Capture the Flag and King of the Hill

How does Capture the Flag and King of the Hill work in Zero-K?

- Capture The Flag:
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/LuaRules/Gadgets/capture_the_flag.lua
From line 15 on there is description about gameplay.

But note the "enabled = false", so it seems currently not playable.


- King of the hill:
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/LuaRules/Gadgets/KotH.lua
Beside the usual startboxes for the teams, you need to add an extra box.
The extra box defines the hill-area that you have to control by being the only player with units inside. After controlling the hill-area for a set time, you win.
To enable & config this gamemode, you must set some modoptions. The excact !commands for that I do not know, if in doubt send !help to the autohost or look in:
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/ModOptions.lua
Seems you want zkmode="kingofthehill" to enable, from line 80 on are the options.

(or maybe zKL has better modoptions GUI, not sure?)

But also note comment in gadget which says:
"Set up an empty box on Spring Lobby (other clients might crash)"
So seems not like it is officially supported...

Okay guys, I can verify, king of the hill does work

*push for some attention*

Go away, vile necromancer...

a minimum of punctuation and commas please, this would make your posts more readable.

quote: Failer: snoke the point is.... You made a post that meant nothing, at least to me, thus pointlessly bumping 4yo post... If U had a point, you could at least express the meaning of necromancy

its been a point here: http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/24991?page=5
and i like the idea somehow, i simply would like to see this being discussed and get the opinion of more community members to this.

quote: failer i did not understand a single thing u wrote. u should ceck your gramamr -_- there 2 can play that game

You do understand that this statement is untrue? Let's compare.

quote: What, Failer ? Afraid you can't compete with the new ways? You wanna be a king who doesn't want more players to advance and become better than you. This is just about ideas, okay? Nothing has been confirmed by the developers. They decide, not you. -_- You failed at that.

Granted, Failer overused ellipsis. That's about all I can complain about with Failer's post. Your post is literally unreadable. It lacks basic punctuation and has some critical errors in it. I had a hard time understanding what you were trying to convey.

quote: failer i did not understand a single thing u wrote. u should ceck your gramamr -_- there 2 can play that game

quote: Failer I did not understand a single thing you wrote. You should check your grammar. -_- There, two can play at that game.

If you're going to call him out on his grammar, at the very least make sure you don't misspell "grammar". Compare these two and you'll notice that after corrections, it is indeed more readable.

I'm astonished.

moleculeman88 , why all the hate? I don't even recognize your nick, nor had any interaction with you before (at least non I can remember).

Just leave it be, better focus all the time you wasted on this pointless matter on something else, something that actually changes your life maybe?

quote: what the :O i'm not perfect neither shaman or failer but still failer is provoking and u say. this is not about grammar. failer is juts messing with me. he understand and so do u shaman. don't do this absurd thing becuase everyone knows what failer been innocent and accusing me about bad gramamr is not the end of the world. failer stop that -_-

There's nothing to argue. Your posts are objectively hard to read. Everything blends into itself and presents itself as a big block of text with no structure or organization. All we are suggesting:

1. When creating a new idea, create a new paragraph.
1a. After each sentence, ask yourself "is this related to the first sentence?" If not, new paragraph, new line x2.
1b. Try to keep paragraphs to 8-12 sentences max. Ideally keep them at 4-5 sentences long.
1c. Is there a reaction emoticon thing? It's likely time for a new line.
2. Use proper punctuation.
3. Use proper negation!

Using these tips you go from



to



Which of these looks better? A few paragraphs are easier to manage and keep track where you are in long winded passages. One big paragraph is intimidating and most of us will go "Too Long, won't bother."

quote: don't do this absurd thing becuase everyone knows what failer been innocent and accusing me about bad gramamr is not the end of the world

This is not only a run on sentence, it's also confusing. This is an example of the grammar that we're complaining about.

quote: okay u know what i won't say anythign anymore, i giving u the right this is stupid i don't want to argue with u or shaman. this has gone bad i'm gonan go silent pls, and that's it we go silent. no need for silly nonsense

So you respond to actual criticism by being defensive and ultimately shutting down? This kind of prideful reaction isn't going to get you far in life. Look, the grammar part is excusable. English is probably a secondary or tertiary language for you. Just work on the paragraphing part. If you're struggling with it, ask for help. I'm willing to offer assistance.
