Manual Installation:

If you already have a sbx2142 directory in Battlefield 2142\mods, delete it. Then, extract this to your Battlefield 2142\mods directory.

———————

To play, activate the mod in Custom Games and then create a new local game on Suez Canal Conquest 64-player.

NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EARLY BETA AND IS NOT SUPPORTED. ELXX WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING DIES ON YOUR PC. SERIOUSLY.

Make sure you delete any old Sandbox 2142 betas.

This new version is based on the latest BF2:Sandbox core (0.4a) so all the features work just like BF2:Sandbox, except for loading/saving. And thanks to WoozleWazzle on the TBF2142 forums, I got a nice complete list of all the objects in 2142 - and you can now spawn all of them in Beta 2, so disregard the “y/x” column (sorry, Woozle). Just type
@s objectname
into the chat. All the vehicles should work too, except for the titans…that will be resolved later.

The Brilliant List of Awesomeness

If you find a reasonably-sized object that’s good for building, please post the name of it here in the comments and I shall add it to the upcoming spawn button menu thingy.

Alright, we had an interesting first day after the BF2DM release. After solving some, uh, issues with the Sir. server, I joined up and it quickly escalated to complete mayhem. Yeah, this thing doesn’t quite work well if you have more than 15 players. Hence, this is what I plan to do for the next release:

• Make all the arenas 4x larger with “sector-based” spawning
• Tune down bunnyhopping
• Add supply crate spawns
• More spawn points with larger camping radius

And thanks to TBF2 for the reviews of Sandbox and BF2DM.

BF2Deathmatch 0.1 has been sent off to TotalBF2…it’ll show up sometime today so be sure to grab it. Trust me, it’s loads of fun.

0.1 can be considered a beta (though it’s very stable and works well), please feel free to post feedback once you’ve had a chance to play.
