why the goal keeper is keeping the ball so long !!

mirabele lys · Post by **mirabele lys** » 04-12-2003 10:28

Hello all,

I don't know if this a bug but when I'm playing solo deathball and when the ball reaches the goal keeper, he never pass the ball even if I still active the "pass me" command ???

He keeps it and when the "keep time" is over, the ball is re injected at the middle of the field.

Thank you to explain me the problem.

I forget to add : can somoene may provide me with a sure URL link to DL lots of DB maps, thank you !

not unless you feel like coding some bot AI. :p Sadly, there is no support of solo play in deathball yet, and doesn't look like it will happen for a long time. Come and play online, you'll find it a lot more fun $\o/$

As for maps, just check out the mapping forum on this site. Make sure you get Armagon's deathball ownage map-pack. 4cows maps has a fine selection of custom db ones.

hope that helps

When they decided to code AI Bots for single player. they should make them complete with team and non team taunts that randomly say 'PASS YOU N00B!' and also 'GG DAVIDM' when the ball gets stuck or reset.

tho seriously. that might be a good way to teach new players deathball if they say "alt fire to pass me the ball!' and if they over charge a shot while trying a team mate will say "release the shot just before your energy bar is full for maximum poweR!'

and then they do the humping dance. and db turns really gay with some porno music... :O

DB online needs tweaking a bit first, then when it wins the MSU contest (;)) they'll do AI

When you select botmatch the game clearly states that the bot support is not properly working.

that's if you use the db executable. most people (yours truly included) just use the normal ut2k3 one and go to the db tab. *It* doesnt have any annoying popup messages when you want to do an offline test

Oh yes, I noted that and also rode the readme text that was saying that bots were stupid as ***, but I was just wondering...

Being a frenchie noob

who just recently discover DB mod, I was just wondering was exactly do you mean by "volly" or "volley" ? (I did check in many posts but did not undertand exactly themeaning of it) (sorry

)

I also noted on this post that Armagon was talking about.....grenades...............huh ??!!:eek:

(and Mirabele wons the new Noob prize:D

)

Thank you for your patience as I'm in charge of the "UT2003 part" for a little LAN with friends and I would not like to appear as an idiot,, hihihi

$\o/$ so give me all your Noob tips, thank you

Oke here we go:

Volleying is 'hammering' the ball away by pusing LMB when u are near the ball and looking at it. With this technique u can also 'boost' people, but then use it on people. This will give the player a boost, so that he can go somewhere faster.

Deathball is a mod with mods:
Tennis-Dodgeball-DbWarfare (<3 Rens)
The grenades he was talking about, were used in DB-Warfare, wich is like fps-worms ala deathball.
I was gonna link to the N00bguide made by Catalyst, but it seems the link is broken

So check http://www.deathball.net reguraly and especially the 'Stuff '
page, where u can find Player guides (<3 Cata).

edit: Bot play sucks, come play online $\o/$

Volley is when you hit the ball without catching it. ie: pressing the fire button when the ball is in front you if. you can hit it in the air if you dare, or in a house with a mouse...

there is a thread somewhere on here with tips for noobs
