    New Skulltag Released


    Linguica

    You've been awaiting it for ages, and now it's finally here: beta 8 of Skulltag has been released! That's right, it's a new version of the "CTF on Crack" mod which has become so much more. Since there's so much new stuff I'll just do some hardcore copy/pasting here, so get ready:

    A couple important notes:
    • The client/server isn't totally working yet. You can setup a server, and throw some bots in there, but the client end still seems to be pretty borked. I'm very close to fixing that, and will release a small patch upgrade when I do have it fixed. And believe me, I want this done as much as anyone. I want to play some CTF, Domination, etc... dammit :)
    • Some of the stuff in there isn't totally done yet, specifically d2dm2 and a couple of the new skins in there.
    • Meepy seems to have slipped in there. Um... ignore him :)
    So what's new in this version?
    • A new level (d2dm2).
    • Brand new "Multiplayer" menu for setting up network games, and single player botmatches (skirmishes).
    • Three new modes of deathmatch, including survival, scoremode, and instagib.
    • Several new skins, including the "Base II" skin, Chubbs's skin, and four monster skins.
    • New navigation system for the bots (they now get stuck far less).
    • Lots of new chat lines for the bots.
    • Bots can now respond to other bots' comments.
    • The teamgame mode has been revamped and greatly improved.
    • Scoreboard problems have been fixed.
    • A new grenade bouncing sound ('bout time, eh?)
    • Many, many secret bots.
    • Client/server (well, almost).
    • Bots now recognize teams (and can play in teamplay and teamgame mode).
    • Taunting
    • Several new display features (including displaying player names)
    • /me support
    • mewse
    What are you waiting for? Go get it!

    Alright, well, I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to word this..

    Including me in the list of things "new in this version" sort of implies that mewse was not included in the previous versions of this great mod. My question is, why not? Have you lost any common sense you used to have, Carnevil? Stop acting like you're twelve.

    Mewse is a funny word. For that reason (and quite possibly that reason only) he's got you beat. :)

    Carnevil, I think you misunderstood me.
    read the question again, and it had nothing to do with what mewse said. But you anounced on the st news page, it says carnevil on the top. I don't mean to be rude but it started to frustrate me.

    Yay, I love that secret bots are included. I've already found 3, and I'm still looking for more. Very cool idea. I'm not going to tell anyone who they are, I agree with Risen that people should find them themselves. Just experiment with different names and you should find some secret bots pretty quickly.

    since mewse is a listed new feature on skulltag, well I havn't seen all the secret bots, so mewse must be a secret bot. If not then I am gonna whoop his ass, and carnevil's ass for putting that on the news, and ling's ass, afaik he makes the polls, and he has HISSY!!

    Yeah, Doomcrate's my personal fave, too :) It's just so hilarious watching a box run around, and sometimes kill you :)

    I also like doomcrate, one thing that really cracked me up is 'DOOMCRATE: FUCK!!!! ... I mean "..." '

    skulltag kicks ass! but, you need the rocket launcher to use the grnade launcher, and you need rockets as ammo for the grenade launcher. I wish real deathmatch were sort of like this, on csdoom no one knows each other and they never talk, I always wanted some humor during deathmatch games. btw, is there gonna be a client/serve launcher like in cs, so you can join any game, and you can make csdoom games private so ppl who you don't know couldn't come in. hmm, the impaling damage doesn't work.

    One thing that bothers me is that the Teamplay modes don't work in Skirmish, if at all. In fact almost none of the modes work yet. How the heck are you supposed to make teams?

    Like this.
    <consol commands>
    Team <team color>
    addbot <botname> <team color>
    addbot <botname> <team color>
    addbot <botname> <team color>
    addbot <botname> <team color>
    addbot <botname> <team color>

    Yeah... I only got bot teamplay in there like Thursday, so I really haven't had much time to tweak setting a teamplay game up in the skirmish menu. I'll think of something.

    BTW WaveLength, yer tagline kicks ass!

    Unfortunetly, the addbot<botname><team> thing doesn't work. Do you mean to say, in the console, type

    addbot "crash" "red"

    ?

    Yeah. When doing teamplay deathmatch, "addbot <botname> <teamname that you want the bot to be on>" So, like if you wanted to do a 2 on 2 game... let's say "Humans" vs. "Monsters," do like:

    addbot chubbs humans
    addbot cacodemon monsters
    addbot zombieman monsters

    ... and that should work just fine.

    just to clear something up: You may not be able to play teamplay if you don't specify it. The easiest way to make sure is set

    deathmatch 1
    teamplay 1

    in the console; then go on adding bots to teams. Teamgame doesn't work well yet either. In both cases these bots will be excellent because Carn has the task of making them work in my levels. :)

    If you want to put bots on your team make sure you set your team. Like in Carn's example, make sure you go to the console and set:

    team humans

    someone should list the names of the secret bots theyve found so far. I know all of them, hehe, and I know one no one might ever find...

    I've tried Need For Speed III tactics for finding the secrets -- beat every game mode. I already beat the bots in Instagib (standard skill) on all three DM maps, along with Score Mode. I tried playing through all of Deathmatch on the standard Doom2.wad but I got stuck in a teleport destination at level 20.

    Can someone list the way to get at least ONE secret bot unlocked? I haven't had any luck so far and I don't see how it's possible to get 23 secret bots when I've already beaten two of the game modes.
