BnS League Season 2
Image
Wow 33 games since the last newsletter. SS is still holding a commanding lead, they added 15 more points to their total score. A battle for second is beginning to form. TSB still holds second place with 14 points but Lines and HoX both have 13 points and are hungry to win more games. Elite a relatively young team upset both Freedom Fighters and TSB picking up two victories. Team Mast3r are true underdogs itching for a win, they have played 19 games so far and have came close to winning on a number of occasions. This is the team to route for.

Ace of Spades Steam Cards!
Ace of Spades now has 6 steam cards for you to collect or sell to friends. There are currently 6 cards for you to get and once you have all 6 you can get a badge and a nice reward as well, you might even get a deuce emoticon with your badge. Though there are only three card drops in the game.

Scripts
Thepolm3 has been up to his usual pyspades tinkering.
Brief disclaimer, the scripts below haven't been thoroughly tested on a full server

MIXED
by Thepolm3
  • The MIXED script allow the serverowner to change the gamemode of a server without restarting the server. This means that server owners don't need to host ~5 different servers just to present a tiny bit of what custom ace of spades gamemodes has to offer.

    This will also mean that a lot of the lesser played gamemodes will get some more playtime! There are some great gems that a lot of players have sadly not yet experienced.

Intellimode
by Thepolm3
  • But wait, there's more!

    Because not every gamemode fits with the same amount of players, ThePolm3 has also created Intellimode.

    This script changes gamemode based on the amount of players that is online on the server.
    So get ready for this, server owners Blue_Wink1
Worldedit
by Thepolm3
  • The worldedit script which allows for map editing ingame in a similar way for the equivalent mod in minecraft has been updated!

    It now supports Schematics. As well as the lighten and darker function everyone who has use voxed would be familiar with! If you take a look at the source code you'll notice that it's a huge script, so a lot of work has been poured into this.
Map Merger
by Thepolm3
  • Next up is Map merger!.

    A weird script that can merge two maps into one, this can lead to some crazy looking maps.
    Take Bridgeway as an example:

    Image

    If you hadn't guessed it already, it's a mix between Hallway and Bridge Wars

    So get mixing! Blue_Rifle
Build n' Kill
Thepolm3
  • Another smaller gamemode he created was Build n' Kill!. This is a gamemode where every 10 minutes, killing and building will be toggled. Meaning that there will be 10 minutes of build-only, and then 10 minutes of killing only!

    This could work well on some maps like pinpoint. Where no mans land areas are often occurring.
Ping Kicker
Thepolm3
  • Next up is a script that kicks a player from a server if that players has more than X amount of ping.
    You can download it from here.
    This could be useful as it's not always fun playing with laggy players.

Maps
Gobi
by Lostmotel

Gobi is an island based map like isle of war but big enough to allow you to not get sniped. It has low points on the sides and higher points in the middle. You can also see the cacti which are stronger then the cacti you see on most maps so it will take them a while to take down. There are also two caves in the middle of the map so you can tunnel if you want. Click here to download.

Height Map Tutorial

im glad he made my suggestion an actual gamemode.... that's better for people like me who want to play both but not at the same time, building and getting killed isn't much fun while just plain building gets a little boring, and beware. Just as you can be sitting to pick up the intel people can be waiting to shoot you. you did add the box thing right?
