CarBall 3 RC6 Released

[HoMeRS}i{MpSoN]

The moment is finally here. After many, many long months we are pleased to announce the formal "release" of CarBall 3 for UT3. Download it here! We are making the current version, CarBall 3.0 RC6 available for everyone. The mod is far from done, however we feel that it is to a point where it is fun and fully playable. Please report any issues you find here. We are working at getting a bug tracking system up, but for now continue to post to the forums. I am also working on putting together a manual like we had for CB2. It is almost ready, and a link will be place on the main page soon.

For those of you who are CarBall 2 veterans, please keep in mind that that is not CarBall for UT2k4 version 3. This mod has been completely re-written from the ground up to take advantage of the UT3 engine, which is VASTLY different than the Unreal 2 engine. If you have played Warfare or VCTF in UT3, you will know that vehicle handling is very different than it UT2k4, and has a much more realistic feel.

I have also set a new area where all the CarBall related downloads and installer packages can be found. You can get to this quickly from the front page by clicking the "Files" link.

To go along with the occasion, I have put together a new CarBall 3 theme for the site, including our new logo and slogan. If you prefer the old look, you can revert to the CB2 theme using the user control panel. As always, we welcome any suggestions or comments you might have. Always remember that no matter what it is just a game!

Enjoy!!

May I just say a big well done to Homer and the other members of the Dev team. Ive been waiting for this day for a long time and will now purchase my copy of UT3. Id love to see some screenshots and videos in the meantime, though *hint hint*

Well, I will try to get some screenies up in the next day or so - videos, not so much, at least not from me. . .need to get the server running first (hopefully tonight - I mean - it is running - just need to add all the maps and get the voting/gametype stuff working, as well as remove the password - which is currently "tdrulz", if you want to get on in the interim and play some greed with us - ). Look for Teamdemonic server when scrolling down the list (will be under CTF, though you will see CarBall, but not sure if it will list the servers when CarBall gametype is chosen).

I dont want to sound offensive, but who designed the banner? It doesnt look very appealing from an aesthetical viewpoint. At least compared to the old one.

Demon, would you mind posting the IP for the server? I've been trying to find a server with the name "Teamdemonic" and I am just not seeing it. Maybe you brought it down so you can mess with gametypes and whatnot, I don't know but either way I'd like to give CB3 a try so I'll need monitor the server

OJ started it, and I finished it. And just so you know, I am not an artist and we currently have no artists or modelers on the active Dev Team. Plus I think it looked better at full size before it was shrunk down...

Teamdemonic server IP = 208.167.134.56 Port 7777 - and yes we have been testing it - no password now, we haven't gotten the voting enabled/working yet - have the game running and the maps flip based on.ini entry currently, and no issues with the maps loading. . . I will keep you all posted with progress. . .

I agree with Gribbz, sorry =(

I was always a fan of MC's, and being a minimalist when it comes to Graphic Design, I think that by itself (shrunk down to the correct dimensions and with a rounded edge) would be fine. Infact, I'll do it now:



I think that would look fairly sexy, maybe it's just me

PS: On the subtitle... the text part in the header, not on the logo, you wrote "Insanty" instead of "Insanity"

Fine. Changed. But NOT because you all complained, but because I never thought the logo looked very good after shrinking it down so much...

It's missing a car though, maybe even a ball?

Anyway, less complaining about something as worthless as a banner, and more populating our 1 server so we can get the ball rolling. I was goofing around already for about 20 minutes and no one showed up, I was so sad

Yea, Slinky and I were on for a bit last night - and no one showed up either!! But, it is brand spanking new - so word probably has not gotten out enough yet -

Wow, cant anyone make constructive criticism these days? The banner is the first thing people see when they load the page. The old one was crappy quality, the new one is great. No one complained. End of.

Dude... Noticed the wink emoticon? I didn't take it that seriously...
