Important:
-The current shell version doesn't have support for KOH so this demo map uses Conquest.
-Don't worry about not being able to select a spawn point. There are no spawn points. The mode will spawn you every 15 seconds. Watch the timer (not the yellow spawn timer).

Objective:
-Have your team be the first to reach the point limit.

Other Notes:
-Captureing a hill (the CP) will give earn your team more points.
-When the displayed timer ends, any dead units will be respawned on random paths.
-Uses CTF settings for bots, capture limit, and time limit.
-This release should be stable. Feel free to include it in any maps you are making.
-The next hill is randomly picked. It could even be the hill just captured.

Development Time: 9-11 hours (one day)

Tips:
-When making a KOH map, set long capture times on your CPs.
-When making a KOH maop, you can choose which paths each team will spawn on, or you can let them spawn on the same paths.

Issues:
-Need to do something with those VOs.

Ideas, Questions, Comments, Answers?


WIP Pictures: I took a default map and added random hills. The spawn points have been moved closer together too .

No offense, but this is "only" an inverted Conquest, with the exception that units spawn randomly and not at the CPs. To be honest, if I want to play as an defender, I choose conquest or CTF. Anyway, I think anyone who loved KoH in other games might want to test it.

So you are saying the CPs capture too quickly? Perhaps they can take longer to capture, or the team has to hold them for a certain length of time after the capture?

People give me feedback please.

So why knock the mode if you aren't going to play it anyways? Seriously. Keep unconstructive comments to yourself.

Zerted, I think the mode rocks! It's just like it was in Perfect Dark!

This is Awesome Zerted! You're one of the most creative and fast-working modders I've ever seen. Keep it up.

By the way, do you think this will sneak into one of the maps in the Conversion Pack?

I havent d/led or tried it yet, but I have a question. How would you set up which one is the Hill CP?

When you are doing that ObjectiveKOH:New{} thing, one of the varaibles holds the CPs that turn into hills. Its just hills = {"cp1, "cp2", "cp3", },

CHeckout the source code. There is the ObjectiveKOH.lua and the KOHg_con.lua which is used in this demo map.

Edit: After you give it a table of CPs, the game mode will randomly pick one.

dude this is awsome i didn't think i would be taken seriously when i asked about this.

That was fun! Though, those Voices did get annoying. I might implement this into one of my maps. (if i can. )
