[mod] Sumo minigame [sumo]

[MisterE]

This uses arena_lib to add a sumo game where the objective is to knock the other players off the platform, using a stick which pushes other players.

screenshot:


The above is a screenshot of the treasure_island map that is included in a repo linked in the readme, for arena schematics. There are 2 other available schematics.

place the schematic in your worldname/schems folder and add it with worldedit.
Use the example map or, better yet, make your own!

I know it doesn't look like much, but a staff can be very powerful in the hands of a martial arts master

Punch other players with the pushstick to shove them far away. Right click with the stick to vault yourself up over walls to escape your pursuers. Sneak+punch to sneakily switch positions with nearby players and throw them over your shoulder! Knock all the other players off the board to win!

The mod now includes air-like and fake water nodes that deal instant death to kill (eliminate) players when they fall out. This allows for making islands that you have to push other players off of, as well as invisible killing areas.

Please post any suggestions for improvement.

added sounds for pushing, swiping, and jumping.

added new mechanics - switch positions with shift-LMB with the stick and throw you opponent over your shoulder, and pole vault with the RMB. Pole vaulting has a 1 sec recharge

added new nodes: fake water and air that kills players

added a prevention of damage when in the arena, except by node_damage and set_hp damage

hint:

Spoiler

hint: when pole vaulting, time your vault (right-click) with a jump to get some really high bounces

[MisterE]

Added visible timer and HUD match countdown

[MisterE]

removed death from game:

A survival server that was interested in having this game pointed out that death is expensive in survival. So I removed death from the game with a hp_change modifier. If the damage applied while in game would not cause death, then it is applied as normal. If it would cause death, then full health is restored, but the player is eliminated. A benefit of this approach is that the player no longer needs to see the you died message which really is not appropriate for this type of game.

hud elements added which display the ability to push/vault with the stick.
They appear when the stick is in inventory and disappear when it is not.

Also, fixed a bug where the the stick would not shove between .6 and .7 sec after last use

[MisterE]

jail added... you MUST specify a jail spawn location in the arena settings now. If updating, make sure to do so.
This allows a couple bugs to be fixed.
