Deathmatch vs Race

[Guest]

When DM comes out will it include the files that are currently in the race mod?

ie will servers still be able to run races on the same version of the server and client as deathmatch?

I ask because while most of you want deathmatch, I do actually quite enjoy race mode too and would not like to see it die out.

We haven't finalized this yet, race is very popular so while people still want to play it we'll try to support it.

Ok, I have a question/suggestion then.

Right now it's just race. We all know what that's like, so I won't explain. Will both race and dm be allowed in the same map list?

As it is now, at the end of a race/round (depending on server type) there will be a vote for next map. Will we be able to vote for a DM or Race map and have it be basically the same as it is now?

I hope you know what I mean. I just confused myself a little with that.

That's the same question as above, like eAi said it isn't finalized, but at the moment the core is capable of loading any mod, and the servers are independantly built.

I took the first question to mean: Will I be able to run a race on my server without having to install/start up a different server version for it?

not the same as what I was thinking. I was thinking could both be run on the same server at same time. As in, we are racing. Race ends, next map is DM map?

Sorry for any confusion.

They still sound the same to me

ill translate this for him

there is a mta:race server

there will be a mta:dm server

there is a mta:race client

there will be a mta:dm client

the idea to have it be possible to have 1 mta:anything client

needs 1 mta:anything server

the question if there is going to be a mta:anything client = same as will there be 1 mta:anything server

the current answer is

there is a mta:race client & server

there will be a mta:dm client & server

- guaranteed

but having a mta:anything server and client is a good suggestion

, race is very popular so while people still want to play it we'll try to support it.

and team is looking into it

We haven't finalized this yet

(at least i hope i understood the're looking into it - and its not me hearing what i want to hear because it would be very very very great to have both race and dm in one )

[BigBadBob]

thank you Coz. That was my question, but I think I confused everyone.

1 client/server for everything. So a server could have a mixed maplist (DM/RACE or any other modes) and any type could be used for the next map, as in race this map, vote DM next map. And it would load as usual.

If it had to "reload" to switch modes, that would be fine.

Basically, will a server HAVE to be race only, or DM only.

At the moment it will have to be race OR dm.. not both. If it was both we'd need to add all the race code and dm code together and compile it into 1 client/server dll.. which we probably wont do

[Mr.hankeyeye]

well becuz we cant make it both how about a combination of it

you get a weapon in race mod where you can fire from your car with at other racers so that would be pretty cool i gues
