KTX

Kombat Teams eXtreme (KTX) is a QuakeWorld® server modification designed to enhance gameplay and provide players with several different playmodes.

Inspired by KTPro (a non opensource QuakeWorld® server modification), KTX has been developed to provide the QuakeWorld© community with a more evolving opensource code and is based on Kombat Teams 2.21.

Information

IMPORTANT: For a complete guide on how to setup and configure a KTX-server, head over to the KTX wiki pages

KTX also provides administrators with a lot of features to control how the server behaves and what the players have access to and can change, along with detailled statistics.

Play modes provided

• Coop
• FFA
• TDM (1on1, 2on2, 3on3, 4on4...)
• Clan Arena
• Midair
• CTF
• Jawnmode
• Grenmode
• Instagib
• Race - go to point A to point B as fast as you can!
• Bloodfest - Survival mode, you vs monsters
• Berzerk* - not a dedicated play modes, as it can be activated for almost all of the modes above

Usage

You can change maps, change modes, change many things. For a list of commands, when connected to a KTX server type commands.
To change the mode, just type in the console the mode you want. example: 1on1, or ctf.
To change the map, just type in the console the name of the map. example: dm2, or aerowalk.
KTX by default uses a "match" mode. This means every player is required to type ready to start a match. Before the match starts, every connected player can run and shoot around, this is called PREWAR. After everyone's ready, a countdown will start, and the game will start.

Advantages over KTPro

• Open source (GPL)
• Actively developed
• Enable/disable any weapon in DMM4 using /noweapon <weaponname>
• /gren_mode (grenades only explode on direct impact) - DMM4 only
• +scores shows seconds to players (useful when joining late)
• Additional endgame statistics
• Spawnfrag duration increased to 2 seconds

Disadvantages to KTPro

• DMM6-8 is missing

Differences with KTPro

• /cmd silence is the same thing as /silence
• /cmd lock is the same thing as /lock. In KTPro /cmd lock locks the server for 15 seconds
• /cmd ban is missing
• IP admins are not fully added yet
• When players drown during prewar, they get bubbles over their head
