INTRO

Bafflua is a collection of several minigames, inspired by the old Baffbot which was created and maintainted by Baffler for over two years. It features several of the old games including Trololo, Reverse Survivor, Bloons, and several more classics, as well as a slew of new ones! Each will play randomly one after another.

Complete with Holzinator-style greetings, fast-paced action-packed rounds, dedicated rooms, and more! You can find Bafflua in /room #bafflua on any server, currently with English, Portuguese, and Chinese translations.

--------------------------------------------------

DEDICATED ROOMS

You can type !games in any Bafflua room to see the minigames currently in play. Any game on this list can have its own dedicated rooms where it'll play just that one minigame.

You can get these by having the room name as #bafflua[number][game]. The [number] can be any number (and is required due to the way modules work), and [game] can be the game's name. For example, #bafflua19ffa will only play free-for-all, and #bafflua0fallout will only play the Fallout game.

As an added bonus, you can get to play specific perm maps in the same way! #bafflua0p5 will only play art maps, while #bafflua19p17 will only play racing!

Ever wanted to test maps with people, but aren't in the same tribe as them? Any room suffixed with 'test', for example #bafflua0test will play through P1 maps by default, but you can also queue a map with the command !queue @code. You can only queue one at a time, and it acts like the /npp command. Please note that tribe house and deleted maps may not play the first time, due to the way maps are loaded onto the server.

Jealous of a blue name and room mods? Don't want to have to wait to load a map with the queue feature? Are you power hungry? If the end of a room name is someone's username, like #bafflua0shamousey, they get to be a room mod for that room and unlock new commands! !map @code, !play game, and !test game @code (where "game" is the name of the minigame) are some of the commands you can use.

--------------------------------------------------

MAP SUBMISSIONS

All of the information about requirements for maps submitted to each minigame are below, although map submissions are left in another thread for both organisation and to keep the discussion thread clean.

Topic-340623

TO-DO LIST

There are several more things that should be done to Bafflua, this includes new minigames, more maps to be added, bug fixes, and more.

-Give mice time for a victory dance instead of instant-cheese?
-More than one minigame in a dedicated room, like #bafflua0ffatrololol
-Trivia translations
-CheeseHunt being remade as a minigame Topic-320494
-Box building, currently not possible to do well http://oi54.tinypic.com/11idd1y.jpg
-Time left occasionally breaks.

--------------------------------------------------

COMMANDS

There are a few commands that people can use in any Bafflua room to get additional information.

!help - Displays a short message and a link to this thread.
!mort - Kills yourself, because /mort is disabled in module rooms.
!games - Lists all of the games currently available in Bafflua.
!maps [game] - Displays the maps currently in rotation for that game.

In any Bafflua room ending with "test", people can queue maps to play next, using the following command.

!queue [@code] - Queues a map to play next.

Due to there being dedicated rooms where people can be room moderators, it seems like there should be a list of commands that people can use, and what they do.

Please note that this functionality is intended for testing your maps for Bafflua before submitting them and playing the minigames you want, and not to be a fully fledged moderation system or

!test [game] [@code] - Plays this map on this minigame (doesn't work well with Push/Trololol).
!map [@code] - Plays this map.
!play [game] - Plays this minigame.
!skip or !next - Skips the current round.
!kill [name] - Kills the player.
!admin [name] - Makes this player a room moderator.
!unadmin [name] - Revokes the player's room moderator powers.
!time [seconds] - Sets the current amount of time left to this.
!ch [name] - Gives this player 1337 points, so they can be shaman next round.
!respawn [name] - Respawns this player.
!ban [name] - "Bans" this player from the room. This kills them when they spawn and gives them a message notifying them that they're banned.
!unban [name] - Unbans this player.
!lock [number] - Locks the room to between 5 and 50 players.
!c [message] - Private chat with other room moderators.

--------------------------------------------------

CONTESTS

Have you seen someone with a red name in a #bafflua room? That's the result of them winning a contest! Every now and again, there will be a different contest hosted. These will be announced in #bafflua when they occur, and larger more organised ones will be discussed and arranged on the forums.

Contests could range from the first to win in a Racecamp map, the shamans killing everyone in Survivor+, the best map made for Bafflua, or several other possible things.

Prizes can be varied and there will be several different prizes depending on the contest. A red name in #bafflua rooms, a custom scripted map, your own greeting message, and winners-only chat, and several more planned things.

