Finish up the War Rule Set..

GolfDude — Tue, 11 Feb 2003 16:24:57 -0000

can some1 work on finishing the war play mode, most
of the old timer mini golfers like war and are making
custom holes to play war.. it was almost done, but
got locked out so if some1 can unlock it, some of
the old tiemrs will have a blast and defintely go dl
mgm!

How it can happen: From what I understand it is in
the .py files, but disabled and not 100% completed. I
think war mode can be done all by the scripts so this is
a doable feature. Maybe you could spec up how War
Mode works for us that don't know and have never
played it?

War Rule Sets:
Played like pool
( you have to hit their ball into the hole first.. last
one standing wins)
in this case, custom holes will be made by the players
to play war since the holes arent as war oriented as
mgd was.. (im wokring on this)
you must make contact with the other player within 3
shots of the last hit or start of the game.
usually played in a Best of 3 format..

(can be played at the shoe hole if gophers are ableto be
programmed out for a new hole just for war

NO BONUS STROKES OR POWERUPS PERMITTED

Want to add "NO ACE" mode to Online play..

GolfDude — Tue, 11 Feb 2003 05:52:01 -0000

We are getitng sleepy , so we like to play NO ACE
RACE online..

NO ACE RACE is a game where you are not allowed to
ace a hole, but if you do, you get a 30 second penalty
added on.. you could also do a basic NO ACE mode
for regular play, where you get 3 strokes aded on for
acing it in regular mode. thats pretty much it...

NO ACE MODE OPRION FOR ONLINE:

You are not allowed to ace a hole. If you do you get a
penalty added to the score. In Race Play, which it will
be mostly used is 30 seconds added to whatever he
got, and 3 shots gets added to score if its in basic par
mode...

this is the opposite of the ACES ONLY mode offline.

5 Player Mode For Online

GolfDude — Thu, 12 Dec 2002 01:38:12 -0000

with more ppl finding us, we seem to always end up
with a 5th oddman out player and we shouldnt keep
newbies and the 5th man waiting... speed isnt much of
an issue anymore.. i think we can get 5 ppl in for
good :D

(dont forget those server stats dv!)

online checker

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Mar 2002 05:46:41 -0000

Since online is more popular, it would be nice if there
was a seperate app which would just monitor how many
people were logged in to the server and report that on
the taskbar. then... we could see someone login and
quickly join the FUN!!!

steps:
1) login to server
2) get player count
3) logout
4) wait 1 minute (or whatever)
5) do it again (goto step 1)

Allow user to set a Par Time for Custom

GolfDude — Wed, 20 Feb 2002 01:45:40 -0000

in editor under par set.. allow user to set a time
limit for the hole for race play .. this will be fun
for online games :)

Easier way to share a custom hole/course

GolfDude — Thu, 14 Feb 2002 21:01:47 -0000

can we make a way to share custom holes and courses
easier ( so you dont have to copy a huge ini file of
hole and coruse coding )

can some1 think of a way this can be done..

this was an idea we originally had planned for mgm
anyway..

Change Version Tag at end of name

GolfDude — Sun, 03 Feb 2002 01:10:00 -0000

i tihnk it would be much easier to just have the
version show up as (#)

ie) User Name v1.0.5
becomes: User Name (5)

i played around iwth the version.py file and im
pretty sure it does work 100% when edited..

MOD_VERSION_TXT = " v1.0.4"

change to:

MOD_VERSION_TXT = " (4)"

shows up as:

Name (4) on login after 1st login
Name (4) automatically appeared in lobby..

i think this will work much better than the long name
tag Name v.1.0.4

what you think DV?

Online Game Rejoin Feature

GolfDude — Tue, 29 Jan 2002 01:56:46 -0000

Allow a booted player to rejoin game if they return
if game is still in progress.. player will recieve
an "8" until he returns (which would be the hole to
be played next)

(This will most likely only be down after the engine
is broken :) )

Online Away Feature

GolfDude — Sun, 20 Jan 2002 22:51:31 -0000

Add a button called AWAY to online play that when
clicked, next to your name says AWAY (where the IN
GAME text pops up) it will also block any whispers
and game requests goign to that person, and will send
a system message to the party trying to whisper/
invite the away party that the party is away and is
not available to play/chat.. to deactive it, you
click it again..(sort of like an ignore button, but
it tells ppl you are not available, and tells players
that the person isnt there) great idea, huh?

is it possible?

GolfDude — Sun, 20 Jan 2002 02:12:02 -0000

existing MGM music which one is played on your custom
