners to be hosting the PLECOS Mod if they desire it?

Right now it is a configure file, but I'm going to make the file have plenty of options, the server will be able to trigger PLECOS Mode on the following events amongst others:
*FORCE_PLECOS_MODE_AFTER_NUMBER_OF_ROUNDS: 0 Means that this will never be used to factor whether this round will be PLECOS mode or not. If the value is set to 1, every other round will be PLECOS mode, if set to 2 every two rounds will be PLECOS mode, etc. If -1 it is still every other round, however if -2 it will be 1 normal RP2 round after every two PLECOS mode rounds, etc.
*CHANCE_ROUND_IS_PLECOS_MODE: Value between 0 - 100, 100 means it will also be a PLECOS mode server, 0 means never, if it is between 0 and 100 its random percent chance that it will be PLECOS mode.
*PLECOS_MODE_MIN_START_TIME: This is the minimal amount of time PLECOS mode can wait to start if this round has been selected as a PLECOS mode round.
*PLECOS_MODE_MAX_START_TIME: This is the max amount of time PLECOS mode can wait to start if this round has been selected as a PLECOS mode round. (Not random if min and max are the same).
There will be a lot more options than this, but this is just to give you the general idea.

Which scripts are usable for this purpose? And do they require a new model?
|
The mode require new 3D models (Not saying any will look good, the PLECOS 'schools' are 25 2D PLECOS images each). And as almost all RP2 scripts they are being made from scratch on demand (IE I'm not done with them yet but expect to have several thousand new lines of code before it is done).