--------------------------------------------------

PLAYGROUND (not currently added)
Description: This is a mini remake of the popular Playground game, with a few of the old maps brought back with this.
Maps: Maps aren't being selected for this, there are a lot of old ones to still be added.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/TmDn3Ae.png[/img]
BALANCE
Description: You're spawned on a small plank balanced ontop of another ground, and you have to work with everyone else to try and not fall off before time runs out.
Maps: Mice must be spawned on a small dynamic platform that will topple if it isn't balanced. That platform shouldn't tilt to one side automatically.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/MPQmIQS.png[/img]
BLOONS
Description: Ducking will spawn a balloon just underneath you, carrying you up until you jump off or spawn another one. A pseudo-remake of Baffbot Balloons, although it isn't possible to attach a balloon to a mouse just yet.
Maps: Maps should have well positioned cloud grounds that aren't easy to jump through, and must have good gameplay getting to the cheese and back.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/60XyvvW.png[/img]
BOMB
Description: People are split into two teams and must get to the opposition's side in order to win. They can tap space to explode - killing themselves but useful to either kill a nearby enemy or boost a team-mate.
Maps: The red team spawns at the left at 60,350, and the blue spawns at 740,350. The areas the teams have to get to are the left and right 100px. The spawn point in the map can be anywhere between 200 and 600.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/75UvCMd.png[/img]
CHEESE HUNT
Note: This is a remake of my old module #cheesehunt, implemented into Bafflua as it wasn't particularly popular on its own.
Description: Your mouse's objective is to collect every single piece of cheese on the map, there may be a single one or a ton.
Maps: All maps must include [url=www.simonemiraglia.it/dev/tfm/cjobjects/newSite/]Cjobjects[/url] fake cheese instead of regular cheese, and be submitted in the following format. The first number is the @code, the second decides if flying should be enabled or not, and the rest are x/y co-ordinates of the cheese on the map.
{'@code',flying,'cheese','cheese','cheese'}
For example, the following map will have 6 cheese and flying enabled, but no shaman.
{'@3994519',1,'720/330','650/75','530/300','400/75','270/300','150/75'}



[img]http://i.imgur.com/SqjChPW.png[/img]
CLIMB
Description: 20 clouds are spawned randomly around the map, try to find them and climb them all to the top, and you'll be rewarded with cheese!
Maps: Maps should be clear to allow for the clouds to spawn and for mice to manoeuvre around.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/8l1oHwY.png[/img]
DANCE (removed on request from Baffler)
Description: The shaman will give you a direction to move in, and you must copy them if you want to get the cheese!
Maps: Mice will be teleported to 85,105 and 715,105 when they win, and the shaman will be locked at 400,140.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/W7qXk15.png[/img]
DISCO
Description: 15 seconds of pure dancing, partying goodness, with extra points for sweet dancing, and colour changing names. What more could you want?
Maps: Any fun, very good quality map suitable for dancing on can be submitted.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/3ooH5wj.png[/img]
FALLOUT
Description: You look up in the sky and see an object getting closer and closer. Is it a ball? A small box? Maybe even a large box? No, it's an anvil! All of these objects fall on you, and you have to try and avoid them to stay alive.
Maps: All maps should have small platforms for mice to be knocked off of, none of which should have collision with objects. There should be a background-coloured rectangle above Y:0 with foreground, so people can't see where objects are spawning.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/PrYAOTz.png[/img]
FREE FOR ALL (removed on request from Baffler)
Description: Duck to shoot a cannon, last mouse standing wins! Good old fashioned free-for-all, even if it's not as feature-complete as #deathmatch.
Maps: Maps should have good gameplay and be easy to get kills, while also letting people stay alive.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/JGkx3jA.png[/img]
FLY
Description: Ever wanted to feel like you're a hacker? Well now you can, because tapping space makes you fly!
Maps: Maps should make good use of flying, simple shaman maps won't be good enough. Corners to fly into to gain momentum and obstacles to dodge both make good maps.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/G0PAQJO.png[/img]
KING OF THE HILL
Description: Collision based last-man-standing, push everyone else to their deaths to win for yourself!
Maps: All maps must have collision enabled, and have good gameplay for few players or a lot.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/oxt4M9E.png[/img]
LAUNCH
Description: Clicking on a mouse with an arrow will launch them in the direction of the arrow!
Maps: Shaman based maps with gaps or leaps for the shaman to force mice to make are good.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/3Uh1doX.png[/img]
PORTVIVOR
Description: Shamans must stop the mice from getting cheese back to the hole, all they're equipped with is an arrow that can spawn a portal - any mouse entering the portal will die.
Maps: Two holes and two cheese is recommended so the shaman can't just cover one, and the following base XML should be used. http://pastebin.com/3RpZMNiQ


[img]http://i.imgur.com/49SlcAh.png[/img]
PUSH
Description: Push the box off the map to be rewarded with cheese!
Maps: Maps shouldn't include a box, but the submission should include the co-ordinates of where the box should be to start.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/Z8z2z10.png[/img]
RACECAMP
Description: This is in effect bootcamp and hard racing maps, but with less time than bootcamp and faster respawning.
Maps: P3 and P13 maps are played evenly, but additional bootcamp or hard racing maps can be added.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/FNsLhch.png[/img]
REVERSE SURVIVOR
Description: The tides have turned, it's the mice who can now shoot the two defenceless shamans! Ducking will shoot a cannon, and the shaman has to survive.
Maps: The following base XML should be used and all grounds should have no collision, and the shaman spawn should be inside the cage. http://pastebin.com/z5jnDUNq


