As seen on the GenArena homepage, we're taking submissions for custom settings on a per-map basis!

Here's some examples

Example #1:
Code:
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:
Code:
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:
Code:
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. Slipgate - Wink

So there you go. This is your chance as the GenArena community to actively play a role in Gen's development.

A few things to keep in mind...

1)  DO NOT include gametype changes in the rotations.  There are separate rotation files for each gametype.  Calling a gametype change from within a map rotation will cause the server to switch to the other rotation file when the gametype changes.  This means anything past that point in the first rotation file will be ignored, so don't do that.

2)  bot_minplayers is DOUBLED for team games.  if you set bot_minplayers 3 you get  6 bots in TeamDM or CTF until real non-bot clients join.

3)  If you want to control how many maximum players are in a team game you can use g_maxgameclients to limit the number of people actually playing, and g_teamforcebalance 1 to ensure teams don't stack too heavy to one side or another.

4)  Remember, any cvars set on a map will remain persistant until reset on another map.  If we set dmflags or genflags, fraglimit, etc, on one map we'll need to set them on every other map within a specific gametype.  Important to remember especially for random map rotations.

5)  If you do a callvote on any settings that are scripted you MUST callvote either a new map or a map_restart afterwards for them to take effect.  If the map exits normally any settings that have been voted on will be overwritten by the script for the next map in the que.

6)  Suggestions are just that.  We reserve the right to edit for mistakes and/or bad judgement. Slipgate - Smile~

Those are all the cautionary notes I can think of for now. :rules:

Can bot_minplayers work with random-only? Doom - Huh? Edit: Apparently, it does. But it doesn't force random class for bots. Hmm.

Also, what makes Deadmeat a Doom map? Doesn't seem to fit the generation...

Also, can you make repeat entries? Say that I want Doom-only DM AND all-classes GenDM on Dead Simple.

Didn't get past Episode 1. The environment doesn't resemble Doom in the least, anyway, and it resembles Q1 in terms of environment and gameplay anyway. Traps and remote triggers, anyone?

Shame on you!  All you've seen is the Phobos base.  Believe me, Doom's environments change radically in Episode 2 and 3, and Doom II even more so.

Deadmeat looks nothing like Q1. Besides, judgements like that cannot be passed based solely on the shareware episode. Or did you buy the game and are just crap at it? Slipgate - Laugh

I never recalled any squash-traps in Doom. Nor did I recall any two-tier maps.

Will someone answer my other question?

Doom had crushing ceilings on E2M2, E2M4, to name two prominant maps.  As for two-tiered maps, remember Doom had some fairly severe engine restrictions.  Sectors could not exist one on top of another.  Elevation changes could only be accomplished by stairs and/or elevating platforms.  Doom II had several maps where you had upper and lower areas that played fairly independantly but overlooked each other.  You had to access the upper area by an elevating platform, stair, or specially placed teleporter, and you could always hop back down to the lower area.  In this respect there were two-tiered areas in Doom.

To get things back on track, here's another more:

Code:
q1dm4v2
{
timelimit 15
fraglimit 50
dmflags 33216
genflags 27
}

The Bad Place, time/fraglimit is obvious, DMflags (powerups drop, no footsteps, spawn farthest, force respawn), GENflags (Slipgate Only)

Should make for a fast and completely hectic match

From here on out, PLEASE only post your submissions or discuss others' submissions here. Let's not get sidetracked.

I SAID, can we have multiple entries for a single map on the same list?
