In a completely spontaneous burst of willpower and programming, I've implemented a "challenge mode" for VSH.
You can type !halechallenge (or go through the !hale menu) and enable challenge mode. When it's your turn as a boss with challenge mode enabled, the other team will continuously respawn upon death.
The goal being for hale to get as many kills as possible before dying.
The mode is a WIP, but I think it's pretty good for release on the servers. We'll continuously improve and tweak things, so be sure to report any issues or suggest gameplay changes for it.
-
Would spawn camping be a problem? If Hale stood in the spawn, then he can keep killing them.
-
Voidy,
I've been waiting for something like this.
I forking love you.
I think I'm going to cry,
It's so beautiful.

That would be a problem, maybe make a few different spawn points? And will a ranking system be developed, to see who got the most kills in one round?

i want this for ff2 this is so cool

Currently, players are given 2.5 seconds of uber on spawn as a spawn protection feature, but adding spawn points around the maps is definitely planned in the future.

I love you.

Oh! I just came up with a slight issue with this gamemode. On map change there are typically 3 to 5 people for the first round who load in before all the others. This presents an issue. While Hale does have a reduced amount of health, it would still take quite a while to defeat him. Even longer if the team is unfortunate enough to be composed of Spies and Snipers.
(Edit:) In fact, I just played a match with those exact conditions. Everything that I predicted happened. There's a bit of tweaking that needs to be done, but it's still a great idea.

I have plans to make it so players can spawn in once they join the server during a challenge mode round so that first round issue would be solved.
-
I'll have to give this a go later. I guess this is good for the Hales that can kill everyone every time or those that want to challenge themselves. Hence the name, I guess.
Sounds good Voidy, I'll let you know what I think later.

music just for people that use the mode pls
-
oh my god i felt my heart skip
this is beautiful

just putting this out here because it matters

I've implemented late spawning (so you join a challenge mode round if you didn't load quickly enough), and the ability to change classes during a challenge mode round.
Unless there are some more pressing issues that come up, the only thing left to implement is custom spawn points so it solves the issue of any spawn camping.
-
oh and also
just noticed this so idk how late i am but if you are a ghost you can't spawn unless if you rejoin the server

It should (re)spawn you regardless if you have ghostmode enabled or not.

You weren't killed by hale, then.

Hey, you got that when I was Hale.
Yeah, if you die from fall damage, blow yourself up, or suicide, you don't come back to life during a challenge match. You have to die by the hale.
-
Voidy there is a kewl bug in challenge mode is that when u die by killing yourself u can respawn by changing classes
-
and if you join and click the same class twice you respawn
-
You should only be able to spawn if you load in late, can you explain exactly the steps required to respawn by changing classes?
-
I think capping should be disabled while challange mode is on, it's annoying when you're trying to stop the other team from capping, and they keep coming.
-
How is the cap point being enabled with many players on the other team?
-
It was at the start of the map, only 1 other person was in, and as more joined, the point stayed open.
-
say im a scout
i will click a different class then click it again it respawns you
you have to kill yourself
other way just change from the class you are to a different one

rip in piece

rip in piece
No.
-
Does this not work anymore?
-
It was a failed experiment, mainly due to server crashes.
-
aww it was fun when it lasted but on ff2 it would be hard for the hales that summon
-
This is a thing I had to miss when I stopped playing?
Welp looks like voody is not getting my milkshake money this month...
