To reduce the incentive to wait for other players to kill each other in FFA games, this extension adds a Lua script that will periodically kill off the player with the lowest score. The interval can be configured via a dropdown menu in the lobby. The period for the final two players can be set to a different (e.g. larger) interval than the others.
For use with oratools.
Clone this project to ~/projects/no-turtle-mode and create a directory ~/sandbox/maps with the following structure:
maps
+-- overlay.png: An overlay png (with transparency)
+-- source-maps: A directory containing the source map pack
+-- map1.oramap
+-- map2.oramap
Assuming you also want to include ERCC and the latest BI balance then use the following command to create the map pack at /tmp/map-pack:
ora-tool mappack \
--overlay ~/sandbox/maps/overlay.png \
--strip-tags \
--rm ragl-briefing-rules.yaml lobby-rules.yaml ERCC2-rules.yaml ercc2-rules.yaml ercc2-sequences.yaml ragl-balance.yaml ragl-briefing.yaml briefing.yaml briefing-rules.yaml bain2-rules.yaml bain2-weapons.yaml ragl-actor-rules.yaml ragl-actor-sequences.yaml tox_sign.shp .DS_Store \
--ext maps-extensions/ercc-bcc ~/projects/ora-balance-iteration/src ~/projects/no-turtle-mode \
--title '{title} [No Turtle]' \
--category NoTurtle \
--out-dir /tmp/map-pack \
~/sandbox/maps/source-maps
