Dodo Duel -rules and events-

[l2ebel]

Dodo Duel (DD) is a game in which ppl stand on the hill behind salvatores house and try to shoot the dodo(s) and the dodo(s) try to dodokill the ppl on the hill (fly into them)

heres an awesome video by erorr404 showing what dodo duel is about:

the general rules:

-the green gunner position has been declared cause ppl tend to stand near obstacles such as the bush, wooden benches or the cliff, so if you want to shoot the dodo make sure you stay in the green area

-do not place any cars in the red and green marked area, if anyone should drive a car on the hill then shoot the car or jack him and remove it

-if you come with a car to the hill than park it in the yellow area, but plz destroy your cars regularly (the more unsynched cars blowing up at the same time = the more chance for a game crash)

-if a pilot should have an unexpected landing on the hill (gunner stoping a dodo, yes, it happens) than the pilot MUST use the same dodo to take off again.

as soon as the dodo landed on the hill the gunners MUST NOT shoot it, if someone does he should be killed by the other gunners

the cardinal rule is that nobody shoots anyone on the hill with some exeptions like:

-someone starts shooting other ppl on the hill (mostly ppl in the server that have nothing better to do, those ppl should be killed right away, best is you dont even aim at anyone so that no accidents happen, in mta you never know where the the bullets hit)

just try to act as a team and dont kill everyone that accidently hits you with a bullet while the dodo swoops by, this happens sometimes

-someone drives a car on the hill (jack him/blow the car up and kill him)

-someone shoots a landed dodo

_____________________________________________________________

how many gunners and how many pilots are playing at the same time is undefined, this will be mostly set in the server

all weapons are allowed, you might also do turismo to get cash for an ak or flamer

Sooo, when are we gonna do something like this again...

[SM xenex]

/me wonders how he missed this thread

Anyways sounds like fun, any chance of a repeat?

[Posty]

Heh, I didn't even realize you made a topic about this rebel. This mode really is fun, isn't it? There had better be another game of this, because it's so freaking fun

[l2ebel]

im always up for a dd so if you wanna plan an event again just post in here than we can organize a good time/date and a server with admin

[Ransom]

A 3 dodo vs 3 people competition sounds extremely fun right now, something among the lines of blackdragon, mrbump, rebel in dodos against such and such (not really sure whos hot on GTA3)

[Black Dragon]

youve never played it havnt you ransom? three people dodging even a single dodo is harder then you think, let alone 3. we usually take turns, so there are more players on the ground. makes it more challenging for both sides.

[Slothman]

yeah, the more people on the ground, the harder it is to shoot at the plane (avoid shooting others, remember the auto vertical aim) and you bump in to eachother making it harder to dodge. 2 planes is fun if the 2 pilots time it right so the 2 dont swoop in too close to eachother, but 3 would be hard and problems wouild arise.

[l2ebel]

hey anyone up for a dd session sometime soon? in some days? ill check for a server...if possible with a working !money command....why was it removed anyways?

[Black Dragon]

hey anyone up for a dd session sometime soon? in some days? ill check for a server...if possible with a working !money command....why was it removed anyways?

i think it was removed because the admins abused it too much

a dodo duel would be great, now that i've seen how fun it is.

hmm the !scores command has also been removed with the newer GRS versions, admins abusing that too?

[Mike]

i suppose they were... i've never really seen it being abused.

Anyway it can be re-added quite simply by just making a new script with those extra commands you want and using the super duper personal scripts loader in the new version of the grs

/me waits for another dodo duel

[MAD_BOY]

heh, count me in again, i love dd

anyway, making a !money command isn';t that hard...

[l2ebel]

well than anyone do it plz

im gonna have to talk to jay again or maybe nutz..

[Slothman]

oli does the partyserver script, does he not?

did the !money command change, or get broken and never repaired?

[Mike]

alias mta.command {
 if ($3 == !money) mta.resetmoney $1
}

there you go rebel

[l2ebel]

IP: 217,170,21,64

Port: 2003

[Mike]

nice pics, i'll be there of course - hopefully testing out a dodo duel script

[MAD_BOY]

nice stuff, hope i can be there friday

[Mike]

Come on, we need more people. Post now

(also, i'm pretty sure my dodo duel script is ready to test )

[Scorp]

a lot of people showed up again, great fun!

Mike's script will need some more work though.

The scoring system kinda worked in the end, but I'm sure it can be a bit improved
