BBB support #109

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There should be a special server setting for running BBBs.  It might include a 
way of indicating whether a particular level is an "official level" or a 
"intermission" level.  Not sure if it is something that the admin should set on 
the fly, or if it should be stored in the level file itself.

The need for this was most obvious when the reddit group tried to organize a 
bitmatch tournament.

Other controls might include...
Being able to make persistent Admin Announcements
Being able to suspend action until teams are set
Being able to prevent player-initiated team changes entirely
Being able to set a countdown timer for when "official" play will resume

...although I'm not sure all of these features fit into a single umbrella BBB 
gameplay mode or server setting.

Pushing off to 016a, though some of these items could be implemented sooner, 
and some are covered by other cases.

Needs review and decision on what to do for 019, what to defer to 020, and what 
to delete altogether.

Offical level vs intermission level:  Make this a "tournament server" option, 
which could be toggled in the hostgame menu.
Being able to make persistent Admin Announcements:  Make this always on using 
/announce (done already?)
Being able to suspend action until teams are set:  Certain levels this would be 
nice on.  perhaps a /manualteams command, or something specifiable in the level 
editor per level?
Being able to prevent player-initiated team changes entirely:  A server option 
in the hostgame menu for this would be great.
Being able to set a countdown timer for when "official" play will resume:  This 
won't be used outside of tournaments, and I'm not sure its necessary if we 
distinguish between intermission maps and official ones.

From what I gather, we've got most of this already in some form. I think we've 
decided to totally nix suspending games, which seems fine to me because there's 
a simpler system we could use.

Basically, I think if we add a /intermission command then this is solved. I 
imagine /intermission as simply displaying an intermission message and time 
remaining in intermission, then restarting the current level (with the same 
teams) once the timer is out.

You can simply disable team changing in the INI, which will fix the teams. Then 
we have /announce for  announcements (if it isn't permanent then we should make 
it permanent in all cases, to be cleared by passing an empty string).

There is also a /resetscore command, and don't forget /shuffle!

Maybe an intermission is better handled by loading a level and letting people 
play, but with an intermission tag on the screen somewhere.  The intermission 
time would be controlled via normal game-length controls, and it would give 
folks something to do while they were waiting.

actully i could see these being used outside of tournaments I know i would 
perhaps make it official?

perhaps a /suspend and a /resume commands combined with a /lockteams 
/unlockteams command.
