The D Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 A friend and I came up with a fun new game to play in multiplayer. Unless somebody makes a map/mod specifically for this, you currently have to have a server with cheats enabled. The game is called Jedi Jousting. What you do is find a long narrow walkway (the middle pipes at the top of each flag room in ctf_bespin are perfect) and 2 players stand on opposite ends. You then run at each other, jumping in the middle and whacking the other guy with your saber to try and knock him off. More specifically, here's the best setup we've come up with: 1. Start up a server with cheats enabled, the best level for this is ctf_bespin 2. 2 players per jousting session, each player turns on God mode and enables the destroyer 3. noclip up to the middle pipe at the top of any one of the three cylindrical rooms in this level 4. One player stands on each end of the pipe 5. Players wave their saber to announce they are ready 6. When both players are ready they run towards each other, and right before they meet in the middle, they both jump, slashing with their saber to try and knock the other player off This is really fun and the pipes in the bespin stage are perfect, due to their being narrow and slippery. Even better would be if someone could make this into a simple mod where points are issued for the opposing person when someone is knocked off. Additionally there could be maps made for this, with lava or a huge shaft underneath the jousting walkway. Here's a couple pictures to demonstrate how this works: Step 5- Mid-joust- God mode does 2 things for this, one it makes sure you don't constantly die from hitting each other, and 2 it adds an extra bounce to your hits which helps a lot in trying to knock the other guy off. The pipes on the sides add an extra touch, sometimes you can save yourself by landing on them, but it's hard Give it a try I think you'll find it's pretty damn fun, we've been doing it a lot lately in our MP matches... and you can have 6 people jousting at once in that map.

Creston Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Hehe it's cool, it's a variety of Ninja Gaiden! (check the post on jediknightii.net about various styles of multiplayer) Great work! Creston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4RK^FL4ME Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 heh! Thats looks sweet. I agree that this should be coverted into some sort of mod, as im practically a n00b and have no idea how to do the whole cheat thing. Plus, i dont know anyone with a host-worthy connection, so its gonna be hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 lol exactly I find it funny when people call other guys n00bs when we've all been playing the game for only a week Well I'm glad you guys like our idea, now for someone with the skill to make up a mod with maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 Heh thanks, my friend and I take a LOT of screenshots, so we both have a large number of really good ones... that one wasn't particularly impressive to me but it was the best looking jousting pic I had to demonstrate the gameplay. We generally just start up the level and play MP like normal, then once in a while one of us will ask the other(s) if they want to joust; turn on God mode, noclip up there, and away we go We originally had used the top of a building in ffa_bespin but after a while we got too good and the roof was too wide for us; we'd never knock the other guy off. So after looking through the maps we found this little gem and have been using it ever since. Here's a shot of the original bespin location- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPR Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Just tried this on a lan game with a few buddies, and it's fuuuuuuuun!! ;D *runs back to the lan game* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhold X Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 As the other cofounder of this sport I would definatly say that while that location at bespin is really good its afr from perfect. A mod spefificly for this would still be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enDless_Deliriu Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 The good thing about a mod and maps for it would be that it could also be used for the Ninja Gaiden type of dueling as well (as they're basically the same thing, just one doesn't have god mode on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
