Tank Golf? (impossible)

[Taylor]

this would be almost all TGE.
first, we'd have the golf ball, which would a be a TGE object. when it's shot, it moves.
second we'd have lots of TGE maps with terrain for the ball and holes 1-as far as the modder wants to go.
third we'd have a scoring system... maybe there could be golf alpha and beta. alpha gives you as many points for each hole as the hold # and 1/2 that number for 4,5 & 6 hits, half that for 7-9 etc. for challenge increase maps. beta would just be 10 point for each hole in one and one less for each shot more it takes for maps with little difficulty change.
this gametype wouldn't be so hard with just TGE, but to get it into TT is a hole different problem...
we'd need to get the holes and the ball to interact with the tanks, then have the score respond to the hole.
i'm sure it's possible...
unfortunately i don't have TGE, so someone else would have to do it, but i think it'll be really cool.

some cool things that could be added if they're possible:
an in-mod scoreboard that shows scores
a little commentary board
collapsing objects
ball color changers
"1 2 3 go" before hitting the ball
hole locators

terrain features that should be included in maps:
sand, more traction
water, more traction and wave physics (if possible)
ice, less traction
wind, increases speed in any direction
cannon (with funnel to get inside) that shoots the ball really far

power-ups (items marked with * might not be possible)
teleporters
ball wings
ball trajectory line*
speedy ball
slow-mo ball
bouncy ball
small goal magnet
go-through ball

other features that can be included in maps
moving platforms
boats
anything else


multiplayer (anything in green is meant for multiplayer)
in multiplayer mode you can chase eachother around the map for 1 minute in-between 2 rounds (in which everybody gets to shoot). in this interval you try to get them into a bad shooting position. also different peoples balls can hit each-other, but they aim for the same goal.

this'll be really fun guys...

if you want to make it, please post here then start using TGE!
when you're done post a map pre-load and a script pre-load and any other pre-loads that are needed. if anybody else is doing it, please coordinate with them about ball look and such. also please post pre-loads for the shapes that are in the golf maps so that other people can make their own. there are 3 very similar types: alpha multiplayer and beta. beta and alpha are explained above, and so is multiplayer (alpha and beta just don't have the 1 min chase break).

well, don't bother doing this, dazzle says it's impossible, but i'll just leave it here anyway.

post if there's anything i forgot...

i didn't have time to proof-read this, so there might be some typos.

Most of what you have posted above is not possible in TT. Perhaps you should learn the ways of TGE and make a few normal maps instead of relying on other people to do the work for all these games you keep posting about. Making a terrain in TGE and adding objects with modwiz is easy really so just try yourself.

On another note making a gametype with dedicated maps, objects and scripting is not always easy, it takes time, dedication, a huge amount of effort and many hours of testing. Nothing should ever be released to this community unless it is 100%. For example Rollerball took 9 months, King Of The Hill took 2 months and Gladiator took 6 weeks and currently CTF recreation has taken over 2 months and is not finished yet. So before you ask people to spend their time on your ideas I would suggest that you actually try TGE and a small amount of basic scripting so that at least you can understand what is involved with developing a gametype.

Lastly CB had the idea a long time ago for TT Golf, he even has the maps but the scripting element has never been completed.

...wow. well that changes everything... but doesn't TGE cost... like... $300?
well, i guess i'm not gonna post my other idea for a gametype...

[Dazzle]

Well little dude, I know you are new here but IF YOU WERE TO OPEN YOUR EYES and look at the sticky posts at the top of the modding forum you will see how to install TGE on PC's and MAC's for nothing!!!!! $0 £0 You will also see a thread called The Modding Resource which contains EVERYTHING you need to make maps and mods.

How do you think everyone else learnt? We read the threads and applied what we read easy really.

[Taylor]

well how was i supposed to know it could be LEGAL to get it for free? and anyway, modwiz doesn't work on my computer, it freezes.

also, why do people always "say i have 10 PC's"... it's "i have 10 PCs" for the last time!!!

[sirlouis]

oh its sounds good tt golf its regrettable its not possible but there are maps and the not finished scripts why you not finsch the scripts

[Metal]

Ok the post above made me cry...
It is imposible I think, because to make an object, you need 3D Max, and for Tge maps you need the TGE DEmo taylor ... You should see the "TGE Fullversion vs TGE DEMO" in the last pages...

Hmmmm... I Guess My Feeling is That It's Not Impossible... I really think what you could do would you would have the scrum flag changed to look like a golf Ball... I think it can be done... you'd have a drop site where the players and golf ball would spawn! in TGE someone could make a hole in the ground to resemble the hole you could make sand traps and such! There would be a timer and when that timer would run out you would spawn and where the golf ball stops is your first stroke. Then you'd start over... You might be wondering, won't everyone get the same stroke? No there will be some hills so it takes some strategy to get Birdies and Pars! I think you might have to cut out a few things but this could be fun to play! Good Luck!
