Hi there, I have no knowledge of scripting, coding et al.

To a layman, how would you describe the pros and cons of using the seige mode for the mod.

Sorry for being a nuisance :)

The siege mode has totally different gameplay from the usal multiplayer modes. In siege you have clear objectives to fulfil, using specified items and weapons.
We will use siege mode because it is the most nearest to SP gameplay - but we will remove the MP useability for the mod.

And again, since there is only MP source code available where we can make new weapons and ennemies, we have no other choice than to use MP engine.

I just hope Icarus scripts function correctly in Siege mode. That is if siege maps use Icarus scripts.

It does, at least there are also some IBI files for the siege maps.
Check the PK3 and the SDK :p

Thanks Frac, checking them out now. Most people have very very little knowledge of Icarus scripting (I was the same :p) and I'm currently writing some Icarus scripting tutorials, starting from easy stuff to more complex detail, that way people can get an idea of it.

Our own site, Luke, we even have a tutorial section.
It's about time someone continues filling it :p

Awesome,

I'm just starting with very basic Icarus scripting (a 1 line script :P) that do a hell of a lot to the game. Then they move on the more complex sort of material. How will I post them to you Rich?

Are they in HTML? If so, it would just be an e-mail, or FTP job :p

When I've got time (definately after vacation) I'll convert them to HTML and upload them to the FTP. Time is HEAVILY constrained with the 'Malanka' ('Ukrainian new year ball', which was fantastic) and getting ready (clothes, food, etc etc) for the vacation.
