Capture the Flag

Rules

Capture the flag offers an exciting variation on team play. It gives meaning to base defense along with offensive positioning and strikes.

The basic premise is: attack the enemy base, grab their flag, then take it back to your base. In this variation, you must touch your base flag while carrying the enemy flag in order to score.

Map modifications have to be performed in order to enable Capture the Flag play on a map.

The rules are as follows:

The command 'flag-show' gives information on the current disposition of the team flags.

Maps

In Capture the Flag mode, the stock id Software levels have been modified with flag support, which may be played with or without custom model support. The Capture the Flag 4.1 custom client PAKs add sixteen new levels

Scoring

The following scoring model is used for Capture the Flag:


Common Problems

SZ_GetSpace

Occasionally, you may note SZ_GetSpace: Overflow showing up in the server console logs. Because QkrMods pushes a decent amount of aliased commands to the client console, clients with inflated *.rc files may experience problems. It is recommended that QkrMods clients be started with the -zone 1024 command-line parameter to allocate more memory to the zone buffer. Since this parameter is in bytes, it should not have a significant impact on client memory usage.

Unnconnected

A player showing as "Unconnected" can be a result of one of serveral problems: an unset player name, a client attempting to connect to a server which requires custom .PAK files, or a TCP/IP routing problem.
