Gruppe Adler EndGame Template

This template brings BI's gamemode EndGame up to par with GA's gameplay standards. It provides the mission creator with a range of functions that automatically do the out-of-editor work for him. All the necessary mission modules come pre-placed and mostly pre-configured.

Differences to Vanilla EndGame

  • removed revive ability (only ACE now)
  • removed 3D task markers
  • removed 3D and 2D schematics carrier marker
  • removed map markers that showed presence of enemies in bases
  • removed ability to pick respawn point (only FOB now)
  • wave respawn system (see below)

Respawn System:

  • during phase 1 and 2 players may only respawn in waves
  • wave size is dependant on number of players (or mission parameter)
  • when a player dies, he sees a countdown after which he will be added to the next wave
  • when the first player gets added to a wave, that wave's countdown starts
  • the wave respawns as soon as it has enough players and its countdown ends
  • players that die in phase 3 become spectators
