R Unlimited CZ

I will try to add it to server, but now I am busy, so it will take some time. I'd strongly recommend the variant that drains HPs from the dancing grangers. IMHO it is a lot better and requires more strategy. The modified sources are at github - branch granger-dance-give . The diff against the vanil...

Perhaps it'd be better to create a separate category for this and split it into several threads? Mods adding new strategic options (and also fun :-)) Granger-dance is discussed in a separate thread . Scare AKA taunt+nade : If a goon or a rant taunts behind a human carrying a grenade (within a given...

That's the idea. When a granger's HP would be less than the amount it gives to OM, its dance would simply do nothing.

Yet a slightly different modification came to my mind, as the build timers seemed a bit arbitrary to me. What if instead of using build timers grangers would give their health to the OM? That would limit how much health one granger can contribute. And after (re)building an OM, grangers could evolve ...

I agree, there is no need to compensate humans. Still, I wanted it to be more a fun thing than something that shifts the balance. So I updated it a bit so that: The number of HPs healed can be set by a server variable g_alienGrangerDanceBonus . The following formula estimates the overmind build time...

A good idea, I'll let my server running for a few days, just look for Nalf's server - granger dance.

Just for fun, I made a simple Tremulous mod: If a granger near an overmind taunts while in the air (i.e. in jump), the overmind is healed by some amount, or it's building is advanced by some amount. Just imagine a group of grangers jumping and taunting near a building overmind ... The modified sourc...
