Defending the Monolith is the new teamplay mod for Shogo that we are currently developing. DTM is a goal oriented, class based mod. Each team will be required to defend a Monolith. The Monolith plays a role similar to the flag in CTF but has some noteable differences. The Monolith objects remain in each teams base for the duration of the game. The goal of each team is to break through the enemy resistance and destroy their Monolith. When one of the teams manage to destroy the Monolith they win the level.
DTM Release Version 2.0
=======================
It is recommended that you delete any old DTM rezs out of your custom directory.
IMPORTANT FOR SERVERS:
----------------------
Only maps that begin with DTM_ will work with this mod. Included in this rez are 3 maps DTM_Gauntlet (by Smoth) and DTM_Siege (by Entrafis) and DTM_Run_Bastard_Run (by Niall), these are sure to work and are recommended as they are good fun to play on. New maps are being worked on and you can check Planetshogo.com for the latest maps.
What to Do :
------------
You now have version 2.0 of DTM. This version only works with Shogo v2.2. Included in the zip file is the dtmv2.rez which you should move to your custom directory. DtmServ.exe, which is the stand alone server, should be placed right in your shogo directory. And this text file that you can keep or delete, it is recommended that you keep it though as some information may come in handy.
A new feature that we added are emotions, you have to bind these to keys inside of you autoexec.cfg unfortunately. By pressing keys you can make pictures appear over your characters heads to show happy, mad, need of medic, or need of an airlift. The bindings are as follows:
for the addactions add:
AddAction MadDialog 80
AddAction MedicDialog 81
AddAction LiftDialog 82
AddAction HappyDialog 83
and under the rangebinds add
rangebind "##keyboard" "A" 0.000000 0.000000 "MadDialog"
rangebind "##keyboard" "R" 0.000000 0.000000 "MedicDialog"
rangebind "##keyboard" "G" 0.000000 0.000000 "LiftDialog"
rangebind "##keyboard" "Z" 0.000000 0.000000 "HappyDialog"
You can change a,r,g, and z to whatever you like.
If you have any questions while in the game, press ~ and type help and it will bring up a list of commands that you can use.
Have fun.

DTM Overview:
Defending the Monolith is the new teamplay mod for Shogo that we are currently developing. DTM is a goal oriented, class based mod. Each team will be required to defend a Monolith. The Monolith plays a role similar to the flag in CTF but has some noteable differences. The Monolith objects remain in each teams base for the duration of the game. The goal of each team is to break through the enemy resistance and destroy their Monolith. When one of the teams manage to destroy the Monolith they win the level.
Classes :
---------
Rocketeer - The Rocketeer is a lightweight MCA class. This MCA is not as heavily armoured as some of the other classes but he makes up for this in speed and manuverablity. The Rocketeer is especially unique in that it has a Jet Propulsion Unit that gives it the ability of flight. His speed and ability to pick up teammates and drop them in other places makes him a valuable addition to the team.
Heavy Weapons - The Heavy Weapons Mech is the slowest of the bunch but he also carries the most firepower, if he had a rocketeer to fly him into the other teams base he could do massive amounts of damage. He also has the highest armor and health of all the mechs.
Sniper - The Sniper is the smallest class. This MCA is the least armoured but he makes up for this in the sniper rifle power. The sniper, when roosted, is a powerful adversary. The sniper rifle when zoomed does 500 damage, which is enough to kill nearly everyone with the first shot. When the sniper rifle is not zoomed in it only does 15 damage per shot. The sniper has limited health and armor which make him a relatively easy kil l if he gets hit or caught out in the open.
Demolitionist - The demoman now has a deathcharge which has a small blast radius but does alot of damage. He also carries a lith killer which is a slow moving rocket mainly used to destroy the monolith. He is the second strongest mech after the heavy weapons mech.
Soldier - The soldier is the most well rounded class. He carries a shotgun, machine gun and a rocket launcher. He is the same speed as the Demoman.
Medic - The Medic has the ability to heal other players as well as the monolith with his heal gun. He also has the ability to make other players sick, which will drain their health rather quickly.
