Best way of making a normal DM.

[ramrod]

Hey, so ive been making lots of maps, ive all done them with CTF TDMA and now i want CDM, or normal DM. But the normal deathmatch in mtasa is still teams...... so what is the best way to make it no teams? should i make it tdma but just make like 50 teams... or something? thnx

mmmmm.

create you own dm gamemode with the skin selector posted in community.multitheftauto.com

is very easy

all you need is the spawnmanager, a scoreboard, maybe a skin selector and you're good to go

ok well i made amp and meta to use thouse resources. but how do i set up teams...in teh .map, or the spawns....theres not even a normal DM mode resource made... X_X

[norby89]

wait, haven't you said you don't want teams?

[ramrod]

sorry, what i meant was, how do i do the .map so ti will work, like, doesnt it need or so i can put in all the spawns and crap in there? like what do i do? in the .map, i dont have an example to go on. lol

[norby89]

well all you need is a couple of spawnpoints like x="450" y="365" z="15" (not sure if the syntax is correct, you should check a .map in a resource that uses spawnmanager)

after that simply load the resource using /start

[ramrod]

hmm ok, so when i start the map, what mode should i run it under? cdm? tdma? because there is no real DM mode created yet. ;s

[paragon]

what exactly do you mean by real/normal deathmatch?

I think he means DM where you are free and can kill anyone

I understand that, thats is the basic concept of a deathmatch however what I was looking for is his specific perspective on a "normal/real" deathmatch mode for MTA and with what combinding features would make it 'normal'.

I think 'normal' DM would be putting vehicles and spawnpoints in all places on the map and giving players some weapons. This wouldn't be hard to make, also, gamemode like this wouldn't be too boring to play.

[ramrod]

yeah that was it,

i just want a dm where i can place spawns randomly, weapons are set for everyone, place cars and pickups, and each kill goes to that individual, etc.

as I said, you can start the map simply by using the '/start resource_name_goes_here' command, and place the resource your map is located in there, this is the fastest and easiest way

of course you can also make a DM gamemode if you want (but for that read wiki )

[ramrod]

lol i would do it that way, but im wanting to release my modes to the public, 90% of them wont know howto start this map, so ill wait till theres a gamemode made. im surprised one hasnt been done considering DM is the most used mode in every single MP game..

[norby89]

yea I'm surprised too, it's probably the easiest gamemode to make

[ramrod]

lol yeah, easy but still too hard for me . im just good with the creative side of things and the artistic creation of maps.... you'll understand once u see them

[norby89]

yea lol I've seen some of your maps
