ZDoomCTF

ZDoom - Capture The Flag Edition:

Ever since I started programming, I have always wanted to make a Capture The Flag version of ZDoom. Recently, I've been digging through my hard drive and found an old copy of a CTF version of ZDoom I made. Of course, with little programming experience back then, I was stuck on a few small things, but since I gained experience, I finished it off.

ZDoomCTF is ZDoom with a powerful Capture The Flag system, in which you can create custom teams, custom flags and have all the normal ZDoom features too. You can choose two team CTF, three team, four team, as many as you like!

You may be wondering if it is really worth going to all the trouble of making a CTF port with the current state of the net code. Well absolutely! If you watch the demo included, you can see a two team, four player CTF game in action. We all did have quite a bit of fun there. (Although I still can't believe that my team lost.

)

At the moment, ZDoomCTF is based of ZDoom revision 893 but I will be upgrading in future releases.

To run online here's what I suggest:

1. Set your teams up in advance.
2. Add '-ctf' to the command line.
3. Add '-file zdoom-ctf.wad' to the command line.
4. Add '+map D2CTF1' to the command line.

The 'zdoom-ctf.wad' is deliberately not automatically loaded as it serves as an example WAD for people creating their own Capture The Flag maps.

Bugs and possible features:

No bugs are known as of yet, but if anyone finds any then please either PM me or post in this thread. Thanks!

In the future, I may consider adding support for One Flag CTF, in which you take a white flag and bring it to an opponents base. Don't expect this anytime soon though.

ZDoomCTF Version 0.1 Source Code - I'll get round to uploading this when my connection doesn't keep cutting out.

Wow, sounds cool I'll give this a try

neat

,
but maybe make it boomctf - compatible, so that all the existing ctf wads can be played aswell

Code: Select all

//      5130 = "Blue flag";
//      5131 = "Red flag";
//      5132 = "Gold flag"; [for one-way CTF]
//      5133 = "Green flag";
//      5134 = "White flag";
//
//      5080 = "Blue Start"      
//      5081 = "Red Start"
//      5082 = "Temp Start" [Used for choosing team in skulltag]
//      5083 = "Green Start"
//      5084 = "White Start"

EDIT:

didn't realize that I could just make a pwad that has the correct teaminfo and decorate..

EDIT2: when testing my boom ctf definitions of flag decorate and teaminfo, I get a error when starting the map: "No (null) team starts" .. I wonder what did I do wrong

You need to set your team first. I will add a better error message for people on no team or make team selection automatic.

Couldn't this just be intergrated into zdoom rather than adding to the GIGANTIC amount of zdoom based ports already?

Post by **Nash** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:52 am

Also, no offense but I'd rather play Skulltag than download yet another ZDoom port just for CTF...

Karate Chris · Post by **Karate Chris** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:57 am

I only wanted to make a separate port for this to test the project until I submit a patch. I don't want to submit something that needs a lot of testing and could be potentially buggy. However, from the current feedback, that may be sooner rather than later.

Link seems down!

What a surprise, six years after, a temporary file host has stopped hosting a file!

Kaal979 · Post by **Kaal979** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 10:36 am

In case someone has the file please link it!
Because i want to try if it allows CTF with marine
skin bots and not ZDaemons former humans.
Legacy allows it but has no CTF (for FreeDoom).

Kaal, seriously, we have a thread specifically for reuploads, just so that these old threads don't get bumped!
