ABOUT Stop that Tank!

Tank crossover with payload maps, robots vs. humans, choose your side!

Description:
Stop that Tank! (STT/tank mod) is a TF2 mod that replaces the cart in payload maps with the tank boss from Mann-vs-Machine mode. The tank moves by itself, following the cart path and deploys its payload in the finale. In the event the tank is destroyed, a player-controlled giant robot is spawned and has a chance to win by capturing the remaining points & delivering the bomb.

In Payload maps:
The BLU team (robots) must protect the tank and escort the bomb carrier.
The RED team must destroy the tank/giant before they are able to deploy their bomb.

In Payload Race maps:
Two robot teams, two tanks. Slow the enemy tank by damaging it, and clear attackers off your team's tank to let it speed up. Shortly into the round, a player from each team is chosen to become a giant robot, who must then face off in a battle to the death!

If anyone wants to play this on the latest TF2 Version, here you go: 142.132.197.62:40003
Most things should be the same, I just fixed some things for me and made small changes.

Bots are active with a quota of 30. Most maps I have on the server have from me hand-fixed NAV-Mashes and a custom SM-Plugin that should handle those bots at least acceptable to play with. (some official maps like badwater I was not able to edit the nav, so they are a bit broken)

It sucks that this is dead.

I hosted this gamemode for years but I can't make it to work anymore without giants crashing the servers. (Linux)
If I ever see a solution I will host servers with Stop that Tank again, been a great run for those years!
