It's mod with gaunlet, instagib and rocket ;) (rj = rocket jump)
With high speed, that mean you go fast and you need map without too much camp spot ^^

@RMF : ps37 is already on ^^

Ho then, I like a lot 'Pul1ctf' and 'frozencolors' with rocket jump and instangib that's awesome!
                                           :D

This is good as well on 'q3whdm4' (on FFA)
                          ;D

RJ often refers to rocket jump, can't it refer to RAIL-Jump in that case ? Seems no but I wondered.

Hey thanks man :)
For someone mad your proposition seem accurate ^^ lol

Will give a try to these maps i dunno them yet :)

and yes rj = rocket jump.

there is no rail jump at all (i don't like it ^^),
it's same mod as in old Evil|insta+rj (the one of SKC Sabastian :D)

For some info about that Insta-RJ mod, take a look DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/ModCompat/Unlagged_Rocket_Rail]here (http://([b), there is its description on the Wiki.
Another thing: the original creator of the Unlagged Rocket-Rail mod (Sabastian) wrote on this forum in the last days, you can take a look to this post (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3683.0).

The only mod that I remember now that includes "railjump", instead, is DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/ModCompat/CorkScrew]CorkScrew (http://([b).

About a nice map for that Insta-RJ mod... maybe mlca1 (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=2904.0)... since it is designed for Elimination/Clan Arena mode, it should be nice cause of many rocket jumps...

If u want a complete slaughter, use q3hockey, is a little too small, jeje.  :D

for map suggestions, I like maps with several floors to take advantage of the rj, like pul1ctf. I would probably stay away from space maps, because it makes work for campers so much easier :)
MLCTFBETA1 is a good map too, if there are no campers you can use the jump pads + rj to make fast caps, and if there are campers it's easy to sneak behind campers because of the lower levels ;)

I'm not sure if you want to stick with stock ctf maps, but I think MAPEL4B would be good, Q3WCP9 is also nice.



RJ often refers to rocket jump, can't it refer to RAIL-Jump in that case ? Seems no but I wondered.
yes, it can refer to rail jump! :D

One of my favorite mods, rctf (also known as R:UI or reactance: insta-unlagged) has rail jumps in it.
here is a video of a very old OA server that used to run it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_jAVykfbog)

currently the only server I know that runs it is [OANAGE], but to get it you have to:
Code:
/callvote custom rctf

It's a lot of fun, I personally like it better than the rocket+rj; it's more speed :D

haha, that's the perfect map for blood, guts, and gore!

Actually OANAGE is running a Mod based on OAX 085 SDK as specified in its README :

Quote

OANAGE By BillGates(AT)team-oan.com

v2010-04-02

Based on OpenArena 0.85 SDK.

Goal: To enhance OpenArena. If left to all defaults the MOD will be 100% normal OpenArena gameplay with the exception of oanage branding in the lower right of the viewport (which can be disabled).

Current features

------------------

Railjump

g_railJump - enable/disable
g_railJumpRadius - maximum distance from solid
g_railJumpHitCycleTime - cycle time of weapon reload for successful jump
g_railJumpMissCycleTime - cycle time of weapon reload for non-jump
g_railJumpKnockback - amount of knockback


Rockets

g_rocketSpeed


Lightning Gun

g_lightningGunRange - length of bolt
g_lightningGunMaxDamage - damage at closest range
g_lightningGunMinDamage - damage at most distant range


Player Spawning

g_respawnTime - Minimum time to respawn


Misc

g_allowBlackNames - allow ^8 to be decoded to black
g_gibGore - Server enforced extra gib gore. Client can still disable the gibs.
g_showOanageLogo - Blood splatter logo

but there's no mention to where the source code is located.

The mod on OANAGE is not stricktly rctf, I beleive bill just added some cvars (like the ones you posted). Reguardless, it has been tested a fair amount so that it feels the same as the classic rctf/r:iu.

regardless, if you /callvote custom rctf, it loads up all the proper server settings for rctf, as well as resets the rotation for rctf maps, so I am not sure why you are disagreeing with me here...

Can you allow custom models players?
                      ???

I am not disagreeing with you , I've played that mod on OANAGE and I found it as funny as you wrote : you've probably missed the last line of my previous post .
What I meant is that the mod cannot be distribuited as binary only because it is based on OA085 SDK . So Bill should provide the sources too or post them somewhere because of GPL2.

Uh? Isn't the pure check (that should always be active to maintain compatibility through OA patches) that does not allow for custom models?

How come your server doesnt show up in the Master Server List? Ive been looking :-O, Or am I blind?

Actually OANAGE is running a Mod based on OAX 085 SDK as specified in its README :
"actually" implies you are correcting me.

I can ask bill if he is willing to share the source code, if you want it feel free talk to me via pm so we aren't going off on a tangent from the thread :)

which server are you looking for?

Hi all again.

I have not played this Open arena but a few minutes, so i do not know any map names.
I did however put one of the maps i made in my baseoa and it played fine. It is missing one texture
and that is the default Q3 shader for a transporter. Check it out at file planet Hells-attic is the name of it
don't have a link. I also played with the Pak0.pk3 and put my railgun back in it hehe. Is there a way to make your weapon smaller?
I used to have a 8 map rotation on my server switching gametypes too. GL finding the right combo. But your wrong on the space maps
i love them hit them once with a glancing blow woth rocket switch to rail and blow them up. MID AIR ROCKET SHOTYS RULE :-)

Yes , it was my intention ... because it's not the original Quake3 mod , nor another mod based on Quake3 SDK , but specifically a mod based on OA085 SDK

I can ask bill if he is willing to share the source code ...

Since OA 085 SDK is distribuited under GPL2 licence terms , every work based on it MUST be distribuited under the same licence or superior so the source code distribution is not optional or discretional but it's mandatory.

Post by: Cacatoes on October 10, 2010, 07:09:09 AM
...mandatory as long as the modified software is distributed, which is the case here. I was just wondering if there aren't legal issues because if the bit of code which was added isn't GPL compatible, then it seems the whole work couldn't be GPLed (nor distributed ?). When you bring code into a GPL project, it needs to take a compatible license or am I too stone ? :D

If you speak about mine : here (http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena&server=188.40.94.69:27965&showplayers=1) it is ;)
(mmm yeah maybe blind ^^)


Title: Re: Best map for insta+rj?
Post by: Gig on October 19, 2010, 09:05:47 AM
If someone is interested, I wrote a simple config to have something similar to the Insta-RJ mod, without using a mod.
(DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Configuration_examples/Rocket_and_Rail

Obviously, it is simply a configuration, it doesn't contain brightskins...

Bye!
