INF Map Preview

Presenting “DM-INF-Rural Reload” a overhauled edition of the old “Tiger Hunt” map

As soon as the window decoration is coded, this map will be ready to ship.

Along with the dynamic window decorations, the other new improvements include...

Working doors in all the houses
More places to hide
More fields and crop rows
Utility poles along the road
New bushes that break up open lines of sight in high traffic areas


Any suggestions, or help with the code is welcome

If your system can play UT2k4, this map should run, I would be surprised if it didn’t.

I am using the location markers and foot sounds from Tiger Hunt V2

With the added stuff I hope to have more of a balance between CQB and sniping.

When I get a decoration that showers shiny glass when broken, and changes height location when grabbed, the map will be made available for testing.




I know the sheet fences took a lot of flack for being walk through, at first glance having blocking fences sounds like a good idea.

But with the UT engine and Inf, walk through was actually the best and most realistic way to go, so I will now address the point here.

The fences are intended only as a visual cue to indicate farmland, they are not the Berlin wall .

Farm fences tend to be about three feet to four feet tall light fencing, attached to four to five foot tall posts, hardly an insurmountable impediment to trained soldiers, let alone the average farm hand.

If the fences where solid, that would mean BSP problems in a map that already treads precariously near BSP holes (I already have had to remove the underground bunker tunnels, which solved a lot of BSP problems, they where not much use as they where)

Also if the fences where solid, players would perch atop the wire like birds, to gain a better view over nearby shrubbery (would be humorously surreal).

Now imagine in such a big map running out of enough stamina to jump above knee height, the player would be stuck staring over the pasture fence like a dumb cow, chewing the cud till their stamina returned (its frustration I think players would rather do without).

The beta is available here. It comes in two styles, ones with breaking windows, and a newer (more lagging one) with widows that not only break but also can be manually opened with the grab key.

No rush on the testing, I have some other stuff I also need to do if it gets put on a server let me know.

Yes it is the new windows that is causing the lag, for each tick of game time, each window does a radius check to see if any nearby actor is grabbing, which is fine for one or two Claymores, but just was not the way to go with the windows.
They really need to be made a subclass of the Inf decoration class, since its Grab function is handled by the player pawn.

As for EAS, any suggestions for objectives?

Will look into the dark tree quirk

Updating the location markers is last on the list since location details may change.

Missing some needed packages for Brikby such as
GROZSND.uax
And an attack chopper one also so far, may be more.
