Since the release of the map voting update, it has been rather splendid watching players voting for their favourite maps and controlling the official public servers in a way not possible before.
Additionally, we’d like to extend a thank you to those who submitted bug reports post the release of the update. We are pleased to announce that a good portion of these bugs have now been addressed with the release of this bug fix update along with some small changes to the map voting setup.
Along with reading the changelog, why not also take a look at what the community has been up below to since the release of the map voting and SDK update.
Community Spotlight
With the recent addition of modded scripts to the SDK the modding community of Holdfast wasted no time creating some already impressive scripts to assist gameplay on community run servers.
There is some real talent within the modding community and we look forward to seeing what is to come next for Holdfast modding. To celebrate this talent we caught up with some of the modders and map makers to showcase some of their brilliant work.
Auto Admin Script by eLF
eLF has been an active member of the Holdfast map making and modding community since the SDK’s release and with the release of the scripting update they have already been hard at work making an auto admin script for private events to manage things such as ‘fire out of line’ and other rules. Take a look at the gif above to see the script in action. We also asked eLF what got them into modding Holdfast, here’s what they had to say.
“Between running linebattle events and competitive matches, I often find myself spending as much time hosting events as playing the game. So once I got invited to the beta for the SDK update, I became focused on automating as much as I could before the update was released. So far I'm very pleased with my AutoAdmins results in the linebattle testing it has completed.”
Modded uniforms by UberJuice
Like eLF, UberJuice has been at the forefront of Holdfast modding since almost its conception and has produced some stunning maps and uniforms during their time.
“Creating mods for Holdfast has motivated me to dive deeper into 3D work. In this past year of making maps and uniforms I have learned a ton of new skills and ultimately a new passion. Regardless if I’m trying to recreate a uniform from an old painting or dressing a chimp up in a British uniform - the creative outlet feels limitless. The greatest reward for it all is seeing a battlefield of players enjoying my work.”
