Fortress Forever is a Source mod inspired by the earlier versions of the Team Fortress series (Team Fortress Classic and QuakeWorld Team Fortress). Our all-volunteer team has created this mod entirely from scratch and continued to develop it for over 5 years now. It was originally released in September of 2007. Fortress Forever involves two or more teams, each with 9 available classes, competing in a variety of map-determined objectives (capture the flag, territorial control, invade and defend, etc). Each class has its own unique abilities and strengths that offer extremely varied playstyles. The gameplay ranges from fast-paced, competitive, and deep to absurd and chaotic.

  • Totally free; only requires a Steam account with Source SDK Base 2006 installed.
  • Fast paced, team- and class-based gameplay
  • Faithful to the spirit of Team Fortress Classic (TFC) and QuakeWorld Team Fortress (QWTF), meaning Fortress Forever includes offhand grenades, bunnyhopping, etc
  • 10 Classes (9 + Civilian)
  • Training level and in-game hints
  • Extensive map scripting/customization using Lua

Fortress Forever 2.5.0 is now available to download on Steam for free!

Misc Resources

Abbreviated Changelog (v2.46 to v2.5.0)

Features

  • Added different kill icons for unbounced rails, single bounced rails, and double bounced rails
  • Added airshot detection
    • Airshots show in the console like so: player killed player with weapon (airshot)
    • Airshots are logged to file like so: "player" killed "player" with "weapon" (modifier "airshot")
      • The (modifier "") string only gets added if there actually was an airshot, otherwise the entire parenthetical is absent from the line
  • Added sparks/dust to the feet of rampsliders (cl_rampslidefx cvar for toggling the effects on/off, and cl_rampslidefx_* cvars for controlling how it looks/behaves)
  • Added team-colored trail to flags
  • Allowed bounced rails to collide with their shooter
  • Added hud_weaponselect cvar (briefly shows the weapon select menu whenever switching weapons when hud_fastswitch is enabled; defaulted to enabled)

Gameplay

  • Lowered the hard cap from 180% to 171%
  • Flag touch bounds have been decreased somewhat significantly: touch height is now ~65% of flag height, and touch width is now ~100% of flag width (flag touch bounds used to be larger than the flag itself in both dimensions)
  • Added a middle bhop cap - when you are over it, reduce speed by more. Currently set to 1.55 speed (620 for scout) and it has a lower pcfactor (0.3 rather than 0.65). This means downtrimping is good for one jump and reduces successive conc skim jumps without reducing the hard cap too much
  • Made HH explosive grenades (frag/mirv) work like they do in TFC (HHing a gren now simply adds 1000 speed in the direction that you're currently moving (or 950 speed straight up if you're not moving at all)
  • Capped jump pad + conc horiz and vert speed separately
  • Set jump pad horiz boost to 768 (was 1024 in 2.46)

Classes

  • Removed the single shotgun from the hwguy, medic, and pyro (see #82)
  • Removed nailgun from sniper
  • Made the sniper rifle use nails to avoid shared ammo between sniper rifle/autorifle

Maps

  • Slimmed down the number of maps included with FF
  • Improved base_shutdown.lua
    • Added built-in support for trigger-based buttons (blue_security_trigger/red_security_trigger)
    • Added built-in support for Lua-defined security shutdown length (SECURITY_LENGTH)
    • Added built-in support for turning on/off lights, brushes, trigger_ff_clips, and trigger_hurts
    • Added some helpful team-oriented trigger definitions in base_teamplay.lua
  • Added a timer on the HUD that reflects how long security is down for on all security maps
  • Reverted all IvD maps that used the time-limited-round-based system to the default IvD system (only switch teams after all caps have been captured)
  • Removed the objective icon on the flag for defenders in IvD/AvD maps (it always points to the cap point that needs to be defended instead)
  • Changed the team names in ff_dm to something more appropriate
  • Removed the map guide menu as it has never been utilized
  • Allowed the speedometer to show while spectating someone

Misc

  • Added Spanish translation by VMX and Firefox11
  • Added (incomplete) Russian localization by Gordon
  • Added Portuguese (BR) translation by Gemini Saga
  • Defaulted hud_fastswitch to 1
  • Made 0 prematch the default when using ff_restartround without a parameter (ff_setprematch is better for cases where you just want to add prematch)
  • Added hud_fastswitch and hud_weaponselect to the Fortress Options "HUD" section
  • Reverted back to the 2.4 menu background because it was pretty cool
  • Removed the map guide menu and make the Flythrough button go directly to the flythrough
  • Improved HUD font: add Latin-1 Supplement and other missing chars (adds things like custom accented chars, #, &, $, ~, etc)
  • Optimised Lua HUD network messages (send a number ID over the network rather than a string)

Fixes

  • Fixed spectators not getting their kills/deaths/fortpoints reset on restart round
  • Fixed getting a frag added when using the 'spectate' console command (it used to be to compensate for the -1 frag from suiciding)
  • Fixed grenades disappearing after falling too far
  • Fixed flags getting stuck in ceilings
  • Fixed ff_training not showing map loading info when launched from the main menu
  • Fixed ff_restartround resetting twice when called with 0 prematch time
  • Fixed unicode character support in VGUI/HUD elements
  • Fixed materials/ff/ff08_sign_up_green material using the yellow texture instead of the green one
  • Fixed the glass material in ff_dm
  • Fixed conc speed being limited for too long after using a jump pad (#80)
  • Fixed Lua HUD timers' seconds getting truncated in the wrong direction when counting down
