Can you post some more on the powerball mod?
Without knowing what it is I can’t say I’d be interested :slight_smile:

(Ifurita) #4

What would be nice is a map-in-a-box_pb with all of the relevent powerball entities and scripts.

All map sources is available in the mod when you download it, also the def files etc. Just extract it from the pk3. Here’s a link to the mod: http://www.rtcw-tf.co.uk/powerball . There’s a forum on the site too where I would gladly help anyone needing more info or help making a map for it. :slight_smile:

atm are 4 maps in the mod (base, desert, hill & nr4.)

each is available as map-file.

pb_maps are very simpel, you need the new entity for the ball & 2 trigger zones for the goals of each team…so feel free to ask in lanz forum or directly there:

http://fidel.enemy-territory.info/forum/viewforum.php?f=17

if there are any problems we are also available at:

#fidels-place (q-net)
#gameinfobot (Q-net)

the knwon maps are all mirrored maps,
which is also sensefull, because of same ways for both teams.

i will post also 2 Powerball Servers, so that you cn take a look on the very funny gameplay…
its already known from UT Bombing run, but just in Enemy Territory.

more questions ?

just ask
