Detailed description

Make sure you have the Game Event Handles! Otherwise this won't work.
-Description is lengthy so stay with me here.

(Screenshots do NO justice)

This mod introduces a multikill system into Saurbraten. Just follow the directions in the "READ ME" file for installation instructions.

Now, about the mod:
Those of you familiar with Halo will recognize and hopefully love this addition to the game. I really feel like this is a much needed touch of depth added to Cube.
After killing an enemy, you will have 5 seconds (as a default) to kill another. When you kill two enemies you earn a "Double-Kill!" and you'll hear a bad ass voice announce "Double Kill". If you kill ANOTHER enemy after your double kill, you earn a "Triple-Kill!". And again, you hear the awesome voice announcing your accomplishment. You get five seconds between every kill to earn the next medal in line.

Here's a list of all the Multikill medals
Kills.........Medal
2........... Double-Kill!
3........... Triple-Kill!
4........... Over-Kill!!
5........... Killtacular!
6........... Killtrocity!
7........... Killimanjaro!
8........... Killtastrophe!
9........... Killapocalypse!
10........... Killionaire!!
12.......... Onslaught!
14.......... Bloodlust!
16.......... Berserker!!
18.......... Vendetta!
20.......... Secret
22.......... Secret
24.......... Secret
They all work, and they all have voice overs ^^

Some stuff you should know::
Contrary to what you might think, multikills after about 5 or 6 are HARD to get. BUT.... it really is a lot of fun trying to reach the highest multikill and hear the last two announcements. You don't get anything in return... but it's fun :P
-Also, the font in the screenshot is not included in the mod, NOR does it even matter what font you use.

I really hope you all enjoy this and use it, add to it, modify it, whatever. This is my first mod and I DO plan on further releases of this script and stuff.

BIG thanks to SomeDude for holding my hand through making this and teaching me how to do it! I really appreciate it. Pretty much all the credit for that script goes to him

P.s.
If you wish to know how to change anything about this mod, ask!
P.P.S.
If anyone would like to make a video displaying this system working, it'd awesome. My computer isn't good enough to record and play at the same time. Screenshots really do NO justice.

Why do people never use proper indentation?

And you said you'd release this on sunday, liar! :p

EDIT:
You should note that the game event handles are required for it to work at all, otherwise it's useless ^^

EDIT 2:

($var) <-- these brackets are not needed
You might also want to remove the exclamation marks from the sound variables, they're pointless really :P

Take a different screenshot, which does shows off the multi-kills properly (instead of other wacky modifications).

shotup1 | 2012-06-16 14:03

@RaZgRiZ
Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Editing the first post now!
And it works fine with the exclamation marks and brackets, right? If not I'll fix that real quick

@Suicizer
Look in the top left corner of the screenshot. Like I said, screenshots really don't do much for this mod. I'll try to upload a better one though

RaZgRiZ | 2012-06-16 15:39

They do work, but why give a bad example? :P

shotup1 | 2012-06-16 16:12

It was really just to help me feel organized and I forgot to remove them. But this mod can be changed how ever you want so if you don't like brackets and exclamation points, feel free to remove them
Also, about releasing it on Sunday, I thought I would be out of town longer but it only took me until Friday

Suicizer | 2012-06-16 16:50

I'm not very font of the font you've used on the screenshot, as it's not within the content at all. I would advice not to include them any way, because it seems less read-able as the default font.

Further more, where did you actually get those sounds from?

shotup1 | 2012-06-16 17:43

Then... use a font you like. That's the font I use, you don't have to use it. The mod works fine regardless of what font you use so it's all up to you.... I have no control over which font people use. I did what you said and uploaded a screenshot showing off the medals. If you aren't happy, I'm sorry. I already said it (not sure how many times) screenshots don't do much for this mod. It's all a matter of actually seeing it in game for yourself.

About sounds, some came from Bungie.net and others are from Halo 3 and Halo Reach. They're all made by Bungie Studios. I gave credit in the read me. Nothing is copyrighted. Bungie has said themselves that people can use those voices for what they want as long as they're not taking credit.
Here's a link to the sounds:

Take it easy mate, it's not meant to be offensive ^^. When people see such font, they could think "oh, that font is within content, let's download it!". Then after opening it, they realize it's not and go ask off-topic questions like "Where can I download that font?", etc. So it's better to stick to your own content's topic, than spreading it (as the screenshot is actually misleading on that moment).

shotup1 | 2012-06-17 14:57

Well I added a little note to the top post to let people know. And if people actually read the thread, they'll know what the mod does and it has nothing to do with fonts :P. If someone gets off topic about it, I'll change the screenshot

Suicizer | 2012-06-17 19:44

Well, the problem is, people often don't read (as I'm also lacking sometimes, to be honest).

SomeDude | 2012-06-17 15:51

Ok for starters, this is a script, not a mod.

Second, get rid of "//killstreakexp"... it was a comment I accidentally left in example code.

Third, please close the "onclientfrag" function properly, and indent the code inside.(As it is proper convention)
i.e. (Replace '_' with spaces, as I cannot indent in this comment)

onclientfrag [
____killstreak = (+ $killstreak 1)
____killstreakexp = (+ (getmillis) 5000); <--This semicolon is not really needed either
____case...
____case...
]

edit: default indentation depth is 4 spaces, not 2 :P

shotup1 | 2012-06-18 14:07

It adds 22 sound files so I put it in the mod section. Which is why I said it's both a script and mod (just to be safe?)

Annnnnnnnd done, uploading the edited code now

Edit:: Working on v1.1 at the moment. It will have voice overs that I've made instead of ones from Bungie Studios. Don't worry, it sounds awesome :P

RaZgRiZ | 2012-06-19 19:37

Unless it's voiced by the announcer Q009 made, not interested D:

shotup1 | 2012-06-20 00:36

Sounds similar but with a deeper voice and more... energetic. Hey, don't knock it 'till you try it :P

I'll keep the original files up (whenever I release v1.1) in case people want the announcer from Halo instead. Which, most will
