Topic: [MOD] FlagBall

Edit:
This MOD is in no way related to the official teeworlds development; It's a private project of datag. Use binaries (and sources) posted in this thread at your own risk.

Hi there,

I've done a MOD called FlagBall. There are two goals and the strategy for the teams is to score with a ball (blue flag). This can be done by either throwing the ball into the goal (currently 50 points for the team) or by directly jumping with your tee into the goal (100 points for the team and 5 points for the tee; the tee will die). The MOD is a bit inspired by the UT2004(R) Bombing-Run Mode.

* with the Shoot-Button (mouse1) the ball will be thrown in the pointing direction
* with the Hook-Button (mouse2) it's possible to do a "direct-pass" to another player
* includes a simple Instagib-MOD, too

Maybe you've already played this MOD on our server ([FlagBall-MOD][Instagib], only running in the evening), it's really funny :-)

As a first test I've modified the map "lost" to fit the needs of FlagBall. But we need a new, good map which is pretty self-explaining for new players of this MOD. Here YOU come into action (if you like to). Who is willing to create a nice map?

Requirements for the map:
* it should be clear which goal belongs to which team (there should be colored-areas (red/blue))
* the goals should be cognizable as goals (maybe like a basket)
* a goal is simply a "DM spawn point", there have to be two of them of course. But: red team has always the be on the left, blue team has to be on the right (this is currently a restriction)
* medium size map
* green and sunny background (like map "lost")
* medium difficulty - not too easy but not too hard

If you are interested doing a map then please contact me via the email-form. If you've got questions or suggestions, then reply to this post.

Nice to hear that you like it. The map "lost" is a nice map for CTF, but for the FlagBall-Mod it is not really suitable.

Thanks, looks very nice! Unfortunately I'm unable to download it from http://uploaded.to/?id=xpa58p ; the server seems to be heavily overloaded. Could you please upload it somewhere else or send it via mail to me?

Thanks, it worked. It's a really nice map, but it's too easy to score a goal by jumping into it. Maybe I'll try to do a map on my own. Thanks anyway! (But I'm looking forward to your new map :-) )

Re: [MOD] FlagBall

So, finally I got my ass up and made a map by myself (fb_teamplay) :-) Enjoy playing FlagBall!
Thanks to Marik16 for this efforts, I'll use his map time to time.

Sure, you can download the current version (0.1.2) at
https://dominik.is-a-geek.org/tmp/fb_teamplay.map

But as you already mentioned the map is very norrow... maybe there is some rework needed.

No, I used the default tiles. The goal itself is a 3-way shadow of the game-tiles. and behind it is a quad, which has a simple color gradient (red/blue).

Re: [MOD] FlagBall

We still need some good maps. Currently we are using fb_teamplay and fb_lost in map rotation, but it would be nice to have some more. Who wants to build some?

Re: [MOD] FlagBall

As requested here is the link to the fb_lost map. It's a modification of the great map "lost" to fit the needs for FlagBall.

Download: fb_lost.map

Nice to hear that people are interested in it. No, not yet. But I can do.

Marik16 wrote:

The MOD is "finished" since a week, I only do bugfixing atm. So I have no problem with releasing my work.

Who would like to build binaries? I will just provide the patch-file.

Edit: Maybe I'll release the MOD this evening...

The instagib mode can be configured in config file, thus you can play with normal weapons as well. I will attach a small README file which explains all config-values.

Thank you very much. The screenshot looks nice to me smile I will try it this evening.

Edit:
I tried the map, I like it. Could you please change these:
* Remove the second red-flag (game won't start with 3 flags)
* Make the buttom-goal tile not repeated into the ground (don't place it at the maps border to prevent this)
* Add each a DM-spawn-point into the goal (you may take a look at fb_teamplay.map)

I'm looking forward to your modification (and using it on our FlagBall server in map-rotation)!

This is the release of my MOD FlagBall 0.1.9 provided as a patch-file (diff-file). Some parts of the (modified) code looks a bit ugly, this may be fixed in future. The goals itself are simple DM-spawn-points in the map (not tiles like in Homing-MOD or Handball-MOD) for some reason.

Re: [MOD] FlagBall

Hey, thanks a lot for releasing the patch. I would like to make this into a 'Tag Mod' if you don't mind.
