There and back again~
Hmm... ok, for being someone whose been after a ring race gametype for a long time, I have to admit that the CTF maps aren't quite the best way to use it.
I haven't played this in multiplayer, but so far it seems to be run in the middle of a CTF map, gather rings, then run back. Problem is, each team could do it at their own base, minimize loss and rack up huge scores with little event. The giant rings seem to significantly change the course of the gameplay when they show up, giving those who are the first to fetch them hundreds of rings.
Personally I would see a map using this more of a SP level that is built around going forward similar to a race, and collecting rings. Checkpoints could have those magnet things except they'd pick them up at a faster rate so you can walk by them and still lose a hundred or so rings. It actually may be neater if executed in the SRB2 Riders just because getting rings/items seems to be a natural part of racing games.
And opponents should lose like five rings upon being hit (don't really know exactly what this is actually, guessing its been unchanged) to prevent losing so much so quickly.
Thats it... oh wait, is the program name some kind of joke or something, I wasn't around for older versions so I wouldn't know if its just some old gag but yeah... just wondering.

Another noticeable blemish:
in ring mode, a few stages seem to only have one 'ring post' to a base. The game seems to look for the two closest ring posts, and give each a ring. As such, in the 1-post-to-base stages, you're giving the other team rings. (Most noticable: Nimbus ruins)

As I said above, do NOT let the game pick levels on its own. It will default to the CTF maps and that is BAD. All ring mode maps have two magnets.ZTaimat said:
You can't really get a good idea of how the mode works until you play with other people (+4 player netgames, preferably). Players can and DO interfere with each other, especially considering the fact that attacking the enemy base will A) Temporarily disable the magnet and, B) Spew a handful of rings out of it.JEV3 said:
A new note, try not to host games on levels with spike sectors. I have NO freaking idea why, but it crashes even the host when people join servers with spikes in them. I'll try to get it fixed, but I really don't know what's wrong.

I figured out how to solve the netplay problem already.
Quite Easy if you ask me.

*shoots a random AK-47 at SS64* We would lke to know how fix it so we DON'T have to pause on joins.

Most people pause when people join anyway, due to joiner lag. At least, every server I join. >.>

Hard to pause a dedicated server that sigsevs upon execution. Equally hard to pause when SRB2 exits itself instantly upon player join, unless you expect me to keep the game paused indefinitely, which kind of defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place.

wow it's toast
This mod is awesome, 10/10.
But I found 2 bugs D:
In Ring mode, if you have a weapon ring (Maybe it's only rail, i dunno), it will keep taking it from you at the bases and keep increasing your points until the weapon ring is out of effect.
Another one in ring mode, in one level (The floating one... Cloud Palace), once you go to the base with the rings, it carries them all the way across the map to the other base, and I also found a bunch of blue rings in the middle of the map, just floating there, stuck, not solid.
Other than that, super mod! :)
Edit: Oops, seems one of them was already found.
