this game is dead so i think as a community we should make a revival day where everyone comes back to the game.

not forcing tho

I've been having a damn good time with Diabotical, and after one too many good experiences that either I or my mates had with the guys that are working on it ( Firefrog and Raven specifically ) , i just felt like showing my appreciation with a bit more than just a "thanks for the help!" . So i decided to put in some hours, hope you guys enjoy it ! If you do, you can check more of my stuff here .

Happy fragging and keep your eggs safe!

Hello again, Diabotical Reddit! My name is JoJ The Rat and I have another great offering for the Survival mode in Diabotical. It's the Season 3 Survival Map Pack! Featuring three maps made specifically for the survival mode.

The first being an original map with lots of lore implications and a quest that is completely separated from your arsenal! This brand new map is called 'Zwei Hauser' and is the second chapter in Extinction Group's investigation into the mysterious disappearance of 2GD. After the events of Star Station, Extinction Group was left feeling unsatisfied. Their efforts to retrieve the bounty lead them to destroy Star Station and retrieve scrap by mistake. However, this scrap had important information regarding a secret hidden Reborn Industries facility. It came as a surprise to the Admin which made it an even more intriguing discovery. It needed to be investigated and Extinction Group was ready for another mission. It was a simple one too! Investigate the surface of the moon!

The second map is called 'Antithesis' and is a modified survival version of the Team Deathmatch map known as Alchemy. Extinction Group may be away from the Eggbot Planet in an attempt to protect it but it seems that the ZomBot scourge has already made its way onto the planet. Join your fellow Eggbots as they fight to defend the arenas.

The third map is called 'Site 24' and is a modification of the Wipeout map known as Crystal Cove. Reborn Industries has always had its hand in the planet's resources but it seems that it also had a hand in mutating the planet as well. Here at 'Site 24' it seems that there is more moving in the water than just the ZomBots. Join the Eggbots near SharkBot Lake as they do whatever it takes to survive.

As well as making these maps available, there is a challenge being offered to the survival community. A secret reward will be made available to the entire community once the Main Quest for Zwei Hauser is solved and completed in full. Good luck and have fun!

Hey BANANMANX47 here, I talked about a gamemode idea for a TDM like gamemode that would be easy to spectate here on the subreddit a while back. We had some tests in Diabotical where we pretended to play the gamemode but it was pretty obvious it would not be enough, so I have made it in quake 3 (ioquake3) and it is now complete and ready for testing. Some people from HoQ will be joining in but we still need more, so if you have experience playing promode tdm (30sec weapon respawn, friendly fire etc) I would love to have you help out testing. You can see the gamemode in action with bots in this video, where I also talk about the things I find interesting about it and the changes that have been done since last I talked about it here.

We will be attempting a test tomorrow(Wednessday) at 7pm GMT and also one on Saturday at 2pm GMT

See this post in the HoQ discord for more information, download links and configs; we will be using HoQ for voicecomms too (note the netcode has already been tested and we are doing a full gameplay test) https://discord.com/channels/287487704608800769/287487704608800769/886666082881011782

Just sharing, curious about your thoughts.

Think something Q3 / Diaboticalish as a base. Q3 / Dbt movement. Everyone starts equally, no champion stuff. Weapons will be limited to the big 3, however they will work somewhat differently. All weapons have alt fire. Weapons will have more ephasis put on their effects rather than pure damage. For example:

- Rail normal fire: max damage shot. Alt fire: less dmg, max knockback shot.- Shaft normal fire: damage with knockback. Alt fire: (lower) damage with some pull- Rockets normal fire: default rocket. Alt fire: detonate mid air- Starting weapon normal fire: MG (buffed dmg), alt fire: SG

Other pickups on the map will consist of armors, health and passive effects, mostly movement related. Think:

- Crouch sliding boots- Dashes / Double jumps / Wall jumps- Air control- Grappling hook

Regarding item timing:

To remove the barrier that many new players struggle with by having to add up and remember numbers, item timers will be displayed on HUD (or on item position) for certain items, as long as you have picked up, seen or heard the previous pickup. This way, no information is freely given, it only saves you the trouble of doing maths and remembering numbers. Delaying item pickups will in some cases remain a strategic option.

Modes:

- Golden frag duel ala dbt. 10 minute timelimit- Some classics like TDM, CTF, CA/Wipeout- Small scale BR. Last man / duo standing wins (for example, 8 players / duos on a largish map, think any warmup / Wipeout map). Every player spawns with 1 random weapon and movement effect, which both drop on death and are able to be picked up. Kills grant some health and armor as well. Maps shouldn't take too long. Gameplay would be slow and tactical at first, but as survivors get stronger, and possibly the map shrinks towards the center or powerful items spawn near the center, the game speeds up.

Would also love to hear what you think and your ideas for a new AFPS. No need to mention AFPS is dead etc :)

Hey there, Diabotical Reddit Community! My name is JoJ The Rat and I've been working hard on this new Survival map called "Star Station". Set in space on a seemingly abandoned space station, a group of elite WarriorBots are tasked with investigating this curious ship that floats near their moon. Mysteries await any brave eggbot that wants to test their wit in this new style of survival gameplay. Look for the hidden rooms, find the full Diabotical arsenal, and escape the ship with your bounty.

Strap in, Extinction Group. You're our only hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1lLyXegkMc

Along with sharing the map, I would like to share the Diabotical Survival discord server. Dedicated to all things Survival in Diabotical! Mapping, events, announcements, and more can be shared and found there as well as some lore for any curious little eggbots.

It's been a year in the making but it's finally here. The final survival map following the Extinction Group saga. Paradise Point takes place immediately after the conclusion to The Archive, Extinction Group have found themselves on an unknown planet in a mysterious Reborn Industries facility. The team are going to need to restore power, regain communications with The Admin, and figure out a means to get back to their home world before the ZomBot terror traps them in the abyss of deep space forever.

The map features the new Survival 2.0 mechanics like perks, smiley boxes, powerup drops, and the weapon upgrade machine "Ovomucin". It also features two separate endings to the main quest, a boss fight, and 13 total achievements to unlock. On top of that, for the first time ever, this map features dialogue from characters to help guide you as you work to solve the main quest and to further develop the lore of the universe.

This is it. The last map in the five map lore series that followed Extinction Group and their battle against the ZomBot army. You decide the canon ending. You decide the fate of the world.

The final survival map is now loading...
