What is CTB
|
CTB or Capture
the briefcase, is a new mod that combines the rules of CTF and
the action/realism from AQ2!! |
Who are these AQDT Guys?
|
We are the
Action Quake Development Team, we make mods for Action Quake
2. We promise that we will NEVER modify the weapon codes and
we will try to make the game fair and in compliance with the
A-Team's vision. |
How do I find CTB Servers?
|
There is
a list of servers posted on our news page |
Whats up with the CD/CELLS?
|
The CD's
and Cells are used as temporary briefcases until vwep is complete
and we can release a client pak. |
Where is the CD/CELL? /
Which is our Briefcase?
|
It depends,
you have to read the text when you respawn with your team that
scrolls by. The text contains important information and will
tell you a variety of things, where your Briefcase is, what the
mission etc. Please read it. It will make the game more enjoyable
for all. |
How do I pick up the Briefcase
(CD/CELL)?
|
You must
be using either a single pistol or a knife in order to pick up
a special object. You may not switch to a weapon other than the
single pistol or knife while carrying the special object. |
Can I drop the Briefcase
(CD/CELL)?
|
Not really.
The best course of action is to make a capture (see below). If
that's beyond your means, the simplest way to get rid of it is
to walk up to a friendly player on the enemy team and wait patiently. |
How do I capture the Briefcase
(CD/CELL)?
|
Take
it to the area that was specified in the message at the beginning
of the round. Yes, the one that popped up FOUR times. There will
typically be two capture boxes on a level. If you pick up the
Briefcase at one of them, take it to the other.
Some
scenarios require that the other Briefcase be "at home"
in order to capture. If this is the case, then you may have to
wait for the case to return, either after a certain amount of
time or by having one of your teammates touch it. Currently,
the flag carrier may not return his own flag. |
Why is that guy glowing?
|
The current
means of showing who is carrying a special object is to make
them glow with either a blue or red shell. Future versions will
include vwep models for carried objects. |
Why can I respawn sometimes
but not others?
|
Each
scenario defines its own respawn policy for each team. It could
be no respawn at all, instant respawn, respawn after a certain
amount of time, or respawn when a certain percentage of your
team is down.
Just
beneath your frag counter will be another field. For timed respawns,
this will countdown for each player. For fractional respawns,
this shows the percentage of players on your team that is out
of commission. |
Who has the Briefcase?
|
There are
no messages displayed when someone takes the Briefcase, this
is to promote teamwork and it can be used as stealth. The best
thing to do is bind a key to something like "i have the
briefcase, %T: need escort!" or
"enemy has our briefcase!". For now players holding
the Briefcases will be glowing. Once vwep is compete, the player
holding the Briefcases will be shown with a Briefcase in hand. |
Why can't I pick up our
own Briefcase?
|
Why would
you? You want to capture the enemies briefcase, not yours! |
When are extra frags for
Briefcase capture going to be implemented?
Can I fire my weapon when
I have the Briefcase?
|
Yes, but
you can only fire your hand gun or throw/stab your knife. |
Where are we supposed to
take the enemy Briefcase?
|
Take it
to your base, if you don't know where your base is, ask someone
to escort you. or read the mission text when you join the server
to find out which base is yours . |
Can we get verification
that the other team has our Briefcase?
|
You have
to rely on your teammates for that information. Again, this game
is designed towards team play. |
