Server Patch
There is a patch availible for dedicated servers.
If you do not host a dedicated server, you don't particularly need this patch.

Fixes:
This fixes the following bugs:
-Players no longer are permanently zoomed in if they are zoomed in prior to the round restarting with the sniper rifle.
-Boxes will now only fall if there are players in the server, preventing overflow errors and server crashes.
-Server config file fixed.
-Included a bigger map named mb_hyrule for players to play on. Should support more players than the previously released maps.
 
The patch is availible from the following sites:
 
New!

Master Blasters Beta Released!
After all the hours—nay—decades it took us to develop this mod we are proud to bring you Master Blasters Beta! We’ve included some download links below so you can get to the killing (aka: frustration) as soon as possible! If killing is your business, and your business is suffering from the recent market downturn… consider this the high-yield dividend game you’ve been looking for! (eat your heart out Jim Cramer)

Here are the links:

::Internode.on.net
::FileFront.com
::GameSpot.com
::FilePlanet.com
::FileFactory.com
::Ampedmods.com
::Our ModDB Profile

Here on the Master Blasters team we regularly troll around looking for suggestions and feedback from our mod. So therefore, we invite everyone to hop on over to our forums and post whatever is on their minds, whether that be your latest blog on Britney Spears’ rehab developments or flaming us for tainting the prestigious Half-life 2 community with such a rubble of a game. Whatever the case, like a midget at a urinal, we are going to stay on our toes and do our best.

And finally, we’ve included a short list of instructions that should make you be successful not only for yourself, but for your country as well. Here we are:

1. Download the mod. (see above for links)
2. Install the mod and read the text file during installation. (parent supervision may be required when completing this step)
3. Serve up some killin', or if you feel compelled to, host up a server so others can serve up some killin' with you.

If every step is a success, your screen will look exactly like shown below.

Success!


See you guys in game!

Exciting News from Master Blasters!
Master Blasters has been chosen (with much amazement to the team) to be published in the next upcoming releases of the German-made PC GAMES and PC ACTION magazine! (and I thought they only made Volkswagens over there) Nothing can compare to such a great opportunity for our team so therefore; as free men, we take pride in the words, “Ich bin ein Berliner."

We here on the Master Blasters Team have always enjoyed playing on some of the custom maps that our favorite games have to offer. Whether the game is Counterstrike, Quake, or Leisure Suit Larry, customs maps have always inspired some of the best times in our gaming travels. Therefore, we are releasing an instructional text file along with a sample map to give some inside information on how to design a map as unusual as the ones included in Master Blasters. The files can be found here or you can find it included within the mod’s release this Thursday.

If you missed last week’s news post, we have included a small, but inspiring background story for our game. Here’s a little snippet of what to expect from this masterpiece:

“The centuries-old tale of the Master Blasters Tournament is a legend shrouded in mystery. In a time and place void of a written language, the history of the Master Blasters Tournament had been passed down in the form of pictograph murals and verses committed to memory…”

And finally, we must say that this game does NOT include pirates you can play (atleast not in this version)…but per request, here’s a little something that you pirate fans can enjoy when you ARRRRRRRR playing this game at home.

I look forward to owning you noobs on Thursday!

Master Blasters is Coming Soon!
As the day of reckoning comes upon us and the final touches are being made, we here on the Master Blasters team have been receiving a slew of messages and emails from people who have suggestions for future versions of Master Blasters. Anywhere from weapon ideas, different game modes, to story ideas have been thrown our way over the past week and the feedback is much appreciated as we hope to please all of gamer-kind with this abomination. Therefore, we have decided to announce that the opposing team versus the cowboys are—you guessed it—Ninjas! What better person to battle gun-totting rednecks than a sword-wielding maniac dressed in black?

By request and in preparations for next week’s release we are preparing a short background story revealing some of the behind-the-scenes plot to bring the viewers up to speed with some of reasons for why such opposing culture icons are forced to do battle! Whereas depth has not been a strong attribute of this team from the start, understanding the inner turmoil that these characters live with may give the players further insight to their own inner being. Or this could just be the result of what happens when the local grocery store charges less for beer than they do milk. Whatever the case, the story is will be posted on our ModDB profile as well as our website within the next week.

And finally we are proud, yet again, to release some photos for the viewing pleasure of our readers. (Warning: We are not responsible for any heart-attacks due to the overwhelming excitement resulting from the viewing of these photos.)

Master Blasters is Coming and Needs Your Help!
Our mod is nearing its completion date very soon and we are looking for members of the Half-life 2 community to host servers for its soon-to-be beta release! If you haven’t heard of our mod before don’t worry, few have. (I blame global warming.) To put it simply, our mod tries to focus on the fast-paced, old school days of Quake where First Person Shooter games ruled the net and the only talk of RPGs were about what weapon you just used to blow the crap out of your latest opponent. We have also added a little variation to the meaningless killing by bringing the game style of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. which allows the players to use a variety of weapons to force their enemies off the platforms and laugh at them mercilessly as they fall head-first into the ground, spikes, water, or whatever happens to be below them. We hope to release a beta within the next two weeks and would love to see some servers up on the net for people to enjoy. If you are interested, please contact me at grayjamn@gmail.com and you will be one of the first people to own all the splendor that is “Master Blasters” on your computer before your friends do by two week’s time. As the unofficial motto of our team states that “Game play > Graphics”, we have included some pictures below to give our viewers the eye-orgasms they need to get them through the day. Enjoy.
