Old Fashion CTF just like Grandma used to play
Bringing back the ol fashion CTF game I used to run, I never got to really flesh out the bugs last time in 2016-2017 because at the time people were irrationally insane about plugins and wouldn't try it
Anyways I tested the plugin and game server today, still seems to work somehow 5 years later. I added a /ctfhelp command to the plugin and updated it on voupr if anyone wants to try it out:
https://voupr.spenced.com/plugin.php?name=csctf
Current game state:
Players are round robin assigned between team 1 and 2
Team 1 base is Sedina D14
Team 2 base is Bractus D9
Gameplay:
Travel to the enemy base station and buy 1cu of the cheapest lightest cargo you can, if there is no flag active that piece of cargo is now the flag!
Take that cargo back to your base to score, turbo will not function while carrying the flag so be good at pvp or have good defenders
When a flag is dropped you have 3 minutes to recover it before it is reset
Known problems:
-You need to use a plugin (cool stuff like this used to be built in)
-Someone could show up in a sector the flag was dropped and dump a whole bunch of that cargo everywhere to be a dick however the first one picked up would become the flag so to hell with that person
-if you leave the game you might get reassigned to the other team when you come back, I haven't put the effort into better team selection yet as there wasn't enough demand to the game at the time
-No stats yet beyond team score as I want the engine worked out first before I start tracking stuff
-You could possibly break the turbo limiting somehow as it is local to the player, if your goal is to cheat just go away and don't bother me with your bs

Do you plan to have this as an ongoing thing or an organised event at a set time for a set duration?
The server is currently running all the time so anyone can play it any time right now, I'm not going to organize an event until ive had a few small 3-4 player rounds to make sure it isnt going to blow up in my face the second it is under load as I havent used it since 2017 until Tuesday
This sounds really fun. I bet we could come up with lots of objective based team games, like it. I wish I could say that I'm in, but life won't let me make promises, right now. Zombie +1
