TWL Powerball Getting Ready!

We've put up a Powerball ladder for those who want to get their hands on the recent ET Domination mod in a more competitive setting.

Right now the rules are done, and we're going to be adopting the Global Domination config being used in ClanBase's cup. Quick rundown of the rules:

- 4 players a team
- 2 15 minute rounds, scored like you would traditional sports (sum of both rounds, rather than winning each round.)
- No heavy weapons, rifle nades
- No mines
- Randomly generated map

Unfortunately, in order to do two halves, you'll have to do some math to get the final score, and swap teams manually, since the mod won't carry on scores automatically. Hopefully, this shouldn't be too big of an issue.

The maps will be Base, Ruins, Desert, Depot, and Venice. The last 2 are custom maps, and can be previewed & downloaded from the author's site.

Wolken is another map I'm considering, however I don't want to overload the ladder with custom maps, but if there seems to be a consensus for Wolken, then I'd be more than willing to put it in.

I hope to be seeing you folks on the ladder soon, as this should be a fun addition to ET competition, and be on the lookout of the return of the admin team!

ET LIVES!

this should be fun

Schweet!! Got to play this a little on some pubs (even a few rounds with Lanz, great guy) and it should be hella fun for teams.

Developer's site is down, has been for a few days. Anybody know what's up there?

No clue, I'll try and find Lanz As if this ladder hasn't had enough trouble getting off the ground.

The site appears to be down, and I haven't been able to spot Lanz. If this ladder doesn't get some signups going soon, it's going to meet it's early grave

this is hilarious, almost a year ago now me and lanz tried to put together a powerball league and even had some teams interested, and finally there's a powerball league. and by the way, Lanz is a very busy guy and when he's on, he's only on for a few days at a time then he disappears for a month or so, it's sort of strange, but what do you expect, he lives in Switzerland

aheemmm i think your forgetting someone billa EEHHH

and tipoff too, i forgot about you, my bad...

Sooooo, what's the word on the site? I had actually replied to a request from Lanz to get a Mac programmer to port the Mod, but with the site down, it's not easy to encourage a person to get involved, ya know? Email me at the address in my Profile if ya like, to keep this thread clean.

wooo what up billa bong you beast. lol this powerball should be fun hope we get some teams to sign up.

This mod is fun and I encourage people to sign up, as its a nice vacation from the normal wear and tear of ET. Its also really fun to make up game plans and such, like a sport coach. Thanks for adding this league Sponge. #powerballerz

sponge you got my support here 100% as well. NOW SOMEONE FIND Lanz plz

alright... well if anyone needs the mod we have it and the patch for it here http://fmclan.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=6

but heres something kinda odd... i have the g_configdirectory set to "configs" and i have the twl config in there... but when i do a /ref config i dont get it in the list.. was there an update to the domination mod im unaware of.. or is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, you could always read up on it at the creator's forums...ohhhhh, waiiiit a sec.

Ro*t@He!!: Clanbase has a cup going, so I'm assuming they figured it out (I have the same problem) but with this mod seemingly unsupported, it's tough to get an answer

if there is a powerball ladder.. could you increase the ballvelocityscale.. noticed most people that have played in our server like it more at 1.4.. feels more like a throw than a underhand bobble butterfingery toss

Actually, the config has it LOWERED, otherwise you can throw the ball into the goal too easily with various tricks.

However, with the lack of participation, and the fact the mod has seemingly disappeared, this ladder probably won't see it's start

i am really out of the loop havnt played et in ages, can some1 please tell me why the ladder is locked? just trying to make ET fun again please let me know how to join up

powerball is dead :/
