After talking a little on IRC, I've decided to revive the idea of people making their own gametypes. I feel that the whole Worldbuilder/integrated Mods scene has left basic modifications to how the game plays behind, and I thought it a good idea to make a thread where anyone and everyone can post gametypes that they've created for all to enjoy.

I'd like this to be a clean, organised thread, and any mode that is posted I'll put in this post. If you've got a gametype that you think is fun to play and/or has good online potential, post it here - it might even get accepted as an official gametype if it's good enough!

If you do want to submit a gametype, make sure you post it in an easily understandable format, and, if you like, post a short description about what the mode is/how it plays/what it's supposed to represent.

Note that newer modes will usually be added to the bottom of the list rather than the top.

Part two of the modes list can be found here.
Part three of the modes list can be found here.

Here's one of my favorites.

In this mode, both players start a short distance above the ground. The idea is that the players brace for impact and then flip up to attack their opponent with powerful flying kicks and punches assisted by the launch.

Master Of The Dojo
By: Dikarika
Matchframes: 1000
Turnframes: 50
Dismemberment: 1
Fracture: 1
Disqualification: 0
Dismemberthreshold: 150
Fracturetheshold: 100

Engagedistance: 125
Selfdamage: 1
To say that this plays a bit like Aikido is probably the simplest way of describing this mode. There's the added element of opener strategy - due to the longer engage distance - and there's a good possiblity of long throws due to the large arena and lack of Sambo gravity.

Shaolin Style
By: Dikarika
Matchframes: 600
Turnframes: 30
Dismemberment: 1
Fracture: 1
Disqualification: 1
Dismemberthreshold: 85
Fracturetheshold: 65
Dojosize: 750
Engagedistance: 175
Selfdamage: 1
Grip: 0
If Master Of The Dojo is Aikido, then Shaolin Style is Wushu. The low dismember and fracture thresholds coupled with fairly long turnframes mean that making mistakes can be quite fatal to your chances of winning. There are also good opportunites for defensive or strategic techniques due to the long engage distance and the existence of a dojo limit.

Sumo Butt Battle
By: Dikarika
Matchframes: 975
Turnframes: 30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100
Mod: sumo.tbm
Dismemberment: 1
Fracture: 1
Disqualification: 1
Dismemberthreshold: 200
Fracturetheshold: 150
Engagedistance: -100
Selfdamage: 1
Grip: 1
A rather odd mode, Butt Battle speaks to me of backwards Judo with Sumo wrestlers. The incrementally increasing turnframe counter forces players to think ahead, and the odd engage distance setup makes it difficult for players to rely purely on fast openers.

Wudang Swordsmen
By: Dikarika
Matchframes: 280
Turnframes: 40
Mod: twinsword4.tbm
Dismemberment: 1
Fracture: 0
Disqualification: 0
Dismemberthreshold: 500
Dojosize: 800
Engagedistance: 250
Selfdamage: 0 - I'm assuming you don't want to impale yourself
Grip: 1
A variation on the TwinSwords gametype, Wudang Swordsmen adds mainly subtle changes to the mode, including making it harder to directly hit your opponent on the initial few turns, slightly shortening individual turns and lowering the dojo size.

Much like TKD, you should however try playing mainly with relaxed joints, because of the low dm- /fracturethreshold you can easily lose/frac a holding limb.

"I haven't playtested it yet, just had the idea. It'll force you to have a solid opener, and contingencies in case you see that it's going to be beaten. Boring as piss to watch, I'm sure, but a hell of a lot of strategy involved."

"This mode is focused on ground fighting. Although players begin slightly below the ground, this is to force them to fall onto the ground and grapple. Sambo makes the players fall quicker, and makes fighting and force more realistic than the default mod. The intention of this mod is to either disqualify your opponent, or to use a somewhat realistic wrestling/grappling move to score points.

Inspired by the jujitsu class I had last Wednesday at Karate ."

"A short form of judo with a smaller dismember threshold and a very small dojo, so you have to think on your feet when choosing your move. Also your move can be more varied due to the small amount of the turnframes."

The goal Is like akido, but it has diffrent reaction time and you have to think ahead more in order to trip your oponent up without screwing yourself up at the 60 frame area.

(The 75 Threshold is quite diffrent too )


Not a verry good replay, But I'm no good playing myself.

well it's 3am here (insomnia... i hAs iT ) i was wandering on the forum and bumped on this thread, so i decided to turn your modes into mods (just copying rabidclone idea which was to turn modes like wushu and all to mods)

so here they are your gamemodes turned to mods

edit : realistic and 5by5 were screwed , now fixed all 3 works fine

Ooh, that's a nice idea. Thanks!

Yea, it's 2:20 here at the moment - I'll add the new modes in the morning.

I have a ton of modes, + my new airdrop mode...

I wonder where, I'll dig them up...

from ye olde signalman server days. =)

Found my old .bat file contents:

Master of dojo:
toribash_server -m 1000 -t 25 -r 15 -f 10 -e 125 -j 500 -l 150 -c 100 -N "Master of the Dojo"

Shaolin Style:
toribash_server -m 600 -t 30 -r 15 -f 14 -e 175 -j 750 -l 80 -c 60 -N "Shaolin Style" -M "Your Wushu is no match for my Shaolin style..."

Sumo Butt Battle:
toribash_server -m 975 -t 30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100 -r 15 -s 1 -f 11 -o sumo.tbm -e -100 -c 150 -l 200 -N "Sumo Butt Battle" -M "Sumos back to back; cheeks to cheeks... Who will reign supreme?!"

Wudang Swordsmen:
toribash_server -m 280 -t 40 -r 15 -f 2 -e 250 -o TwinSword4.tbm -j 800 -l 500 -N "Wudang Swordsmen" -M "Swords + Wushu = Flyin Swordsmen"

Now to translate that to english...

PS Wudang and Shaolin were the two most popular. I also had a JKD before the official one (it sucked hard though) and Sumo butt battles was only used for a short time. Master of Dojo is a bit like sambo...

Man, these modes are old. ADTerminal and Suomynona had some modes from my server also. I remember a self damage only joust that was quite awesome. Other modes also...

That doesn't look difficult to decipher at all. I'll have a go...

3vi1, your ninja mode may work better with the capoiera mod...

Its like sambo, but higher leg strength...

Just an idea... =)

Also, the modes above went thru testing and changes. I am unsure if those posted are the final versions... Should be close though.

Funny that, I knew there was a mod that had that effect but couldn't remember what it was called - I'll see how it plays. Thanks for pointing it out.

well here are the modes Dikarika posted earlier
