[herre]

I can make one, in paint! Mwuhahahahahhaha

Oh and why is the server always empty?

 

[The Harmonizer]

22nd Clan is looking for cool mods and maps to run on their 100 slot server, they might be interested in adding Atlas Novus.

 

[herre]

100slot server? :O

 

[TheAsperge]

Yes, it's very nice to play. They also have a contest: 22nd map pack contest where you could submit your own maps...

I wonder what the Arena mode would be like with 100 players... Probably pure awesome

 

[herre]

pure lag 0.o

 

[Kalp]

I have small suggestions. Add to weapon fork slash attack, it will be more fun, not only thrust attack.

Update

You can now download 0.80 at the repository This update was more focused on new maps but there are a number of fixes and tweaks.

New Maps

Khergit City

Khergit City is a massive map that can be played in most game modes, even siege! It's actually a pretty interesting siege map, as there are a huge number of both entry points and easily defendable locations. It's great for the Arena game mode as well.

Oasis

Oasis is an open-ended desert map which has a few locations of interest. It's great for battle but as usual, can be played in most game modes. Good for Arena as well, as I took the game mode into consideration when placing entry points.

Nord Hill Fort

Nord Hill Fort is a small siege map. It's pretty brutal to assault in a siege, but a lot of fun.

Fixes & tweaks

- Toned down thrown spear damage a little bit.
- Made pitch forks and similar weapons more versatile by adding swing attacks for them.
- Arena mode money management tweaked, should be much better now! (Needs more testing though.)
- Arena mode spawning points tweaked a little bit. Hopefully better now.
- Arena mode score list now shows dead people in red.
- Arena mode now has a counter that shows how many warriors there are left standing.
- Tweaked troop inventories a bit.
- One or two new items added.

Many thanks to everyone who has commented both here and in PMs, your support is much appreciated!

Updated the first post with some info on running dedicated servers using this mod.

One server is up atm if anyone wishes to test the new version. Remember to remove the old version first, then install the new one (installing over the same folder may lead to some unexpected errors).

 

[The Bowman]

Found the server.

Go to play now. MP nick: Tractor

I tested this mod last Sunday and I must say it's very nice (I can't say I was impressed because I was told it was good ), at least what I got to play (maps, the new troops, the thrown spear).

I'm looking forward to play a more when I get a chance.

Here's a screenshot of the new Arena mode screen layout, and also a peek at what the bandits look like for those who haven't yet tried the mod.

Atlas Novus mod is now hosted on Sacred_Band_server. So download the mod and enjoy 

Edit: Test end. Next in future 

Bandits are cool. And knifes also.

Harmast I will check logs, if I notice something wrong I will send PM.

That's great news guys, that's a great server I'll pop by to spectate and maybe join in for a few rounds.

 

[Harmast]

Thanks for the test, it was great fun!

Some bugs were found, hopefully I'll be able to find and fix them for the next version. Everyone who participated, hopefully you can post some comments/critique on the new features, and the maps too.

*Edit*

And post bug reports too if you can!

 

[TheAsperge]

I don't have any critic, sorry... 
Twas fun indeed

Floating flags, spawnpoints and instant kill water. All of these could use some more tweakage.

 

[Kazzan]

Any screenshots of the new maps?

Aye, that's true But don't worry, everything will be fixed eventually. This is a new mod, so bugs do happen. And modding multiplayer is especially hard to test and debug.

After I upload the next update I'll take screenshots of all the maps in the mod (old and new).
