Hey barnEbiss I just tried the test build of your Colony map - it's very nice work so far, and I think when it's finished it could be a really great map and just right for AlienINV.

 

[barnEbiss]

I uploaded a new version added more air ducts and the aliens now can get at you in med lab they will not just stick in the air ducts now right now working on the other rooms layouts so it will be a little bit before they are done.

Hi, here's a quick list of some problems/issues I had with the Colony map - although I know it isn't finished yet, so you're probably already aware of these points:

- no weapons/pickups
- bots sometimes seem to crowd together in one room and won't go anywhere else
- brush holes/gaps in some walls such as certain parts of the ducts
- yesterday I noticed one of the sliding doors slide backwards into the wall rather than sideways when I touched it

By the way, being chased by a crawling alien through those ducts is damn scary

 

[barnEbiss]

Yah I know about those problems and some are already fixed right now working on getting the last of the air ducts in then I am going to finish adding in the last of the rooms like "baths, Dinning rooms and Ops" then fix the lighting on the inside of the colony. then I am going to start work on the outside.

Also I have to find out how to make it so the aliens can activate the doors so once they drop into a room or spawn in it they are not stuck.

And yah I already fixed that door bug

But you are happy with how it is turning out so far?

Yeah - it's really got that 'Aliens' atmosphere, I like it a lot.

EvilDrWong, making the alien crawl is a great feature and makes it seem much more of an 'animal', and looks very cool

 

[EvilDrWong]

Also I have to figure out how to make it so the aliens can activate the doors so once they drop into a room or spawn in it they are not stuck.

Change the trigger's Trigger Type to TT_PawnProximity... or if youre not using a trigger to open the doors, change the mover's bump type to BT_PawnBump

 

[EvilDrWong]

For anyone who cares, im making a Smartgun type weapon for ****s and giggles. Itll be included with the next update, along with one or two more goodies of which im not decided upon quite yet.

 

[barnEbiss]

I don’t mean to rain on the party but I was just thinking it would be better to do a separate mutator that was a weapons mutator and then another one that was a motion tracker replacer. So this did not become a full-blown mod and stayed as simple mutators

 

[barnEbiss]

another ingame pic I fixed the bsp holes in the airducts and am right now working on the other rooms

 

[barnEbiss]

ok here are some new pics
colony ops room is begining to shape up
and some pics of the temp APS I have added to the level when I am done I will replace the temp model there with a much better one

 

[barnEbiss]

Wong do you need anymore sounds??

 

[EvilDrWong]

Im satisfied as is, but if you all think they need more go ahead and shoot em over.

 

[barnEbiss]

no no the aliens sounds are fine I meant sounds for any weapons you might be adding in

 

[EvilDrWong]

oh, hell yeah
I guess for convenience's sake I can keep the packages seperate... *grumble grumble grumble*

edit: I redownloaded the map and went cruisin around a little. I found three open seams in the vents, but i only managed to screenshot two of them with location info
first one's somewhere around X= -2960, Y= -2768, Z= -7145 (Big block of missing polies on the floor where the square vent section connects to the slanted vent section)
second one's around X= -3787, Y= -169, Z= -7391 (on the ceiling right next to the light where the two vent sections connect)

 

[barnEbiss]

Yes I fixed those BSP problems three builds ago

 

[EvilDrWong]

gah, dont change the zip and i wont think im playing the newest version

 

[barnEbiss]

I will upload the new version soon
