Team DM was switched to Hunt mode at the last minute (according to code comments).

Obj mode is commented out in the shell luas. We have all of the necessary files to rebuild the shell, the problem is, we need to make ONE community build of it, or else we'll get 1000 different shells and we can run into big problems. I figure in about 6-8 months we'll have coders who know enough to add in the 'missing' gametypes (really only Obj mode, since as Zerted said Team DM was trumped by Hunt) and possibly add one or two new ones.

Teancum, the missions will probably be able to be added into all of the other gamemodes (proably mainly Conquest will be used)

I shared my founds will OOM-9 so the Arc mod will have timer and objectives etc.

but so far, none of us has made too much, and after he has released his map(s) I'll look into the .lua files so I more clearly can see the basics of the missions/objectives etc.

but I got shipped movies to play in costum maps - so why not objectives...? :wink:

basics of mission/objective maps are rather simple, you have a set of functions they give you, and with a little work with them, it should be a walk in the park to create a mission map, i've been meaning to try it out, but RL has thoughrougly prevented me from getting any modding done in the last little while.

Although if we get around to doing some objective maps, they would be SP only, it would be complete chaos in MP mode.

I don't think it would be complete chaos in MP mode. It would be like UT's assault mode.
