So with that Hidden mod for HL2, if your squad beds down in a room with 2 guys watching each doorway, doesn't it become fairly easy to detect him?

You might think that..but it isent, DL the mod and try it for yourself foo... you prolly just hear a "voosh" from the knife and then your own gargling when the blood leaves your throath.

*Magnus, thx for the help man, appreciate it! :icon25:

I love the compelte and total ignorance harboured by so many people in this thread:

This is most likely possible as a server-side mod.

You cannot do any fancy invisibility bullshit without breaking engine compatability.

All you need:
- A coder with 30 minutes spare.

give the 'hidden' player invisibility (the pickup) with infinite time left. once the hidden is killed, make the killer the invisible player. remove ammo from the map, and assign the weapons to each non-hidden player.

all the above is do-able as a serverside mod. i'd do it for you, but i'm not living at home for a week or two so i don't know when i'll have internet access, let alone access to my own computer

Reefsurfer, what you want already exists in the Ultra Freeze Tag mod. I'm surprised nobody seems to know this. It's called 'Hunt mode'. The person that's the hunter is invisible (except for his breath) when he stands still, and becomes more visible the higher his speed is. There are some other games (like Soldat) with a 'predator' powerup where the players that picks it up becomes invisible and can sneak up to others and kill them.

I suggest you try Ufreeze in Hunt mode.

Go into your q3a directory>baseq3>q3.cfg that you open with word pad, do a search for hunk ands you'll find this line: "
seta com_hunkMegs "56", change that.

You can configure which weapons you have and which items are on the map in Ufreeze. Ufreeze isn't an instagib mod (not by default)...

You'll not trick me into searching my own computer for hunks.

Well actually you can do an invisability thing.

Here ya go reefsurfer.

First some pics

Phantom(razor model)

Spirit(major model)

Now the phantom.pk3 and spirit.pk3.

http://users.adelphia.net/~magnus3204/files/phantom.pk3

http://users.adelphia.net/~magnus3204/files/spirit.pk3

You can save them straight to you baseq3 and they will be pickable as a model in the ingame list. Also just for fun I made them into bots as well.

I will have the gauntlet in a bit.

Later.

Thats not what hes after. It turns into a shite fest when you cant "see" it. The point is it must be visible invisible

Post by **reefsurfer** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 2:26 pm

sweeeeeeet!
now we have a complete hidden model and weapon(dident someone say " you wont be able to do a very good "hidden" effect" earlier in this thread?

).

Now we need a coder/scripter to add the other stuff.
Once again magnus... thx. :icon30:

Not gonna work in Quake 3.

Few reasons:

1 - Splash damage. Makes it far too easy to hurt or even detect him by spamming rockets/grenades

2 - Ammo levels are far too high. You can easily pick up lots of boxes of ammo and start blasing everywhere in Quake 3

3 - Maps are far too small and too much connected. They're designed for deathmatch. Not for a hide and seek game.

4 - Gameplay speed is far too high. It doesn't create tension. It would still be a run and gun type of game. Gameplay like Urban Terror would be a far better starting point than vanilla Quake 3.

hidden effect and completely invisible is quite a difference reef.

re-read my ideas again eraser...already been discussed and fixed.

We are not using rockets..only grenades,MG and shotty.

The levels will have no pickup..think osp CA.

There are hundred of maps out there... and we might even get someone to make 1-2 custom made maps for this gametype.

We can set speed for blue team and red team.. hidden should ofcourse be faster than blue team.
