Jump Fortress Bootcamp
Hello everyone, we are very proud to announce that we are hosting a beginner friendly boot camp starting the middle of next month. This boot camp is done in partnership with Jump Academy and Coaching Central TF2.
Huge thanks to them for wanting to help us out with this and all other parties like Momentum Mod, Kritzkast, and Passtime TF2 that are ok with promoting it.
Want to participate?
Anyone from wood to bronze division will be able to participate in this by attending carefully crafted lectures, getting a coach assigned to them and participating in the final cup to decide who will become Rookie of the Year.
Signups will be open from the 12th to the 18th of September, so keep the following dates in your agenda if you are interested:
Jump Fortress Bootcamp & Rookie Cup dates
Signups: 12th-18th of September
Bootcamp: 19th-27th of September
Rookie Cup: 3rd of October
Want to help out with coaching, or simply learn more, pls dm me on Discord.
Thanks for waiting! We have completed our migration of our main EU game servers over from a weak virtual machine (VPS) to a significantly more powerful dedicated (bare-metal) machine.
We can finally run full 32 slots again for our *jump_academy2* servers, which previously struggled to host even half the number of players. This means we can keep our players, teachers, and staff together better with just two servers while we repurpose the third server for future use. Please join these two servers for a livelier experience!
Since we have kept our IP addresses, your bookmarks will not have to change and you can connect like usual:
Two years after the public debut of the arena bot, the code is now available as open source under a GPLv3 license. This was designed as a generic PvP bot that could replicate class-specific skill mechanics, which was at least partly demonstrated with the soldier class in the Market Gardening Arena through rocket jumping and market gardening. While rudimentary and often buggy, it is a work-in-progress that could be experimented with to build unique bot behaviors and simulations potentially more interesting than what is offered by the game's built-in TFBot.
Feel up to the technical challenge? Have a look, play around with the released dev build (nav mesh required), and maybe even contribute to extending MGABOT's set of behaviors and skills. Feedback, bug reports, and code contributions are welcomed!
