yehaw, multiball!

OMG what a good news.
If really Briley is out and if TV is not allowed to use his models anymore, the best way is the DEF UT2k4 skins as long as u can't get a modeler who can make a better job then Briley and bring it to the end (customization and female model at least).

GO for 2k4 default skins in the while i'm sure ppl will love the possibility to chose between more than 30 models \skins

Haha, that multiball looks like ultimate chaos.
<insert random thought>
You could even add a 2 ball game where each team gets his own special ball, and can only score a goal with there own ball.

Also, I don't know if anyone else dislikes it, and its kinda minor. But I dislike the fact that a goal message sometimes takes up more then 1 line. And that at 1280*1024. I, being the stats whore I am, always look for the ball speed and get desorientated if its suddenly on the next lline. Yup, its really a minor thing.

i agree with Fragger (and) the keep catch radius is a tad too small, so who ever mentioned 'magnet'

please die

as for the multi balls, and default skins would work until a new designer comes along i suppose :p

make screenshot with 1000 balls kthx

Also is the ball pickup bug going to be fixed? (That is, if it is a bug)

For example: I dodge out and kill an attacker, he drops the ball. I cannot pick the ball up unless I exit the pickup radius and re-enter it. Same all over the field with every one. I notice it most when im keeping and the sweepers kill a player and cannot pick the ball up so the next attacker gets a volley in


Maybe its because when the ball drops the ball thinks its being held as there is someone already in its pickup radius?

relik, I believe the variable-curve never made out ouy of the 1.5 beta.

I agree. :p

Magnet is awful right now. The whole pickup procedure needs to get fixed up. So we spend some time with that anyway.

Pickup problem will be fixed...in a way that you can sorta dribble.
Imagine you hold altfire and you keep pushing the ball in ahead of you when you walk against it. So no more walking through the ball. This is also because of multiball. Because when you have 1 ball and you run to another ball (thats lying still) you run through it atm. You will be able to dribble the other one. Some freaks might be able to do some cool things with that
Normally balls that come flying at you (and you already have one) will deflect (not bounce).
I agree to disagree with the 2 different ball game. Sounds like a crap idea. Having a useless ball sounds bad. When you get it, you just try to hog it.....I see an awful gameplay coming there. nono...

Regarding Bretts models, I am not going to spend the time removing his models from Deathball. Once a mod member contributes his stuff to the mod it becomes part of the mod and thus Team Vortex property. There is no way we are going to remove anyones stuff from the mod just becuase later on he falls out with the mod.

We have considerable code in the mod regarding that model and I am not going to spend hard work screwing up the code to go backwards.

We aren't cheating on him anyway (and I never did), he gets all money that's due.

I know, all been there for years, just never had time to do it. And now we are forced to do it.

Well in this case, i hope someone is also working to make them Customizable, becouse it's so boring we have all to play with the same model\skin. Monotonus

bug Robert, he keeps saying for weeks that it's almost done
