Hi
Thought i would share this mod i made for my server , to help new players when playing freezetag to learn the locations throughout the maps
I recently got an influx of new players who didn't know where "Stone House" was (The Bridge) for example , and the regulars got a bit annoyed trying to direct them to where they were frozen . So i made this mod to help the new players out ( and some older ones ) to learn the locations abit easier
FreezeTag Location Help Mod - By Purple Elephant
Version 2
27/05/2013
*Fixed Bug that causes crashes in linux servers*
Version 1
27/04/2013
Displays a helpful hud for players who need help with freezetag locations during gameplay.
Designed for new players who have trouble finding places where people are frozen,
Displays both the full location and body code
So when your walking ( or running and shooting) around a map , it will display the location in which
you are currently at in the top right. So when you see plays get frozen , you will learn the names of the
places. Should help new players out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requires:
---------
Reborn patch ( latest ) >>> http://www.x-null.net
