Blast City - Awkward Cargo

[elypter]

That's my newest map. As you can see it is a cargoship/ferry.

The goal is to push your opponent into the water. No weapons and only driving is allowed. The Arena is the northern deck.
There is no scripting yet and the carpark is a random selection because because which cars are best for battle can only be found out by playing

Features:
-slighly modified uk.sty, the original conversion of gta london textures from Pyro.
-moving water
-sounds
-a little "easter egg"
-live counter
-19(26 planned) 29 Surprise Items (many are good, some are neutral and some are bad) that spawn on one of the 4 places. Some are simple car weapons others are complex scripts. these are the reason for the 2200(atm in non released version) 3222 lines of code.

to use the powerups collect them, press fire, press horn or both. and be warned: not all powerups are good ones!

Please test and post your experiences about which car has which advantages or which car properties are useful in battle.

i did some updaes

[elypter]

i added many things to the script. its ~1650 lines now.

[Sektor]

You could use the scores to display life count. ADD_SCORE (p1, -100000), ADD_SCORE (p1, p1lives), something like that.

[elypter]

its already implemented (i hope also in the uploaded version). it counts down from 10 000 000 in steps of 100 000. so you have 100 "score lives". this way you can play with more lives than 10 if you want and also with more than 4 players.

[elypter]

i did a lot of coding again and added many new items.
in such a huge script it is possible that i missed 1 or 2 bugs. So please report if you find one.

trivia: with 3222 lines of code it is the most complex multiplayer script for gta2 now

[elypter]

many things improved again. this is the first time i had to reduce the script size to stay below the max of 3014 code lines

[elypter]

fixed some bugs

[elypter]

changes:

• the false counting bug and the out of car teleport bug have been fixed. it should be mostly error free now.
• added a Lite version that only has classic powerups.
• powerup respawn time has been reduced drastically.
