Quake Soccer

[Orion]

Hi, I made a mod where you play soccer in Quake.
But there's no weapons, and you can't kill anyone. You just have to kick the ball to the enemy goal.

UPDATE: Full package, last change: new player animation added.

soccer.bsp and scr2.bsp maps included.

Haha, this is great. Your mods always rock.

Did it a while back and forgot to comment, news posted it. Had good times with this, hope you update it sometime =)

I'm gonna do it later. I got goalkeepers to work, they appear when the map loads, and stand on the center of the goal waiting for the ball. The keepers are good, so it's tougher to score... really tougher. And the motive I removed jumping is to prevent bunny hopping, but you gave me a good idea of making a player jump higher than usual, and also I'll prevent bunny from only allowing the player to jump again after 0.1 second or so after landing. =)

Jumping could also take a smidgen of stamina if you implemented that.

[ceriux]

it wouldnt be that hard to add either.

Wasn't there a Quake soccer mod before (long-lost)? I remember seeing a screenshot in a game magazine back then.

The Shambler from Sajt's Wrestling mod would be an ideal addition as referee. Fouling to be punished with extreme prejudice, Quake-style.

Yup, it had a Quake guy head gib iirc, no bots however. Blood also had as a deathmatch level, a soccer stadium with two goals, and a bevy of zombie heads to kick around.

It of course, also had a bunch of weapons in the stands and shower room...

anyone want to play this later? lets set a time!

[Trickle]

of course no game is complete without a good number of people playing



Orion. I hope you continue working on this and adding more stuff. I noticed the only framesets used are axrun and axstnd, maybe you can add a superkick which uses rockrun and it wails the ball far and can knockout who ever is in front of the oncoming ball.

who ever gets knocked out has the death frames used and then the death frames reverse as he gets back up sort of like the spy in team fortress.

we can use a good BAM sound, what do you guys think?

the superkick should require charging too!

[ceriux]

super kick with a charge that determines how strong it is would be cool like if the charge bar is only half full then it does half the distance ect. id say it should knock them down for like 2 seconds, or something.

First post updated, new link.

Added goalkeeper, a bot which is spawned in front of the goal when a map is loaded that tries to keep the ball far away from it.
Added stamina, re-implemented jumping(eats up stamina), and speed boost is now an on-off toggle.

Well that were the only changes yet. But I'm thinking about making a kick charge bar, etc.

We can really set a time to play this online, it would be sweet.

[ceriux]

id try it out.

[Trickle]

this can be like a goalie ground headbutt



this can be a regular headbutt which only uses deathb1

[Trickle]

also, if you backpedal into the ball it should go backwards instead of forwards
