I don't think, that i can host a server, all i could do is rent one on the internet.

If you rent a server and provide me with access to it, I could host an OpenFNG server on it for you, sure.  (Don't rent a Windows server though).

It will be 0.6 though as there's no 0.7 version of OpenFNG yet.

thanks for rewriting this awesome mod.

I'm currently working on a ctf2-based FNG map incorporating some of the ideas mentioned on the previous page. Its 'golden' shrines will only act as normal shrines until the special shrines are implemented into FNG.

-snip-Will the map be on Riot servers?

Yep, as soon as golden spikes are added to openFng.

@fstd Here's an idea, if someone is frozen and disconnects, their tee be replaced by a dummy with the same seconds left in the freeze. when it unfreezes, it dies and doesnt respawn. thoughts?

I agree with everything you said completely. @Deku if you're reading this, I think it's map making time

That's great, dude. Will the map be on Riot servers?

And playing 8x8 wont be so tight.

There is actually a beta 16on16 branch. But I agree

I agree with everything you said completely. @Deku if you're reading this, I think it's map making time

First idea - golden spikes. Now we have white spikes +3 (+5) for everybody and red/blue spikes +5 (+10) for red/blue team. I offer to make golden spikes +10 (+15) for both teams, and place them in very hard-to-reach parts of the map. The idea comes from observing very high-skilled players, who moving frozen tees on crazy path, but dont get for that any rewards, except an esthetic pleasure. With well-placed golden spikes players with such skill will be able to get serious advantage, based on their high-skill.

Also, spikes can be placed very high, for exmpl, so u will need to hammerfly with your teammate to get an extra point from sacrificing. This can be very helpful to increase teamplay and interaction skills at all.

Then I want to talk about the main principle of spikes placing, on examle of most popular fng map - openfng5_beat. Now we have red spikes near red base and blue spikes near blue base. It looks logical, but after long time of gaming an analyzing I decided, that it's completely unfair.

When red team is shooting better and playing more strong, the battlefront line moves closer to blue base. Obviously, this happens due to better skill of red team. But since there's no red spikes close to blue base, the blue team can make even more points, then red, despite of their current disadvantage.

I think, blue and red spikes must me swithed. Maybe, not completely, maybe, red spikes on red base are still needed. But whole my point is basing on simple idea - i u play better and lock enemy on their base, u must make more points, then enemy. It will stimulate agressive and offensive playing, we must give it a try.

I understand, that I literraly offer to promote basecamping, so my next idea is to give a few-second freeze-protection after respawn. After that killing basecamper depends only on your own skill. I always said, and keep saying, that there's nothing wrong with basecamping, it's just another playing style.

And the very last idea is again about openfng5_beat. I've played on a couple versions of this map, including exodusfng, version by games-in-evolution and some other. My favourite one is used on f3ar servers, but ABSOLUTELY all versions have a big fat minus. Nobody plays at the top of the map. Middle level and low level are playable, but nodoby actually plays on the top. What we need to do is to get rid of unhookable walls to the top. Now the only way up is right from base, and through the middle in some versions. If everyone can easily reach the top lvl, the will be fights. And playing 8x8 wont be so tight.

I hope anyone can finish reading that post gl&hf everyone

And if you want to add some news maps, I will be happy to share mine .
