Ouchie...make sure you zip up the files now...so if it goes off again you can pull those out.

Hey guys check this out...my next 1v1 map looks like a band-aid

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

Aight, it needs some jump pad work, and I need to change the team flags... then it's ready for testing.

CTF-BuA-W00tiP00

looks like another suicidal map

 

[TAZTG]

WootiPoo, what a name... I am guessing massive suicides would be the norm. Winner is the player with least amount of suicides. here's an idea add some safety railings that way we can't walk off the edge. Make it high enough to dodge over but not walk over.

Safety rails??

You guys should be reminded of a 2k3 map we used to play all the time... I know Boney'll get it.

As far as suicides go; there are 2 spawns per base (it's a 1v1/2v2 map), and they start in the middle of the walkway, facing the walkway... so no spawning and falling right into a hole.
The problem I'm having with the jump pads is that the top 3 don't arc... and they need to.
I might have to place special pathnodes in there just for those pads.

 

[Bonecrusher]

no no no, you change the velocity...hang on a sec ill find it for you. You are using the UTJumppad or the kicker?

UTJumpPad Properties>>JumpPad>>JumpZModifier = # (increase it for more arc). Rebuild AI paths to see the new line.


xKicker Properties>>xKicker>>KickVelocity>>Z = # (Increase it).

Wub u lurk

Nice map. Great name! Is this map supposed to remind us of that one where the skybox never worked? (CTF-Arial-Assault.ut2)

Err... no, that's not the one I had in mind, but keep trying!

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

Alrighty guys... got something different for ya.
Instead of posting pics, I'm posting 2 small demo files for ya to look at the next 2 maps I'll be putting out.
There's demos of W00tiP00 and Hammer...

Put em in your UT2004/Demos folder and load em up from Settings > Community.

 

[Bonecrusher]

you do know you need the map file to watch the demo right?

 

[TAZTG]

Autoplay, required if thats the mapfile.. Lurk, create a AVI or Movie..

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

Didn't know the map was required.... my bad.
So how do I convert to avi?

 

[TAZTG]

In UT.. Where you play Demo's there is a Create AVI.. Give it a shot!!

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

Cool, I'll repost in the morning.
Thanks TAZ.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Ouchie, make it short and sweet if you can. Converting to AVI is hell on the puter. You get 5 FPS or less while doing it. Its rather sickening.

Yeah, I figured I'd get one of em done last night before work, but it took so damn long that I had to leave before it was 1/2 finished.
I'll try to make em as short (and informative) as possible.

OMG if you get 5 on your Frag Box then Lurker might get .5!!!

 

[Bonecrusher]

True...

I dunno what I'm gonna do about my fragbox. It's rebooted on its own several times this week. Its weird. It wasn't doing it for weeks, and now its doing it everyday. I think eventually I'm just gonna buy a new PSU, vid card, and HD. That should fix my problems.

 

[TAZTG]

Have you had a chance to do the trouble shooting steps I suggested. Swap Cards and see if the problem goes away.. If it does then its the card!! etc..

Problem like that would drive me batty.. I had a similar problem on a old rig I built back in Jan.2002
ABIT KR7A:
AMD-1900 XP
PC-2400 Corsair
etc..

This was one hell of a gaming rig. I had one problem, it kept crashing. It would do it while playing, while idling. I reformatted numerous times, tried different GC's. Nothing worked. I was getting plenty pissed. I ended up selling for 500bucks and purchased my Current Big Blue Rig!! The guy who bought it figured out that the Mobo only supported PC-2100 Ram. He had some and said it ran stable as hell.. I read all the manuals and specs but I was reading the New Ones based on Version 2 of that MOBO. I had Version 1 which only supported 2100.

Live and Learn.. I didn't try swapping out the RAM but I tested it at a nearby shop and it was good.

Where was I going with this...... Oh Troubleshoot to find the cause.. Odds are its the GC, PS or Ram..

CTF4-BuA-Thorns-v2 is underway.
BSP is 85% done, and I should have something to show you in the am.
