Chasing parts


NOT a beta release anymore which means it works fine now, finally! There's some rather recent features though, so keep your eyes open for bugs;-)
Please send comments, bug reports and suggestions to me especially for improvements I didn't think of!

What's the point of the game?


OK, imagine the following: The Allies have more than enough glue and paint for building their model planes, and they even have the matching model kits, but they still need plans to build them. The Axis forces on the other hand desperately need glue to keep their machines together!
Now the Allies will try to steal the plans stored in the "Bettenburg":

...and make it to their own safe storage facility to pick up the matching kit!

safestore



The Axis fighters on the other side want all the glue stored in the "Veranda Tower":

to bring it back to the high security place they store the paint in:
aquarium



For security reasons, the storage tanks for kits or paint will be opened only for a certain time (see below), 45 seconds by default, after the plans or glue were stolen.

Teams will score one point for each successful 'transaction' of this kind, and here comes in the only major limitation:
  • The game cannot recognize who picks up what, so make sure you know what team you're on and what you're supposed to do:-)

A word about the start: The starting point is the laundry and when you spawn for the first time, don't start to shoot right away (I know that's hard) but wait until all players have joined and teams are set up before shooting the steam engine in the middle of the room. This officially starts the game and unlocks the windows to let you fly into battle!

added FEATURES:
  • adjustable timeout for 'capture the flag': look out for the following line in the script
    gtimeout = 45; // <= change this value to desired timeout in seconds
  • time countdown and scores now visible to all players

known BUGS:
  • the script does not react when picking up plans, kit, glue or paint when flying through too fast, so make sure you stay on the spot of the pickup long enough for the script to notice - no satisfactory solution yet:-(


And finally: THE DOWNLOAD LINK



enjoy!!
