Ballmen is a newly announced and released Beta Modification for the Source Engine. Weighing in at 14.6 Megs, this mod allows you to walk almost everywhere on the level, seamlessly. While not true 360 DoF, this mod captures the spirit of Descent without a pyro.

Under the \"Media\" section is a YouTube video of the mod in action with some interesting wall stunts. Well worth a watch.

Re:
Did you watch the video?d3jake wrote:Two Questions:
1. When will you get Pyros into it?
2. Does it have joystick support for said Pyros?
This MOD is a ground pounder type of game. You are able to walk & jump to all sides of walls.
Adding pryos wouldn't work for this MOD.
As far as joystick support.
I haven't installed this MOD yet, but the Source engine has joystick support.
So I'm thinking this MOD has it.
BTW - Mr. Necktie, nice work! Looks great and I'm looking forward to trying this MOD.

Sorry, but I can't take the credits for this. I'm not that great at making mods for Source...simple stuff, really. I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like this.
I'm currently working out the theory for a UT2004 mod similar to this, but with simpler controls (no need for a switchSurface button, just walk anywhere, like right up a cliff or under CTF-Face).
I'm very well-versed in how to do this sort of thing, but actually doing it is a whole new ballgame.
Still, Ballmen is a great Source mod. I'm eager to try a few CS:S maps out with this.

As I wrote this, I realized that a Pyro mod wouldn't be too tough in Unreal Engine 2.5...the \"Raptor\" air vehicle just needs maximum friction and a \"wiggle ship\" function.
After that, it'd just be a matter of adding in a few more classes and sub-classes to clone it for the different weapon loadouts. Simple cube chains for maps can take it from there. Another thing I need to work on.

Re:
Source only provides you w/ the joystick API. You'll have to code the support into the mod. Even w/o seeing it it yet, most likely this mod doesn't have stick support.Aus-RED-5 wrote:As far as joystick support.
