Drive a Mongoose on Custom Edition maps, and play CE's Standard game types
Custom Edition maps can bring their own vehicles, starting with the Mongoose, and hosts get King, Oddball, Race and CE's other game types on maps that list them.
Custom vehicles on Custom Edition maps (MJOLNIRLevelLoader 0.10.0). A map
can carry a vehicle of its own, with its engine sounds, and headlights and
taillights on its own body. The Mongoose is the first, and Yoyorast Island V2's
next release brings it.
CE's Standard game types (MJOLNIRLobby 0.20.0, MJOLNIRHud 0.15.0,
MJOLNIRLevelLoader 0.10.0). Crazy King, Team King, Team Oddball, Juggernaut,
Race, Team Race, Rally and Team Rally join Slayer, CTF, King and Oddball. Click
a chosen tile on the game type screen to step through its variants. The lobby
offers a game type only on a map that lists it, and maps start listing them
with their next releases.
King of the Hill and Oddball rules (MJOLNIRLevelLoader 0.10.0). The
loader ships both game types.
Buttons, gates and shields on converted maps (MJOLNIRLevelLoader 0.10.0).
A Custom Edition map's scripted devices and automatic doors can work on a host,
starting with Yoyorast Island V2 and Sanctuary.
The hill in the world (MJOLNIRHud 0.15.0). A wall of plasma stands round the
live hill, with a beacon you can see across the map. It is gold when empty,
cyan when you hold it, orange-red when another player does, and flashing violet
when it is contested.
Hill line (MJOLNIRHud 0.15.0). In King of the Hill, a line under the score
says how far the hill is and which way: "HILL 12 M LEFT ABOVE" or "ON THE
HILL". Hosts relay each move of the hill to fireteam clients.
Known issues
The Mongoose has only been tested on one PC. Boarding, both seats, driving,
turning, collision, sounds, lights and its DRIVE MONGOOSE prompt were checked on
a test map. Nobody has yet ridden one with a second player on another PC.
The Mongoose's handling is not final. Its speed and steering are worked out
from CE's numbers and have not been tuned by players. It still shows the
Warthog's HUD icons, and whether it takes damage is unknown.
The new game types have only been hosted on one PC, with bots. Team scores,
contested hills, finishing a lap, Rally flags and passing the Juggernaut all
need a second player and are untested.
Devices are host-tested only. A fireteam client has not used them.
