Heavy Balls is team deathmatch dodgeball in funny style. Game includes two teams (Red and Blue team) and Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: deathmatch maps support with admin panel for create, remove or edit items on every map and own vote map menu. Items are saveable for each map. Special box can be create only one time.
The player has a choice between five type of balls:
Fast ball - fast throwing
Triple ball - throw three balls at one time, Damage upgrade is disabled
Rocket ball - explode on touch, rocket jump
Bomb ball - good for throwing balls in the rooms
Strong ball - high damage (2), destroy other balls on touch
The gamemode have 4 types items. Ammo box, health box, trampoline and special box in the center of the map.
Special box gives 15 of types special abilities for the character:
1. Godmode - nobody can kill you
2. Invisibility - nobody can see you, but if anybody hit you, then invisibility will be disable
3. Full health - you will get full health
4. Full backpack of balls - you will get full ammo of any types of balls
5. Freezing balls - freeze player on hit for 3 seconds
6. Extra speed - your speed of running and power of jumping will be at the maximum level
7. Super shotgun - you can fires 5 balls at one moment
8. Rentgen vision - you will see enemy players through walls
9. Halo - other players will be blinded if they look at you
10. Brutal fart - all players near you will be killed
11. Heart attack - you will die
12. Jackpot - you will get 2000 of money
13. Horror box - you can choose a enemy who will be killed
14. Fire balls - when you'll hit someone he starts to burn but only if player isn't in the water
15. Disco mod - similar like ravebreak
For each player kill, attacker gets 100 of money (for hit player 10 of money)
Earned money player can use to upgrade some abilities like a player damage, run speed, jump power, start health, ammo and heath from boxes money per kill, time for bonuses, start ammo and count of throwing balls.
In my opinion the game is hard for thinking what ability player must to upgrade. Another thing is accuracy and speed, but it is fun. :dance:
Thanks [NL]WhiteDarkness for host beta server, ELjanoCZE for logo and Sabsteam group for ideas.

This looks really cool! It looks like one of those snowball throwing mini games but with dodgeballs.
Definitely an awesome gamemode. One idea: in some maps, there should be a side for each team with an uncrossable line. That would make it feel more like dodgeball. Also, make it so you aren't as accurate with the balls.

The accuracy is what makes it fun though
This gamemode is legend! Definitely want to play this some day, keep up the good work :)
We need more gamemodes like this.
Looks absolutely amazing.
can we have the login information to the test server?
Are there any servers about? This looks awesome as shit.
Looks like a great gamemode, I'd love to play this!
Looks like a fun, well made garrysmod gamemode. Thats one of the gamemodes that I wouldn't mind playing In my spare time.
I'm sorry. This server is only for testing. Maybe next time. And thanks for the positive feedback. :)
A game mode that is
A. An actual game?
B. actual fun?
This almost doesn't feel like gmod. I have seen so many hardcore "survival" gamemodes that this breath of fresh mindless fun is amazing. Good job
Every weekend and friday i can run server for this gamemode. Here is ip address 94.23.112.8:27025. It is our main server and except weekends server runs on sandbox. Try to find the most bugs and write it here. I added 3 new things into Special box and map is now little bigger. Next update I want to add some achievements and make abilities buyable. Here is 2 new screens:

I could run this 24/7 if you wanted.
I'd also be willing to run a 24/7 server for this in Europe. Offer's there if you're interested.
Thanks guys. Maybe later when gamemode will be done. :smile:
I'd happily run a 24/7 US central even in beta mode ;)

I doubt he'd need someone to host the server when he already has a test server up.

He can only run it on weekends though since weekdays it runs in sandbox.
I added new shop system where everybody can buy some improvements for character and time length of bonuses (present item). Next i added new bonuses, effects and fixed bugs. Map is now little bigger. In the menu is achievement button but maybe i will remove it. Achievements in this game are unnecessary. Next update i want to add tf2 maps support because i dont want to make next maps. Excuse me for my english if someone finds a mistake write it please. Here is video:

I'm really excited about this game mode, but playing on your server today was really weird. About every 15 seconds or so the screen would freeze up and then jump me forward. I'm in the U.S. my ping was only 110 so I don't think it was that bad of a lag issue.
found a couple errors.
[ERROR] gamemodes/heavyballs/entities/entities/ammo_box/cl_init.lua:33: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'cur' (a nil value)
1. unknown - gamemodes/heavyballs/entities/entities/ammo_box/cl_init.lua:33
and Second is a fastdl issue where the files aren't downloading from
[url]http://cz101.vilayer.com/fastdownload/JakubS/11264/garrysmod/[/url]
when I tried to access the site it said 403 no permission
Other than that I'm excited about the game mode! :D

Also when you get the teleporter it resets you back to base with all of your health and ammo gone
Ok i fixed error with ammo box, then there isn't problem with teleport, but it is annoying and i want to change that bonus to something new. I'm sorry, Fast-dl was disabled and i don't know problem with ping and lags. Server is located in Europe and maybe it is hosting fault.
Ok, in the next update i added tf2, css, hl2dm maps support (in css maps Red team spawning on terrorist's spawn and on hl2dm maps Red team spawning on rebel's spawn) and saveable and editable items on every map. In some tf2 maps was problem with closed doors or retracted plate like in the video. Admins (if they want) can open or close these things and then these maps are now playable. Next problem was with team spawn doors in tf2 maps (they are opening for each team). Now the doors will be opened only appropriate team. Next I added small list of top 10 players on the server and fixed lots of bugs. On every reset of map money and upgrade points will be reseted (not saveable, it's better). Heavy Balls with tf2 or hl2dm maps is now really better fun than before only with one map. Now i'm really happy for this gamemode. :D

Nice can't wait till the game mode is released :D
Should rename it to Supreme Dodge ball
So, here is next update. I added item pick up notification on the right side of the screen, menu for voting maps, new desing of admin panel and 4 new bonuses. Jackpot, freezing balls, fire balls and disco mod. Of course I fixed lots of bugs, but is possible that gamemode has still some bugs. Thats all I thing.
Now Heavy Balls is available on the friends public server with 16 slots in Europe. IP 5.79.78.98:27015.
Need 4 things for survive. Accuracy, speed, tactics and good choice for buying the right upgrades :smile:
