1-4-player arena update for a207

[Thomason1005]

hey dudes,

i just love the 1 vs 1 offline mode, so i just modded the arena script to spawn 2 players each round, which enables the splitscreen mode.

teams are created randomly, meaning sometimes you fight against each other, sometimes with each other... its cool so i kept it like that

at the moment, its pretty random who needs to move to enable the ai / who needs to press the attack button to start a new round.... i'm working on it (who knows what the 0 in GetInputDown(0, "attack") means?)
Also, i havent worked on the winning/losing screen yet so it propably does whatever it wants

have fun and let me know if you find bugs etc.

you can now set the amount of players by opening the arena_level.as and change the player_count to the amount of player-controlled characters you want (1-4)

Wow. Looks awesome.
Too bad I have no friends to play with.

You are a beautiful person. I have done a hackish version of this several times to play with a friend, but it was all funky and stupid. I fully support the continued development of this.

awesomeness. i hope david incorporates this feature into the final release. this is one of the rare games my girlfriend will play with me =O

looks great man!

The split screen in overgrowth uses landscape side by side, as opposed to top and bottom. Side by side would be fine if I could run it in portrait mode. My search for a fix led to Last saying it's hardcoded into the game. I hate the black barz

now for a203, with the new features... dl in first post

Awesome, do you mind my asking where exactly you made the changes? I've managed to get 3 players so far, and we are about to try for 4. Only problem I'm seeing is the more there is on the level the more intensive it gets when you add more players. We have tried going into the arena and I figured I'd have to change something in the scripts or .xml file, but I don't have the time right yet to comb through everything. If I happen to get find it before I get an answer I'll be sure to put it up and I will be putting up later about the third (and potentially 4th) player possibilities so other people who want to play with their friends can

ehm changes are
line 56: new identifier var for the second player
line 424-426: select random spawn for second player that isnt the one of the first player
line 429: spawn a playable character on the second player spawn point too

when you want more than 2 playable characters, youll propably have to disable 1v1 fights.
the gametype is selected in line 380, but idk which number identifies which type

btw when you use notepad++, theres a nice compare extension

[Nasuki3]

Okay, thank you very much for that info

This appears to be a terrific mod, however I am kinda code illiterate and can only extract the zip as action script, which won't run when placed in the Levels file. Apologies if it's something dumb on my end, but I just can't figure out how to get this to work.

you need to replace the one in the Data/scripts folder with the new one

Looks really great, I will try it tomorrow!

Could you please make some adjustments so it can be used with 3 and 4 players? I've been playing overgrowth with some friends lately and a multiplayer arena would be pretty awesome.

[Thomason1005]

theres a 4-player versus mod, i think you should use this one then, as most of the arena code becomes obsolete when you always have 4 players.

When will it be updated?
