About

Illegal Exit is the ArmagetronAd competition that tries hardest to capture the feel of the Lightcycle sequence in TRON. Two teams of three players each fight to the death. Only incam view is allowed in play, and no mini-map. Settings are based on the Adventures of TRON server "TRON Experience."*

*Since the Lightcycle sequence has many interpretations, and game physics are highly debatable, these settings are chosen for their unique perspective within Arma. They take full consideration of the program's limitations and have been tested and revised thoroughly by sine.wav and Louven.

Rules

Only the team captain's Global ID is required for sign up. This player should also be familiar with (at the very least) locking/unlocking teams, inviting/uninviting players, and it would be helpful if they knew how to rename teams and change colors too.

At signup, feel free to choose a color for your team. It's a good idea to pick an alternate, opposite color as well, in case you play a team with too similar a color. If no color is chosen, one will be picked for you at game time.

Teams should have no less than three players. If your team is short a player, you may sign up a "bot" to replace them.* Just type BOT instead of their name. (Those who are familiar with TRON Experience know that bots play fairly well in this game.) It's is possible to play with 2 players, even one human and one bot. It is not recommended to play alone; even the best players will lose immediately. Teams must have at least one human player.

*Sorry, you can't submit your own bot. The AoT bots are already highly customized for the game.

Sign-ups will close one hour before the tournament. Brackets will then be filled using random placement. Teams play one match to 25 points. This is a double elimination tournament

Servers

I have a limited number of servers in the NE United States. If you would like to host a server to accommodate more teams and better pings, please PM sinewav on the forums.

Textures

As stated above, camera changes and mini-maps are not allowed. However, some players use transparent walls for incam play. This is perfectly acceptable. Not everyone enjoys it or finds it beneficial. Below is a replacement trail texture at 75% opacity. Rename the file to dir_wall.png and place it in your Armagetron\texture directory. Be sure to back-up your original file so you can change it back!
