Soccer mode is now available.

All you have to do is download a RAR file from
http://www.poczta.republika.pl/soccer.rar
unpack it, read the instructions and start to play.

Screenshots & pictures:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mojepliki/ss/1.jpg => the whole map
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mojepliki/ss/2.jpg => one of the goals
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mojepliki/ss/3.jpg => spawnpoints
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mojepliki/ss/4.jpg => the ball


Two teams (all BETA, but you should know where to shoot), one ball and two goals. Just play regular soccer with shooting instead of kicking.

Have fun. Any comments below.

If you host a game in LAN that does not mean that it is not accessible from the internet. You can also play with hopping crates over the internet. You just need a LAN server :)

wow now THAT is a new idea

this is a great idea, but your map is a little weak. If someone would make a better looking map with a background audience and such, it would be cool. Also, I say that any servers playing this should limit it to only Ruger, and no nades (People could theortically get themselves hurt and "Eat" the ball :P)

Well... just RTFM I wrote! (translation is not very good, but I tried hard) ;)
There's everything you mentioned, so... "rules.txt" is what you're looking for.


From "rules.txt"
***Server configuration:
-map: Soccer.PMS
-TDM for at least 2 players
-time limit: 10+ minutes
-NO M79, LAW, grenades, (knife);
-[!!!]Soldat>Options>Network:

[X] or [V] = ON
[ ] = OFF

[X]LAN [ ]Internet
[V] Register in lobby server
(...)
[ ] Balance teams

-Soldat>Options>Game:
[ ] Friendly Fire

[!!!] Be sure, that "soldat.ini" in "[GAME]" by "Kits_Collide" has 1 (and not 0).
"Kits_Collide=1" (after "Guns_Collide", before "Play_Intro").

Can you shoot there? [Fifa'05 etc.] I guess not...
Can you chat with friends? I guess not...
Can you switch to killing mode just by typing in "/map arena"? I guess not...

Demo will be (hopefully) made soon. I must gather some people to make it look better (than it is).

Watcher - great job! SnD told me that there are now 8 pro players in Poland:] I hope we will play once more. For all the whiners - THIS ROXX! If you didnt play you should not give an opinion because maybe it looks weak but actually it is better than RamBo Match or Ppint Match. I hope you will put my shot from my own half or yours almost from your goal in your demo. The idea is not only intersting - it is fully playful and it gives a load of fun! I hope the community of soccer players will evolve...

No, you can't play with bots. It's impossible to make bots to shoot to the medic kit.

BTW - it's not a mod either. Nothing is modified form the default mode(and changing "medic kit" image is optional).

>>Only if we could have kits colliding online...
I ask you to read the "rules.txt" again. If you switch to "[X] LAN" and turn on "[V] Register in lobby" you can play through internet. I checked it and it works quite well.

>>Nice map watcher!
Thank you. I hope someone will make another map for playing soccer. This one has some polybugs and it doesn't really look good. Map for soccer must: have 2 goals, be fairly flat, have some small hills, a ball spawn somewhere above the field and should be build of regenerating polygons.


>>as someone mentioned above, what if you ate the "ball"?
Just take a new one and start again.
To prevent this you should turn off M79, grenades, knife and LAW. If you are hurt stop to regenerate (all polygons heal you).

Lycos messed up with files download. I must upload this demo somewhere else.

I made a movie of members of the DETH clan playing a 2v2 Soldat Soccer game over the internet... I posted it in the Fan Art Section. The game was alot of fun. Check it out @ http://archive.forums.soldat.pl/topic.php?topic_id=19090 . It would be cool if more ppl would take the time to DL and try, this is a fun/interesting map. I made this movie basically to promote the idea of making maps like this one. It would be neat if there was like a "Soldat Sports" series of maps or something like that.

It works fine over the internet.

Wow.. this is great! :) ..Great movie too Kirby.. I did nto know you could play online with LAN servers.. I think they idea fo being able to move powerups and weapons on the ground around is great ^_^ 'Hey pass me that barret' .. 'Sure' .. *Blasts it towards him with spas*

-Edit- I made a better mod for the 'ball' .. Colours are more realistic, and its background blends in with that map.. making it appear round --

Great ball!

[Shouldn't it be a "BMP" file? Of coure anybody can convert it, but some people still can't even read TXT files.]

Theoretically speaking you shouldn't be able to play in internet through LAN. A bug? [If so, then I like this 'bug'.]

hehe, supercool idea, much more creative then my odd climb maps :Q

i will try and create a juggling map where the medikit falls down from the sky and u have to keep it in the air as long as possible. at least 2 people are aquired for that i think so one can sometimes reload his spas which is probably best for that.

If it looks like fun - try it and say if it really does.

I'm not sure if this version with CTF and two flags works as it should... There's no ball so the whole game looks like playing CTF on a flat map.

I think shooting at medic kit works much better.

I called it SOCCER because "football" describes more than one sport. I also wanted to make a FOOTBALL/RUGBY version, but shooting the eggshaped ball in a right way to score was too hard.

Soldat Soccer is not as dead as you might think.

I made a new map. This one differs a lot from the first I made. It's not flat, has no polybugs and contains some scenery.

Same link, but BOTH maps were updated. In the first some of the polybugs were removed and now there is a different way of getting a new ball. In the second map... well... there was no second map before.

Some screens:
1] Overall view

2] Both goals

3] What is what

4] You start game form here
