Ok.. Thought I'd give people a little Christmas present and have created a new game type: "Survivor"
You start as the prey (Blue team) and when killed by the predator, you are assimilated and join him on his team to help kill the remaining prey.
When on the blue team (the hunted), you score 2pts per enemy kill.
When on the green team (the hunters), you only score 1pt per enemy kill.
If you are the last surviving green player, you get a survival bonus of 5pts. Then the round resets and all players become the hunted again.
Have fun..

hunting Predator, which is boring. Then in a few minutes hunters team grows
very fast and round ends in a short time. The only fun is to hide on the cliff edge
(to wait there is boring, but in the end it is funny).

I didnt like Survivor. Most of the time teams are not even, a lot of time people spend hunting Predator, which is boring. Then in a few minutes hunters team grows
very fast and round ends in a short time. The only fun is to hide on the cliff edge
(to wait there is boring, but in the end it is funny).

Would it be possible to raise the fog to keep people from sitting on the cliffs to hide, I think this would make the rounds go a little faster?

new MissionArea(MissionArea) {
area = "-256 -256 512 512";
flightCeiling = "200";
flightCeilingRange = "0";

change floor to desirable level

4 new danger-zone maps are being created especially for Survivor, but until then, the settings will remain.
Cliff hanging is a stratey - though i.m.o. a poor one. There are lots of points available from being out in the field.. not to mention the fact that a smoking green tank is a moving (and shooting) health powerup just waiting to be taken but an enterprising blue.

The cliffs are higher than a majority of the land. Raising the fog to cover the cliffs will make much of the terrain un-usable.4 new danger-zone maps are being created especially for Survivor, but until then, the settings will remain.

Your last post confuses me. In Survivor does a Blue prey regain health by killing a Green hunter?

first hunter (Shark, Fox, ...) I noticed that pred. bot takes
quite awhile to get a kill and it is usally from friendly
fire.
Just a thought

Great mod!

quite awhile to get a kill and it is usally from friendly

I hadn't considered using the survivor as a secondary hunter at the start of the next round, and I quite like that idea.
Anyone else care to oppose or back this idea?

My first thought was to have the survivor be the next rounds first hunter. However, it then occured to me that he/she could just leave and there would be no hunter - hence I introduced a full time bot to permanently fill the first hunter role.I hadn't considered using the survivor as a secondary hunter at the start of the next round, and I quite like that idea.

Meh, it bothers me so that people who lose often try and erase the victor's advantage, even though the tactic is total equal access. cowboy up.

People would want to stick around long enough to score lots of 2pt kills, but would be trying to be the penultimate survivor in order to stay blue for as long as possible the next round..

Actually there's a point there (somewhere) I think.. People would want to stick around long enough to score lots of 2pt kills, but would be trying to be the penultimate survivor in order to stay blue for as long as possible the next round..

I often see people leave, then return once they become a "HUNTER".... not really fair... but otherwise, nice mod!-Roach

Survivor goes WAY beond Modwizard. This kind of thing requires you to alter scripts which, unless you know what ur doing, can seriously bugger up the game. Modwizard is merely a tool for the placement of objects. Nothing more.
