ive noticed that there is a new flag clearly stated on the reject or non approved list called tripple barrel
i havent seen this flag on any other servers and its startin to concern me

you can add custom flags using plug-ins, so they can name a flag whatever they want.

thanks

but now i have o ask this question

how?

They write code in a plugin that defines a flag named that. My guess is they are trying to use world weapons to fake the other 2 shots. It will have lots of problems.

It actually works surprisingly well, though there is a little lag between the main shot and the WW shots. Makes me interested in what other flags we can make..

They have an ASS-CANON flag too that shoots from the rear of the tank.
Also holding your team-flag gives you GENO power.

First time I joined, i thought there was somebody cheating.

Like how I just shot myself..

I haven't checked this out but I doubt you get points for killing people with the world weapon.

Like FiringSquad said"They have an ASS-CANON flag too that shoots from the rear of the tank.

Lol me too. It's sorta like what mdskpr did with flags on his lavender town hix he did stuff like "Bedrill" (double shots). It really cool in my opinion.

Yes, you do get credit for the kills made with the extra shots provided by the world weapon. You get credit and a scored point for each kill made with your ass's cannon, the extra two shots of the triple barrel, and all the other shots fired from the Death Blossom. It might tell the kiled player he was hit by the world weapon, but the server scores and credits the kill like all other kills.

Aim carefully and make those shots count!

What's great about ass cannon & death blossom is you cant kill your self with the extra shots.

You can not kill yourself with the extra bullets from the Triple Barrel either. Only your enemies!

Of course, it was buggy at first and you could hit yourself as well as team mates with the extra shots. Not no mo'! Got it fixed and the extra flags are a welcome addition to the server. We have some extra goodies on the backburner that will, again, be game changers. Stay tuned.

I liked the kicker flag, is that one still around? I haven't seen it in about a month.

What did that one do? I have yet to see it.

you got 1 shot only, so you had to make it count, it kicked the person it hit off the server, almost impossible to hit people with one shot at mofo though, lag act funny there compared to other servers it seems like, and the flag was impossible to find, so it was fairly balanced.

Lol that sounds mean.

There was one server i found once, (though i haven't seen it since) that had no normal flags but a whole bunch of custom ones. Didn't realize it was possible to make new ones with plugins.

Was it Lavender Town, the Pokemon-themed version of HIX?

Yup GU.

Where can i find this flag plugin
also im wondering how to make a team flag have the blindness effect

The plugins were not released to the public. You will have to write your own.

That isn't possible.

I'm hoping we have the fifty point flag with a one-shot-limit soon.

And i've been lobbying for this one for awhile... Useless rampage.
After four kills with the useless flag, every new kill counts five points.
After nine kills with the useless flag, every new kill counts ten points.

Sweet thanks. I have useless and I'm not afraid to use it!

Is this up and running?

The kicker flag sounds fantastic. Add it everywhere.
