After some fiddling with UnrealScript I created the next mutators.

DeathballNoob

It show in the hud if a team mate is boostable by drawing its icon white. It also shows when the ball is volleyable by drawing "Volley!" on the hud and drawing the ball icon green.

You can find it at:

DeathballTouch

It makes the regular deathball game somewhat harder by allowing each team an 1 time pickup of the ball untill the other team does so (volleys also count as pickup).
Example:
Team red picks up the ball, passes it to an team mate. The team mate cannot pick up the ball, so it is bounced away from him (or goes trough him if the ball is moving too slow). He can't pick up the ball, not even when its stationary, untill the blue team picks it up or boosts it away. After a ball reset or goal, both teams can pick up the ball.

Comments are welcome

o_O I don't see the use of the 2nd one tbh

Shouldn't you be encouraged to keep posession?

How will you score with only one touch of the ball everytime?

You'd have to pressure opponents into bad passes or shots, then take a long shot yourself? o_O

I'll try em though ;p
1st one sounds useful

Oi, another dutch coder :O You leet? Could use some help with some mods -_- *cough* vroom dodgeball *cough*

Edit: omg also hccnet

@ Messy:

Well, I did not thought it out very well. I was on a server once where somebody said to me to only touch the ball once and volley the rest of the time. So i thought I could create a mutator of it.

@ Rens2Sea:

No not 1337, not yet at least. These are my first :p But we can talk on IRC if you really want me to help with dodgeball.

hccnet..pff

Anyway, ya, touching the ball only once then only volleying is ok for pubs, but you can't even volley with this =/

There's truly no point /o\

The other mutator is a great idea, but the radar is all fucked up
Also the beacons don't change as promised

Besides that, the Volley! on screen..great idea, but you can't really respond to that all too well

I think timing is the major problem tbh.

What you might want to try is check the ball's velocity and if it's coming along your path or towards you, and making a countdown along with that...

Then again that would be too hard

edit: Just an idea, what would be easier to code and still help, is showing the distance on screen, while the font is getting bigger and the distance is getting smaller (show it very accurate ), and in the end it says "Volley!"

Just a "Volley!" out of nothing is not enough to make them react /o\

Nice try though
The DB n00b mutator could be quite good for newbies if it were a little bit more helpful and wasn't so buggy on the radar

Well, you CAN volley, and are allowed nothing BUT volley if your team had a pickup of the ball or volleyd the ball away.
And it was indeed intended for pubs and for some guys who wanted to practice some bouncing and volleying.

Ill try to fix the problems with the radar, you have some good points

I updated DeathballNoob with Messys comments. All should work well now with the radar and a counter is added. The url stays the same so click on the first post

"o_O I don't see the use of the 2nd one tbh " <- ditto

—› Sixtee's actual host is ~jaimyme@fia113-21-100.dsl.hccnet.nl

l0af\ real host is loafymcloa@host81-155-59-130.range81-155.btcentralplus.com

l0af, so? o_O

I'll look at it Floris .o/

2nd one = useful to practice bounce, i bet mightilly impossible to score in a pickup with decent players
