Q ball

[Wolv]

Is DM3 the only QBall enabled map? QBall is too addicting. Custom maps would be awesome, but that may be asking a bit much.

[JeSuS]

atleast some updated maps for qball.. and JOE GET QBALL ON SPEAKNOW ASAP

[Stung]

PLEASE PUHLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Put this on Speaknow....it's so awesome.

[Stung]

Yeah I'm gonna post right after myself but really it was the best game of any quake I've played in years. So god damned awesome.

Also yeah I agree more maps. COULD just somehow script the 'bases' to be like they were in 3wave, then have the ball at closest to dead center of the map

[R00k]

no actually the default map for qball is e1m2.
Are u meaning QBALL or CAx submode, speedball?

I wrote both so no need for .vs

Any server operators need an updated mod, reply ill code anything for a dime

[Souless]

They are talking about speedball.

[Wolv]

Yeah, speedball.

[eieio]

is this the mod with the globe thing? i couldnt figure out the objective. how do you play?

[Efess]

So this isn't on Speaknow? Doesn't Rage have the same CAx that's on Speaknow?

[f-7]

yah its on rage.
qball was also a great mod.. Qball in e1m2 was soo fun

[Disco]

i guess it was fun to play but i had no idea what was going on. I was just playing like FFA mode trying to cause as much damage as possible. I saw the ball a few times but nothing happened when i walked over it. I wasnt about to put any more thought into it if you cant just walk over it and pick it up.


I also had no clue what to do with the ball or what the objectives are.

[f-7]

you have a tough time in real life situations dont you disco?
like, playing sports.. figuring them out must be hell.

[monoz]

wth is speedball

[Efess]

Rook, what do I need to get this working on speaknow? new progs? config setting?

Version 1.90 has speedball.
The premise based on original Qball rules where as u must weild the axe to hold the ball, disallowing you to arm your weapon. Though, while carrying the ball you gain health. The objective with the ball is like football or rugby. You need to carry the ball to the opponent's goal. after which, everyone respawns, and the ball drops to the middle of the map. Unlike CA though, as players die they respawn in 5 seconds full health. The round only ends when one team scores. Like CA, there are best of 9 rounds.
PZ made a made just for speedball. Which is a blast with 4 on 4. grab the map at www.quakeone.com/qrack/maps/pz.bsp


to start up speedball mode just type speedball in the console on any 1.90 CAx server.

Also a tip for the new players,there are a few things to learn, like how to chunk the ball to a team mate.
To drop the ball simply select the AXE "impulse 1" key while holding the ball and it will toss where u aim. But, if you JUMP or +ATTACK using the axe and press "impulse 1" the ball shoots out x3 the speed. Kinda feels like taking a 3 pointer in basketball.
