Ok,

I've NEVER done any kinda maping with unreal so bare with me.

The Idea behind this map is basicly for like at most 4 on 4. even then it might become hard to score - but i know there are alot of amazing players out there who might welcome the challenge.

Basicly its like this. Each side has two rather wide goals, tho they are narrow in height - this is a modified OLD-Small Cube (which editing taught me a good ammount about unreal ed atleast ;P)

the trick about this map is. you cannot enter the goalie area only your own side goalie area and the neutral zone in the middle.

Map is best played in VO mode, and I've made it so it should work out nice and fun for a normal speed game.

If anyone has a server and wants to help me test this sucker out that'd be grand, i'm working on getting a server running here to do some test, but I got dsl which might not give others a decent ping.

New Screens:
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3

I can't wait to play a 2 on 2 match with some good volly whores. :)

If anyone wants to help with this project please do, I've no clue how to do the gay-dar or change the celebration junk.

Why not just make the red/blue "goalie" areas, pboxes. It feels funny with an invisible wall. The size of those pboxes would keep people out and open the game up to more players.

hmm thats true enough. - i only did that as a way to give each side a chance to plan its next move for the brief time they have - tho its very easy to just lame and not shoot the ball while the other team yells :)

I just might remove em, but i can't get a blasted server to work so others can join. so I can only test one on one hehe.

anyone got a sample of a workin INI (take out your passwords of course) or a good howto for XP machine?

thanks

If your behind a router that could be your problem with people connecting. I don't have a fix for that.

Do you use a firewall if so then you need to enable TCP/IP connections for the main ports i havent got the list here at work but i had the same problem and now my server works.

I could put the map on my server if you contact me on IRC but i dont know what your ping would be like if you are in the US then its normally about 150+ if you are in Europe then its between 60 and 130 normally.

My IRC name is ^Coffin^

I was able to connect to your server it was pinging at about 199 so my ping was 160+ but i like it and it will be great for those VO whores.