[img]http://i.imgur.com/bPvFRlg.png[/img]
SHAMFLY
Description: The shaman can press space to make every mouse in the room fly, so they must time it well to make sure no-one dies!
Maps: Maps should make good use of flying and make sure that there are platforms for mice to stay on if needed.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/NQZc16E.png[/img]
TWO SHAMAN SURVIVOR
Description: You might be used to regular old survivor with a single boring shaman, but with twice as many shamans there are twice as many cannons flying around!
Maps: Just like regular survivor maps, but must be tough enough for two shamans to be needed.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/A6BWzR9.png[/img]
SIMON SAYS (not currently added)
Description: Simon says dance! Do what he says or you'll suffer the consequences.
Maps: Most random maps with lots of space and nice decorations will suffice, preferably tribe-house style with multiple spawns so that mice are spread out, and a hole people can easily get to.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/m73v8nd.png[/img]
SMASH
Description: Survivor, but with a twist! If the shaman clicks on a mouse with a spirit or totem (not spawning the object), then somewhere else, the mouse will be flung in that direction, like a slingshot!
Maps: Regular P10 survivor maps are used for this.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/ln2CK1k.png[/img]
SNOW
Description: It's not Christmas, but it's snowing! Just try to be the last one alive and kill others with your snowballs.
Maps: Maps should have several small platforms for mice to stand on and throw snowballs at one-another.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/Q1mKU1b.png[/img]
SPIRIT JUMP
Description: Duck to spawn a spirit below you, and get to the cheese, but watch out for everyone else's spirits knocking you around!
Maps: Maps should make good use of the spirit jumping with lots of obstacles and enough space for mice to jump around freely.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/iT88EhR.png[/img]
TELEPORT
Description: Instead of spawning objects to traverse the map, the shaman can spawn blue and orange portals at an arrow, letting them and the mice get across easily.
Maps: All maps must make good use of this mechanic and not be solvable within three arrows spawned.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/f6ogBs3.png[/img]
TRANSFORMICE
Description: While not a minigame itself, regular Transformice maps will play occasionally so you don't miss out on any good old regular gameplay! This also allows the dedicated perm rooms to work.
Maps: N/A


[img]http://i.imgur.com/MgjOUvb.png[/img]
TRIVIA (not currently added)
Description: A question is asked and potential answers are given one at a time. Duck if the current answer is correct and you'll be rewarded with cheese!
Maps: Not accepting maps right now.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/vzMOCEQ.png[/img]
TROLOLOL
Description: A fellow mouse has betrayed you and has stolen the cheese and it shooting cannons at you to protect it, go get it back!
Maps: Until spawning NPCs is possible with the API, all maps made must have a Cjobjects mouse in it, and co-ordinates of the mouse must be given to know where the cannons will spawn from.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/w7V0kIr.png[/img]
VAMPIRE
Description: Vampire survivor.
Maps: Regular P11 maps are used in rotation here, however if there are a surplus of maps people want added without being P11, they'll be stored up and added some time later.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/373PTbV.png[/img]
WALLJUMP
Description: Walljump to survive, simple right? Wrong. Gravity gets stronger over time, so it's harder to keep up!
Maps: Maps must have lots of space to walljump without any platform to stand on, and a safe spawn that will slowly go away.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/7UGqjml.png[/img]
MEMORIAL
Description: You have 10 seconds to remember all of the elements on a map before they're hidden from you. Where's the cheese, what's safe to step on?
Maps: Maps must be based on the following XML, but the plank removed before it's exported. http://pastebin.com/6g5zrEGu


[img]http://i.imgur.com/D8trB9W.png[/img]
DEUX
Description: A remake of the old Deux minigame by Holz. The shaman can place an arrow anywhere on the map to spawn a cloud, but they can only have two at any time! Shamans in hard mode only get a single cloud!
Maps must make good use of the clouds, pose a challenge and it's better if it makes both the shaman and mice work for the cheese.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/BqaFEcl.png[/img]
ANGRY MICE
Description: A witty test of angles and power, this remake of Angry Birds makes you decide the angle you'll fire at, before holding down the space bar to decide how powerful you'll be slung.
Maps for Angry Mice aren't currently being accepted.


[img]http://i.imgur.com/DNiIpCJ.png[/img]
SPAWNZONES
Description: The shaman here can only spawn objects inside the highlighted areas, forcing them to be creative with their building.
The colour for highlighted grounds is #838DAE. Include the following information about which grounds people can spawn in. {x,y,width,height} An example submission is below.
@4211005 {140,180,80,320}, {660,180,80,320}
