Gamemode Guide: Snowball Fight!

Snowball Fight is a seasonal gamemode available publicly between October and March and available year-round on LambdaNet.

We support the creation of maps for Snowball Fight and maps are fairly simple to create.

Prerequisites

Make sure you've installed Hammer++ via Content Authoring Tools and that you've installed the "Snowball Fight!" FGD file.

Rules

When creating a snowball fight map, there are some rules we enforce if you are aiming for acceptance into the game.

  • Maps should be snow themed (Duh!)
  • Maps should be fairly small

Required Entities

There are only three required entities that make up a Snowball Fight! map.
