If anyone here has Twitter it would be awesome if you could help me and VRocker turn our idea of a virtual reality game into a living idea.

We are aiming to get into the top 100 which would get us some artwork (then we can Kickstart it), and the ideal goal is to get into the top 10 because then that would actually give us the funds to create the game.

If you could login to Twitter and then hit the vote button for us that would be awesome.

Liberty Unleashed Global Watchlist Module

With the help of AdTec_224 and VRocker I have created a module for the global watchlist that stormeus set up a few days ago. The basic idea is that it will grab the watchlist from the Liberty Unleashed site every 6 hours and on server start.

This module allows server owners to plug it in and decide what they want to do with anyone found on the watchlist, such as kick or ban the player. The watchlist will be updated and mainted by the Liberty Unleashed Staff meaning that you don't need to worry about the data being wrong.

The scripting functions that this module includes are:

Watchlist_CheckName( string name );

This will check the specified name against the cached watchlist, if theres a match it will return true.

Code: [Select]

function onPlayerJoin( pPlayer )
{
local check = Watchlist_CheckName( pPlayer.Name );

if ( check )
{
// Do something with the player.
}
return 1;
}

Watchlist_ForceUpdate( void );

This will force the server to update the watchlist, we have made it so that you can only do this one every six hours.

Code: [Select]

function onPlayerJoin( pPlayer )
{
Watchlist_ForceUpdate();
}

Watchlist_SetUpdateInterval( int interval )

This will set the automatic update interval, the minimum and default time is 6 hours.

Code: [Select]

function onScriptLoad()
{
Watchlist_SetUpdateInterval( 21600000 ); // This will set the update interval to every six hours (in ticks). 1 second is 1000 ticks.
}

The source code for this module can be found http://force.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/downloads/watchlist/sourcecode.zip.
To download the modules click http://force.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/downloads/watchlist/modules.zip.

Installing this module is as easy as adding LU_Watchlist.(dll/so) to your modules folder and calling LoadModule( "LU_Watchlist" ); on the onScriptLoad event.

We will try and maintain this module as best as we can and might even expand on its functionality in the future.

If you find any bugs let us know as soon as possible!

LU: Conquest is a little something I've been working on for the past two days or so, I've ported it directly from Miami-Dade: Starfish Island Conquest as that was always the plan. The basic idea is to try and obtain control of the two checkpoints on the map. The first team that hits 0 respawn tickets looses the match. Tickets can be lost through being killed and owning none or only one base.

You gain EXP and will unlock more weapons, ammo and armour as you progress through the levels (there needs to be a minimum amount of players in the server to prevent boosting/stats padding). This script should be ready within the next few days but heres a little something for now:

There isn't much left to do apart think of some better map icons, fix the map boundaries and privately test, hopefully this can be used for some LU tournaments in the future or something!

The LU Clan League is something that I have thought of to try and get clans actively playing LU as due to the lack of game modes that there are currently around theres not many people playing.

Format

The format is simple, teams will play a round against each other when it is suitable for both teams. The rounds will be a 10 minute death match on a money grub server. The team that collects the most cash in those 10 minutes will be declared the winner.

Gaining Cash

Gaining cash is simple, for every kill you make you will gain $100, for every time you are killed you will loose $50. If you get 5/10/15 etc kills in a row without dieing then you will be given extra bonuses.

Points

Points will be rewarded to teams in the following format; Win: 3 pts, Draw: 2pts, Loose: 1pt.

How long till we win!?

Once the league is over, if any teams are tied on points then the team with most cash gained throughout the tournament will be declared the winner. We are unsure on how long the league will last, it will be dependant on how many teams enter the league, as they will all play each other twice.

Organising a match

It will be up to each team leader to organise their next scheduled match with their opponent, if any team fails to turn up they will score 0 points. The result of each match will be confirmed by both teams for it to stand and a referee will also stand in to confirm the result (PM me if you would like to referee a match).

Sign up

When you sign up please state your team name, entrants and what skin your team will be using, choices will be Darkel or Claude. If two teams fight who have the same skin then the team highest in the rankings will get priority.

Head on over to http://forum.project-apollo.co.uk to sign up, post here if you have any questions.

Information

Liberty Unleashed Minimodes is a script that I was working on before the release of LU as part of testing, it was used a few times but it never really saw the light of day so I've decided to release this so people can make better use of it.

Note; I haven't done any work on this script for a while so there may be a few bugs, if you do find any let me know so that I can get them fixed as soon as possible.

Installation

Installation of this script is simple, simply extract the LUMinimodes folder to the 'Scripts' folder in your server directory and edit your content.xml to add the following:

Code: (xml) [Select]

<script folder="LUMinimodes"/>

Staunton Gangwar is a script that I created for the Project Apollo team so we had a server in LU, I've decided to release it now since it shows good integration of server and client scripts.

Note; I haven't done any work on this script for a while so there may be a few bugs, if you do find any let me know so that I can get them fixed as soon as possible.

Installation of this script is simple, simply extract the StauntonGangwar folder to the 'Scripts' folder in your server directory and edit your content.xml to add the following:

Information

LUS (Liberty Unleashed Scripting) is a new script that I am working on which will be released in different sections of code which scripters will be looking for, such as registrations systems, bank systems and possibly any requests people may have.

The first part to this script is a registration system, this simple registration system is easy to use and comes with both /register and /login commands. The scripts have been heavily commented to help in figuring out what it all does.

Installation

Installation of this script is simple, simply extract the LUS folder to the 'Scripts' folder in your server directory and edit your content.xml to add the following:

Code: (xml) [Select]

<script folder="LUS"/>
There is one toggleable feature and this is the amount of invalid password attempts you can have before being kicked, this is set to a default of 3.
