Have fun!

nice mod, i love bombing run in ut :} thanks!
Flag throw imo should be a bit stronger.

I chose the default value warily by evaluating several test-games - nobody complained so far. If you run your own server you can set the velocity to a value which fits your needs. But please tell the players that your server is running non-FlagBall defaults.

i've discovered it !
it should be "sv_fb_instagib" instead of "sv_instagib"
thank for zero help...

ok, sry, it wasn't seriously

is it possible to download the map fb_sandstorm ? it is on few servers, ... i haven't found it anywhere
thx

Search for Flagball in 0.5.1, there should be one server containing Sandstorm in its rotation.

Thanks

It should.
Look in the config directory under "downloadedmaps".

I have updated the flagball mod to version 1.16-beta. Here is the changelog from 1.15:

-- Direct pass is fixed.
Now the flag carrier has to actually hook the other player to pass the flag. In previous versions all what was neccessary is to aim and press the hook button. Now the hook has to actually reach the player thus introducing a small delay. As a bonus, the hook sound was added for that case.

-- It is now possible to grab free ball by hook (sv_fb_hook_ball option).
For some reason, the ball center is not in the center of the flag image but in its lower left corner and the ball radius is rather small --- 14 units --- about quarter of the height of the default flag image. That makes it hard to hook the ball because you need to aim right in the lower end of the stick. In order to compensate this three new server options were implemented:

sv_fb_ball_radius --- default is 32,
sv_fb_ball_offset_x and sv_fb_ball_offset_y --- offset of the ball hook center from its original center in the usual Cartesian coordinate system. Default values are zero.

As soon as suitable values for these options will be established and overall game performance will be tested, I'll release version 1.16. Maybe I'll exclude these options from config file then.

Have fun playing Flagball 1.6
Special thanks to Jini!

Yet another update to fulfill yet another request. Here is the changelog from the 1.16-beta:

-- Direct pass fixed again.
Due to the changes introduced in 1.16-beta, when the player is hooking another player and being passed a flag, the flag immidiately goes to the player being hooked. It's arguable whether this is wrong or right, but we decided to disallow this. If you have a different opinion, say it and I'll probably make it an option. It shouldn't considerably influence on the gameplay anyway.

-- Ball radius and offset have been assigned saner values.
Radius is now 40, offset is (0, 38). Thus the hook center is approximately in the center of the default flag image and the ball diameter is approximately equal to image height. I'm afraid that such a big radius makes it too easy to grab the flag, so I've left the possibility to change these values in the config.

-- Ball hook center offset couldn't be changed from console. Fixed.

-- Now idling players can be forced to join spectators rather than kicked.
This is covered by the server string option sv_fb_on_idle:

sv_fb_on_idle kick          --- kick idling players
sv_fb_on_idle spectate      --- force them to join spectators
sv_fb_on_idle anyothervalue --- leave alone (default)

sv_fb_idle_kick option was renamed to sv_fb_idle_time
