Title: new game type Post by: Thoushaltdie on June 15, 2010, 10:44:30 AM hey guys we have all rockets and instagib. why not a gauntlet mode?
Title: Re: new game type Post by: Gig on June 15, 2010, 11:49:02 AM Because it could be not so funny, after the first minutes (just an impression)...
Anyway one may try NIQ3 mod (No Items Quake 3, read DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/ModCompat/NIQ3]here (http://([b)) and disable all weapons except for gauntlet (the mod's GUI allows to select which weapons use) it should work, I suppose. UPDATE: I checked, and one has to enable at least two weapons, or the game will freeze. Or I believe I read something about some command to remove items direcly from OpenArena (again to remove all weapons except gauntlet), but I didn't test it yet.

Like the mutator from UT, you select the weapon and every ammopack and weapon would be replaced with it.

Title: Re: new game type Post by: Logan on June 15, 2010, 06:35:37 PM I'd like to try this game type sometime. It sounds fun and very unique.
Title: Re: new game type Post by: Thoushaltdie on June 15, 2010, 11:44:38 PM thanks for the imput. i know it wont be as fun as rockets or insta but it would be a fun way to train with the gauntlet and kill an afternoon. i think ill play elimination with no ammo vs some bot now. and thanks for the imput :)
Title: Re: new game type Post by: WingedPanther on June 16, 2010, 04:56:02 AM The problem I had with bots was they tend to avoid me, so I just find myself chasing them at a constant distance. Granted, I need to work on my jumping for speed. I'm planning to do some LG training with the same method.
Title: Re: new game type Post by: Thoushaltdie on June 16, 2010, 06:27:34 AM it is hard to hit a bot with the gauntlet, this is the whole challege. because when you're at close quarters and you pull out the gauntlet instead of getting into a shotgun or railgun war and the other person sees you they will be running away and shooting. so i need to practice in catching up to them quick and killing them with the gauntlet. and also dropping down on ppl from behind to assassinate them :D and the bot just running around will give me some practice. then i can try it in ctf games or tdm. >:D also i need to learn how you can crouch really quick and get a hit in faster. because when i try it i end up slowing down and not hitting them at all :(
