With the release of 1.0, we are proud to announce this new mappack! Such mappacks from the past, like the Special Forces Mappack, were released to allow for some new and more interesting geography to build on. It only seemed right that we would release a Armored Fury and Euro Forces Mappack in addition to the Special Forces Mappack.
Notice:
You need to own and install the battlefield 2 expansion packs in order to play these maps in sandbox.
If you have your settings on on high some random crashes may occur. It is recommended that you run your texture settings on medium.
And make sure you carefully read the Information part in the Special Forces Installer.
We'd like to thank our fans for waiting so patiently. Sandbox 1.0 will be released in a week. No more teasers, no more beta nonsense...it's final now. While we put the finishing touches on this release, here's a chance to get yourself up to speed on what's new.
Sandbox 1.0 brings lots of improvements and new features to the table. The first thing you'll notice is the totally revamped interface. We've added a simplified server browser that lets you hop into a game quickly without having to worry about messing with the server filters. Once you start playing, you'll notice the new spawn buttons that feature pictures of each of the 195 spawnable objects and vehicles. Of course, Sandbox 1.0 includes an even greater variety of vehicles from the world of Battlefield 2, as well as some custom vehicles from great BF2 modders like SatNav.
The kit selection screen has been streamlined with the ability to spawn with any of the core BF2 kits from all three teams, in addition to the usual Construction and Zombie kits you know so well. To help those with aspirations of reconstructing Burj Dubai, we've added a jetpack to the construction kit that lets you quickly fly around without worrying about taking damage crashing into things.
The previous release of Sandbox brought you the ability to "group" your creations and save them online, making it so much easier to trap your friends in boxes when they weren't looking. With this release, we're introducing the ability to animate your objects and groups. You can build a garage with a door that opens, a house with a functioning elevator, or a death box that crushes your friend to death after you've trapped him inside. Sandbox is truly fun for all ages!
Over the years, Sandbox has had an awesome community of fans that have modified our code to add their own features. We can say with confidence that Sandbox would not still be going without these adventorous coders. To help you guys out, we've completely rebuilt the gameplay logic from the ground up, allowing for addons to be created that easily plug in and add new features to Sandbox. It is now much easier to customize Sandbox to your liking and make sure your server is the most popular one of all. The guide to creating addons is already accessible on the Sandbox Wiki so you can get a head start.
And now, from the mind of Sir. XaliaS, the man who brought us Sandbox Jet Powered and Xailing, another trailer showcasing yet another cool thing that's only possible in Sandbox. Check it out:
I did get the beta out the door before midnight - there are witnesses that can vouch for me. Unfortunately, the package managed to corrupt itself in transit, so I took it down shortly afterwards. I took this time to fix a couple of small glitches with the updater, and it’s reuploading now. you can go download it now.
I’ve created a Sandbox 1.0 forum, please commence with discussion of the beta there. Feel free to post suggestions, and when you find problems, put them in the Bugs & Errors subforum. I’m going to post a few instructional threads there in a second.
A few days ago Elxx released the 0.5e patch and promised us a short movie, took a bit longer but it's here.
"As promised (at some point), here’s a quick clip showing off a few of the new things in Sandbox 1.0 that we’ve been working on this past week. I threw it together in 10 minutes…it’s hardly production quality, so it’s up to you to figure out what’s happening."
