New Map

Greebo · Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2002 10:56 pm Post subject:

Lo peeps!
Thought I'd take a time out from building this damn thing to tell you that I'm building it

I'm doing a new map - it's gonna be called "Revolt" it's gonna be MASSIVE.
It's kinda based on a load of peasants in a village revolting against the authority and taking over the castle.
So there is an entire village and a big castle in there for y'all to play with (even got a working drawbridge...well it goes down - don't want it to go back up).

Currently it's only really half built - and that's only in the layout stages however once that kind of thing is done - I'm gonna release a version for layout suggestions and suchlikes. It'll have to come with a big text document giving directions where to go so you know what's happening (I won't have put signs or anything in).

Anyhoo - I'll let everyone know when the layout version is done.
Will appreciate all feedback I get

We will be ready and waiting for it. If it's half as good as the last one it will be great.

Are you going to have some custom lyrics put to music for it?

Um....not in the map, no.
Will have loads of sounds in it (something breakout lacked) though.

I dabbled in mapping for a while. Nothing serious mind you. Manily I quit because I couldn't figure out how to make a door... how exactly DO you make doors?

Last year I actually scrounged for Worldcraft, and I found, and installed...Unfortunately, I had NO IDEA how to use it

I just kind of gave up, I mean, I think if I actually took the time to figure it out, my school work would suffer

Doors are easy

There's a thing called func_door
Guess what that does

There's a ton of tutorials out there for WC - TF Mapped recently opened - it's dedicated to mapping for TFC.
And Valve ERC is also good - though it mainly deals with straight HL mapping.

I will be looking foward to it. I took a break from my map because I was almost ready for a beta and the sky freaks out on me. In large outside areas it randomly disappears and reappears. I figured some tings out with compling with certian light features, but it was getting to be to much. I think I'll start back on it in the future.

Just out of curiosity, how are these peasants going to get assault cannons and rocket launchers and stuff? Maybe you can make some new classes: Guy with a shovel, Guy with a hoe, Guy with a rake, Molotov cocktail guy, and the powerful Guy with rusty pieces of jagged metal (he can infect you).

Bah
Goldenspy, don't ruin a perfectly good plot

No-one (I think) asked how prisoners in a desert camp god rocket launchers etc.

Greebo, I also cant make a decal show up in game, i can place them in the editor, but they wont show. How do i make it show up in game?

Never used decals

Best bet is to look at this website:
