I made this last month to host on my server, but then my wifi on my laptop died, so my server was down. But, it's back up again, so I'm going to host this target practice mode I made(it will be on a server called "Target Practice" lol).
The sole purpose was to have a moving target that people could shoot at to work on aim and weapon switching OUTSIDE of battling. It's probably useless to experienced players, but it's not bad for people learning the weapon basics or just honing their aim/switching a bit.
Basically, it's a tdm, bots vs humans. The bots won't fight, and starting health/armor is 199/199. The bot AI has been tweaked so that they will bunny hop constantly(see in instructions below), and it uses a different bots.txt called targetBots.txt that gives the bots goofy names that are fitting of the game mode. The "most weapons" weaponarena mutator is on, and all team and self damage are off.
Stat tracking SHOULD be off. If someone that knows how that works could double check for me I'd appreciate it, but as far as I can tell, it's off.
Here are the instructions(can be found in the readme.txt as well):
Here's the download link. Simply place in Xonotic/data folder and follow the instructions. Anyone who wants to use this in a server should feel free to do so.
I'll also attach the targetpractice.cfg(or rather targetpractice.txt since I can't attach a cfg file here)so anyone can review it without downloading.
Update: I've added a new game mode made specifically for practicing juggling and weapon combos named Combo Practice. The bots do not move and have 999/999 health/armor. Otherwise, it's the same settings as target practice.
It is already included in the TargetPractice.pk3, and the link has been updated with the new version. To execute type "exec combopractice.cfg", and to disable type "exec combopracticeoff.cfg" and then "exec balanceXonotic.cfg" (this info can also be found in the readme file). It's available on my server through voting. The server is currently configured to only allow votes for target practice and combo practice.

Here are the instructions(can be found in the readme.txt as well):
readme.txt Wrote:To execute target practice, type "exec targetpractice.cfg" into the console.
To revert back to stock Xonotic play, type "exec balanceXonotic.cfg" into the console, then "exec targetpracticeoff.cfg".
(Some parameters may need to be adjusted based on personal preference, such as the server messages and bot prefix)
If you want the bots to bunny hop more frequently, type "exec botTweaks.cfg". Bot AI will be restored to the regular setting upon server restart.
