ET Domination Release


(SkyD) #1

You’ve seen the interview now is the time to play the game for yourself! Tonight is the long awaited release of ET: Domination, The Powerball and CTF Mod for Enemy Territory.

You may remember early last year a mod was released by Lanz called Powerball. The objective is to pick up the ball from the middle of the arena and score it in your opponents goal. Whilst you are carrying the ball you can’t fire your weapon but you can fire the ball in the direction you are facing.

Now a year on, the mod has finally been updated under the new name of ET: Domination and now features Capture the Flag.

About the mod…

Powerball is a modification to Enemy Territory. The game is played with two teams and both fight for controll of one single ball on the map, you can pass it to team mates and enemies. The objective is to take the ball to the enemy goal and score it. This can be done in two ways, etheir by throwing it in the goal which gives you and your team 3 points, or by walking through the goal and get 7 points.

While you are holding the ball, you can’t fire any gun, you throw the ball with the same key as you fire. After you have thrown the ball you can’t fire for 500ms.

A new hud is developed, and not as cluttered as the usual one, it also show the score between the two teams in the top right corner. The game is all about fast fun action, that needs a lot of team work to do good in it. In some ways, this mod is similar to reverse CTF, if you’ve ever played that.

The second game type is Capture the Flag and plays in much the same way as CTF on other platforms. But now featuring intelligence scoring for assists and base defences the game has been taken to a new level.

I don’t think this mod will make you disapointed if you tired a bit on or need a change from the 30 minutes never ending game modes in vanilla ET.

There should also be a shoutcast with h20xygen & SkyD from #PG-Radio

At first sight, it’s enjoyable but still buggy


(Sauron|EFG) #3

Yes, some really serious bugs (like sometimes being able to file complaints on enemies!) but fast, furious and fun!

Downloaded, won alot, and loved it.

Patch will come in a few days, despite four internal test versions being extensively played I never saw that bug. I feel like refering to Murphy’s law here but I wont. The team bug only affects Allies and only in PB games and happens when you get a goal defense bonus.

Anyway, nice to see that you enjoyed it and I hope you have fun playing it. :slight_smile:

Some bugs but still great fun to play, I love this mod! Must play when I get home tonight again! :]

Btw Loffy you’re a good goalkeeper :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi eRRoLfLyNN!
I must say, this was genuinely fun. So many new ingridients (or however it is spelled), i.e. standing as a goalkeeper trying to catch that flying ball.
Once we were defending, on that snow map. One louse enemy medic had remained near our base (and near his goal). We were advancing uphill, away from him. One of us, it might have been me, dropped the ball - it rolled backwards!, downhill, really fast! (darn it, that ball can really fly sometimes!)… towards the enemy medic (who almost scored). Amazing how fast the game can switch from attack to defence.
This mod, DOMINATION, and Gerbil’s LOTR maps are the most thrilling projects at the moment.

lol at loffy - always excitable!! Anyway yeah it was great fun and hope to get a few more hours under my belt tonight. Defending lol dont thgink i ever tried that!

What i hope to see is people doing attacking runs, passing the ball to each other like footballers, 1-2’s etc… that would be the shiznit!

Does the mod developer (lanz?) have a homepage for this project?

Thx. Det Ã¥skar i Göteborg…


(Lanz) #15

Ja det kan man ju lungt säga att det gör. :eek:


(Sauron|EFG) #16

It’s over now though.


(MindgamE) #17

I’m still wondering how you get a rotation going for all the dom_ maps.


(Lanz) #18

Look at the objectivecycle.cfg in your etmain folder, that’s how you do it. But use gametype 6 (PB) or 7 (CTF) instead of 2 as in that one.
