I was wondering, how would I go about doing modes of play?


How to tell the game which map to use, how to make it so players join the right game, ETC.


Anybody ever come across this back alley before?

As far as designing it I would use an HTML popup window.

Title screen would be nice. It could work pretty well.
You could have indicators for modes too.

This is what I have right now

var/const/MODE_FREEFORALL=1
var/const/MODE_TEAMS=2


var/playmode=MODE_FREEFORALL
var/current_playmode          // for current game



proc/Join()
    switch(current_playmode)
        if(MODE_FREEFORALL)
            var/mob/newmob = new /mob/smiley()
            newmob.name = usr.key
            newmob.gender = usr.gender
            usr.client.mob = newmob
        if(MODE_TEAMS)
            var/t = rand(1,2)
            switch(t)
                if(1)
                    var/mob/newmob = new /mob/smiley()
                    newmob.name = usr.key
                    newmob.gender = usr.gender
                    usr.client.mob = newmob
                    usr.overlays +=  new /obj/overlays/out()
                    usr.team = "Outlaws"
                if(2)
                    var/mob/newmob = new /mob/smiley()
                    newmob.name = usr.key
                    newmob.gender = usr.gender
                    usr.client.mob = newmob
                    usr.overlays +=  new /obj/overlays/dep()
                    usr.team = "Deputies"


The team part isn't working, lol. So I really gave up on it and started doing things here and there.

BTW, I made it so you have to select the mode like this:

mob/host/verb/Mode()
    set category = "Host"
    var/T = input("Which mode do you want to set it to?") in list ("Team Battle","Free For All")
    switch(T)
        if("Team Battle")
            current_playmode = MODE_TEAMS
            world << "The mode of play has been set to Team Battle!"
        if("Free For All")
            current_playmode = MODE_FREEFORALL
            world << "The mode of play has been set to Free For All!"




Comments, suggestions?

world << "The mode of play has been set to Team Battle!"

//Added an indicator to show current play mode
//Changed a few vars to global
//edited Join()
