News update 5/7/06

______________________________________

We have been having an absolute BLAST playing team scrum on some new Mods. Come join us. All you need is to pre-download the terrain files, and you won't have to wait at all to join the game!

I have consolidated many of the Mod terrain files into convenient downloads for you. I will continue to keep this updated until one day maybe -z- will have the opportunity to add this to his Resources section.

TT Mod Pack®!!
Download the 'Official' TT_Mod_Pack® Here!! UPDATED 4/18/06 (38 Mb)
This contains all the mods created up until 5/1/06 (MonkeeMods, CrapBlasterMods, dashMods, RacerMods, TrivoxMods, RoosterMods, NapalmMods, KillinBrainCellMods, ScytheManMods, PharmaceuticalsMods and much much more).
Latest addition: This folder is now static and will not be updated. If you downloaded this Mod_Pack as of 4/18/06 you do not need to get it again.

MOD UPDATES! Here are the more recent mods created after the main TT_Mod_Pack® was frozen. mods_since_5_1_06.zip (1 Mb). Updated: 12/10/06
Latest addition: Roo's newest set: Rstr44.ter - Rstr50.ter.

These are the same files as in my previous thread , but I wanted to give this thread a more recognizable name.

Instructions for Installing the Mod Packs

1. Download the above.zip file to your desktop and unzip. You will have a folder of terrain files (that end in.ter).

2. Locate the ThinkTanks® application on your computer.

3. Control click on the ThinkTanks® application icon.

4. Select "Show Package Contents" from the menu.

5. Navigate through the folders until you find the "Missions" folder.
Folder path is Contents/Resources/game/data/missions

6. Copy all the provided.ter files (e.g. MM_Lush01.ter, MM_Lush02.ter, etc) directly into the "Missions" folder. (In this folder you will also see files such as TT1_1.ter and TT1_2.ter. These are the original terrain files that came with the game. Do not delete or replace these files)

7. If ThinkTanks® is already open then quit and restart it.

ENJOY!!!

Updates folder now updated with 3 of GQ's mods: Devil's wasteland, Hidden Hills, Sunset Scrum.

Updates folder updated with fixit's LunarWalk.ter

Okay ive tried everything and everything I do just doesnt work. I downloaded the mod pack...and then did nothing cuz im pretty clueless and I really need to get that pack in so does anyone have idiot instructions or knows how to help me becuase I really need serious help. I would also like some help with the ignore code too and anything else you recommend and I have AIM so communications not a problem.

SOMEONE HELP!

Download the mod pack, unzip it using winzip or winrar which can be downloaded at http://www.download.com . The instructions are in there or so I think... Also download the recent mods.

Now updated with Rstr17.ter!

Sorry folks
I just couldnt stop myself
I know there are so many good maps out there now
but I was jsut messing around in torque and well.........
the terrain looked to sweet to go unfinished
Enjoy "Prairie Dog" (Rstr17)
up on my server for the next 2 weeks

Momentary problem with syncing my iDisk has been fixed! Rstr17.ter should be in there now.

Always knew the Rooster could never resist. ;)

Cracked Ice.ter by Joe Stevens has been added to updates folder.

Pack update from the Rooster! Condors cliffs(Rstr18) & Mennonite Meadows(Rstr19) added.

The Crazy Bird has done it again! Updates folder has been updated with Rstr20.ter!

Every really good known modder on PTT and TT should make 1 big mod pack. It'll take like 3 hrs but has 5,000 mods and 3,000 shapes. That would be cool... :)

^ Are you kidding me? You're saying that in the very thread with Reagent X's Mod Pack, which has all the mods. Also, in the header, it gives a link to the XPack4, with all the shapes. Next time, please do some reading before posting. :(

All hail "The Crazy Bird"

-Rx loks like a crazy candy cane to me lolololol :) :) :) :P B)

Next week I have a special treat
Not only will this be a all new rotation of brand spankin' new maps but

B*D*SS BADLANDS(Rstr26) <------tribute map with 8 airgoals

Sweet! 7 new maps from the chicken! Thanks Roo.

Theres a one minute download in Rootbeer Float
Wait for the vanilla icecream rocks

Updates folder updated with Sheena's Simba.ter & BB52.ter.

Need some new mods to keep this thread on the first page. Until then, BUMP

@ Jedi
Well I could just submit a map every week - that would do it

@ all
Havent been playing much - in fact had 2 games today - first time I played in 2 weeks
Forgot how much fun a packed server of vets can really be......
But I havent forsaken the community - I have been modding
I have 5 completed and in testing
When I reach 10 I will ask Rx to upload them for everyone and parley a new rotation
In the mean time Roos ScruMODz still rotates 10 different missions every week

^ No no, you don't need to enter one every week. Your current plan works just fine. ;)

However, other modders out there should be working too... XD (No offense meant to anyone with that comment. Goodness knows I could never make a decent mod.)

Updates folder updates with: Sheena's PerfectStorm.ter

Hi all
New maps in testing........
1 Guillotine Gully
2 Coyote Canyon
3 Monolith Mountain
4 Snowbound Summit
5 Homogenous Hills
6 Longitude Landing
7 Camouflage Crevice
8 African Arroyo

Will debut Oct 20th
For a list of retired RooMODz check the "Vote for you Fav Roo" in General
That is all

^ Let me know when you are ready to release themto the Mod_Pack.

Very cooool Roo ;) and also thanks to yah Sheena.

@ Rx
Seems I forgot to mention that in the email
Yes plz do upload them and as always Thanks so much for the MOD PACK

@all testing is complete I need to make a minor adjustment to 2 missions and will then provide
a preview server. Besides XPACK4 there is one "new" rock series and 2 repaired skies
The sky repairs were minor things and should only take a few seconds to download
As for the rock series it may take a minute or two...........Thanks for your patience
I will rotate them in for next week - starting Sat Oct 21st

^ Okie Dokie!

Updates folder now contains Roo's newest set: Rstr28.ter - Rstr35.ter.

Hey tanks Reag
Striving for more PSL friendly creations
Increased size with sloping egdes where possible
Just enough arrows to maintain a high level of accessibility etc
Thanks again

Whither the Monk?

Bump it

XD

Coming soon
8 more roomodz
They are in the TT stage
Testing and Tweaking
Still using the improved format as the last series
Map size now 15x15 (thats driving time in seconds)
Sloping sides where possible
With the ususal evenly spaced and balanced spawns
and 6 intentional tricks per map
No new objects beyond the XPACK4 - so once I send Rx the maps
you should get right in

@Tally - btw took your suggestion and toned down the brightness on Homogeneous Hills
You may now remove the shades

Good job Roo..BTW can you also make a racing track?
Just asking..Thanks

Made one a while back Teik
Its called Chicken Run
hehe
Maybe I should send that map in for the MOD PACK
hmmm
only hosted it briefly
lemme think about it

Cool name for a race track eh XD
Please do send it Roo..
Thanks for your reconsideration.. ;)
