Ideas for a new gamemode

[robhol]

I'm starting to miss MTA scripting. I've been a little out of touch with MTA in whole for a while now, which goes for both scripting and playing. The reasons are rather simple; I don't have anything to script, and I don't have anything to play. There simply aren't any active gamemodes or servers left that I really enjoy playing, and most halfway decent deathmatch servers have now gone in order to make room for another dozen of unmodified default servers/modes, race and half-finished RP/G servers.

I was hoping to turn this around, since I miss all the fun I had in MTA - both playing, scripting and administrating (although the latter was a pain in the ass, too.. ). Unfortunately I'm rather out of ideas for decent modes, so I'm appealing to the community for a bit of inspiration.

I'm mostly interested in getting SOME DM back in MTA without it being a default mode, a 10 minute coding job or a Simbad clone, and I mostly prefer free over "pitched" or "forced" DM (so arena-/heavily team-based modes are mostly out unless there's a really good catch to them) and apart from that, it'd be nice if there was "room" for other ideas.

Thanks in advance for helpful replies...

Watch some action movies, they can help you to get good idea

I doubt there are any action movies that'd inspire the kind of idea I'm looking for.

I can help you making a great gamemode with other child modes inside, I mean, Team Death Match and Search & Destroy, like a mmofps based on gta engine.

Examples:

Or you can continue my old project, "CrazyTaxi", it's a great simulator which is using peds as fares and sqlLite as DB.(i closed it due to high numbers of bugs), it a also has vehicle-system, with handbrake etc etc...

Hi, Im pretty much a noob compared to you guys,played mta maybe 6 months to a year and ive noticed im in a rut playing the same old servers and its losing its appeal slowly, funnily enough i decided just 2 weeks ago i wanted learn to make an mta gamemode. I got lots of ideas and have started on the tutoriai and im stuck on the createvehicle function haha i think the mapbuilding is more suited to me than programming. Anyway...

my idea was: a play server with a number of DM arenas around the standard map which 2 people could enter and basically have a deathmatch separated from others on the server. arenas could be entered thru a series of rooms allowing the players to select weapons, place bets on the fight, best of 1,3,5 fights, or any other options for the arena battle.

Ideally the battles are held inside a transparent box to allow oustside players to observe if they want. Observers could possibly have triggers for activating features in the arena, (gravity, explosions, traps etc, maybe judging fights, placing bets on who will win)

Also the arena's could be challenges for car races or stunts, drifting competitions anything....

its probably not a new idea but im keen to make this or help anyone wanting to make a gamemode (I would happily make arenas all day ) so i can get some experience in scripting. i got lots more ideas too but it takes me a while to type em out

or you can make a game mode called : Army

and you can Make Cops and Cars, Airoplanes, and Mines and Make it in the Desert

so It will be Awesome Game Mode

and Make Many Countrys ...

Like

Germany Vs USA.

Israil Vs Egypt

Russia Vs Germany

and I Saw in ' MINI-MISSIONS ' a Cool Script, There a PC Characters, You can make About 20 of Them with Every Team ...

so There will be Mire Players and it will be a Good war

and Try to add Nice Weapons Textures ... and Cars, Like the War Patroit

and Barraks and all This cars, and Make a Shop Panel, Which we Can buy any Thing, Weapons, Cars, Hunter\Hydra

Like MINI MISSIONS

P.S = This is so Hard to Script ...
