I wouldn't really call this a real time cause meteor is already real time. The .bat file doesn't seem to work, but mod manager works. Now the total mods (incomplete and complete) total 5. Regular m2 and my work in progress included. I did notice some problems. Like in the first map you can get out of the starting area without choosing a team. Also when the command thing is destroyed, it's gone for good. You should either make it stronger or make it respawnable in some way.

Its just a beta, but I decided to release it, and let everyone know how to make Multiplayer teams. Please note that this really isn't a mod. When all the RTSS stuff is done, it will be incuded with Meteor2, but for now, I have much more control over it by placing it as a mod on meteormods.com The MCC object is helpful, but you don't really have to have to to play. I'm working on a way to prevent enemies on the other team from stealing it. (my evil little brother always does this.) Did you manage to um... build anything? If you go to the "T"s on the maps, you can get "tech" levels, and build more stuff =D Glad you liked it, and keep the feed back coming. =D =D =D =D Edited: 02 March 2006 22:11 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Yes this is very good, really impressive work. Perhaps I could make a few changes to M2 to make it more RTS friendly like... - Add an RTS mode (SC_SetRtsMode() or something) - Add unit command control when in RTS mode, like click/lassoo select and set AI mode. - Figure out some sort of goal, ideally the player would not play but you would just control units. Then when all the enemy's units are wasted you win? Oh and you really need to make that map list. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Yes I did figure out the tech passes. Meteor2 REAL needs to have like a wizard or sometihng to create more ideas like that. And James, I think you over did it with the chinooks on the screen shot (SOLID CHINOOKS!). I'm thinking of making a counter strike like mod. Do you know that game?

Glad you liked if, James. I think you will realize that if you DON'T cheat, you won't be able to spawn 45,000 chinooks. You wouldn't even spawn them either, because you would realize that you really only need about 5 to win. I've found a way to keep the MCCs from getting stolen. When an enemy jumps in, their car alarm will sound, and they will stop moving. I got the maplist, and a few fixes, but I didn't fix the boat on the bridge stuff.(I did replicate the error though) What happens is that when a vehicle that isn't moving by itsself hits a teleporter, it is not teleported. You may be able to fix this, but I'm not sure. I have updated the maps (lavamarsh didn't work in mp) and altered the script.

Wow, this is really remarkable. Anything to help it alittle more and make them easy to make by other people would be great too JB  I'm not a fan of the bases being objects though, i would rather them be sectored buildings (fits in with M2's level design) with destructable walls (once that is a working option). But even so, it would be impossible to do with script, there would have to be an impossibly high number of checks going on not to mention tracking a every player one map. Also, having the money laying around the map and the tech levels is just to easy in a real MP game. Remeber that this is a powerup, and they do come back after 5 or so seconds. And everyone being able to use the contruction thing can get out of hand. This is really sweet, but (from a beta standpoint) it needs some refining in some area's before it will possibly work on a MP game with 5+ people on each team and yet not be to easy to do things (such as buy things, as money is all over the map and constantly respawns)

=D I'm not a fan of the bases being objects though. --I could make a less RTSS style where all your stuff is purchased on terminals in bases. --Its about 30 seconds for money respawn, and by then, you can easilly spend $30000 And everyone being able to use the contruction thing can get out of hand. --Working on this money is all over the map and constantly respawns --This is a good thing. When you get in a chinook, you get $10000 Its amazingly fun in mp with 4+ players. The bottom line... As of now, its just another mp game. play for kills, not bases. (thats why I killed my own base yesterday) You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I've been testing, and working on the rtss thing in mp ever since the toolbar functions were added. I just got done with a 1v1 match on the new and improved RTSS_Base.map Basically, I was swamped by Spacedarts, and a little mean guy on a hoverboard with a 50cal gun. Needless to say, he won 2-0. Since I'm on dialup, so its hard for me to get online, and host, but I have 4 working computer in my house, and plnety of friends who play it with me over my network.(I'm hoping for a 3v3 tomorrow.=D) Maybe we can get a rtss game going tomorrow morning.

Another update. This one fixes tons of bugs You can't steal the original MCC, or build stuff with it.(it stops moving and destroyes the toolbar) You can build the Stingray Backup Helicoper, the MRLS(edited so that it does 50X3 damage, not 15X3) and most importantly the MCC. You now have cool looking buttons for the C4 stuff, and when you drop the fusion bomb, its a fusion bomb, not a worthless c4 clusterbomb. If you destroy it, you can't detonate it, but you can place another one. I also edited the Base map to be more interesting =D You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I couldn't get into chat, because I removed java from my pc. Yahoo messenger is a free program that allows people to send instant messeges to other people online. More info @ messenger.yahoo.com Now for the important stuff. I played M2 RTSS yesterday with 4 players on my lan, and IT NEVER CRASHED!!!! I was amazed. The only mp related error was that 2 peoples "on object type enter" got switched so that the bomb shop was the factory, the barracks was the bomb shop, the dropsite was the barracks and the factory was the dropsite. The other error was that after two peoples base was destroyed, they joined the opposite team, and were a general pain. Then somehow someone spawned with a fusion cannon, and obliterated everyone in the spawnpoint. Then the next player who spawned got the gun, and it repeated. Would there be a way to code in mp teams? I uploaded the rtss mod again, so you now get infanrty =D You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

