Implement Mall-Madness

[JayFoxRox]

Mall-Madness was a mode on littlewhiteys server in the VC-MP 0.1 days, and I remember playing it with the VC-MP developers / testers.

The concept is simple: a couple of spawn points in North-Point-Mall. Everyone has shotgun, uzi and molotov; - M60 and chainsaw can be obtained in the middle but only spawn rarely.

(.. or similar - it's not an exact science).

The Mall doors locked - no vehicles.

So this is a very fast paced and chaotic deathmatch mode. It avoids the problem of long travel and getting shot in seconds. Also you don't need ~20 people on a server for it to feel crowded.

In Mall-Madness there's people running all over the place even with as little as 4 players.

Dropping weapons is important for game balance + so you can see when a player is dead - in modern VC-MP you only know it for certain after a while.
As VC-MP 0.4 doesn't drop weapons anymore (unless I'm missing something) - we'll have to manually re-implement this probably. We can probably use the existing VC-MP pickup system as used here.

Even the kill message in chat only appears when the player is laying on ground - not when they are shot. So ideally we'll also have our own kill messages (and in the future we could move them to another chat-like window)

So we'll need:

• drop_weapons.nut or alternative (check if VC-MP might still offer this)
• Locks for the Mall doors (or kill players leaving the area)
• Classes that spawn in mall, possibly auto-spawn with comment for class selection
• Make players immune to critical hits / headshots
• Testing for balance
• Optional: Score counter / manager
• Optional: Kill message script

(Possibly slightly more)
