It's dark. Everyone has a baton, go figure.
Baton in the Dark is a point based objective map in pitch blackness. Borne from the crappyness of VRAD, BitD forces the frontline backwards and forwards as rebels and combine capture points on a pitch black map. When a point is captured, a light turns on there, making it easier to defend. When all the points have been captured, that team wins the game.
Batons can be used to give off light, or turned into silent mode, where they cannot be used to attack. Flashlights make navigation easier, but make one very visible. In any case, stealth, skills and wit will save you from being Batoned... in the DARK!

Welcome, gentlemen, and indeed any lady that might venture onto these wild realms. Baton in the Dark, the mod that pits you and whoeverthehell else in pitch blackness and lets you run around beating the living hell out of each other is ready for beta. I've implemented all the feature this release is going to have.
All I'm doing now is making the map a little sexier, add capture points to the overlay and fix up everything for go!
Anyone who wants to give this a whirl should head here. Don't blame me if I don't PM you back, I'm currently doing exams, so I'm really busy.

Oh, oh, oh. Oh lol! I've finished it! I've fucking finished it, but now, after some basic changed to Gameinfo.txt, whenever I try to launch the fucking thing, it tells me it's all corrupted and that the memory can't be read and all sorts of other gheyness. Really pisses me off. I'm going to have to remake it completely from scratch, but luckily I can copy pasta all of the code. Small delay, nothing serious, then teh win cam begin!
release this sexy shit now plz
Cheers, ::idiot::.
Umm.. while yeah, it's dark and there are batons and stuff, don't expect the freaky atmosphere of Silent Hill. You might jump when someone sneaks you with a silent baton, but I don't think anyone will be doing a psychological mindfuck here.XD
Making great progress at implementing the new weapons, namely two new types of baton. I should have a release pretty freaking soon.
OOOOOOhhhhhhh.......
I want to play this....
Has a great concept. I reallly want to run in the dark.
My only thoughts are about why this wan't made sooner. This concept was in games before us (DOOM 3, Silent Hill 3) but never a multiplyaer mod. So good job to you guys.
yeah...my favorite thing is to run around in pitchblack too
:P
HDR is currently impossible, because VALVe lied to us.XD
I would think of adding bloom to the flashlights though, that might look cool and impact the gameplay somewhat. I don't know if I can be arsed/get Wraiyth to tell me how.
Guess I'll have to crank up the LAN once you're finished. And you should add HDR :P
Oh yeah, obsticles will be a big part of this. Spac, you played the original Baton in the Dark map, think of this as more refined and chaotic at the same time.
Team menu is complete, and teams are well implemented. The objective gametype is implemented but it still needs fine tuning/getting to work. After that, there are some weapon alterations and a map to build... then... DONE!
Cheers. The only issue with media is that all the maps are in the pitch black, which makes the media look like a pitch black screen.XD I'm making great progress coding it though, I should have a release soonish.
