[B36] The Gauntlet Version 1

Click here to download

Summary:
The Gauntlet in Doom, Malas. Automated spawning and door management. - Update 04/02/04

Description:
This package is my version of the actual Gauntlet (as close as I have got it so far). The script contains The teleporters for getting into the rooms, mebane2's Gauntlet monsters, and uses David's spawner (included is you have not already downloaded it.)

The script also has a fix for OSI's keep the door open trick (at least it should fix it, it has in the testing I have done).

The spawns are calculated as such:
A monster is spawned for each party that enters the room.
If an unpartied player enters the room, a monster will currently still spawn (I've placed this in intentionally).

The spawn of the Dark Father is worked on the average of the previous spawns divided by 2.

This can be used in conjunction with the Gauntlet Entrance script (no modification needed). I haven't tried with any of the Victoria quests, so I can't comment on modification for them.

04/02/04 - Version 1.1 - Thanks to joshw for pointing out problem with the restarting Gauntlet, should be fixed now. Download and replace the BaseGauntlet.cs file.

04/02/04 - Version 1.2 - System changed to resemble more closely information given by Cmonkey123. New method adds a monster every time a new party steps on the teleporter (only needs one member to). Players are unable to spawn more by dropping out of the party/joining up to another party after stepping on the teleporter (they can however go in seperate at first and then join up inside to get more monsters.)
The files BaseGauntlet.cs, DoomTeleporters.cs, and GauntletGen.cs should be replaced.

Installation:
Place the scripts into your custom directory
You do NOT need to replace Spawner.cs if you are already using David's spawner.
You do not have to overwrite any of mebane2's gauntlet monsters, except for the BaseGauntlet.cs file. The GauntletShadowKnight.cs should still be copied over.

In game type [gauntletgen
The first room should be locked, and ready to go. :)

04/02/04 - Version 1.2 - To upgrade from previous versions I recommend you do the following.
1) Go in game and remove the previous doom teleporters leading into the rooms (you don't have to, but it saves deleting from the console due to serialization later) then save.
2) Shut down the server and replace the files BaseGauntlet.cs, DoomTeleporters.cs, and GauntletGen.cs
3) Restart the server, and then go in game and type [gauntletgen

This will remove the previous gauntlet, and replace it with the newer one.

It's not only one Dark Father that spawns, I know that for a fact (I've ran from one straight into several others too many times heh :)). Whether its always 4 or not though I'm not sure, which is why I've put the average in.

As for the corpses, my mistake, one thing I overlooked was resetting the telepads :oops:
Files updated to v1.1 - only need to overwrite the BaseGauntlet.cs file
Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)

The spawns are calculated as such:
Once the first person steps on the teleporter, 4 monsters are spawned. A timer of 10 seconds starts, which at it's end stops the teleporter spawning more monsters.
For every other person after the first, if the teleporter will still spawn, then an extra monster is added.

Example 1:
Player 1 steps onto the teleporter, 4 monsters spawn and the timer starts.
Player 2 steps onto the teleporter, the timer hasn't finished, no monsters spawn.
Player 3 steps onto the teleporter, the timer hasn't finished, an extra monster spawns.

Example 2:
Player 1 steps onto the teleporter, 4 monsters spawn and the timer starts.
Player 2 steps onto the teleporter, the timer hasn't finished, no monsters spawn.
Player 3 steps onto the teleporter, the timer has finished, no monster spawns.

The spawn of the Dark Father is worked on the average of the other spawns.

I like your system, but having worked on my own version, I know your spawning system is incorrect (I'm not sure how the dark father spawing works, but I'm 100% sure on how the minor boss spawing works).

A minor boss spawns for every party that enters the room (or steps on the teleporter). This spawning continues until there are no mosters left. So, for example, even if you have one boss left and it's near death and another party comes in, a new boss will spawn that will need to be killed before the room opens.

I'm pretty sure one dark father spawns for every party in the gauntlet area divided by two. So, if there are 4 parties in the guantlet area when the dark father is about to spawn 2 fathers will spawn. If there are 3 parties, then it would round down to one dark father spawn.

I hope that helps make the system closer to OSI :D

I've constructed the majority of the first part of the quest (the Victoria part). I can finish it and send it to you if you'd like.

I didn't really follow the idea of v1.2
On the first version, when I entered the room, 4 monsters spawned.
Now, when I enter, only 1 spawns. Is it correct or something is not working properly?

Thats correct due to information told by Cmonkey123.
For each party (I also count single player not in a party as a party) that enters the room, 1 monster spawns, opposed to my previous method of 4 monsters spawning, then one every 2 players till theres 6 monsters spawned.
