18th September GunRace V1.0 Released
GunRace v1.0 has now been released. It's just the windows version now with the Linux version to be released shortly.
The zipfile is the full install and contains the v1.0 client files, the GunRace maps, bot files and the files needed to run a server.
You can download GunRace Windows Full install from the Downloads page.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12th September Bot Testing Completed
My previous news post was a little premature. Although GunRace was complete in itself Hypov8 was still tweaking the GunRace bots and adding bot route files for all the GunRace maps.
That is now complete and so the next thing to do is to get the Linux server files created. Once that is done everything will be placed into zip files and v1.0 of the mod released.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
24th August Finished Beta Testing
We have finished adding features, finished beta testing, fixed any bugs that were found and now GunRace is ready to be released as v1.0.
This should be soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
24th August Goat's Arena Map
I have done a remake of the old Frag'n'die2 map called Goat's Arena (fragndie7.bsp) which will be inlcuded with GunRace.
I have made it larger by adding side rooms, retextured the main room and added platforms to get to the top of the crates that are in the main room. I also updated the number and location of weapons and other items.
24th August GunRace Now Supports Bots
In a rush of activity, not only has a random weapon mode been implemented, but Hypov8 has now added bot support to the GunRace mod.
We just finished testing it and it works great. Soon you will be able to play GunRace 24/07 and when no one is around you can play against bots :D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
24th August GunRace Now has 3 Weapon Modes
Gunrace now supports three weapon modes - standard mode, reverse mode and random mode.
"weaponorder" has 3 modes, 1 default, 2 reverse and 3 random.
Random is generated on every map load so every game will be different.

After a quite period, due to real life, work on the mod has really picked up recently.

Hypov8 had to remake the Hud due to a bug. It still looks the same but it had to be rebuilt from scratch.

The machete is the final weapon you receive and to win the round you need to get one frag with it.

I have updated the Mod Overview, Maps and Staff and Mod Status pages.

17th December HUD Completed and New Map
It has taken a while but Goat has now completed work on the Gunrace Hud.
It ended up being much more difficult than anticipated but with the help of Monkey Harris and Captain Death Goat was able to work it out.
It's quite a simple looking Hud actually and shows your current weapon, what the next weapon will be and frags until the next weapon.

I have completed the fourth map for the mod called Fear Docks (screenshots on Maps page).
Goat is currently working on the Hud text. So what you will see in your Hud such as how many more kills to go with your current gun.
He is also working out how to remove the pistol mods from maps as they are not needed. You will only have the pistol once as the first weapon and it is already fully modded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9th October Work is progressing
Goat has incorportated Monkey Mod 2.0 into the mod so it now features antilag, map voting and other MM 2.0 features.
Goat has also made several other advances with the code:-
Weapons and ammo don't appear in maps (health, armour and the cooling mod will remain)
The player starts with a modded pistol and after a set number of kills changes to the next weapon.
The round completes when a player has gone through the selected weapons list.
We have started testing (just me and Goat at this stage) and have had two test sessions so far.
I have started work on the fourth map for the mod.
Goat will work on custom weapon skins once the coding is completed.
