New maps and mods are coming out quickly. If you release something (even a beta) please post it here. Be sure to give details in the topic such as Map/Mod name and version
Important
-This game mode appears to be unstable in MP. A fix is being worked on... Well, not really any more. If you really want the mode fixed, email me/PM me/post here and I make another attempt at it.
Two Important Changes
-Deathmatch is no longer confusing to play and plays as one would expect it to.
-By default, units are moved onto team 3 instead of team 0.

Hidden/Spoiler:
Deathmatch Game Mode (dm)
by [RDH]Zerted
Feb. 17th, 2008
Important:
-This map uses the game mode dm. If it doesn't show up on the map selection screen, you need to download a modded shell.lvl.
Objective:
-Frag as many enemy units as possible.
Other Game Mode Notes:
-Use Conquest's settings to set the bot amount.
-Use Conquest's settings to set the time limit.
-Players can freely swap from one 'side' to another.
-A unit is automatically killed when it kills another friendly unit.
-This game mode is stable. Feel free to include it in any maps you are making.
-There is a global reinforcement count. It is displayed at the top of the screen.
-The displayed timer shows how many seconds until the newly spawned, friendly units turn into enemy units (and thus start attacking).
Tips:
-Never shoot a friendly (blue) player.
-Don't use detpacks
-Don't use mines
Possible Future Changes:
-Determine if BatchChangeTeams() would make team swaps faster.
-Directly index players by ID instead of looping through all players.
-Figure out a way to do forced spawning online.
Change Log:
-Now only uses enemy and firendly team colors.
-Point values changed slightly.
-The 'spawned team swap' timer has been reduced from 15 to 10.
-By default, all enemy units are on team 3. The last version had them on team 0.

Without the shell, the Deathmatch mode won't be displayed in the IA or MP map selection menus. You could run/add the map ( DMDg_dm ) through the ingame chat commands or by using a batch file. The example loading picture will be display with or without the shell (unless you delete the folder).
Nice work! What you should do is create a shell to be used as a base. Put in a large variety of types into it so that everyone can download the one shell and everyone can use those types.
didn't think of disableing capturing the CPs in ZeroEdit.
rename [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\shell.lvl to [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\shell.lvl.backup. Put the downloaded shell in [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC
sounds awesome man very appropiate to make a deathmatch mode
haha it not like anyone was working together in the first place why not just make it so we can kill everyone
Maybe it was just me, but it seemed more like a 'everyone vs the player' than a free for all. I didn't see imps fighting imps. Still that's better than nothing.
1) rename [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\shell.lvl to [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\shell.lvl.backup
2) put the downloaded shell in [Game Folder]\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\
Hey, Zerted, could you try modding this to include Coruscant, Mygeeto & Naboo to use Assault Mode & Jabba's Palace to have Hunt Mode. These scripts were found hidden a while ago. The Assault scripts might need to be edited to remove Kit Fisto & Asajj Ventress though.
(NOTE: You're probably ready to type that I should've PMed him. I know, just thought I'd let everybody else know of my idea too!)
Umm, sorry Zerted, but could you change it so the addon maps are yellow again, or just tell me what to edit in the shell so it gets yellow, because my eyes aren't the best and I need to tell addon and regular apart.
