Why is swimming not allowed in this event?
It doesn't give any advantage in co-op and it's funny to do

True ... this event does not require strict rules...
they've been adjusted ...

Hey, Ostap, do I have to download a special mod for this (ST8, PESE/PEFE) or I could play also from original Sam, too?

I still don't know if I can join tourney.

Absolutely not ... the mod i've created is on the server side ... and does not affect any clients...

Thanks for reply.

Ok. Now I have two more doubts.

About the "out of map" rule, is it also for secrets? For example, the secret of heart on Hatshepsut or the secret of heart+200 Armor in Dunes, are they considered out of map? Or is it "collect all the keys"?

I before said I don't know if I will join in it because I want to know if a gamer has to play continuously all the maps, or he/she could play when he/she can. I just don't have much time to play all day long.

I guess I can answer that for you: secrets are (obviously?) part of the map and are thus considered accepted terrain. Out of the map would be jumping over the left/right walls in for example Metropolis (FE) and running in a straight line towards the end in the flat desert environment.

1 - No outside map walking

NO Above the map
NO Below the map
NO Bypass maps on the walls

Examples :

You can play any maps on choice.
The full game is not required.

[Bloodnowsky]

How about to add custome maps or is it already ?

I'd like to have custom maps in this event, too ..and somebody who wants to play them with me

I understand: I observed a lot of players doing that in Karnak, months and months ago. :asd:

Today I made some training: in 1 hour and quarter I played since Hatshepsut to Kings Valley. So, if I play the first maps in the first day, could I "continue" in the next day?

Yes!!! I will! just contact me when u want

No, unless there is a different system in place since the last tournament (but i highly doubt it).

Every time you disconnect from the server you have to start over again, even when the reason for you disconnecting is the too many bad syncs error message.

You can however return to the map you were playing with the @map command

Yes, I know command "@map", it is like to choose custom level in single player.

The important thing I want to know is if the score and progress I made in the first session I play (let's suppose Hatshepsut-MoonMontains), remain registered in tourney stats (in forum) or if they start from zero in next session (from Oasis to Alley of The Sphinxes, let's suppose again) I restart to play in Ancient Hunter server. In the case the stats will count 2 or more separate games, will they be merged manually in this thread by admins?

The scores are cumulative, yes. If you get 2 points for example on day 1, then on day 2 you will have 2points + what you make on that day (and so on).
I hope everything is clear now?
