BnS League Season 3 Playoffs

Image
The regular season is now over. Congratulations to Blue Tomatoes, SturmStaffel, Execution, Ninja Turtle Swag, American Knights, TSB Merged, StrikeForce, and Limes. They all qualified for the playoffs. Blue Tomatoes took first place in the regular season, will they be able to take first place in the playoffs?

Season 3 was a good one with 51 games and 38 victories and 13 ties. We saw two teams who participated in the first two seasons finally earn their first win and qualify for the playoffs. It was a great see.

Project Rockhopper


Project rockhopper is a new project being lead by JoJoe_Stinky that will become a community resource for map makers and modders, it will be map pack, asset pack, and skin pack where all of the assets are shared, and techniques are discussed for the betterment of the community. It is currently still being worked on so no public assets have been released yet. However we do know that it will contain lots of map making tools to help people get started. JoJoe does need the following talents though:
  • Slab6 artist.
  • Script programmers/writers
  • Qubicle artists
  • Voxed artists.
  • 2D sprite artists.
  • Blender artists.
  • in-Game artists. (Yup, The client is a map editor too, hit F2 to save)
  • Web developers

Changes to the Site


A new compact and optimized theme is now automatically used when you access BuildAndShoot.com from most mobile devices. This is what it looks like on an iPhone:

To view the normal full-sized theme from your mobile device, click the 'Switch to full style' button:

In addition to the new mobile theme, the blue master race and green master race background images have been replaced with digital camo in their respective colors.

Map Repo

UnrealIncident has been working on a map repo for .vxl maps and their associated .txt files. Hotlinking of the maps is allowed and encouraged. Plan features include automatic iso map image generation. If you have any ideas or feature request be sure you mention them here.

Maps
Attack on Deuces
by Jdrew

Attack on Deuces is an island based map with lots of buildings and statues in it. It has the gameplay of an island map mixed with the design and feel of a city map. There are lots of hidden positions around the map and you can also climb up the statutes to sneak up on enemies. The map works well for CTF,TDM, and TC. Good job Jdrew!

Hezee Hills
by JoJoe_Stinky

Heeze Hills is a map tributed to danhezee. It has unique terrain and nice buildings however they are solid so you cant enter them. IT is a city based island map that is geared towards mini-CTF and arena. The towers and other models are colored nicely and the design is really good. The map's models are included in project rockhopper. This map also has a turntable HTML mode. Nice map Jo Joe!
