Suggestion

Hai

This has probably come up before, or there is probably a reason it hasn't been done but

Why not have some sort of assault course which would help newbies (ahem) train with volley's and boosting and so on.

I know there is the bot matches for single play but I mean literally a course for one player to do. Can have timer on how long it takes to complete.

Example :
Start off on some form of track ? and then have to volley to a certain point x times before moving on to ... moving around posts ... and end with scoring x goals and set points .. etc

Understand what I mean ?

Anyway was just a thought o/

romg i remember db-skill it was awesome, dunno if it will go well with 2.4 though

was like a skill course where you had to shoot the ball through a hoop, bounce a ball around a track, do long distance volleys and stuff...

Yeah see that's what I mean

I had a feeling it would have been done before already

Needs to come back then

as mentioned earlier, db-skill http://www.deathball.net/dbskill/ , probably still works, tho youll need someone who knows what to do/score it with you playing along

iv just cobbled together a simple map where you can ping the ball against different blocks/obstacles. it wont score things for you, but youll need to hit the current block to move onto the next one.

theres a couple of different areas, same premise in both just with different heights/distances/target sizes. oh, and one of them has some simple moving obstacles should you want them.

the map is not big, pretty or clever. but should work. should.

no screenshots since its only 249k and effort.

nah, its ok.

looking through the log files on your pc, it would seem it fell over due to you being defaulted onto the blue team

since theres only one (red) player start, it dies a death. You'd need to be have a preference for red, or none for it to work. You should probably set the number of bots to 0 too.

sorry for the confusion, but its not worth fixing a messabout map. thanks for the heads up tho
