[TimEh]

So we had a little playtest with domination. Let me hear your thoughts and suggestions with the game mode.

This might be a minor criticism, but the icons on the left side look a bit too large. Also are the points received by the players based on the amount of kills they got? or capture point touches? Its looking really nice so far

p.s chumbo's fangirling at the beginning of the video D

They scale with resolution.

Since there is no capture time there's a high degree of touch and go.

Hehe

Here's my POV of the games. (Including the girly fangirl) This was so much fun guys.. Honestly. Can't wait for shockdom also. Fantastic work timeh

The nostalgic original capture points I got so excited. haha

Absolutely amazing fun and already very stable A small thing but I would like to see some alternative positions for the HUD, maybe in the top middle like the CTF hud - top left feels a bit out of the way as it is.

I've said this in our teamspeak, but I'll say again that the test map that Epic made that we're playing with fits so well for Domation, it's as if they've been playing with it all this time, haha.

I agree mystical. The map plays amazing. If I do make a Dom map, I'm totally going to this map for ideas.

[Wormbo]

So, what about teams green and gold?

Welcome to the thread Wormbo, and thank you for this outstanding question.

The code for yellow and gold team is already partially in the game so I bet it could be easily added once they finish working on it.

Played it, was fun !
Cant think of a problem that I encountered, worked without a problem and was fun. Map was very good too - I can see Spacer and SidCastle also work very well for Domination.

Good Work!

Is it possible to get hold of the unpackaged files? I'd really like to take a look at the blueprints.

Amazing work, TimEh! I played several DOM games last night in both weapons and instagib and really enjoyed it! Here are a few quick thoughts based on my limited play time:

• The current audio cues (CTF flag alert sounds) for the Control Points being captured or taken are a little jarring at first, although it could just be because I'm used to hearing them in CTF. Maybe they're placeholders atm and I eventually did get used to them, but I think it'd be nice to have something a bit more subtle. I like the idea of using the flag "capture" sound for when your team controls all three CP's, but I think it's a bit much to hear every time your team grabs a CP.
• Goo currently sticks to the actual Control Point (suspended in the air). I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but it was something I noticed.
• It feels like the CP's capture a bit slowly. Maybe it's just me (or it could have been latency from when we were playing on the French server), but it seemed like they should switch faster when you run over them.

I'll try to compile more thoughts and ideas as I think of them, as I'm sure I'll be playing this mod a lot this week. Thanks again for your work, TimEh! This really is a great start and a ton of fun already. Below is a link to my Twitch VOD from last night as well. The Domination gameplay starts around 01:17:00. I'll clip it out and upload it to YouTube this evening for easier viewing.

Managed to play some this evening. Nice job, everything works nicely. The capture sounds are a little loud and a little capture delay would be interesting too.

I'd be interested in converting Lab so we have another map to play it on. Granted it's not the best map for it but more maps in general is probably good.
