UWRC-TrainRace

[stevenhorton]

Here is a teaser pic of my current map; you will have to watch out for trains as well as other players

Ahh man that's awesome . I wanted to do a train map too .

Are the trains just movers?

 

[stevenhorton]

Yes, I don't know yet how to do animations yet, so a mover is the easiest method for me. You also have to go into the collision properties and set BlockKarma to true, or the vehicles can drive right through the train. If you still want to do a train map, send me a pick or two and I will model an engine for you

what happens if someone gets hit by a train? and how will this affect the gameplay through the level... like ive been in custom deathmatch maps where theres a train that simply dashes through the level every 20 seconds or something, and crosses the entire level in just a few seconds, but in unwheel , im guessing that the cars have similar speeds to the train, if not faster, so maybe we can have cars that go alongside the train, and the train tracks cross the car track after that, and players can see if they can cross the tracks before the train does

 

[stevenhorton]

There are 4 trains running constantly in the map, and naturally, my road wanders over the tracks several times

 

[Smokin]

thats looking like a really cool track well done!

I have made 3 models that you could use, the textures were cut out of photos.

 

[carmatic]

cool stuff, smokin... now thats what i call photorealistic!

anyway, umm... about these movers, are they the same as the doors and elevators that you find in normal deathmatch levels?how did you make them move like a train

 

[Smokin]

I am also modeling a crane which is around 800 polys.

If there is anyone good with photoshop or simlar that would like to redo some of my textures as they arnt very good at the moment it would be a great help as i only know the very basics with photoshop.

 

[stevenhorton]

Nice job Smokin My train and map are set in the 50's, so it has old gas stations and buildings. Some of the buildings you sent will work fine

 

[Kantham]

I just hope that it won't kill players online with 200 ping

Jesus?!!! where the hell that train comme from?

*cough*

hey this reminds me of that magnetic thing in as junkyard... reckon someone will put it in? this will be soooo like that beginning of that highway 17 map in half life 2....

"umm... about these movers, are they the same as the doors and elevators that you find in normal deathmatch levels?how did you make them move like a train" I have one piece of the train that is the base mover, the rest will follow if you give them the same tag as the base mover. One set of trains are simple rotators, they simply go in a circle. The passenger train only goes in a straight line, then gets turned around outside the map area for a return run.

 

[Smokin]

Here is a pic of 5 other building models that i have made.

 

[stevenhorton]

Smokin, I have a mesh for the top right textured building, but not the others. Any chance you can put the others on the server

 

[Smokin]

I have uploaded an updated building package with an extra 7 building tiles to the FTP.

 

[stevenhorton]

I downloaded them Smokin, thanks

 

[stevenhorton]

TrainRace is now about 90% finished

 

[Kantham]

Cool , i hope it won't be screwed up online (the trains)

 

[stevenhorton]

Umm, you would have to say something like that I never gave that any thought. Looks like I need to do some research now.

 

[Kantham]

I have maked a map lately , with some constant movers

And the trains where messed up when i maked attach movers to the lead train.
