May 2009.

New Hud...

Sorry about the lack of action since December I have been busy ... believe it or not :)

Some dodbits readers will remember the Ultra Mini right HUD, misfit revamped it in 2007 and now it has been updated. Details of what this HUD is and download is here .

New Map...

Yep, I am learning how to map. I bit off way more the first time out but have manged to release quite a good version of dod_thunder.

Release thread of dod_old_thunder_b8 is in the steam forum here . There will be another version of this after I fix a few errors.

Other things I have found while mapping is that it IS possible to have vehicles in dods, also I have a coastal gun that fires a round that explodes on impact, both need a touch and a tweak here and there but... they do work.

I love to fix maps that have been abandoned by the original mapper... if you have a favorite map that needs a quick fix, let me know. Just make sure the mapper has in fact abandoned the map and try to contact them, if they are not around anymore I can decompile any map and edit.

Fixed tutorial...

Whats next for dodbits?...

The whole site needs an upgrade, slowly doing that bit by bit. I had hoped to add way more maps but there are lots of sites doing that already. Family, work, mapping and the Bogan Clan keep me very busy.

Older HUDs broken by the last update are going to be reviewed, no new HUDs planned (I think we have enough now).

Server set up tutorials are started but require finishing, that looks like the next thing, make a set of files for SourceMod and keep that set updated as plugins change.

This will be the same plugin line up I use on our clans Bogan server, lots of custom additions to the normal menu and a few custom hacks to individual plugins. Reading the SourceMod documents for the first time is confusing... well it was for me when I went to adjust a few more complex items anyway. I hope to make that a little easier for someone starting out.

Cheers
