Tanks and Rogues
Quake III Arena mod | Released Sep 1, 2008
Tanks and Rogues is a serverside modification for Quake III Arena with heavy focus on teamplay. The core idea of Tanks and Rogues is that everything is a team effort. To kill an enemy tank, first your rogue has to disable the enemy's shield, then before it regenerate, your tank must hit the enemy tank with conventional weapons to actually kill him. This creates a new kind of teamplay, a tight teamplay seldom seen in FPS games, a teamplay that requires you to focus as much on your teammates as on your enemies. For extra spice, Tanks and Rogues includes cool features as the Power Taunt and the Team Grenade. The former is an awesome explosion activated by capturing a Power Taunt item and then using the Quake III Arena 'gesture'-feature simultaneously with and in proximity to your teammates. The Team Grenade is a very powerful grenade that will only detonate if hit by a rogue's weapon. It is perfect for clearing out a room of campers but again requires delicate teamplay.
Tanks and Rogues 1.9.19.21
Description
Here's new feedback features, a tweak of the score system and more.
This release brings several new features to improve feedback of actions in the game. Some changes has been made to the Power Taunt and the Team Grenade to make the game a bit more friendly. Importantly, killing rogues no longer produces scores, only tanks will count to your scores.
Changelog
features
- You get an award for knocking an enemy down into a death pit.
- You get an assist award if a Team Grenade detonation of yours killed an enemy.
- You get an award if a you detonate a Team Grenade before it has settled on the ground.
- It is now possible to spot which team a Team Grenade belongs to. Twice a second they will emit a flash of the correct team colour.
- In Capture The Flag, you can now drop the flag if you like by using the new command '\dropflag'. You would be wise to bind a key to this command: \bind h dropflag

Hmm, it looks like I actually tagged this build 1.9.19.24. The bump in the last number corresponds to a few bugs fixed during development of this release. They were not present in the last release anyway so they aren't relevant. I just thought you should know why it says .24 in the game and .21 here. Good Luck!
