When you spawn you will be prompted to choose a team. When this is done you will be teleported to your teams spawn location and given your equipment. Good hunting!

Map is generated as a normal new map would be.

Any suggestions/requests/comments please let me know!

I will most definitely be releasing a greater variety of PvP scenario, so watch this page :]

This map is a custom close spawn map, i added a score counter in the top left to count the number of launches each team has sucessfully made!
It has a market for buying items, and you start with a good amount of gear.

Let me know what you all think

This is a great idea. Having watched the tutorial video I commenced trying to make a map.

Of the maps created none seemed fair in starting positions.

Looking into the code I found that it could be written for easier reconfiguration of starting_inventory.

Then It occurred to me that the script could be edited after the map was generated to set a more fair set of starting locations.
Loaded a new map first entering blue team. Moving to a fair location and getting coordinates from debug screen (F5)
- rinse and repeat for red team.
Extract "control.lua" from save game - edit coords - re-compress into save game .zip

This is the result of the effort:

PVP.Map.1.zip

Map with changed starting positions.

Yep i need to work on a lot of additional stuff, one of my items to do is clear out biters around the spawn locations in a certain radius, work on a diplomacy menu and much more.

I have a map that is almost ready, but i need to wait for version 0.12.5 for me to finish off one of the features, but hopefully i will be able to release it this evening

Sneak peek of map

It actually my old PvP map for version 0.11, but i have updated it and tweaked it for a 0.12 release

[Klonan]

I have updated the OP with a new release. a custom map with a new score mechanism the ROCKET SCORE!

I may update the original release to include this score mechanism... Stay tuned!

[HeilTec]

I'd like to try the new PvP_Newlands_RvB.
How many players would be optimum?

There is space for up to 3 players on each team, if you wall want your own base area, but more or less players will work absolutely fine.
I think 2v2 is a good number for an interesting game

I was disappointed to be unable to ghost or use blueprint so I added these lines to the create_forces function

Code: Select all

	game.forces.blue.technologies["automated-construction"].researched = true	

	game.forces.blue.technologies["automated-construction"].researched = true

I suppose being given bots and blueprints are not just meant to be a teaser.

haha, actually i beat you to it, i realised last night i forgot to add the proper commands so i ninja re-uploaded the scenario with them in

[saladin1980]

I believe if we can get the engineers to join on this we would be able to have a play through at least with some interesting pov on the game:) as some can stream while in MP and other do not but they record..

So will put it to the group and see if we can get this up and running and put up some vids about it

[HeilTec]

It is a hard choice - how much to buy of each.

init

Initial conditions - and pricing.

Hi yea there was a game update that broke the scenario, i have updated the OP with a new download that should work with 0.12.12

Let me know if you have any problem or bugs ETC.

[Leosmellsgood]

How do you start the pvp? like where do you drag the pvp file to, similar to a mod in data??

Drop the scenario file in the scenario folder.
To start a new map you start the scenario.

[Klonan]

I have released a new scenario (Just called pvp) which is for 2 teams, and is Orange Vs Purple.

It is far better than the previous scenarios i have released.
Any bugs, comments or general inquiries, please let me know.

[JuicyJuuce]

I'm confused about how to start a new multiplayer game with this scenario. I unzipped the contents of pvp.zip to my Steam\SteamApps\common\Factorio\data\base\scenarios folder. However, within the game, I can't find where to start a multiplayer scenario. From the main menu I go to Play -> Multiplayer and all I see is New Game, Load Game, and Connect to Game, none of which allow me to start a scenario. If on the other hand I go to Play -> Custom scenario, it allows me to create a new game using "base/pvp" although this appears to only be a single player game.

What am I missing?

[Klonan]

What am I missing?

Nothing, at the moment the only way to play scenarios MP is to open in single player, save them, and then load into multiplayer
I'd suggest waiting for the teams to be unlocked before saving, as sometimes the map is unsuitable (mostly lakes on team spawns) so that you will have restart the map

[Kalrirr]

I've played a fair bit of your map but I don't understand how you're ment to get purple research going, there are no biters on orange vs purple and the market doesn't sell the alien stuff. Some help would really be appreciated!

Klonan, how you make the "choose team?"
I'm currently building a custom map, for single player, but i want to player to choose starting location.
I have all the needed coordinate.
So basically just teleport function, i don't need "choose team" function.

This is the code i have in the gui function:

This creates the gui and buttons:

Code: Select all

function make_team_option(player)
  if player.gui.left.choose_team == nil then
    local frame = player.gui.left.add{name = "choose_team", type = "frame", direction = "vertical", caption="Choose your Team"}
          frame.add{type = "button", caption = "Join Orange Team", name = "orange"}.style.font_color = orange_color
          frame.add{type = "button", caption = "Join Purple Team", name = "purple"}.style.font_color = {r = 0.5,b = 1, g = 0.1}
          frame.add{type = "button", caption = "Check team numbers", name = "check"}.style.font_color = {r = 0.9,b = 0.9, g = 0.9}
		
	end
end

and then this to see what button they press, and teleport the player when he clicks it:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_gui_click, function(event)
 local s = game.surfaces.nauvis
 local player = game.players[event.player_index]
 
  if player.gui.left.choose_team ~= nil then
    if (event.element.name == "orange") then
      player.teleport(game.forces["Orange"].get_spawn_position(s), game.surfaces.nauvis)
      player.color = orange_color
      player.force = game.forces["Orange"]
      player.gui.left.choose_team.destroy()
      player.insert{name="iron-plate", count=8}
      player.insert{name="pistol", count=1}
      player.insert{name="basic-bullet-magazine", count=10}
      player.insert{name="burner-mining-drill", count = 1}
      player.insert{name="stone-furnace", count = 1}    
      player.set_goal_description("Destroy the Purple Roboport")      
      for k, p in pairs (game.players) do
        p.print(player.name.." has joined team Orange")

      end
    end
	end
  if player.gui.left.choose_team ~= nil then
    if (event.element.name == "purple") then
      player.teleport(game.forces["Purple"].get_spawn_position(s), game.surfaces.nauvis)
      player.color = purple_color
      player.force = game.forces["Purple"]
      player.gui.left.choose_team.destroy()
      player.insert{name="iron-plate", count=8}
      player.insert{name="pistol", count=1}
      player.insert{name="basic-bullet-magazine", count=10}
      player.insert{name="burner-mining-drill", count = 1}
      player.insert{name="stone-furnace", count = 1}    
      player.set_goal_description("Destroy the Orange Roboport")
      for k, p in pairs (game.players) do
        p.print(player.name.." has joined team Purple")
      end
    end
  end
  if player.gui.left.choose_team ~= nil then
    if (event.element.name == "check") then
      local orange_count = 0
      local purple_count = 0
      for k, p in pairs (game.players) do
        if p.force == game.forces.Purple then purple_count = purple_count + 1 end
        if p.force == game.forces.Orange then orange_count = orange_count + 1 end
      end
      player.print("There are "..purple_count.." Players on Purple team and "..orange_count.." Players on Orange team")
    end
  end
end)
