As some have you have seen & may have already played
there is a new mod I am working on called the: stoneage mod

Thrax was kind enough to host the stoneage mod for us all to use
and there wont be any stats that I *know of* as it was just made
as a cure/test for a new begginers topic problem that just seemed
to gain popularity at the idea of throwing rocks at eachother.

That being said &, my pure boredom I saw a chance to add a spice
of a new variety to play Scorched3D with.. thanks all to judas's
idea to lower abilitys in begginers for experienced users.

So now I will be trying to focas on catoring this little mod for the
*old timer* scorched earth types & focas mainly on keeping it small
in size.. up to 3 megs total

wich is nice for the less download time and those of you who are
stuck in the dialup stoneage of your own. *like me*

mmm..bunga.. small = good.

This Mod is also made for the more aim skilled/patient players..
who like a challenge at heart and, so the most caveman kills
*not* round wins... is the overall winner.

So may the best caveman win!

This mod is mainly for the types of players who are tired of
(or), need a break from of all of the big weapons & fast deaths
& loooong wait times.

Well you still have to *wait* when you die unfortunatly
but thems the brakes.

here you atleast have more chances at gameplay time
& less death wait time so thats atleast a plus.

_________________________________
Todo List

The Final changes to make then its done.
_________________________________

1) changing the name fuel to move.

2) going to add 2 more varietys of caveman tanks

3) 3 more types of weapons.
weapon 1] a poison snake to throw
weapon 2] a coconut bug bomb ( filled with bees )
weapon 3] the heaviest weapon & most expensive..
a prehistoric catapolt that shoots fire rolling boulders.

4) evenly way out the prices/bundle quantiy of all wepons.

5) make 1 custom low poly triangle count dinosaur boid: Pteranodon


6) fix the wait screen logo because it looks too fuzzy as
it was only made for temporary use.

that should about do it & its finaly done & with the v40
new trees & fixes it should look great.

by then I may just add 1 custom map that is foggy & prehistoric
swampy looking but dunno.. trying to keep it under 3 megs total.

some have suggested I add batteries and heres why I have not yet..

I like thraxes soup batteries idea after some thought and might consider
adding *soup* batteries but only sell 1 battery each & very expensive!!

so that people wont get fed up wth trying to make a kill with a pebble
just to have them power up again & have to re-try 3-5 shots..
theres *only* 14 turns so that seems *pointless.*

If anyone can kindly find/create a better wait screen logo
I will be glad to replace the existing as it seems a little fuzzy

and note: notice the scorched game on his screen?
thought that was a funny mix.

heres the existing wait.bmp logo

While I haven't looked at it yet, I do love the idea. Its so................................................... simple, but fun. Is this going to be another for the site?

you should have a regular peble and torch included as well

I have just played the caveman mod for the first time, I LOVE IT

Shock i'd like to congratulate you on a job well done, this is the kind of game i like nice and simple, brilliant idea and executed brilliantly.

In my opinion you don't need to change much, maybe a few batts limited to ten maybe, just so you can kill the bots. Simplicity is always the key to having fun!! Like a kid with a cardboard box

Look forward to playing it more and seeing a lot more players there

What are you talking about. The stoneage mod isn't out yet

Iwould suggest you look at the serverlist again and wipe your eyes!

It is there!

ooops

didn't see that

just wanted to let you all know the mod is nearly completed.
and from that point wont be changing as it feels like everything
is evenly weighed and getting close to 3 megs in size.

It's a truely fun/challenging mod & everyone gets = chances to win
given the time & practice to get into the feel of primative weapons

Lastly Thanks Thrax for Hosting & adding stats for us all to enjoy

Complete? Never!
Yup. Added stats, and what happens! Vihor snatches first place already..
Better get in there everyone, while you have a chance of out-ranking him.

Not only pro's, but great for beginners too. Since you get to stay alive
more than one shot per round... time to learn aim before getting mauled.

I have played and i really like it.

Will you realease a copy on the sourceforge mod project?

Possibly..
But since it's small and easy to grab from the server, just connect with
any 'Recent' version of Scorched and you'll have it.

I keep getting folks now and then trying to connect using older Scorched..
Why?!?
The full current version is free and openly available to the web. if they
can connect to me, they can surely connect to here and update..

As for now, most likely not, but it could change at a later date.

From the overkill of shockmod the the underkill (?) of the stoneage mod. I just had a game a few minutes ago, a fun little mod there. The bone made me laugh.

Thanks For all of your input on the stoneage and sorry if I have not responded to all of you as I only get an hour to play & post lately..

damn jobs/life are geting in the way of my scorhed again

But I do apriciate all the mostly satisfied feedback the mod is geting
and thought I should let you all know from this point on..
the mod now belongs to Thrax.

He seems to be a trustworthy admin and can work his way around
editing the mod well enough.

So if anyone has requests or changes you can all bug -->Thrax<-- about
it ROFL... *makes a clean break for it*

me running fast like---> ...BLLLURRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Not that I dont enjoy making these mods cuz I really do..
I just dont have time to maintain all 3 mods..

scorchwars is my priority before the rest @ the moment with all that
complaining & nagging for tags I have to atleast use them & getR done
like I promised.

Thrax is more then capable & I have faith in him.

enjoy the mod
