[BETA] Addon Release Switch Flip

[_Lynx]

http://battousainet.dyndns.org:60080/~lynx/JBAddonReleaseSwitchFlip.zip

What it does: only one team's release switches can be active at one time. Release your own team, and the other release switch shuts down until your release is complete.

That's a beta - so, sorry, even no readme yet, just addon.

Feedback is highly appreciated!

I think this one only will be really useful in inverted-jail maps... (JB-Chrome...)
- Description is wrong, It says: If a match goes to overtime because of a tie...
- I say the same as with the other add-on: Add a visual thing around the switches; and an option to modify the blocking time would be nice too...

There's no blocking time - it's all straightforward. When the opposing team jail door is open, you can't release. Door closed - switch closes. But I need to add some anticamper mechanism.

How about using the same blocking graphic as for the Overtime Add-on?

AFAIK the idea is for these new add-ons to be included in the next release of Jailbreak 2004, so the resources can be shared in the JBToolbox package.

BTW, do you have CoreDev and CVS access, Lynx?

That's why I stopped working on that addon and decided to finish Overtime Last Chance first - they have much in common.

Nope.

BTW, when I understood that I'll need to use the same blocker class in both addons, I thought of creating a separate package containing that blocker. May be it can be added to JBToolbox?

Yup, I would say the blocker could be added to Toolbox -- ask Mych about CVS access.

You'll need to give the class a name that fits in with the others (see http://mychaeel.no-ip.com/jailbreak/Classes/JBToolbox) -- something like JBDecoSwitchBlocker.
