scripts.tribalwar.com/evita/orbz/wingman_orbz_mod.zip
Installation instructions included in zip. Before releasing the next mods I have planned, I will make an installer program to make life easier for you people. A website will be up shortly.
Note:
(1)All 3 graphic modifications are included in this zip.
(2)Other players will NOT see your matrix orb, only you will. The only way they can see it is to download and install it also.
Justin, I do need to speak with you in the near future. I have started laying out my first orbz map (moon base) with a hacked in mission editor (ill post pics in a few hours hopefully, trying to finish the prototype model). Im really curious if I can get my hands on the .cs files. I can still create scripts and such by dumping object info via console, hacking through the tree(), and picking through the .dso files; just alot easier not having to do that!
yes, yes. im master of none, a jack of all trades.

The moon looks great. Cheeze huh? Ya know, if you added it a little red tint, it could be Mars!

Nice Jason! Yeah, I use the obsidian orb and figured out how to make the insert red instead of black (just changed Ball_Dark1.jpg to solid red). Then found out it's still black to anyone online, only red for me. Wish I could customize for all to view but I guess that creates it's own problems. Thanks again for the powerup bar. I added 3 verticle lines to it to help my out a little. Also added a crosshair to the aiming reticle. Keep in mind, I have zero programming knowledge, just a lot of curiosity.The moon looks great.

What editing tools did you use for that?

I recieved the Moon Base map from Jason and will be taking a look at it hopefully before year ends. If it meets approval (I'm pretty sure it will) we will put the new course up on one of the HomeLAN server and provide some instructions for how to download and install the new course.

The terrain on that looks familiar.....

The terrain WAS one of the ice maps (cant remember). I stripped all the objects out of the map, and totally changed the terrain, so it should not look familiar at all. Its a fresh creation.

EDIT: Moon Base is complete. Looking for a few players to give some feedback. Ive played 5 bots ALOT on this map, and its smooth sailing.
JUSTIN: What are the best hours to catch you on irc?