How many updates are you planing mantis? You should add another map to the next update so we won't grow bored. I can make a map for rtss if you want. It would also be a good idea to add music to the maps, but that's just my opinion. Edited: 05 March 2006 23:13 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

@ Karate_Pawn Greetz & GG =D I think the team setting should be in the MP options, not in the game. I'm not sure how I can lock you out of enemy buildings, but if the map started with buildings, I could fix that. @ VR_Rat I'm gonna update this public RTSSmode test until its balenced and built into the next Meteor 2 update. I created a map that should keep you happy for a bit. Its a single player tutorial map. If you would like to create maps, I'd love to have them. We probably don't need more than 10 RTSS maps. @ aleksanteri This is a mode, not a mod, so I'm not sure I need to add music to it. It would also take longer for me to uploaded if I added music. @ everyone I'll be updating it again tonight, with the new map and altered tech levels. When you want level 3, you have to raid the enemy base to get half of the needed items. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

VVEERRYY funny mantis (meteormods.com). Anyway, with the previous rtss I made a three player map. If you want music for this than play minus_up_to_sky or whatever it is. Should this be on meteormods instead? Oh and while I'm at it, shouldn't the battle walker be removed from the site since it's now in the meteor installer?

Well you are at least only half bored now, right? lol I'll see about removing that battle walker, and I can't wait to play your map. I played rtss mode for about 3 hours today with my brother, and we worked out some extra bugs. I also added infantry, and changed their costs. (Sorry. The sniper does have to cost $27023) I also started working on an urban map. The most coolest update is the bomber. It shoots a land based train bomb. It costs a C4, and will stop when it hits anything(even water). If its destroyed, it will deal 500 damage in a 200 pixel blast radius. Its a great anti-turret weapon. I even uploaded it for y'all to enjoy! Any suggestions/comments/bugs from y'all? I'd suggest you play a H2H game, start on one team, do giveitem all, build them a giant base, kill yourself, and fight it as the other team. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I played your map, and its pretty cool. the icebergs keep ppl from sniping you from across the map. The only problem was that GNV, and ROD and Enemy don't attack anything but allies. There is a script command that sets what sides attack what. You should implement that. I have put the tech level stuff back to normal, and altered the infantry. The snipers now cost $80,000. I will release the next version when I get done with RTSS_CITY. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Can I also Join this test?, the mod is cool,............................... but you should make bluildings that generate income, because it`s hard to find the $10000, plus whit it you can`t buy much things. The battle walker is cool, you should better don`t remove it from the mod; a other thing will be great to see is that there are some respawning points wich you can "claim", to respawn here, and be able to bluit things here whit more securiti (Also it will be cool to add teleporters to captured bases, the you can teleport back to a captured point or your homebase). Well, put simpli, the mod is cool, but it needs a feed more thins....such as the ones I suggested (It`s a suggestion: You can decide to add these or no).

Thanks for the feedback! I'd love to test the mod out with people over the internet, but it didn't work the last time I tried. I mainly play it woth friends at my house. >Buildings that generate income< This is a cool idea. I think I will add a refinery site. When you enter it, it gives you 1 card that can be taken to the barracks or some other building, and redeemed for credits. I tried to put a orange square on each spot where there is a 10000 credit powerup, so you could find them on the minimap. >Battle walker< I will leave this in, because its in the game, not in my mod. >Capturable Spawn Points< This would be really fun, but I'm now sure how to do it. I will probably be able to add somthing like this when the next meteor 2 release comes out. >teleporters< This would be fun. You could build a teleporter base building in your base, and up to 3 teleporters elsewhere on the map. You would enter the building, and press a teleport toolbar button and it would transfer you to whichever teleporter you choose. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Its about time for an update. Fixed the Base map with Fuzinavl's great suggestions. Now you don't get automatically sniped from across the map. Fixed VR_Rat's ice map. We sorta didn't have Team1 spelled with a capitol T. Added AI control toggle for easier unit control. Now you hit a button to set AI control, and hit it again to turn it off. Added a nice way to get $$: the Derrick. When you are in the derrick, you click on a toolbar, and it gives you credits. The only problem is that the derrick it highly explosive. Placing it in your base will help you gain funds faster, but can end up destroying your base. I can't really make teleporters, or changed spawnpoints, so this is pretty much done.

Why don't I? Well I guess if you want a reason why I haven't included a remote type-in-your-own-doom teleporter is that you can't type stuff in in mp games. Other than that I would do it.
