Big Bitfighter Battle XI

Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:07 am by raptor

It's been a while... so with out further ado:

BIG BITFIGHTER BATTLE

Date: Friday, April 4th 2014, 8:00pm - Midnight | Eastern Time

Rules:

Team wins will be determined by the final scoreboard that appears at the end of each game
Any player who changes teams will be disqualified for that game, unless his or her team is changed by an administrator
Free-for-all game types will only have one winner per game

Maps:
I need serious help with the map list. I do not have much time to put it together, so please offer map suggestions liberally.

We have a new pool to draw on from pleiades, now would be a good time to suggest maps from there that you always wished we played with more people.

Oldies but goodies are just as welcome.

Can we have someone actually recording this time -- the whole time? That would be excellent.

Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:37 am by raptor

I plan on turning on the server game recorder which will track every player. Someone will have to make videos of them after the fact, focused on one of the players.

If we go for four hours, we usually do about 40 maps, with 3 as break maps, and a few extra just-in-case. Traditionally, we done about the same number of maps for each game type with some a little less (Soccer) and some a little more (CTF).

We can change some of the traditions, of course. Any suggestions for map variety differences with this BBB?

Does the video have to focus on only one player? I think it would be cool if it switched between different players' perspectives.

Dear god no

Also someone needs to explain Stanza Inter to me

Skybax to narrow down that list Zomb Apocalypse, Rooms, and Honeycomb CTF are all good of yours. Also big yes for Cave Tunnel and Crack muffins.

Yes, sort of. But with the playback files, you can record runs focused on different players, then splice the video together how you like.

It would be (theoretically) possible to create a playback mechanism that switched between different players at different frames, but that would require some thought and work.

If we get some good quality video, I could try making another trailer that shows the newer interface.

I suggest my own level, Crossing - Rabbit version!

http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/240

other than that, highway is always fun. I made an edited version which is a rabbit game.. It's called Rabid Highway. It IS better imo

Highway
http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/55
Rabid Highway! (Rabbit, a rare gametype)

Pleiades pagination is working now. You can now browse pages and pages of maps. Thanks kaen!

Please continue with the map suggestions.

Yeaaa buddy!!

(for those wondering, you can apparently access the full library by clicking on Search and not entering any terms) or through http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/all

From Yoshi's list I recommend Retro Match, Phi (holy shit, kaen, that looks beautiful), and of course Foiled.

I think Phi is terrible

I saw a level called Maze Racer: the Battlefield by FBV -86. the concept is just have 2 teams, their cores at opposite ends. it looks decent.

I'm looking at Mazeracer myself now, if I can figure out how it works, then wham!

Mon Mar 31, 2014 2:14 am by sky_lark

It might be fun to give some of FBV-86's maps a whirl. They can be pretty complex and crazy but with large numbers they might be a good time.

Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:40 am by tazinator

given that we don't ever do mazegen, I made a level which was inspired by FBV-86's use of mazegen

http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/257

we should do both mine and FBV's (mine might be overcomplicated).

also yeah. lets do some FBV maps

Tue Apr 01, 2014 9:09 am by raptor

More maps please!

You can select oldies from here, too:

Tue Apr 01, 2014 12:36 pm by thread

are we including maps from the improvement contest?

Tue Apr 01, 2014 12:48 pm by Skybax

From anything, I believe.

Tue Apr 01, 2014 1:57 pm by raptor

Anything! NEED MORE

Tue Apr 01, 2014 3:32 pm by watusimoto

I have a request from an anonymous player for Lines:

Tue Apr 01, 2014 4:55 pm by Skybax

Tue Apr 01, 2014 11:53 pm by sky_lark

Lines could be fun. From Skybax's new list, I heartily encourage Double Debris, Ducks Rock, Inca, Cretaceous Composure (with the red lined walls haha!), The Big Rooms. In case you're filtering these lists raptor and not just dumping them all

When I first saw it I was like, "Dear God this looks stupid." Then I played it. Good team work goes on. More than I've seen on any other Team Bitmatch. 'Nuff said.

stanza inter looks cool. i dont see how it actually works tho. are the neutral ships just decoration?
I'm all for playing it.

Yeah lol the neutral ships are pretty pointless.

I've found they can be helpful as cover if your team is getting owned hard enough that you get backed up to your base. Then take out the enemy players and move forward again.

Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:47 pm by raptor

I have no soccer levels amongst the submissions, and only 2 Rabbit and 2 HTF maps. Any suggestions?

Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:21 am by sky_lark

raptor, I will have some maps for ya tomorrow! Sorry for pushing it kinda late -___-

Fri Apr 04, 2014 1:37 am by watusimoto

I don't know if this is too lame or not...

http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/260

I did make the winning score 5 and the time 5:00, so at least the pain won't last too long!

Fri Apr 04, 2014 1:43 am by tazinator

3 Rabbit if we're doing the rabbit version of Highway..
1. Crossing - Rabbit version
2. Omnispace
3. RABBIT Highway?

http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/241

:?:

anyway i might not actually make it, since according to the timer countdown i got from skybax, the bbb happens during work hours

Watusimoto > I like the soccer map you provided.

Pleiades Maps · Fri Apr 04, 2014 4:24 am by Quartz

Soccer: I'll recommend my own Distort

http://bitfighter.org/pleiades/levels/view/152

Also ... dang, didn't realize BBB starts at 5 PM for me. I may be able to play some after all.

Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:00 am by Skybax

Taz, stop being so obsessed with Highway.

Pleiades Maps · Fri Apr 04, 2014 1:36 pm by Quartz

Spoiler:
Highway is a novelty

Fri Apr 04, 2014 2:47 pm by thread

I really should sit down and figure out what is wrong with omnispace's code. it would be a lot more fun if I fix it up.
