Have You Got The Balls For This ?????

Zoneit is the other half of the ZonE mod. It will kick into play when a non-ZonE map is run on a server with the ZonE mod. (at the admins discretion of course). Here's how the gameplay works:

One player is randomly chosen to be IT. The IT is identified by his big yellow balls. The guy with the balls is stronger than normal, and is also more resistant to damage than normal. The jaffas (those without pips !) are a sad and weak bunch. They may or may not be able to damage each other, and they do little damage to the IT. Frags are only awarded for kills made by IT, or when a jaffa kills IT. So, to be succesfull, the jaffas must work together to defeat the mighty IT. But watch out. Whoever kills IT gets the big balls, and will unleash his new found might against his former allies.

There are a whole bunch of commands that can be set by the server to control how the gameplay works. Here is a short description:

itgame - 0 or 1 - This tells the mod whether to play IT on deathmatch maps, or play normal deathmatch. It defaults to IT mode (0)

timeit - 0 to infinity - Controlls how long IT can remain IT. The default value of 0 means that the IT remains IT until he is killed, at which point the killer becomes IT. If this is set to any other value, a new IT will be chosen at random from the jaffas at the end of this time period.

itdodamage - This controlls how much damage the IT can do to the jaffas. The default is 1.75, which means that the IT does 175% of his normal damage.

ittakedamage - This determines how much damage the jaffas can do to the IT. This defaults to 0.6, which means IT only received 60% of normal damage from the jaffas.

nitdodamage - This determines how much damage the jaffas can inflict on each other. The default value of 0 means that jaffas cannot harm each other.

For the players, there is a new console command whoit which tells the player who is currently it. If the timelimit for being it is used, there will be a countdown bar on the ITs HUD which shows him the time left until his reign sadly comes to an end.

The mod is not yet available, but is undergoing testing at the moment. As it is server-side only, you will not need to download anything if you want to play. Just find a server running the mod, and hop on. Keep yours eyes peeled for a release date.
