As seen on the
GenArena homepage, we're taking submissions for custom settings on a per-map basis!
Here's some examples
Example #1:
gen-q2dm1
{
fraglimit 20
timelimit 25
genflags 23
dmflags 64
bot_minplayers 3
}
This would set up gen-q2dm1 (The Edge Revisited) as Strogg-only, powerups drop, and the obvious frag/time limits and up to 3 bots.
Example #2:
Genstart2
{
fraglimit 20
timelimit 20
genflags 31
dmflags 64
bot_minplayers 6
}
Same setup as before, with random-only (what better for Eternal Arenas, eh?) and 6 minimum players.
Example #3:
q3mckinley
{
capturelimit 5
timelimit 30
genflags 64
dmflags 10304
bot_minplayers 4
g_hookthrow 650
g_hookpull 650
g_redteam slipgate
g_blueteam strogg
}
This one is more complicated. Time and caplimits are obvious. Genflags 64 enables class-based teams. Those teams are defined as slipgate and strogg by g_redteam/g_blueteam. There's a minimum of 4 players. DMflags enable grapple, among other things. The grapple flies and pulls at 650 units/second. (Q2CTF settings)
Note the syntax as well. Mapname first, then open bracket, then the variables, then the close bracket. Each item on its own line. This is important.
So there you go. This is your chance as the GenArena community to actively play a role in Gen's development.
