10 trains getaway

Its a weird map where you drive around and try to not explode.



Close to crash animations:

Luck times two:

Dead-end ... or not:

Luck times three:

The car will explode if it hits a car, ped or a train. Or if you get score any other way e.g. shooting. (but only after you get inside a car). and if you run out of time ofc.

Here is the map files, its pretty much work in progress, feel free to improve it:

Current version supports max 2 players, though its not a big deal to add support for more (just repeat code & replace).

Thanks to Sektor for finding out ELSE's doesnt work, saved me from mental hospital again.

Havent decided the name yet, ideas?

Hehe, looks like a fun map. The cars also keep spawning to make crossing harder?

Perhaps you can even make it a multi-player map where the cars have VMG.

For the name:
Trainwreck


P.s. Aren't it 12 trains? :o

:O good idea! didnt think of that. i was thinking to add peds/cars driving around there once you have survived long enough, but spawning more stand-alone cars seems like a good idea!

and destroy all the trains ? :D

Add vmg and put respawning vehicles and player spawn points on platforms over the trains. under the platforms there should be no place to hide from the trains.

the trickiest part is to get more kills than suicides but it might not be that hard. its an open area and if you have vmg its quite easy to hit a player quite often. if you hit someone and he then after a few moments get hit by a train you will get the frag like if you shoot someone who then jumps into water.

oh and make the trains indestructable in gci.

i dont think VMG would be a good idea. the cars must drive so fast that your bullets just wont even hit anyone... you will rather hit the enemy with your car than with your bullets. and hitting a car with a car will cause explosion... and i dont want to change that or the trains becomes less dangerous since you would die only from the front-hit.

anyways... this map was supposed to be something different than just "KILL KILL KILL!!!" like every other map out there. i didnt expect gta2 fans to like this anyways; you love shooting and destroying things. i like to drive around and find the fastest path and make it perfect, you would understand if you played old nintendo games like Contra :D

That is possible? :shock: how? cant it be possible to make wreck-cars indestructible as well? and all other cars that will crash gta2 when they explode? (HOTDOG_D1-4)

sure you can. otherwise the train on tyfo army would explode all the time when it drives over road traffic.

dont know, i didnt try that out yet. just set anti-strength to 0

In nyc.gci, change f1.000 {anti strength} to f0.001 {anti strength} for all the vehicles that you want indestructible.

In mmp file, you can add GCIFile = 10trains.gci, so you don't have to overwrite nyc.gci but that only works if you start through network window.

f0.001 ? thats practically indestructable too but why not f0.000 ?

I also like to do that in GTA2. Drive as fast as possible, as long as possible without hitting something. Now I sometimes do that in GTA 4 on the fastest bike. :)

Close encounters are of course the best part of the racing. [electrofingers]

trains doesnt explode from driving over cars. they only explode if you shoot them. doesnt even explode from nearby car explosions etc. just from your weapons direct hits.

@Sektor, maybe you could change the gci file in next gta2 version to include the wreck-cars and hotdog_d1-4 cars to be indestructible to avoid crashes?

but it takes damage from crashing into the cars. sooner or later it will explode.

OH, i see you are right, i tested. it needs a lot of cars to hit until it explodes, not a problem on my map though.
