I was wondering if anybody might remember this mod from several years ago. In '97 or '98 i played this mod for quake on mplayer named q-ball. It was for original quake not quakeworld so the lag was pretty bad. But it was great team game. There were 2 teams and the object was to find the quad damage. Once the quad damage was held your team would gain a point every 10 seconds. 1 player on the team would hold the quad damage, while holding it they would only have their axe available relying on their teamates to protect them. You could "throw" the qball by switching to another weapon. The mod was really fun and I havent seen it since mplayer had it for quake a long time ago. Has anybody ever recreated this mod?

Unreal 2k3 has a mod called Mutant or something that is similar...some one is 'It' and they get are the only one that can get frag points for kills. Once another player kills the Mutant that player becomes 'It' and can score frags. A game mode similar to this is in Jedi Knight 2 where one man gets the Light Sabre and so on and so forth. I've also heard of another that is more similar to the one you described but I can't think of where...it was for something like Q3 or half-life...but I just can't think of what it was. Sorry.

There is a q-ball mod for Quake 3. But it is a paintball mod and not related to mplayer q-ball for Q1 which i desribed above. There was another great mod for Q1 similar to the one you mention above called SRAMA. One person was "it" and they were super powerful with lots of HP and Armor and had quad damage. Everybody else tried to kill whoever was it so that they could become it. After you became it you had 10 seconds before you could move so that other players had time to regroup to try to kill you. -Leo "Jake" <otijim@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:3f439c64.180575223@news.byu.edu... > Unreal 2k3 has a mod called Mutant or something that is similar...some > one is 'It' and they get are the only one that can get frag points for > kills.
