Blackout Arena

Hey everyone!

I'm making a new map where you can blow the lighting out and come into darkness. It's a (nearly) small arena, four blocks where you can engage into fights.

There is four powersources, one for each block, wherein they supply the energy [electrofingers] for each block. When destroyed, all lights of respective block goes out and it will be restored in ~ 1 min. You can use weapons such as molotovs and use explosions to briefly light up the battlefield.

This map, of course, require that you're playing GTA2 in dusk mode. I'm planning giving to players all weapons (except electrogun) at the start and after respawning.

The main features are showed in this video:



The map will be finished very soon, as I'm just decorating the outside walls. Btw, this city is kind of a quarantine, where no one can enter or escape.

All sugestions are welcome.

EDIT: All finished. I've made three game modes: normal; without arrows; tag mode (p1 receives no weapons). The script detects if you aren't running in dusk mode.

I will do another variants of this map later, with some sugestions I've received.

Im gonna try the map anyway.
I never played MP but I like playing alone and test different maps.

I tried forcing dusk with GTA2 script memory writing but unfortunately it was glitchy to change it while GTA2 is running, at least with only changing one address. I could detect noon and force exit until noon is selected.

Unfortunately no, I don't have friends close to me that plays GTA2. I still making maps because I love doing it. For me It's the only form of art that I feel confidence enough to hone my skills at creating things from scratch and "materialize" my creativity.

I saw your topic about GTA2 addresses, and now my script finish the game if the client isn't playing in dusk mode. Btw I loved the way the command CHANGE_GANG_CHAR_RESPECT is exploited to read/write in memory addresses.
