Serious Discussion on Game Types
Graslu:
--- Quote from: Spry on October 20, 2017, 11:32:11 pm ---I'm interested in this, aside from the radar hiding the characters, how much invulnerability is there on spawn?
--- End quote ---
You're fully invulnerable for a few seconds after spawn and won't show on the radar if you don't shoot or pick up a high tier gun / armor.
El Dudereno:
I agree with Spry. I'm just an end user so maybe I was wrong about why the game feels different in this version but I too get blown up immediately over and over after spawning. Maybe the invulnerability after spawning needs to be longer or perhaps the ridiculous number of players allowed on maps meant for up to 4 players needs to be tweaked.
Graslu:
By default, smaller maps will be ignored in the rotation when there's more than around 6-8 players on the sever, switching to bigger maps. This depends on the server and they could've disabled it.
Entropy-Soldier:
The way spawn invulnerability behaves depends on the gamemode. Gamemodes where it would only be frustrating like LTK have no spawn invulnerability, while gamemodes where team spawn camping is possible like CTF have 5 seconds of spawn invulnerability that will not be removed until the timer runs out.
Most DM style modes, including arsenal, use the spawn invulnerability that Graslu described earlier. One minor quirk of this system, however, is that spawning with a high level weapon will instantly break your spawn invulnerability and thus make you vulnerable the instant you spawn. This is desirable behavior, but because of this it's possible to spawn and instantly die to an explosion if the weaponset has a high level weapon in slot 1, or if the gamemode is Arsenal and you're on the lower levels.
Anyway, this is really only a huge issue if the standard map selection behavior is bypassed, but I'll work on ameliorating it for 5.1. It's not as easy of a fix as it appears on the surface but should still be doable.
El Dudereno:
Glad to hear you are working on tweaking the map selection. If people would stop playing arsenal and turbo LTK 24/7 then maybe the instant spawn kills wouldn't be such a drag. I like these game modes but not all the time. Variety is the spice of life hombres!
