Just wanted to create a thread were people can post their Mods for other people to utilize. We have some impressive talent here that lack the bandwidth to serve a few games with their mods, so I wanted to provide a place where a person with basic dedicated-server knowledge could scoop up a mod or two for his/her server for others to play. I know -z- intends to create a MODS section of PTT for people to post and download mods, but this thread can act as an interim solution until he completes it.

Those of you with fine pieces of work, just post the mod wherever you can find a little web-space, and then just give a couple lines of instructions on where the files go. Then us with bandwidth can scoop them up and plug 'em into the TT universe! If needed, I have some web-space I can donate to the cause. Just drop me a note at the "Post Your MODS!" thread if your creation needs a home.

Please, only post Mods that are ready to be played. I don't want proposed announcements, general modding how-to's, or mod requests. I just want a list of good mods for others to utilize. Thanks!

It's time for a little variety!

Here's my simple, but fun contribution to modding... Again: thanks to -z- and his mod wizard. I remeber that a bunch of us had a great time with it a couple months ago.... I may start running it again from time to time. Anyone else is welcome to run it, mod it, whatever.

Go here to download the Omaha Beach MOD. After unzipping, the file goes where all the other "mis" files go. You'll need to run it as a dedicated server, ombeach. If you have trouble getting the file, email me @ lc50tank@yahoo.com.

The Omaha Beach MOD is a simple TEAM BATTLEMODE mod of Medulla Mesa, with a German fortress (Green team) being attacked by Allies (Blue team). There’s no beach/water per se, but the concept is similar: a well-sheltered force with a commanding field position being attacked by a force with no/little cover.

Blue team spawns out in the middle of the plain, with minimal cover approaching the enemy base. If they loaf too long, they become easy targets for the green team sniper positions in the fortress. Powerups are scattered through map, but green team has the best access to them within their own base.

There are only two openings in which to enter the base, although there are a number of ways out for green team light tanks, which can hop the barriers if they ramp off the edge of the hill. The third way into the base is the most fun: a jump pad/arrow pad device in the middle of the map that launches tanks behind enemy lines into the base (parachute drop!). This adds the element of surprise, but can be deadly if green team is set up in the correct position.

This mod takes Team Battlemode to a more organized level; a little more strategy and team coordination is necessary. It’s been fun to design, and a bunch of us battlemoders have had a good time with it lately. Thanks to –z- for the ModWizard, which was used to easily build this mod.

Have fun,

You know what I would like to get my hands on for the very near future? The script for cycling 12 maps. IF and I repeat, IF things work out, the IRS will be buying a pc that I was planning on running ded 24/7. Don't hold your breath yet, things have a way of changing drastically this year in a matter of seconds. If it falls through, well I can just give up this machine and play on my wifes til she gets home. ACA is currently working on maps that I was planning to incorporate, and I was gonna mess with a few myself. But I am a real newbie at this so any and all help is appreciated. Dont open which file? Oh I already did.

@Hatter: -z- describes how to make a dedicated server cycle through the original 12 maps. The solution? Replace the original 12 maps. However, your solo games will be toast. I don't care since I never play solo anyway.

Now, I do believe that question belongs in a different thread. I was pretty specific about what posts I want to see here. Please create a new thread and post your question there.

@LC50: Thanks for your post! Keep 'em coming!

You can cycle more than 12. It's hard, but not too hard. I will have a tutorial soon.
