Are you decorating the DM server for Halloween I need to know if I need to buy a costume. Curious is there. Dark Match for CTF that could be cool on few well chosen maps.
Dark Match

I always wanted to do Halloween through Guy Fawkes Day/Night for the CTF server and did long ago find a dozen or so Halloween themed CTF maps that would do for the occasion. Together with dark match, I think it would be pretty festive. The problem is that like everything else the dark match mutator has some issues.
From memory, some of the lights aren't turned off during the waiting state and remain on after the game begins ruining the all dark atmosphere. Sometimes the player's first spawn happens and they don't receive a search light in their inventory. Finally, due to some settings, "dynamic lighting" being one that I remember if not enabled some players are unable to see the search lights.
Given these issues, I just feel it's not completely ready for use. I'm not sure I will have time to work on it before Halloween this year even though I would really like to.
What costume did you have in mind?
BTW congratz to the admin for the halloween mods!
However thoses ghost going around me on my camping spots, dont really help xD
All that aside, I really like the mods - Great job!
LOL first ghost I saw I thought my video card was going up kinda like center of almost look up an turn around you will be amazed. GJ SG but next year get some pumpkins I can tell apart can't tell if I'm picking up or returning the pumpkin. You all know what they are doing in West Virginia this Halloween? PumpKin
Glad to hear you guys liked the festive additions.
It's a shame the capture the pumpkin mutator isn't done as well as the xmas one. Maybe some improvements can be done for next year.
The one with the ghosts was an old archive I found from 2003, not sure if it was intended for public release or not but I thought it was done well, especially for its time. Credit to the author medic@i4games.eu for this one.
I learned later that there were some configuration options that I was unaware of originally since I wasn't working with a fully released mutator. My apologies to the players that wear headsets for the first morning this was on the server, the spooky sounds ( doors creaking, doors slamming, etc. ) were way too loud when set at their default Later, I found the config options and was able to reduce the volume and frequency of these things which otherwise would probably get annoying after some time. Anyway, it's just for a few days each year.
I really appreciated the mod, thanx ! It was very funny playing with this server-mod !
