Uebergame 1.1.1.0 released

Submitted by Duion on

This version adds 3 complete new levels in the tropical pacific style, with 4 variations each as known from the other levels, like at dawn, by day, by night and in rain.

1.Pazifik_Kitney_Beach: A small tropical island with moderately dense vegetation, it is very symmetrical, to offer better balance on teamplay modes.

2.Pazifik_Gardens: A small tropical island in the form of an atoll with more orderly and thicker vegetation with occasional flowerbeds.

3.Pazifik_Watertown: This level has no land, it is a small town of primitive wooden huts completely build on poles in the shallow ocean, around a big lighthouse, that has fully walkable interiors.


Apart from the new levels there have not been many changes except some small adjustments and bugfixes.

Other changes in this version are:

-Particle effect have been adjusted more to the ambient light, so they are no longer that bright in dark areas.

-Random tips on level loading.

-Slightly improved postFX settings on some darker levels.

-Fixed a bug saying "password required" where it would lock people out of the game, or making them not being able to launch games when they had a password set previously on hosting a server.

-Of course lots of new textures, 3D models etc that are used in the new levels and of course can be used when building new levels in the editor.

-And as always a bunch of small changes not worth mentioning.

The new Pazifik Dee Am Islands level is compatible with all current game types.
Each team starts diagonally opposed on the map on its own island, the Flag for RtF game type is placed on the small island in the middle and must be brought back to the island the team started on, but the capture point is placed further away from the spawn points to give the other team better chances to prevent captures.

The new game type is called "Marked for Death". The goal here for each team is to kill the other teams marked player and protect their own mark. The first player joining a team will become the marked and he will get a flag attached to him in his teams color so everyone can see who is the mark. When the marked is killed the next player spawning will become the new marked, the player that was the mark before will get a short protection from becoming the new mark so another player can become the mark if possible.

Uebergame 1.0.9.0 released

Submitted by Duion on

​Version 1.0.9.0 adds 4 new maps and a new game type called RtF (Retrieve the Flag)

​

​The rules for Retrieve the Flag are as follows:

​Each team starts in his own base or on their own side, its the same spawns as in Team Deathmatch. Then players have to get the flag that is placed somewhere in the map on a flag spawner and bring it to a capture point.

​Flag spawners are usually placed somewhere in the middle of the map and there can be multiple of those depending on map settings. If there are multiple flag spawners, the flag will randomly appear on one of those if the first flag was captured. Multiple flag spawners allow for a bit more dynamic gameplay so more areas of the map will be used and need to be covered.

​Once a flag is taken it has to be brought to a capture point, which is usually the same model as a flag spawner, but in the team's color. So if you are in the blue team and got the flag, you have to bring it to a blue capture point. The capture point is usually placed in the team's own base/spawn, but it can be placed anywhere depending on map settings and there can also be multiple capture points. The flag can also be thrown, which allows for additional tactical variations, its like passing the ball in football games etc.

​Capturing the flag or killing the flag carrier gives bonus points, but in the end the match is won only through reaching the capture limit.

​

​The 4 new maps are all for the paintball game type and are located in a pit with walls around and feature the inflatbale paintball barriers like in the previous Gummifeld maps.

Most of the maps have been upgraded to work with the new game types, except some maps where the RtF game type would not work so well, like the small paintball fields.

Another new feature is that you can set score limits for all game types now in the server options, in case you want to host a game and modify those settings.

Besides all of that there are also some small changes and bufixes, but nothing special, like some changes to the lighting in the dawn missions to make it less dark and new bullet water impact particles and a new denser rain effect.
