The website is back up with some notes from one of the devs saying future updates to this mod are in progress - LINK.

Also, a fan has made a start on creating some waypoints for BOT play. I haven't looked at these myself yet but here's the thread - LINK.



I'll be setting up a TCE v0.49b server soon, contact me if you wish to be involved in testing..

Baserace overview

Its a race, to build your base! Steal Construction Materials from your enemy's base and secure them at the various 'Capture Pads' located in your team's base. Different capture pads correspond to different base constructions and upgrades. Capture Pads can be used multiple times to upgrade constructions. Additionally, constructions can be 'synergized' by completing combinations of other constructions. The first team to complete 40 constructions or have the most completed when the timer runs out wins!

• The original author of the scoreboard mod was RayBan for CTF Face (beta 1).
splashdamage.com/forums - CTF Face (beta 1)




• RayBan's scoreboard was adapted to Baserace by Daniel&Roland
splashdamage.com/forums - Baserace Final scoreboard

• This adaptaion was further editted to make the "commanding lead" image to show a 'greater than' symbol.

I've completed (and updated) the "How to install ET" page in the blog. I was contacted about this and the person was having problems with the 2.60b patch. Extra info on this patch has been added.

Details - Info, Links and Downloads -



Also, Fritz Bot ET mod is available for download - here -

In case you haven't noticed I'm moving all of the forum content over to the blog. I've decided to work on the Enemy Territory section next. It's the largest one to do and I was going to tackle it last but there have been some Fritz Bot mod updates over the last few months that I'd like to have a look at. The latest update is from TomTom. He's made a waypoint pack for the map Warehouse (final) by zig-zag. Details - here.

I'll be working on the ET section in groups. More details soon!

I've added a couple of new maps to the ET Pro server.

Tutorialjump 2 (///PALE)
This replaces the first version. Looks much better with greater options. I'm a trickjumping noob myself but it's there for others to use if desired.

SW Battery (eiM)
This is a modified version of the default ET map 'Seawall Battery'. It's been modified and set up for Stopwatch play. Here are the changes:

- Allies Beach Spawns outside of water
- Bunker MG is now dynamitible door which leads to bunkers back
- Axis Bunker Spawn is set back a bit
- Axis Spawn at Commandpost until Allies built it
- Backdoor is blowable
- Spawntimes 30/20
- Made some doors wider (bunkerstage)
- fixxed "wallhack" leak at backdoor
- CP Spawn for allies
- Maptime 12
- removed railings
- removed several details due to low fps
- added 2nd way into controls bunker
- added wooden constructible backdoor barrier
- little hole at west bunker for axis to defend the Bunker Door

Both maps are downloadable from the server at high speeds.
Alternatively, maps can be downloaded from - here -


I'll be running SW Battery on my test server for the next few days.

I've set up a map-cycle to give the FritzBots a good run on some of the recent waypoint packs released.

Tuesday night from 8:30pm 22-July-08

The Port
Bremen
Crevasse
Darji 2
Bridges
CAHA Tavern
Glider 3
Venice

Once ET is fully patched, all you need to do is download the FritzBot mod... the maps and waypoint packs are all downloadable from the server (fast downloads).


nedET FritzBot details - here -

420Blunt has made a playable version 1 waypoint pack for Rail Gun! Due to the mod not being finished, this map has eluded waypointers for quite some time. It plays OK but needs feedback... it's a 'work in progress'. Contact me with feedback or post on the official FritzBot forum - link.

TomTom has updated his Glider 3 pack to version 0.05
-improved CP use
-better balancing
-note: island spawn still not being used (for now)


Both updates are now on the server. There have been quite a few new things happening with FrtitzBot support recently so a full night of play testing is coming soon!
