Minigames

[S_swimmer]

I thought that we could add some sort of a new "type" of map to the server, which is minigames. A normal minigame would have a build time of 2:00 and a survive time of 2:00-4:00. It wouldn't be a place with all these nooks and crannies (unless you really want it to). Most would be a wide open area. Minigames could be things such as:

• Laser tag
• Fort defense
• Archery battle
• Race
• Etc

Some already-made maps that can be good examples of minigames (and can possibly be turned into them) are BuildBox and PoolHall.

This is already possible to make one, and I know that. What I am really suggesting is that these maps could have different and more open options as to the properties and effects of the map, depending on what it is. Also, what I am suggesting is that every time AoD gives you the choice between two maps, it gives you a minigame option, like this:

Use /vote <#> to vote!
1. CloseQuarters by Guinessis
2. Avenguard Keep by Kuromono13
3. -Minigame- SuddenDeath by S_swimmer

I understand how most of you probably think this is not needed, and I know that Baker and LISTINGS might want to reject it if it is too much unneeded work, so I am open to all judgement, no matter how harsh :)

It sounds nice, but seems complicated and unneeded.

I like the idea of it, archery battle and race sounds interesting. Good suggestion. :)

I do like the idea a lot, but maybe not have it as an option every round so that it there isn't a risk of it just being minigames for 5 games in a row. I suggest making it quite rare for the option to be there. Maybe every 5/10 games? Also, think this might be a bit too complicated, but we'll see.

It could be picked by selecting a minigame at a similar way the maps are chosen, and activated the same way as the juggernaut is (I believe that is do-able and shouldn't be /too/ complicated)

Not a chance. You'd basically need to rewrite AoD, the best you can do is get creative with the maps & their kits, sorry.

Done.

Understood. And, I guess you could still make minigame-type maps without needing to have it officially classified as a minigame

Thanks list. But, just wondering, would I be able to name the map something like -Minigame- [name map here], or would it be too long?

Try it! If it breaks Baker will fix it!!

RE Kits - You should shortly be able to include enchanted/magic items and named magic items in Kits with the next update.
