Island ... 03 online

Some little changes:
new Raptor spornpoint at middle engergie,
middle energy in a bunker.....

Naularn ... 03 online

Spacerost ... 010 online ... 012 online

A for me classical U2xmp map too,

To find the most playble low grav we let version 010 and 012 online.
Test it and post your impression.

Orodruin ... 02 online

Now a map hot and classic,
and cool sound effects,
so copy the musicfile in sound folder.

Face3 ... 08 online

Hot and culty!
The most played UT2004 map in a spezial style.
Now online for all XMP-Fans!

San! had the idea to use the map-style for a spezial xmp-energie,
deploypoint and node. Wau feel like an Agypten playing XMP!

Decane Caldera ... 01 online

If you walk on this map you have the feeling it is for XMP only,
but it was desinged for CTF....
a must have for the XMP-Community

it seemed as this map has a good frontplace in the topranking
of the server Map Voting.

Very nice conversions overal.

 

[GotBeer?]

There will be a download somewhere?

 

[m!c]

Yes a download is planed, but please be comfortable first with the verry fast redirected dicrectory.

At the moment to many changes are planed in the maps, so that I must update each day server, redirected maps and than extra download directory. And at that many of maps and my shmall uplink,...... is it not a funny job.

Do you have probs to get maps from the the server GotBeer?

 

[GotBeer?]

I am crying over my dialup modem right now.

I do understand your problems, though. I'm not sure I could play on the de server, anyway. I'm sure I'll be able to get them once BBF starts running them.

 

[San!]

[dutch_gecko]

Like GotBeer I'd quite like a direct download link, because I can't actually join games at all (not a bug, uni campus firewall is teh suckage)

 

[m!c]

Please have a look above in my updated first post you find all download links and if we change something, you find there the information and update links.

Some changes at the weekend and we zip together a packdownload.

 

[XMP.Arc]

omg nice schtuff
gg's

 

[GotBeer?]

I'll try to take a look at them next week. Going out of town to give more relatives a chance to buy my child stuff, or just give her cash. She's 1yr old! Of course, travel at this time of year in "Alaska" can be kind of tough.

 

[Killinya]

some initial map feedback:

General –

Deploy Points - Need to go thru all the maps and make sure that all the deploy points have offsets from the default deploy point. I use 50% if there is a second unhackable deploy. For hackable, add them up, and space them out equally (eg if 2, use increments of .33, if 3 use increments of .25, 4 use .20, etc),
Radar – Simple radar is set up. Most of these maps need a background that follows the terrain. Its not as easy to do, but the finals should all have it (including mine))

Decane Caldera – the terrain preceding the catwalk as u approach the Red node from the right needs to be smoothed so you don’t have to duck to get under the catwalk
Ego – A few rocket packs laying around, too many deploy points…maybe too many energy’s too…
NeuFactor – Hackable deploys are too close to close to nodes

 

[Killinya]

One more...Any non-XMP conversion map (from CTF, etc) needs XMP landmarks added, So, when in the next patch you hit "I'm hacking this", They will get a location....so you will have to name everything too

 

[pistos]

Face: I like the map generally and believe it can provide a lot of really fun game play. But, I think it would be more competitive if the gravity was set a bit higher. It is so low right now that you can easily jump from one end to the other in a single bound. That seems a bit too easy to me for an arty run.

 

[San!]

No, is Face3 the Ägyp-Map, the ArtiNode is in the Building
only the Way from base to base is fast

but let us in the play decide

@killinya, do you make the BotPaths in the maps and the radar maps?

 

[Killinya]

@killinya, do you make the BotPaths in the maps and the radar maps?

I plan on working on Bot paths Very soon.

Radar maps...YOU need to learn to do TOO (as do I).

"The file anti_container_mix.wav is not a valid ut2k4 sound file. Is this the pre-converted (to UAX) sound file?"

Sorry it is the rest of a test, it is not neassary for the recent mappack.
Thanks for the hint.

I updated my first thread,
and so my job here is complet.

Hope to see you all next time on the xmp-server to a funny online test.

Thanks Killya to host the pack on BBF server and the creativ ideas you send to us.
