[Deathmatch game mode]

version 1.3 included

Deathmatch Created By Briscoe
Original code from MicrostarGameMode by A New Hope

* Object of this mode is to kill the other team. When the game starts, all players
have all their AP points available to spend on units. After the game starts, all unit buying is banned and all players are stuck with the units they have. This increases the importance of every unit and greatly improves the use of tactics in the game. When all player units on you team are killed your team looses.

Victory Conditions:
* Killing all enemy player units (excludes perimeter point fortifications)

Features:
* Buying session is 150 seconds long, starting when the server finishes
loading the map.
*If no players have deployed units after 150 seconds game is delayed another 150 seconds
* Players who join after the buying session will have to wait for
another round. Suggest spectating until then.
* Game can be played in Few Player Mode for large scale battles.
* Can play with bots. Bot bugs have been fixed in v1.1
* Player scores are now shown correctly. Fixed in v1.2
* Server Bugs discovered and now fixed. Fixed in v1.2

[Random Ta feature in all game modes]

* Every minute you will be given a random set of 10 TA. Makes the games tougher and very intense.

Caution, this may cause world in conflict to crash upon detonation of the nuke, let me know if this happens so I can make it stable for all machines :-). No crashes have been reported.

SWEET!!! just what I was looking for! Thanks man, release it soon :D

Sounds cool, keep it up :)

eeeee i like helicopter gun thing

Might I ask how you got extra units to be with the engineer as a squad?

Every time I have tried it (by going into the squad section under myParasites and adding additional members) it didn't quite work (it ended up spawning a ridiculous amount of engineers - quite confusing when I was only trying to add an additional rifleman to follow him).

I had to rewrite all the code for the engineer, took me a little while lol. He is normally a stand alone unit like any tank or helicopter. The infantry squads don't work that way, there is a squad and it references all the different infantry codes and include them in the squad. I had to make a standalone engineer troop, then reference it and the other three units in the normal engineer unit.

Take a look at the normal infantry squad, copy it and change all the code so its an engineer lol. Then copy a marine and make him the engineer troop. Pretty much what I did lol :-).

Version 1.0 is now available!

KiTHAiTAA if your reading this, I'm locked out of editing the page with my mod on it, can you fix this? Sorry for the double post on wicbase, technical difficulties.

Briscoe cud you share how you learned to edit the multiplayers ai unit selection?
maybe you found a tutorial if not culd you release one because it seems that only you kreated the first ai mod and know how to mod it i realy wait for your reply because i want to edit the ai and there are alot of people that want to do the same.

Hey Justinas91,

I would love to share the AI, I'm glad you like it so much. Right now I'm very busy so it might be a little while before I can compile a decent tutorial and work out a few bugs.

B-)

Hey Everyone, Version 1.5 is now available for download

I wanted to include the unit costs that were changed in update 6, and add a few new things. This does not include all the changes in update 6 however, hopefully soon.

If massive could release a Version 6 of the modkit, that would be awesome! B-)

well ... they released a new version of the modkit with version 6. :)
unfortunately they missed the change-list, so we can see which files were changed.

I just wanted to say that i love the new changes in this version of your mod its awesome. keep up the great work with this fanstatic mod.

Hey Everyone!

Version 2.0 is coming, I wanted to let people know what I have been working on. Spring break is around the corner, so expect it fairly soon:

Fortifications tweaked!
*All of them have been balanced and made into useful defensive structures worth having on the battlefield. More to come.

New Tactical Aids!
*Airdrop Command Vehicle: You can now call in the command vehicle just like the jeep to aid in your fight. Command Vehicle has been removed from the reinforcements tab.
*Airdrop Anti-Infantry Fortification:
*Airdrop Anti-Tank Fortification:
*Airdrop Anti-Air Fortification:
*New tactical aids have pictures on the activation buttons and have custom markers that show up on the battlefield.

nice it would be cool if they had stinger sites like in bf2 as aa forts except when there would be a 3 circle command point

Holy shit Briscoe that sounds cool. I was thinking about tweaking the fortifications and making them tougher but the Airdrop sounds awesome. Hey I got some questions on the commander.ai. I'll make a new thread. Meet me at the Commander.ai thread please.

when is this being realeased ? i cant wait much longer without chewing my own arms off....hehe. fortifications that actually do something sounds awesome & the ability to drop them anywhere seems too good to be true.

goddamn want it now. stop the torture & realease it will ya lol.

Hang in there, don't start gnawing just yet! I have a new weapon I want to add, I just had a successful launch, now I need to implement it. I think you guys will like it, just wait :-)

Possible will release it tonight B-)

[Edit]: It will be released tomorrow instead of tonight, I want to make sure everything is perfect B-)

Hey Everyone, V2.0 Is now available for download!

I have spent allot of time making sure that everything works the way its supposed to. I hope everyone loves the new changes made. Here is a small list of whats new.

* Command vehicle is a tactical aid
* All fortifications have been made stronger and more useful
* Added a airdrop fortification TA, one for each fortification type
* Nukes crater size has been increased by 50%
* And lastly, there is a new unit on the block. I have added a Heavy Nuke Artillery, capable of launching nuclear warheads. This unit is deployed via an airdrop, it is allot of fun B-)

Enjoy my mod, and feel free to leave me comments, I love peoples feedback. B-)

hey that was my idea i dont care though ;)

Ok, ... you are the guy who motivated me to add the "edit" option on mods *g*

;-)

Fantastic fun droppin those fortifications into frontlines & reinforcing CP's around the lines of attack & that nuke artillery is a good laugh. Overall a damn fine job. It was worth the wait. Can't wait to see what u do with next version now hehe (although this will keep me occupied for a while).

Briscoe,

Wow! You really out did yourself with this mod update. My sons and I played all day yesterday. The nuke artillery was incredibly fun. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

BriscoeMod is definitely great fun, even more with the new release.

What I find most funny is that the nuclear artillery can accidentally impact things other than its intended target. I fired a shot once and the missile hit a hill rather than where I targeted it =].

Briscoe,

I don't know if this has been brought up before but have you considered adding a Forward Observer/Fire Support Specialist into the fray; a single soldier or fire support squad capable of calling in artillery and air support? I'm not too sure what would happen with the balance of the game, but I thought that adding a 13 Foxtrot to the mix would really liven up the game and add a counter to your and Gundug's Electronic Warfare Specialist/Command Vehicle, not to mention the nuke artillery. You've done an awesome job with these modifications. Keep up the good work.

Keeshondown

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I'm glad you are enjoying it! B-)

Hey Keeshondown, Thanks for your impute. I am brainstorming some new abilities and TA that have no warning markers, so it can be used against the command vehicle without warning ;-) . I could possibly do this with other TA, like the heavy air support and the air to air strike not leaving any markers, for silent search and destroy missions. What you think?

I also plan on doubling the range of all airborne artillary strikes, now you can really call in those artillary strikes you wanted.

um it says you can custom backgrounds in the mod but how?

Hey Kiwis0ldier, sorry for the confusion. I meant that the custom background I made will show up in the main menu screen, something different than the origional.
