How to Successfully Resurrect-CTF
 
Explanation
Spoiler
So back in the day when Capture the Flag was still around, I was one of the few people who actually played it regularly. What I did was get my guild together, and we'd challenge other guilds for sport to go against us. It was incredibly fun. Since it has been removed I have become extremely bored with Classic, and have left the server for other servers, thus ending my days of iClassic. But maybe, if CTF returned, my love for Classic would be resurrected.

I know you said you have more important things going on so you are unable to work on this. But a really simple way you could do this could be to make the building like Guild Spar, so that kills won't count.

What I suggest you do is put up a sign inside it with a leaderboard of most wins, and make it like guild spar, certain amount of rooms, viewing rooms etc. Maybe you could even make a contest here for levels and make new rooms for it, just some suggestions

I suggest this for Ol'West too because that would be incredibly fun! https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...hz9jyVQ2FeZzU4

But I also do like using the swords for it too.

I give props to the developers of OL'West. Least they don't have setbacks like in Classic. Besides CTF, why not add Call of Duty inspired game modes like (Domination, One Flag CTF, etc.).

Distorted 04-02-2015 06:10 PM
At least Ol'West adds content lol.

honestly, i've never seen anyone play CTF when it was open, but when it was closed apparently all these people want it back. It's like getting an option to do something but you don't do it but you're glad that the fact that you can use it.

If you are going to make a thread explaining a solution to a problem, perhaps you should know the actual problem first.


Boosting was only a slight problem. The big problem was the fact that people were spawning with 0.5 health everytime they died. Dusty has already explained that it has something to do with the client script which would be very time consuming to fix, and CTF just wasn't, isn't, and won't be a priority for the classic staff.

How do you really know? Do you have any development experience, scripting experience? It's just a bit insulting when people who have no development experience make assumptions about what is "so easy" and what isn't.

No it wouldn't.
Development Experience in general: Kinda
On graal : no

Im just saying that using what I know it could be Just recopying what allows pks in houses not to count on stats to be put in ctf

deadowl 04-04-2015 01:02 AM
CTF already exists in the form of guild towers. However, there aren't enough guild towers for a more casual form of CTF, which may (or may not) be an issue.

I'm pretty sure boosting was the main reason it closed. People spawning at .5 was what made boosting so easy.

You could spam the entrance of the opposite team and get a lot of kills or spam your own teams spawn cave with bombs and get a lot of kills.


The reason it wasn't fix was NOT because it was hard, but because it would be time consuming to redo the whole system. If I find dusty's quotes where he said that I'll post them.

Although Ol'West is a new server and thīs has alot
of new things to add aswell as the fact that they use alot of stuff from the other servers, I do wonder why they are getting so many more updates than Classic while Classic has way more players. I mean, look at the news feed, for every Classic update Ol'West has 5.

Admiral 04-05-2015 10:35 PM
Little point in comparing, Ol'West has their staff and iClassic has ours. Things are done differently on each like with the other servers, but it's all under the same company so honestly, just go play Ol'West lol

Not taking anything away from any server, Ol'West are lucky to have a team that are willing to put in a lot of time and effort into their server, rather that than nothing.

Distorted 04-05-2015 10:45 PM
Classic does have to do a lot of babysitting, maybe that's why their hands are full.

Many possible answers to that. But I think the universal answer is that it comes down to the individuals server's leadership and the direction they want to take their server.

Well how about that carnival on the corner of graal? Is it really just going to be a place to buy balloons?

Inside the tent is where they store the balloons that haven't yet been blown up, and is where they blow them up.
