Here's an awesome promo teaser made by my good friend ducky, 1440p fuck yeah
http://youtu.be/UAC8G4igOS8
Featuring a new custom bball map made by my good friend X_DIAS specially for comp.tf
Here's a screenshot, feel free to download the map and test it, feedback is appreciated as always.
We've been hard at work to deliver a new cup, and after a few weeks of planning here it is.
I really wanted to make something good and I discussed with a few friends the possibility of a new cup, I was considering a ultiduo cup but after the idea for a custom map came up, I knew I had to take advantage of it, I love bball, it's such a creative and fun game mode and I always felt there were no good maps for casting bball, this aims to be a more cast-friendly map, and I hope it gets used after the cup by other players/cups.
It's based entirely on ballin_sky with the only difference gameplay-wise being a slightly increased skybox.
- All the details can be found here
- The custom map can be found here
The cup is for European teams only, we debated the possibility of a dual tournament for both scenes or a NA cup first, but I didn't want to make the same mistakes as I did in the newbie cup and I wanted it to be a little less stressing as well so I opted to run a EU cup first and if all goes well we'll run a NA cup later on.
Buy-in is 1 key per team, goes entirely to the prizepool.
We want to stream and cast the later stages of this (semis or quarter-finals onwards), I already got ducky onboard on camera, still looking for casters.

I think being able to shoot rockets through a backboard is a somewhat important gameplay change. Not sure why you would add this but whatever. Map itself looks nice except for the random explosion area on the court that seems really out of place with the rest of the map. I also probably would have gone for regular paint overlays instead of caution tape as they're a bit distracting imo.

Thanks for the feedback, I linked the post to X_DIAS but apparently he has to wait for his tf.tv account to be activated by an admin so he can't post right now. He will post when he can

1st, i wouldn't really call that a game changer at all lol, i'd like to see some airshots throught the gap.
but if enough ppl complain, i'll fix that
2nd, the hole in the floor, was just to add some detail to the actual court, again, if enough ppl complain, i'll change it
3rd, i might agree with the stripes, but i guess that depends on your config, really.

6 Sign-ups already! :D
Let us know what you think about the map as well. we really want feedback from it and also to update it accordingly to the feedback before the cup
We are also looking for casters for this event. Probably from times around 6-8 pm GMT. If you want to cast it feel free to talk to me on steam.

Are NA players allowed to join if they don't mind the high ping?

EU BBall has noob rules. 6 second respawn is such a joke

Wait, EU uses 6 second spawns? If that's true, Kaneco, then I highly recommend opting for the near-instant respawns that are on BBall iT. Makes the game a lot more action-packed and interesting, IMO.

I thought EU used 2 second respawns as well, I will try to convince Kaneco to change that.

6 seconds spawns would be awful it'd be just everybody playing back until somebody died then it's basically a free cap.

Sorry but no, there will be a NA cup eventually if this goes well but I dont want to make the same mistake I made in the newbie cup.

Wasn't aware of this, I based the whole thing on etf2l latest bball cup. I will review it and talk to some people and maybe it can be changed. It's the first time I heard about this issue.

Post above. And by the way what are the exact rules of NA bball? care to share previous bball cups configs or link me something?

pretty much just 2 sec respawn and don't sit on the hoop

Yeah. Klanana posted the BBall iT config here:
http://forums.tf2jump.com/index.php/topic,2031.0.html
At least, I'm pretty sure that's what the server is still using.
Edit: But yeah, basically 2 second respawn and stock weapons are the most important aspects, I think. Allowing escape plan adds a bit of fun as well since you can do some cool stuff with it and it isn't detrimental to the game like gunboats or DH.

relevant settings are:
//RESPAWN NA style (with wozers sm plugin)
sm_respawn_time_enabled 1
sm_respawn_time_red 2
sm_respawn_time_blue 2
config (based on current bball it cfg. this only has bball specific commands, so its not tournament proof. add the regular etf2l config to it and it should be good)
http://www.mediafire.com/view/kqslv63beajm760/bball.cfg
whitelist (directly from bball it)
http://www.mediafire.com/view/5m46afh40dt665j/item_whitelist.txt
(note: stock weapons, reskins, and original allowed only. escape plan has been debated a lot but its currently banned)

respawns have to be set with a plugin? not sure how doable is that. Because not everyone will have servers with surcemod.

Yeah, sounds good. I will try to make the change, not sure what's the best way to do it.

well the problem is TF2 doesn't have true instant respawn. mp_disable_respawn_times 1 is a ~6 second respawn.
there is another way using the command spec_freeze_time, which if set to 0 will give the server approximately 2 second respawn. however it is blocked by sv_cheats. sm_cvar spec_freeze_time 0 will allow you to do it without WoZeR's plugin or cheats, but it still needs sourcemod.
without sv_cheats 1 or sourcemod/plugins I don't think it is possible.

If you're looking to test the map online, george set up a server for us running our map so feel free to join and maybe play some bball at:
http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/176.56.237.35:10110/b_350_20_FFAD41_E98100_000000_591F11.png
connect 176.56.237.35:10110
14 signups for the cup atm.
We also appreciate if more people tried the map and gave some feedback as well because we wanted to release a final updated version before the cup if needed.
And we will probably be using etf2l configs but with the 2sec respawns. Just trying to figure out the best way to do it.
We also created our official twitch channel, you can follow us at: http://www.twitch.tv/comptflive That where we will be streaming from in the future

Apparently Slin won't be available to cast due to the Zowie cup so we're still looking for casters, if you want to help, add me on steam
Also we now have 18 signups!
And we probably will be using the full European ruleset due to the difficulty of getting servers running 2s respawn
