I may look into this as I already know some of the basics, but I don't know how I can make it work right off the top of my head..

Try talking to Smaxx first, or learning yourself.

hmmm, smaxx has not much time, he sayed in a few days...
does anyone know haw i can get the hogs in a position at start?
And after the round back to the position they started?

Heres the roperace map and theme download, no ready luascript yet but for those who want to do training...

a new one, maybe sometime in oficcial version: COWRACE!

Get through the cows body as fast as you can...
anyone any idea?

Just to show you I didn't forget it.

This is a simple/early version that includes time measurement and a simple "fastest lap" tracking:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510538/Hedgewars/Roperace.zip

Edit:
It's intended for 0.9.14. If you'd like to test run it in 0.9.13 you'll have to remove the last parameter/zero for all calls to "SetAmmo":

Before:
SetAmmo(amRope, 9, 2, 0, 0)
SetAmmo(amSkip, 9, 0, 0, 0)

After:
SetAmmo(amRope, 9, 2, 0)
SetAmmo(amSkip, 9, 0, 0)

Report

Bugs:
- You can rope to the finish at the start (1,1 seconds my best time ).
- The hedgehogs fall sometimes to the water. (I would remove the mask at the "Rope" and "Race" and I would place the hedgehogs there.

Gameplay fellings:
AWESOME!
I do not like that your turn will be over, if you fail to rerope or if you touch the mask without using ropes.

Demo: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/2100

At first: a big thankyou to Smaxx!!!

Theres still one Bug: If i slide (even if i slide very smooth) above the ground the round ends, it ends when hitting ropekey twice in a short time, too.
-ok, Fixed by Smaxx

so,this is a well playable Version now:

Can you give me your version?

Its uploaded now in first post!

I created a Roperace-Map of "Plane".

Here is the download link (Alpha):
Planerace

Would be nice if anyone could check the latest script in first post, sometimes the match never ends..., dont know why???

I tested it one time and the game ended.

Some news?

not at all, would be nice if anyone could help ...

An Updated Script of "Planerace":
Planerace with Updated Scripts

And I made the Map "Ropes" ready for Roperace:
Ropesmaprace

Hint: I did not create the maps myself. I only made them ready for Roperace.

Hey, the Ropesmap Race is fery funny!

No, many guys wanted to help but noone did jet

Couldn't reproduce any issue so far (if it happens be sure to save your debug0.txt).

To spawn a grenade that explodes at once use the following line. gtAmmo_Grenade is the bazooka missile (unfortunately).

AddGear(x, y, gtAmmo_Bomb, 0, 0, 0, 1)

I think its only if one player dont get to the finish till time ends or if one player leaves.

Hey Thomas, I managed to fix the bug when one dont get to finish on time...

So, I made custom packages of Roperace and Cowrace, named RoperacePlus and CowracePlus respectively. This is just to make possible having the original versions installed simultaneous with these versions modified by me, temporarily called "Plus". I tested them with only 2 teams and it worked perfectly, when a hog doesn't finish in time, it gets killed after both teams have played. However, what I did not test was 3 or more teams, and I think it won't work if, e.g, 2 of those 3 teams do not finish in time. If that happens then only one of the teams hog will die. To make both of them die isn't hard. The only difference is that the ones who don't finish in time will die right after the clock stops, instead of after all the teams have played, which is not a big problem I guess.. Right now I don't have time to make that work and test, but maybe at the end of the day I'll take a look..

Here are the links:

CowracePlus : link removed
RoperacePlus: link removed

Well done zzero0, I'll test it!

I managed to implement what I said, before the end of the day. So, the following links are updated versions of Roperace and Cowrace, without the "Plus" and without the parody messages I had on the "Plus" version. I tested them alone with 2 teams and it worked perfectly, when a hog doesn't get to the end then it is automatically killed (which makes more sense), and if all of them finish in time then the worst hog is killed, in the end. I also tested with Mrock but it crashed after the first hog got killed. I changed something and didn't test multiplayer again yet. So, download it and give it a shot. Thomas if everything works fine, I guess you can merge it..

Cowrace : link removed
Roperace: link removed

I tested it allone (not multiplayer) with 3 teams. There is still one thing to do: The hedgehogs will not die, if the player skips the turn.

Edit: I found a bug:
You can not finish the game, if the last hedgehog of a team dies, because he did not see the finish.

Hmm I can't reproduce this.. How did you really do it?

Edit: but i found a bug that may be causing that.. if the first team doesn't finish, then the second team will be considered "the worst team" if it finishes, so it dies too. I'm gonna put a better version online (without the skip too), it's kinda hard to know what to do to fix some things without the API to the game..

Here are the fixed versions, check how are them

Cowrace : link removed
Roperace: link removed

Hey Zero, just took a look at the thread and what did i see?? Great!
Ill try them this evening. Thank you very much!

I mean something else. Check my demo:http://www.hedgewars.org/node/2227

I saw the demo.. but I don't understand.. why are you playing with bazookas?

yes, youre right, tried it, too

yes, you do!!!
The demo isnt compatible with the newest script uploaded by zzeroo.

Hmm probably that's the problem...
Try the new version, on the same dropbox link and try to reproduce the bug again..
Currently I gotta study for some exams so I won't have much time to fix bugs.. but if there's something wrong tell me anyway

I just tested Roperace multiplayer (through the internet) and it has a great bug which I can't fix right now but I hope to soon... The bug is, when someone doesn't finish on time, that someone dies and right after that the game freezes or crashes. However, if it is a local multiplayer (local teams) everything is fine, this is weird, seems like a synchronization problem or something... I hope to check on this tomorrow night or so... Meanwhile try to reproduce this...

Hmmm, didt have that problem playing online...
But its still a bug that, if the last hog of a team dont get to finish in time the game will never end
Seems its only if you play 3 or more teams.

Hmmm three or more.. gotta try then

The Ropesmaprace is up to date.

Heya username is Blue online shoppa player, i had a go on your first roperace race (green one) and loved it. Got alot of the other pros to play and had some fun then practising it alot i got a really good time i was wondering if you know of anyone who has beaten 29.156 because thats my current record =)

Then feel free to try the other ones and beat the times
Would be nice to make a fastest times list but you have to upload the demos for that and link it here

Good for you because my record is 32.000

By the way: - did anyone found out now why the script dont work if more then two players are playing?

A list of top 10 best times would be great. We can upload our best record demos and Thomas update the list. What you think Thomas?

Thats exactly what i mean
I will post the top 10 times in first Post if you post them (and a download link to the demo) here.

Ok guys start to upload you records!

Thanks Thomas

My noob record: 32.868

Demo here: http://83.132.196.156/public/Roperace%20mrock%2032.31.hwd

(hit the record in my second turn)

Hello, I slightly modified the .lua and the map.png to allow to track times in different areas of the game.
There are 3 areas and at the end of each turn the times for each area are displayed.
I thought this could be useful for others who'd like to compare different techniques among areas.

I uploaded the map here: http://ul.to/zbhwcx

hmmm... didnt work for me, anyway a good idea, if youre good in lua, maybe you can fix the problem that the game never ends if more then two teams are playing...

HEY! How are you?
Anyway i just wanted to show that i got 31.051 at the roperace map,i hit it somewhere in the end.
Thank you
