Besides the abilities showcased last Saturday and scheduled for this release (placing a sentry gun, placing an ammo pickup, placing a med-kit), the following features were added:
- the human engineer has a blowtorch:
The main usage for it is to cut open a welded door, or to weld shut another one.
- a similar feature was added for the predator engineer, only this time it's torch is laser based:
- another item added to the predator engineer's inventory is the Netgun sentry. Just like the regular sentry gun, this is also a defensive item. It works by shooting nets and ensnare enemy players, making them vulnerable to other players or to even other sentry guns:
And that's pretty much it for this week. Don't forget to download the latest alpha build, even only to check out the special abilities, in-game.

The idea it's great guys, I'll try the mod.
Hey, I'm glad that you like the mod. Please let me know what you think of it.
gotta say, +1 for just attempting this. The mod tools with the AvP games aren't anywhere near as good as other games out there. Takes more dedication! :)
be sure to get planetavp.com to put this up. More interested people out there! :)
Hey, thanks for the advice. At the moment I'm posting news at:
- www.avp2fortress.co.nr
- www.forumplanet.com/planetavp
- www.lithfaq.com/forums
- www.avp2files.com (also in one of their forum threads)
- and www.moddb.com
Just because of that, posting news can take a lot of time :))
Anyways, thanks for the advice. I'll contact David Shipley from planetavp.com, perhaps get the mod on the front page ;)
This is a great idea, and one that I'm surprised nobody has attempted before. I don't currently have AvP2 installed to test this, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this. :)
Well, we'll try to keep the weekly schedule, releasing a new alpha build each Friday, arround 18:00 GMT.
