If you have been around lately, I have been hosting CTB V 1.0, but now it's time for 2.0. When CTB 1 was first made, scripting was new to the modding scene, and now those scripts are outdated, and well, "ameteurish". ;)

Now, it's time for something better. Capture the Base 2.

 

 

Rules are the same. CTB is an all-out hellfury of tanks in a frantic race to conquer the base. This is a simple concept; try to be the only one in the base. Do all that's necessary to exterminate the other players. Why? Cause the're scoring for being in there, and you sure don't want that. YOU want the most points, don't you?

 

 

In CTB 1, bases were round, composed of some rocks or trees all shoved together. In CTB 2 however, the bases may be big, small, any size or shape at all. Maybe a large star, or a dome. CTB 2 will contain custom objects modelled by myself, and maybe even others who want to submit their work. For example, a level may be completely flat, but be in an arena-style setting.

 

 

I love the smell of a photonic laser eating away at a tank in the morning!

Weapons will consist of all the usuals, along with some special uber-weapons. I will try to balance them, so they are "uber" cause of how they look... I guess. Powerups will be scattered all over the level this time, rather than in a corner. So now, you can jump right in and play!

 

 

You got stuff you want included, send it over. If I like it, I will include it in CTB 2, along with your name in lights. You will get credit where credit is due. Email your stuff to me at nathan_gibney@yahoo.ca . However, I cannot ensure that everyone's submissions will be included in the first release of CTB2.

 

 

July 15, 2004 - CTB2 progress still moving along....

Despite appearances, CTB2 is still in the works, however no release date has been set. All we can say is that it WILL get done, you can be sure of that! ;)

July 10, 2004 - New features confirmed; announced by Ishbuu IBotI

Here is the list of new features confirmed by Ishbuu, our master scripter: ;)

When you leave the base scoring stops properly
No more cheating when you die, scoring turns off when you die
Purchasing system: You can purchase uber powerups and some other special items using a chat based system
Chat based tank changing: work just like -z-'s chat changers, die and respawn as what you asked for

July 9, 2004 - CTB2 obtains new partnership!

It's been settled yesterday, I will now be working with Ishbuu and Michael on CTB2. Hopefully this will open the doors to higher quality gameplay. This will also ensure that CTB2 will get done. Ishbuu gets mad when my mind wanders. :)

CTB 2 won't be possible without support. No, don't send me money, support by posting your comments, feedback, suggestions, rants, raves, or whatever you want to say. Just keep it on the topic of CTB 2.

Thanks!

Yea, I got it.
CTB won't be done for a while yet, we are doing some research and seeing what CAN be done, and what CAN'T be done. We want to make sure we deliver what's stated in the top post :)

K.

Um, what will the purchasing do? Will it be like /buy, then a menu will come up, then u will have to say the name of the weapon or /scroll to see more? Maybe you could have a special thing that when you get to the base, you get a crown to show that you're scoring, because this sounds a lot like king of the hill. Otherwise, it sounds perfect. :)
