Game modes and filters for a LAN party? - wretch - 05.08.2012

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could recommend game modes or filters for a group of 4 players? We would be on a LAN, playing once a week for half day. We're kinda new to SA-MP and still have a poor grasp of what's available.

So far, we have played LVDM which was pretty fun. But for 4 players, it seems like it could get boring after a while.

I don't mind installing MySQL if it means a persistent game that can be played weekly for a month or two.

Also, is there a deathmatch that can:

1. place weapons throughout the map (can be preset or random)
2. spawn a player in a region selected from a menu, or auto-spawn a player close to the action

Appreciate any feedback, thanks.

Edit: Forgot to say, there will be little or no Internet access!

Thanks megamind. Sorry, I forgot to mention that there would be little or no Internet access. That's why I want to setup a SA-MP server for the LAN.

Hello, wretch!

I'm glad you enjoy playing San Andreas: Multiplayer! I can think of no gamemodes which can do exactly what you've said off the top of my head, but if you could PM me with some instant messaging/e-mail contact details, I could write a gamemode for you and your friends in my free time.
Also, you might find a few deathmatch gamemodes which you might enjoy in this thread, just look for the (T)DM section:

Hello TheBetaFox and thanks for your kind offer. I am too new to ask for anyone's spare time or scripting skills.

I plan to go through every deathmatch GM that is publicly available. There must be one that can do something close to what I need. What I need is the same deathmatch found in almost all FPS games!

Basic deathmatch is:
1. Spawn into a map with weapons and items (and cars) scattered throughout.
2. Kill every other player until a frag or time limit is reached.

To address the size of San Andreas world, perhaps a menu could be offered a dead player. Allow the player to re-spawn in a specific SA zone, the last zone where player was killed, or an option to "spawn in zone with most players."

From my limited experience with SA-MP, I think pure deathmatch would be a very fun. It's been around since the Doom game which came out 1993!
