Here it is, The cool Death Run mod for CoD4 has ben created!



For those that don't know what it is... Death Run is the game where jumpers have to complete map and kill activator before he kill them with death traps.

I won't be writing features list here because mod is still in alpha stage and not all features were implemented.

Current mod version is 0.4a (alpha) which im still working on it. The change log includes:


Got one bad news and one good news.
The first one is that server files are not released yet, thats because it is still in alpha stage and i want to finish mod first before releasing files.
The second one is that version 1.0 will be free to everyone and will include server and client side files avaiable to download.

Now, if you are interested in making maps for Death Run, feel free to make them, i will help everyone with scripts and spawn points.
I suggest you to use forums on my site to allways get newer informations about mod, maps and help in making maps for mod.

Very unique, good job.

Good work brax, mods like this makes cod4 is more fun than it already is.

.
You could also make an alternative game mode where players have to get to the end of the obstacle course where there is a random weapon. The first to arrive can get the gun and shoot the others so they cant come, but must be careful because you only have one mag.

Greetings and again, nice work pal

Thanks for your interests and ideas :) Three new, much more detailed, maps for Death Run are in development...

Looks great, really is unique.

I have some ideas, though. I think it would be better if the activator and the jumpers don't see each other directly. The way it is now, if there are few jumpers, most of the time none of them will reach the activator.
It would add to the tension if they didn't see each other. Maybe the activator can have the jumpers always on the minimap (infinite UAV), so that he knows they are in the area of a trap, but doesn't know their exact position.
And the jumpers should also get a UAV if they successfully get across a trap (but only one UAV per trap; the first one to pass that trap would get it, the others don't; otherwise, it would be abused).
Also, the activator doesn't have a lot to do. Maybe there should be alternate routes. If the activator sets off a trap, a door should open and another route with traps would be available. This way the activator will be on constant alert and would have to run from button to button.

On another note, it would be great if there were traps that didn't require activation. For example, a laser tripwire that would be hard to see and would change position between rounds.

Also, as a last defense, the activator should receive a C4 charge. The jumpers have to pass through a small and dark room before reaching the activator, but a C4 can be planted anywhere in the room, so they have to be careful while passing it.

Your first idea isn't really good, game would be boring and it would affect in ragequitting activators. All rest depends on mappers choice.

Its very innovative, well done!

As said previously, i too think the Activator should not see the players as of course by doing so remove any skills from the players and makes it more a game of luck as the Activator basically can pick and choose who he is going to fry/let fall.

Im proud to share information that i've uploaded version 0.5a to the test server, so im posting change log here:



Another cool news is that two new maps were created for mod:

mp_deathrun_long - Very long and hard map with 15 traps. Created by BraX.






mp_deathrun_watchit_v2 - Long map full with deadly traps, (medium dificulty). Created by Viking.




Some screenshots taken in mod:

New version of Death Run has ben finished. It is currently most stable version and probably BUG FREE. Here is list of changes:


Also posting changes from 0.5:


Today server was updated to 0.6a.
CoD4 1.7: 85.214.158.249:30000

For those that dont know what Death Run is...
The classical mod in which a single player fights alone against the other team,
his only weapons are his deadly traps. The players in the opposite team have
to kill the trapmaster after finishing his course without dying.
