Looks good. Sounds great.

Keep on doing the good work.

Thanks :slight_smile:


(sniser) #4

Nice going! The site looks slick, too… does one have to download it, or just connect to a server and have it auto-downloaded?


(Lanz) #5

:slight_smile:

Auto-download should work. But a 15 meg download.

question: I will setup this mod on a server. How Can I do that?


(seven_dc) #7

There is info on the site about that, in docs.

http://www.rtcw-tf.co.uk/powerball/docs.html

So you want to set up a server, here’s the important settings of the mod. Start the mod with the following switches; et +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game powerball. You need to add switches for config files, ports etc but better guides on how to run a server is already out there so I’m not goning to comment on it.

A couple of cvars is avaliable to:

g_scorelimit: default 0. Set to the score needed to win the round. Observe thouh that for now, if timelimit is reached the team with the highest score wins or if equal the first team to score.

g_intermissionTime: default 60 sec. How long the intermission (the end screen) will last before moving on to next map/round.

hmm yeah there might be something I’ve done with the config strings, but to actually find it I need as much info about error messages as possible or anything you can provide me with. Logging to disk would be a good start (/logfile 1). Demos anything.


(SoH|KiLLeR) #14

Wrealy nice work Lance !! Maps are great !! It’s wrealy fun game , but it isn’t many servers runing on theace mod :frowning:


(Berzerkr) #15

Yes, I know only three servers running this mod:

217.160.182.6:27960
193.201.52.104:27962
217.160.188.190:27971


(Lanz) #16

I know a few more:

213.219.124.3:27960
213.230.203.180:27917
195.177.220.125:27960
193.201.52.104:27962
217.160.188.190:27971
217.160.182.6:27960
62.24.64.74:27990
65.164.137.178:27960
153.19.210.239:27960

Tbh I think it’s going as good as you can expect from a new mod like this. I’m happy at least, always some server to play on and have had a lot of fun so far myself. :slight_smile:

New version 0.2a released fixing a Client Command Overflow bug.

Get it here:
http://www.rtcw-tf.co.uk/powerball/

ps. Just so you guys dont do the same stupid mistake as I did;

I did a trap_SendClientCommand("command
") <- notice the trailing

That made the client crash out with a overflow message. Well it must have been that. I’ve rewritten the code completely and solved it differently now not using commands any longer anyway.


(fattakin) #18

Another 15mb download??? Doh my 150k stinks


(Cartman) #19

15mb? no, 2,97mb I thought

@Lanz:
mirror :wink:


(Lanz) #20

Yep the patch is quite small but there’s a full version for it too.

Thanks for the mirror Cartman. :drink:
