5 CTF bonus points - ID: 1474424
Last Update: Comment added ( mulvihiw )

In reference to feature request "944645 Get points for
CTF," here is the start of that work. This patch adds
in 2 command line options to bzfs:

1. -ccb: capperCaptureBonus. This gives the
specified number of extra points to the capper for
capturing the opponents flag. Default is 0, but I
would recommend doing about 5 points.

2. -ctb: teamCaptureBonus. This gives the specified
number of extra points to the team of the capper who
captures the flag. Default is 0, but I would recommend
at least 1 if the -ccb is set to something.

The motivation for these options is to make CTF games
more team oriented and, of course, oriented towards
capturing flags and not just killing everyone (which is
the point of FFA). I don't believe this is an entire
solution to making CTF games more CTF oriented. For
example, I would like to follow up soon with a patch
that would give a bonus for anyone who "defends" the
flag carrier. This, along with sticking with the
default behavior of blowing yourself up for
teamkilling, would deter anyone from blowing up the
flag carrier right before they captured in order to get
the extra points.

Is there any chance to get this in before the next release?
I would like to try it out after the next release on my Two
Paths server to see how it affects game play. Let me know
if I need to resubmit it based off of the latest sources.
I'm just working with the HEAD of anonymous CVS and don't
know if thats the proper place to be building stuff off of.
