Instead of respawning the instant you die, there are rounds, and you respawn at the beginning of each round, players joining the server will start-up dead and just simply wait till' the end of the round to spawn.
The round ends when:
1.) Last man standing (Open-FFA)
2.) All the players on all but one team are eliminated(CTF and Classic FFA, last man standing if players left are rogues.)
3.) The flag is captured (2 team-CTF)
4.) Time limit (eg. 5 minutes)
5.) Rabbit dies, or heaven-forbid the hunters should
.(in rabbit chase mode)When a round ends, bonus points or team points are given based on the outcome:
On a 2-Team CTF; The more players on a team when the time limit is reached, opposing team is eliminated or flag is captured, the team wins 2 (or whatever amount you please) team points, like you get when you CTF. If an equal amount of players are standing when the time limit is reached, the round is declared a draw and each team recieves 1 point each.
In a last man standing match; bonus points are given if you are the last man standing, perhaps a formula for it could be based on how many players are present in one round (for example half the points for the amount of players in a round, 4 players = 2 bonus points). If the time limit is reached and more than one person is standing, no bonus points are given.
In a FFA with teams (and/or rogues); If a team are the last players standing, they are shared bonus points (again, a suggestion for a formula would be nice). If a rogue is the last standing, then last man standing bonus points are given. Again no bonus points if more than 1 team/rogue is still standing.
In 3-way or 4-way CTF matches(with or without rogues); then you are given bonus points and team points for capturing the flag. If you are the last team standing, then you are also given team points and bonus points.
And finally in rabbit chase mode, points are awarded for how long the rabbit is able to stay alive. (And most points win
) Also, the amount of rounds are based upon the amount of players, so every player has 1 chance of being a rabbit, and seeing how long they can survive for. And if the rabbit is *somehow* still alive at the end of the round, he will still be the rabbit next round (extra round allocated).There could be a set limit of rounds, and when the limit has been reached, all points are reset to 0 and back to round 1.
This is just a general suggestion for round-based games. Feel free to post feedback
), and yes players that do join the server have to wait for the next round, but not too long because, as I suggested, rounds shouldn't take more than 5 minutes
