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.


(Lanz) #5

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
