Hopefully, though, most people waiting in the Queue area don’t want to mess things up and will be waiting their turn politely… as politely as axe-wielding vikings can wait, that is. Specific ways of doing this will be discussed shortly. The “invisible walls” commonly employed by mappers to keep players out of inaccessible areas are the order of the day. This means that nobody in the Queue area should be able to A) jump down into the arena, B) throw weapons in the arena, C) do anything that might cause unwanted interference to the fighters.
#Where to put open arena map pack free#
Which brings us to the first rule of Arena map design.Īrena combatants should be totally free of unwanted spectator interference – in traditional Deathmatch, unless there is a sort of “gentleman’s agreement” or house rules, two players wishing to duel are at the mercy of anyone else on the server.and as we all know, all it takes is one rampaging lamer to break up such endeavors by throwing weapons, using rune powers, or just generally getting in the way and trying to kill everyone else.ĭesign your Arenas so that the Queue / Spawn area is separated from the actual fighting area. It’s of key importance that the only place an Arena player can hurt others and be hurt is the Arena itself. If not, they respawn back in the first Neutral area, where they can grab a new weapon loadout, proceed to the Queue area and try again.
If they are victorious, they remain in the Arena to fight the next match, their health and weapons replenished. When their turn finally comes up, they are teleported into the arena and begin fighting. Again, no player can deal damage to any other player in this area. They then proceed to a Queue area, where they can watch the current match in progress and await their turn to fight. No player can deal damage to any other player in this area. General Rules – In Arena, players first spawn into a Neutral area where they choose their weapons. Mappers who wish to make Arena maps should consider a few new things when designing them. The key aim of Arena is to give combatants a completely level playing field in which skill is the deciding factor of battles. The new Arena gametype offers players a chance to compete in 1on1 or team fighting in specially made Arena environments. Originally posted on by Jean Paul LeBreton
