Paintball

Mod ID: 2957787926




This mod is in early development, with a long roadmap ahead. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to ask on discord[discord.gg]!




This mod allows players and server admins to build Paintball arenas for fun fast-paced combat, even on PvE servers.

The mechanics are inspired by old FPS games like DOOM, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Marathon, and Golden Eye.



Enjoy!

• Build an Arena (From structures, or play outdoors)
  
• Admin-Spawn and Place a Game Terminal
  
• Place Loot Spawners
  
• Place Respawn Points
  
• Place Teleporters (If needed)

Then you're good to go! Just start a match, and shoot your friends. =)

• Game Terminal
  
  • This structure creates a giant force-field around your arena area (see screenshots). This shield keeps out roaming dinos, and only allows players inside if a game is not already in progress. To enter the arena, just walk in at ground level -- it will teleport you inside when you touch the shield.
    
  • When entering the arena, you will be automatically assigned a colored team (Red/Blue/Green/Yellow/Purple), and your character's slot bar will be populated with the starter paintball items (and the locked items that must be found/unlocked during the match).
    
  • Players can change their own team by holding Shift + F. Admins can change another player's team manually by selecting that players multiuse wheel.
    
  • All items are available inside the Game Terminal's inventory.
    
  • Once your arena is built, admins can start/stop games from the Game Terminal's inventory or multiuse wheel.
    
  • Admins can use the multiuse wheel to set the Game Duration and the Respawn Time for players, or change settings to allow players to manage the arena themselves.
    
  • The Game Terminal can be named, and then admins can remotely start/stop games via RCON commands. For example, a Game Terminal could be called "Arena1", and the admins could start the terminal by executing "cheat ScriptCommand Paintball Start:Arena1" or "cheat ScriptCommand Paintball Stop:Arena1". If multiple Game Terminals share the same name, they will all be started/stopped with the same command. NOTE: Game Terminal names cannot contain spaces -- numbers and characters only.
• Respawn Points
  
  • These respawn points are color-coded to indicate which team they're for.
    
  • The team color can be changed in the structure's multiuse wheel.
    
  • When respawning, players will be teleported to a random respawn point that matches their team's color.
    
  • Be sure to place plenty around the map, so that spawn camping isn't possible.
• Loot Spawners
  
  • This structure will spawn random loot on a timer.
    
  • Add loot to the structure's inventory to make it a spawn option. When it's time to spawn an item, the structure will select a random item from it's inventory, and spawn a copy of that. So if you want it to spawn ammo twice as often as a gun, add 2 stacks of the ammo, and 1 gun.
    
  • The loot respawn time can be set via the multiuse wheel by admins.
• Teleport Pads
  
  • These pads instantly teleport you when you step on them.
    
  • To setup the teleport pads, assign a name to each teleporter via the multiuse wheel. Then, to set a teleporter's destination, use the multiuse wheel to scan for teleporter pads, and then assign whichever pad you want.
    
  • If two or more teleport pads share the same name, then a random pad will be selected as the destination. This allows you the flexibility to establish multiple destinations for things like "Lower Level" or "Upper Level", without forcing players onto a specific pad.

• Paintbrush
  
  • This is your starter melee weapon. It does massive damage, but only if you can get in close enough to melee somebody.
• Slingshot
  
  • This is your starter ranged weapon. It has moderate damage, but it's slow. However, it does not require ammo, so you're never completely without a ranged weapon.
• Rifle
  
  • Moderate damage, with a fast fire rate. This will be your bread-and-butter weapon if you can find it!
• Sniper
  
  • High damage, but with a slow reload. This longneck has improved stability, and a permanent sniper scope.
• Double-Barreled Shotgun
  
  • Fires 12 paintballs at a time, in a big spread.

The paintball buff does various things that help the setup the player to play paintball:

• Equips a cloth set of paintball armor, that will be recolored to match whatever team you choose.
  
• Allows the player to hold "Shift + F" to select a new team.
  
• Prevents all damage, including fall damage (feel free to jump around the arena!)
  
• Provides food/water/stamina/insulation/oxygen to disable to survival mechanics while playing paintball.
  
• Increases the player's run speed, and reduces the camera bob when running.
  
• Prevents additional buffs from being added (just so that players don't attempt to cheat by using consumables). You'll receive an annoying error message if a buff is blocked. =)
  
• Normalizes run-speed so that low-level players are not at a disadvantage. (INI configurable)
