Download Deathball V2.4q (57MB)
Changes
Gameplay:
-Whilst powering up a shot the gun starts to shake the harder you power. The gun also pulls up a bit when you release the ball.
-Firing very hard shots kicks you back a bit (can also be abused as selfboost :D)
-Shaking effect lowered a bit (96000 -> 80000)
-Ball no more sticking to wall, without being able to touch it (thanks to Noko for showing how to reproduce it)
-Added level design option to spawn the reseted ball at the enemy goal (see map changes). It will be untouchable by the reseting team for 5 seconds (a bar indicates this). It can also spawn in the penalty box after the kick off.
-Ball works properly with blocking volumes again (for example causes no more annoying deflecting from the walls in November)
-Reduced self-volley power by 200 more units (a full power shot has 3100)
-Default keeper hold time 4 seconds
Other:
-Text to speech fixes (for example "mb" is now "my bad" and not "megabytes" anymore; characters like !?-_<> and others are being ignored now) - requires to delete your old deathballuser.ini to take effect
-Bottom Radar: All new Icons, Keeper has it's own icon. You see when someone locks you.
-Middle Radar: Keepers appear orange. You see when someone locks you. Ball carrier direction showing at the border (only ball direction was showing before) as requested by HimbiJimmy
-Fixed menu option for "menu music"
-Firetrail and ball sparkle now appear in replays
-Replays smoother
-Maybe fixed server crashing after replays matches. Please report if it happens!
Maps:
-Added DB-Smallplatform, made for 3on3 (DB-Platform for 4on4-6on6 will mostly likely be made too...the same, just bigger)
-Readded DB-Curve, DB-Tribun, DB-Blocko
-DB-Smallcube: Ball resets to enemy penalty box and starts there after a goal
-DB-Cube, DB-November, DB-Echo: Ball resets to enemy penalty box when it's shot out of the field
-DB-November - Can't duck on enemy goal to score anymore, New Goals
-DB-SmallcubeSE - Added Reverb, New Goals, New Roof
Bugs:
-Occasionally goals don't count (tell us if you have it or if you know how to reproduce; probably has something to do with the new ball spawning)
-Sometimes one spectator camera on DB-Smallplatform is being weird
-I'll update the side-platforms on DB-Smallplatform next version
-2nd ball might show thru in replays sometimes (please tell us if you can reproduce it)
-Sometimes you see no radars and need to restart Deathball to fix it
-Bots are not yet working properly with 2.4 (they still play with 2.3 logic and fail big time)
-Match time sometimes wrong at the end
-DB-Blocko and DB-Tribun too bright
-DB-Blocko has a reset bug
-Ball once got stuck in the air and nobody could pick it up, nor did it reset
-Radar-Locks don't work everywhere

Good job.
Deathball is a bit more lively at the moment, community is more active, new version with some cool new features just come out, not to mention the old maps are back (yay). Quite a few new faces in pubs. This is great!
Long live Deathball!

Maybe your monitor is calibrated incorrectly Dom.

It's my job to get all maps on the same brightness level. So given the fact smallcubese is good, all other maps have to be lit as bright/dark as this one.
posted by 21:39:31h 25.02.2007
are you sure you didn't alter smallcubese ? i can't see ! :P
but seriously on SmallCubeSE, those panes of glass above the red goal need to be less white/bright... it makes it hard to see...

It's true though.
If you don't like Firefox try Opera, SeaMonkey or K-meleon.
