Do you miss Gibball?

Zodiac? It's been on the BuD servers for like.. forever. except for the seizures I get from the visuals, I love it.

Unfortunately, the gibball doesn't trigger the gravityvol at all. If something can be done about that, it would be cool.

In Gibball news, I am still investigating why the ball seems to timeout at random. Also a ballgib that falls into a goal doesn't score. I have upped the altfiregib delat to 10 seconds to discourage its use to get back on D. Looking into the shield code to see if there's anything that needs doing in there.

In fact, I remember Zodiac and Gibball as the best 3rd party additions to DB ever.

Simply join the BuD server and vote up Gibball and Zodiac. Viola! You will have them both in your cache. Beware though.. Gibball isn't final yet. It will likely change.

Even easier.. http://bud.recongamer.com/beef.zip

Has the current build of gibball and zodiac. I included deathvolley as well if you're up to the task of making the glass' blocking volumes work. Might be easy for all I know, but I have no idea what I'm looking at in the editor..

If you have any luck, just email the kaboodle back to me at muave_bib@hotmail.com

Thanx!

glad to have gibball back in action.

after playing for a lil while i noted one thing. the ball radius, or the player catch radius is too large. i catch the ball through my shield quite often., and catch when i think i should be giving the ball a volley. doh!

other then that its good to have it back

You might want to try this with Take Your Time, that is, if it works together

Yeah this was pissing me off, it seems you can't volley rely on the shield anymore which took a lot of fun out of it.

That and the fact that the ball seems to reset randomly every 30 seconds or so for no particular reason.

Working on #1, #2 is fixed - and it was 12 seconds.
