Community blogs

Hellou! So new wiki is finally here.

Now we need from the community to move (and update outdated content) from old hideously slow wiki to new one.

Our Wiki syntax isn't fully compatible with MediaWiki syntax, but as familiarity bonus you can also use forum BBCode syntax in the new wiki. Supported tags are listed here. I added main index and shader manual as starting point.

Feature requests also welcome, but as a point of rule I want to keep the Wiki clean and bloat-free.

We are happy to present you yet another RickRollers Cup!
This time it's a duel tournament exclusively for the new players in Warsow. The cup is aimed at players who just have picked up the game and it's 1on1 gametype. This is a brilliant chance for you to start with duel without getting yourself destroyed by the veterans of this game.

Ok, here's finally little collection of pics from Assembly 2012 (photographed by milkflow). Thanks for everyone who attended - the cup was pretty long and exchausting (9 hours!) as we had only 2 computers in use, but thank you for your patience :D

Mad props to everyone who attended, we're sorry that the schedule went so tight that we had to drop the bronze-game and fallback the finals from bo5 to bo3. Nevertheless we had great time and great games, special props to Mazu and viiGo who were able to take a map out of clear favourites on their games! And special congratulations for hyrveli!

What's up folks? Warsow Quicky Cup is back, that's up!

With the new ass-kicking Warsow release I have finally got back my motivation to host duel cups for this awesome game.

hf&gl!!!

Basically, what i need is somebody how is capable to handle all the code work for the gameplay,an another mapper would be great too. In the next line i will try to describe the most effeciency how works the gamemode and what it is.


Basic description
In this gametype, two teams battles for the controlling of a « relique », team alpha attack (try to pick the relique after going throught some defence and bringing back the relique to base) and team beta defend (try to protect the relique). The game is played in two round (+-30 mins we can have winner loser and rarely draw round). Each team attack then defend.

A map is divided in three or more « checkpoint (depent on maps)», these check points are also called small objectif, for going to the « relique », for instance a simple objective would be  « destroy the protected door , or « activate the opening of a door »,... When an objectif is complete the attacking team (alpha) go to the next objectif and then to the third (or final), after that alpha team need to pick up the « relique » and bring it to base (relique give some penalties like walk speed decrease,...). When a checkpoint (objective) is reached by team alpha, she score one point. At the end of the round if no checkpoint have been reached score goes to beta team. After beta team become attacker and alpha defender.




What need to be coded. + basic informations

10vs10 players
players start with 100/100
players have the same weapons choice than bomb
respawn time is 10s
roundtime :15min
entity to activate timer : 20s
entity to explode/open,... : 60s
entity to desactivate/defuse timer : 30s
no objective carrier evertybody can activate the events.
Spawnprotection: 10s
no score limit.
The only way to score is to reach a checkpoint. If checkpoint is not checked by alpha team score goes to beta.
When alpha team reach the « relique room and pick it » their spawn is moved to the relique « room ».
« relique » bring penalties to the owner (slower but stronger).


Well that's pretty much all i can explain at the moment.(i will bring more description on what i need for mapping entity if you request it, screenshots,...) If you are interessted and motivated to help me in creating such a gametype feel free to contact me via irc @ homart or via my mail thomas.meurisse[at] gmail [dot] com

I already started drawing and trying some stuff in mapping and with 3dsmax. But i need some good coders to bring this project to life.
The gametype is simple but it needs good entity for mappers to make awesome objective and such :).

And if you have some idea on what can be a warsow relique feel free to show some sketchs/ idea,...


Thanks to read me and sorry for my shitty english.

Anyway gametype is quite similar to http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmf4v6_swtor-l-etoile-du-neant_videogames in SWTOR.
